I know more about steroids than most doctors, most endocrinologists. Believe me when I tell you that.

Endocrinologists attend four years of medical school and three to four years of residency. Canseco's credentials are experiential.

I am going to 'skull fuck' Jose Canseco in our fight

I'm going to skull fuck him. ... I'm absolutely going to skull fuck him. No doubt. He's tiny. I mean, yeah, he looks big. He's 270 pounds. But I just care about the frame. He has a smaller frame than I thought.

Billy dominated the fight and Jose quit within seconds.

I am guaranteeing that I will enter 'Berserker Mode' during my fight with Jose Canseco

Billy dominated the fight and knocked out Canseco in seconds, fulfilling his promise of intense focus and aggression.

I am starting to lean toward betting on the Bucs in Super Bowl LV because Tom Brady is alone and focused

The tweet that I saw, Tom Brady has had the house to himself with his family out of town. It'll be 12 days of preparation alone. He said he's never had that much time to prepare his mind and body before... That got in my head, and I was like, wait, what? He has how much time? He's never had this much time? Uh-oh. I'm starting to like the Bucs.

The Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV 31-9 over the Chiefs.

Tom Brady's family being out of the house is actually bad because it takes him out of his rhythm

I don't like that. It takes him out of his rhythm. Aaron Rodgers hasn't had his family in his house for years, and look where that got him last week.

Brady's preparation resulted in a dominant 31-9 victory, suggesting the isolation was not a negative factor.

Tom Brady will uncover a game-winning play in the fourth quarter because of his extra film study

That means that he's going to uncover something that he never saw and it's going to come out in like the fourth quarter and then Peter King's going to fucking masturbate onto a piece of paper being like Tom Brady found this in our, you know, 746 of sitting in his Tampa Derek Jeter's house by himself.

The Bucs won comfortably (31-9), so there wasn't a desperate 4th quarter breakthrough needed, though Brady was masterful throughout.

The Tyrann Mathieu/Bruce Arians connection is an overlooked storyline of the Super Bowl

I'm surprised nobody's talked about this yet. The Tyrann Mathieu Bruce Arians connection about how Bruce took the chance to draft Tyrann because back when Bruce was in school, he got kicked out... this honey badger reminds me a lot of me back in the day... Honey Badger's been a little bit overlooked this season.

Whether a storyline is 'overlooked' is subjective, though Mathieu was a prominent figure in Super Bowl coverage.

Kelsey first touchdown in the Super Bowl is a great bet at 7-1 odds

Super Bowl prop, Kelce, first touchdown. That guy's ridiculous. I mean, you go over seven and a half receptions. He has eight with six minutes left in the second quarter. So he's getting shovel passes, bowling ball passes from the two-yard line. I like that at 7-1 or 7-5.

The first touchdown in Super Bowl LV was scored by Rob Gronkowski. Travis Kelce did not score a touchdown in the game.

Billy Football can beat Jose Canseco by moving around and avoiding toe-to-toe fighting

I know how you can beat them. You have to move around. You cannot fight with him. Toe to toes because you might get killed. But you move around, you're going to have a better chance... He's just a handmaker, you know. I don't think he knows how to fight, but he don't know how to survive.

Billy dominated the fight and Canseco went down quickly, validating the idea that Canseco didn't 'know how to survive' the pressure.

Jose Canseco is not a real fighter; I have seen him hide in the dugout during brawls

Jose is not a fighter. I see personally drill him. Drill him. And half of the team was in the middle of the field when we turned around. Jose is still in the dugout. Jose is not a fighter. Jose just wanted you to show him respect and love when he was playing.

This is an eyewitness claim that is historically verifiable through teammates, though Canseco often disputes his lack of toughness.

Modern MLB is missing real leadership because players are too worried about social media and their wives

My leader, they will kick your fucking ass... nowadays, wife waiting for the husband, now the kids got to go to school we got to hurry up and they don't have a chance opportunity to talk about the game... they don't watch a game on TV...

The Rams must win a Super Bowl in the next two years before their seven-year lack of first-round picks catches up to them

The Rams' window feels like it's pretty small here, and they have to kind of win a Super Bowl in the next two years before the fact that they haven't had a first-round draft pick in seven years is going to catch up.

The Rams won the Super Bowl in the very next season (2021), successfully capitalizing on the window Big Cat described.

The Matthew Stafford trade lowered the market price for Deshaun Watson

Judging off my newfound expertise in the stock market, they'll look at this as being like, wow, that's one less buyer that we could have. So I guess the price is going down on Deshaun.

The Watson trade market eventually yielded three first-round picks from Cleveland, which was a higher price than Stafford's, suggesting the price did not go down.

It is better for a team to let another team develop a player and then trade for them once you know they are good

As a lazy person i kind of respect it because it's like let somebody else develop the guy and then once you know if they're good or not then yeah that's actually probably worth more like giving up a higher pick in the future for someone that you know for a fact is already good.

The Matthew Stafford trade is a home run for the Detroit Lions

The Lions' perspective from this, it was a home run for them in the fact that they are trying to fully rebuild now instead of half rebuild... I think it's a home run for the Lions. I think they did the right thing.

The Lions used these assets to build a powerhouse in the NFC North, and Jared Goff revitalized his career in Detroit.

Patrick Reed is objectively good for the sport of golf because he's a villain
