Women love it when men tell them what to like and order for them at restaurants

Chicks love it when guys tell them what they like. Or order for them at a restaurant. It's just like whenever you're like, 'hey, this is actually you don't like that. You like what I like.' It just shows that you're not afraid to take charge.

Carlos Zambrano would win a Home Run Derby between the best-hitting MLB pitchers

I think it might be Carlos Zambrano that might win that one [a pitchers home run derby]. It'd be close between MadBum [Madison Bumgarner] and Zambrano, but I didn't want you to hit Zambrano... He's broken more bats than any man I've ever seen.

This is a hypothetical comparison of players' hitting abilities.

Skyline Chili is actually good and I love it

I love Skyline Chili... Every time, the first time I got called up to the big leagues with the Reds... I had two chili dogs. Skyline Chili has always been a classic for me, man. I can't hate on that. Skyline Chili is the best. They can't give enough cheese, baby.

Golf does not belong in the Olympics

I'll tell you one thing I think is ridiculous is all this Olympics and golf... to me, the Olympics does – it's not golf. If you're a golfer... it just seems silly. You want to win the British Open, you want to win the Masters, you want to win the U.S. Open... nobody cares about the Olympics. It's track and field, it's weight lifting, it's swimming.

Any team with a 'Big Three' is automatically at least a three seed

The key is as long as you can assemble a group of three people together and call them the big three, then you're automatically going to be like at least a three seed. Right. That's the rule.

The 2016-17 Bulls (Wade, Butler, Rondo) finished as the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Bulls' success relies on other NBA stars getting season-ending injuries in April

Everyone basically – the strategy in the NBA now is either tank and rebuild or build a team like the Bulls where you're hoping [LeBron], [Kyrie], Al Horford, [Kawhi], [Steph Curry], [Kevin Durant], [CP3] – all get season ending injuries sometime around April and i think that if that happens the bulls have positioned themselves into a nice spot where they could at least get to the eastern conference finals right

The 2016-17 Bulls finished 41-41 and lost in the first round. The superstars listed did not suffer catastrophic simultaneous injuries in April.

Peeing in the pool is the most natural thing in the world

Conor McGregor has no chance against Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match

Conor would have to step away from mixed martial arts and focus exclusively on boxing for like two years to have any sort of chance against Floyd Mayweather. I don't like Conor in that fight at all. ... I don't give Conor much of a chance.

Mayweather defeated McGregor via 10th-round TKO in 2017. McGregor was competitive early but ultimately had no real chance to win.

The German soccer team's aggression always comes too late in major matches

I would have 'Pete Rose'd' the hot dog contest and thrown it if I could have bet on my own under in Las Vegas

I am ground zero for sports stars and the first sports celebrity who wasn't an athlete

You're the first guy to become a sports celebrity that wasn't an athlete. ... You are ground zero for sports stars.

My reception at Cubs games is comparable to when the Beatles showed up at Shea Stadium

I was in Chicago for the Dodgers-Cubs. They swarmed me. They overwhelmed me with kindness and love. They were chanting, 'Marlins Man, Marlins Man' between the innings... I go, are you kidding? Watch what's going to happen. It's going to be like when the Beatles showed up at Shea Stadium. And it happened.

I cannot stand his [Verlander's] girlfriend because of what she did... She was at a game, and she refused to sign autographs for a girl in a wheelchair who was disabled, and it was her birthday because she said, 'I'm not signing.' ... When she got up, I stood up and booed, and the whole section stood up and booed when she left. But Justin Verlander, they got shelled in the next inning.

You can't catch home runs when you sit in the first row behind home plate like Marlins Man

If he wants to talk it out and have lunch... I would even go to a game with him.

I would gladly help Marlins man catch a baseball game.
