I would not swap Mitchell Trubisky for Aaron Rodgers if it meant swapping their contracts
[If asked to swap Mitchell Trubisky for Aaron Rodgers and their contracts] No. No. If we had to swap contracts, it would be over the cap... So our defense wouldn't be as good. We're going to play some defense. We're going to run the ball.
Sean McVay's photographic memory is actually a curse when things go poorly
I think Sean McVay's photographic memory is a blessing and a curse because what do they always say? You have to have a short memory to get past the fucked up plays. So having a photographic memory is great when things are going really well. But then when things go really poorly, that's all you think about.
The Eagles cannot go back to Carson Wentz if Nick Foles runs the table and makes the playoffs
If Nick Foles runs the table here and the Eagles get into the playoffs and let's say he wins a game or two, how can you go back to Carson Wentz? This guy, like, that was a game 13.5-point underdogs. Everyone said the Eagles season was over. He's throwing jump balls to Alshon Jeffrey. He's getting the offense going.
I will cut off the tip of Big Cat's pinky if the Seahawks win the Super Bowl
I personally Dunchained the Seahawks. I think they were the inaugural Dunchain. And listen, Big Cat is being very, very accountable with his Texans Dunchain, saying that he will cut his pinky off. I just want to say I will be held accountable as well. If the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, I will cut off the tip of Big Cat's pinky.

The Dolphins are the other team where it's like, this team is 7-7. They might be the worst 7-7 team in the history of the NFL. And I'm sure Dolphins fans will get upset about that. But actually, you'll probably agree with me. They make no sense.
Vance Joseph should be fired immediately for kicking a field goal on 4th and 1 while down four
Vance Joseph... you Dan Quinned yourself. The all-time dumbest thing when he kicked a field goal... down four with like three minutes left and kicked a field goal on fourth and one from about the seven. You should be fired instantly when that happens.
Dak Prescott is more likely to airmail a pass than hit a receiver in the numbers on throws over 12 yards
Dak Prescott sucked [today]. He's airmailing. He does this thing where if he has to throw a pass, it's further than like... I'm going to say 12 yards downfield. He's more likely to miss the guy high by three feet than he is to hit him in the numbers.
I could throw for more than 57 yards in a regular NFL game
If you gave me a Nerf ball, I'd throw for more than 57 yards. [PFT: In an NFL game?] In an NFL game. I actually, you know what? Fuck it. I'd throw for more than 57 yards with a regular ball. I'd be a gunslinger. I'd just throw it every play. Really what I'd just do is screen pass, screen pass, screen pass.
Fighting is a young man's game and 50-year-olds have no business in the ring
At the end of the day, 50-year-olds have no business fighting. Fighting is a young man's game. There's some guys that have been able to beat time and still do well but they're very, very few and far between. 49-year-old people barely get on the treadmill and walk. You're going to be fighting in a professional fight? It's ridiculous.

Mike Tomlin and Jason Garrett are the same coach: 'the dog in the fire saying this is fine'
Mike Tomlin and Jason Garrett are the dogs sitting in the fire saying this is fine at all times. They love to just stand on the sidelines and say to themselves, well, this time it's got to be different.

A documentary of Lenny Dykstra looking for God would be the most watched thing ever

If the Bears don't win the Super Bowl, I want the Chargers to win it
obviously I want the Bears to win the Super Bowl, but if the Bears cannot win the Super Bowl, I want the Chargers to win the Super Bowl. They are America's team. This is talking about Antonio Gates, talking about Philip Rivers having fun.
Patrick Mahomes is getting a little too cute with his play style
I think sometimes [Mahomes] gets a little too cute. I think a little too cute. He throws a lot of left-handed passes. ... You know what bothers me is every time there's a penalty, he points way too fast that it's on the other team.
If I am ever on fire, do not piss on me to put it out
I want to say for the record, if I'm ever on fire, don't piss on me. No, just remind me to stop, drop, and roll. It's not going to help unless you're Peter North and have a stream like a fire hose. It's not going to put out the fire. You're just going to be pissing on me as I burn to death.

Odell Beckham Jr. is not a guy who can lead a team without another strong leader present
[Beckham] is not a guy that I think is going to lead your team anywhere if you don't have another strong leader on it. Hypothetically, if you had a leader on your team similar to Eli Manning, this is the exact kind of guy that you do not want to give a huge contract to.
Saquon Barkley might already be the best running back in the NFL
Give it to a guy who might be the best running back in the league, Saquon Barkley, things will be good for you. Like, hey, we don't have to worry about throwing it to Odell 12 times a game. Let's just keep giving it to Saquon. Oh, shit, this works?
It is impossible to win a tank battle against the Washington Redskins
You cannot tank against the Redskins. You will not win a tank battle against the Redskins. It does not happen. Not against Mark Sanchez. It does not happen. As much as [the Giants] may have been trying to tank, it was like, oh shit, we accidentally found ourselves back in the NFC playoff race.
The Dolphins always lose the week after beating the Patriots

Jabari Parker, he has been benched because, and this is, I mean, I have no sources to back me up except my own brain, but he was clearly the guy who started the mutiny, right? Because he didn't want to practice. He doesn't want to play defense.
Johnny Knoxville is the least coordinated member of the Jackass crew
The irony of [Johnny] Knoxville is that he's the least coordinated. He can't skate at all. And so his injuries were always the worst because he just wasn't prepared for those types of falls.

Nick Saban's little plan here is that by the time he's like 100 years old and is too old to coach, he'll actually have coached with every coach who's in college football and he knows how to beat every single one of them. So he wins like an extra seven national championships at the end of his career just because he knows everyone he's coaching against.
Drake only has a career because Kanye West popularized the 'backpack and polo' aesthetic
If it wasn't for Kanye putting on a polo shirt and a backpack, you think Drake's whack ass would be waltzing out of Toronto thinking that he could rap about being all up in his feelings and bullshit like that? Honestly, I do not know.

Signing Kirk Cousins was a bad idea that everyone predicted would fail
Kirk Cousins' signing was one of those things where everyone in the world was like, 'Hey, this is a bad idea.' To a man, everyone was like, 'Hey, this is a really bad idea.' But because of the NFL and how the quarterback position is played... anyone could be sucked in and talk themselves into saying Kirk Cousins.
Kirk Cousins is just Case Keenum in a tuxedo
Now, what he is, is Case Keenum in a tuxedo. He is the nicest looking version of Case Keenum that you can put together.

Gen Z should get more crap on the internet than millennials... Gen Z is 1995 to 2008...

Lori Greiner is the scariest Shark on Shark Tank
I'm always afraid of Lori. We're kind of in the same space of bringing consumer products to the market. And she has two platforms. She has a very strong platform with QVC. And she's also, if it's a woman-related product, she can be the face of it... I always have to have a tussle with Lori.
Buyer's remorse on Shark Tank deals usually stems from the entrepreneur's personality, not the product itself
I do end up having buyer's remorse later on down the line with a lot of products because a lot of times it's not the product that doesn't work. It's the entrepreneur that we don't see eye to eye.
Robert Herjavec is a very keen businessman who knows how to work his angles by acting nice

Adam Ottavino says that he can strike out Babe Ruth every single time. Well, he definitely can right now, Babe Ruth's dead body. But seriously, I love these debates. They are what sports are all about, debating things that we can never prove.
