MrBeast is effectively providing single-payer healthcare to individuals

I think the objection should be the fact that there are so many people out there that need a simple surgery that costs like a thousand dollars that can't afford it... Be mad at how we do healthcare.

The 10th strike is the most difficult part of bowling a 300 game

Everybody says the first one is the hardest one to throw. I totally disagree. I think the 10th one is. Because if you don't get the 10th one, then you have no chance... if you got the front nine, that 10th one is the most important.

A future Super Bowl punishment should be that someone has to hit a hole-in-one.

The late hit penalty on Joseph Ossai was 100% the correct call

The Eagles roster is better than the Chiefs at every position group except quarterback and tight end

Andy Reid versus Sirianni. I would give the, I would put the check mark on Andy Reid's side on that one. So they [the Chiefs] get head coach and quarterbacks.

The NBA play-in tournament gives bad teams a false sense of hope that they actually have a chance to win

The first team to stop an early fourth down conversion will win the 49ers-Eagles game

NFL teams cannot just 'flip the switch' in the playoffs

The Buffalo Bills are a finesse team that can't run the ball or stop the run

Bill O'Brien is a great hire for the Patriots because he understands the standard

I think it's a great move for the Patriots because [Bill O'Brien] understands the standard. He's been in the situation of being a coach in the organization... and he's also been a head coach... he single-handedly developed Deshaun Watson, made him a $250 million quarterback.

Patrick Mahomes will not be able to practice physically before the AFC Championship

Joe Burrow is the best quarterback at 'quarterbacking' while Patrick Mahomes is just a great football player who plays quarterback

Brock Purdy will not be able to survive the environment at Lincoln Financial Field

Our franchises are... they will never have nice things. Like if Patrick Mahomes was drafted by the Bears, the Bears would've ruined him.

I will root for Aaron Rodgers to win a Super Bowl the moment he leaves the Packers

If Aaron Rodgers goes anywhere else, I will root for him to win a Super Bowl.

No rookie quarterback is going to win in the Linc against the number one seed Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys are the most delusional, disgusting fan base in American history

I'm not bullshitting when I talk about Cowboy fans. I mean what I say about them. They are the most delusional, disgusting fan base in American history. It doesn't matter what happens to them. Give it 15 minutes. 'All right, we'll do it next year. We're going to win Super Bowl next year.' It's just nauseating. They don't take any time to smell their stench, which is why it's so enjoyable when they lose over and over and over again.
