Sleeping is the most dangerous thing you can do once you hit your mid-30s

I actually think that sleeping is the most dangerous thing that we do once we hit our mid thirties. [In response to dislocating shoulder in sleep] I woke up and my shoulder was literally out of its socket and I had to pull it back into its socket.

The Rams are officially overrated and no longer a top-three NFC team

I'm a full-on believer in the Cowboys now

I'm a full-on believer in the Cowboys now. When they're clicking, they have every piece that you need to play with the top team. This is a hundred percent what you need Mike McCarthy to be doing... keeping him away from all the actual play design.

The Cowboys finished 12-5 but lost in the Wild Card round to the 49ers, failing to live up to 'full believer' expectations in the postseason.

Notre Dame will sneak into the playoff over Cincinnati

Notre Dame [is] sneaky and over Cincinnati, which I would be the most wrong thing of all time, but also would be the funniest thing of all time.

Cincinnati successfully made the 2021 College Football Playoff as the #4 seed, while Notre Dame finished #5 and missed out.

I am officially done ever thinking that anyone can score on Georgia

I'm officially done ever thinking that anyone can score on Georgia. That first drive by Tennessee... and then they just destroying everyone. There's just no way that you can keep up with that defense.

Georgia's defense was indeed historic, leading them to a National Championship while allowing just 10.2 points per game on the season.

LeBron James is an absolute fraud for how he handled the Alex Caruso departure

Last night was a perfect encapsulation of how LeBron is just an absolute fraud. The story came out that the Lakers basically asked Caruso to take less money... LeBron is the GM. Everyone knows this... then it's all over him hugging them on social media like 'love you bro'.

Giannis Antetokounmpo might leave the Bucks in two years for a new challenge

Giannis signed a 3-year extension in 2023, keeping him in Milwaukee past the 2-year window mentioned.

The character of Kevin Malone from 'The Office' is a secret genius savant

The basis for this... is that Kevin Malone is a secret genius. He's a gambler... he's an idiot savant. There's a written story that was shot [where] Kevin Malone goes into bars, everybody wants to buy him a drink... he has accumulated such a credit at that bar that he uses that as leverage to own the bar. That is through written story that was shot.

This is a matter of fictional character interpretation and canon, confirmed by the actor himself.

Aaron Rodgers should be in jail or prison for holding a super spreader event and lying about his vaccination status

Do you think Aaron Rodgers should be in jail or prison for holding a super spreader event every Sunday and willfully lying to the public about his vaccination status? And should he have to strip his Superbowl away? Probably.

Aaron Rodgers did not go to prison and remains a Super Bowl champion; this was a purely comedic/satirical claim.

Pitt's bad home field turf is a competitive advantage

Hand size is a fake concern for NFL scouts; if you can throw ropes, the measurement doesn't matter

I know that's a huge concern for everyone... but [I] throw 45 yards on a rope. But it doesn't say like 'from a small hand.' It's the weirdest thing. The things I get tagged in... it is what it is.

Pickett went on to be a first-round pick and started for the Steelers, though his small hands (8.5 inches) remained a talking point in his NFL career.

There are no fast quarterbacks that have worn two gloves

I can guarantee you that there's no fast guys that have worn two gloves. [Roethlisberger] back when he had functional athleticism, but that's not fast fast.

While mostly a stylistic observation, quarterbacks like Teddy Bridgewater (who had a 4.79 40) wore two gloves, and Peyton Manning (slow) did as well. It's generally a trend rather than a hard rule.

Tom Brady finally looks old

The only reason I'm not going to say that the football team is like officially back, back, back, back back is I think Tom Brady looks old. He looked old today. He was mistaking and dunk and he was bad in the first half.

Brady finished 2021 leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns, so he wasn't 'old' in a performance-declining sense yet.

Antonio Brown is the most important player on the Buccaneers

I think officially we have to say it's Antonio Brown... The Bucs are five and O with Antonio Brown and they're one and three without him. He is the difference maker for Tom Brady and how he wants to run an offense and the security blanket and the guy he trusts the most.

This is subjective, but the statistical disparity when he played was significant until his mid-game exit from the team later that season.
