A man should only cry after losing his virginity or winning an Olympic medal

I always love it when our Olympians have a good cry... I would say that and maybe after you lose your virginity is the only acceptable time where a man can cry.

LeBron James would be the best of all time in any Olympic sport he chose

Could LeBron James dominate this sport? And the answer is always yes. If LeBron decided not to play basketball and instead was a swimmer or a high diver or a handball player or a soccer player, he'd probably be the best of all time.

While LeBron is a generational athlete, claiming he would be the GOAT in vastly different disciplines like swimming or soccer is speculative and likely physically impossible given his size.

[Tebow] is basically like a six-year-old... he's able to do that. And then he's like, I want to be on ESPN. And they put him on ESPN... the best thing that you can say about Tim Tebow is that he doesn't suck enough at anything where any job is really out of the remote possibility for him.

Mark Teixeira is one of the most forgettable great players of all time.

Mark Teixeira, I think, goes down as the most forgettable great player ever. Like one of the most forgettable great players of all time. He has over 400 home runs. He was great at first base. He won a title. And do you think there is a single Mark Teixeira fan out there?

Teixeira finished with 409 HRs and 5 Gold Gloves, but is rarely discussed as a top-tier legend of his era.

It is unavoidable for every high-volume media company to eventually have a scandal like the Hulk Hogan Gawker story.

It seems like it's unavoidable at certain points to have some story, because you're just churning out lots of content, to have some story go awry and go off the rails. I mean, Hogan, I think, is the most extreme, completely insane example of it. But I think that it's difficult, almost impossible to avoid.

While many media companies face scandals, the specific legal destruction of a company via a third-party funded lawsuit remains rare but a known risk.

Jay Cutler is the worst quarterback in the NFL
