The Nicki Minaj 'swollen balls' story is a Joe Biden psyop

I actually think this might be a psyop. This might be a story planted by Joe Biden himself to make people want to get the vaccine. Because knowing guys, as I do, if you hear that there's medicine out there that makes your balls huge, there's going to be some dudes that are going to be like, you know what? I could use a little bit of inflation.

It is a satirical conspiracy theory and not a factual claim.

Buy TikTok stock when it goes public

Mike Francesa told me... TikTok. Invest in TikTok. So invest in TikTok, invest in all the apps, invest in all the social media... when TikTok goes public, buy it, buy it again and get back in line three times to buy it some more.

TikTok remains a massive global platform, but ByteDance has not had an IPO as of late 2024.

Smashing televisions should be a top responsibility for a baseball manager

My favorite part of the story is that AJ Hinch not once but twice smash the TVs that Alex Cora was using to help cheat... I don't know what your job duties are as a manager, but I'm pretty sure that smashing televisions should be pretty high up on that list.

This is a comedic take on leadership and conflict resolution within a sports organization.

Alex Cora should get a lifetime ban just because it sounds 'juicy'

Alex Cora, I'm not in favor of a lifetime ban, but I am in favor of hearing the term lifetime ban. Oh, yeah. Definitely. It's awesome hearing Alex Cora has been issued a lifetime ban from baseball. Like I don't think that he deserves it and what I deserve to hear that... there's nothing more satisfying than just like when you read the words lifetime bans.

Alex Cora was suspended for the 2020 season but was not issued a lifetime ban; he returned to manage the Red Sox in 2021.

Mike Trout is the most boring athlete of all time

Mike Trout is the most boring athlete of all time. He's also the best baseball player currently. And Rob Manfred came out and said it's Mike Trout's fault because he's so boring.

The US needs to replace Uncle Sam with James Harrison as its national rebrand

The US is in need of a rebrand. Uncle Sam, I'm kind of sick of Uncle Sam, like the tall guy with the beard. Just put James Harrison in the Uncle Sam outfit. No country will fuck with us.

The US government has not officially rebranded using James Harrison.

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are stuck in Zeno's Paradox and will never actually fight

If I shot an arrow at you, it would never actually hit you because in order for the arrow to get to you, it would have to travel half the distance to you... that's what's happening with McGregor and Mayweather. They're just getting closer and closer and closer and closer until they just get old and die.

They actually did fight later that year on August 26, 2017, proving that they were not stuck in an infinite paradox.

Paul Tagliabue is the smartest person in the world for making Roger Goodell his concussion scapegoat

Paul Tagliabue basically said, I've known about concussions forever, but I kind of don't want to be asked about this anymore. So here, Roger Goodell, you look stupid enough to take this job and have everyone come at you and hate you. And that's exactly what happened. So he's actually the smartest person in the world.

While Tagliabue did face criticism for his handling of concussions, Roger Goodell became the public face of the league's struggle with the issue. The 'smartest person' claim is subjective but has a logical basis in the perception of Goodell's role.

Dan Haren is a genius for joining the Diamondbacks because their pitching can't get worse

Smart move for him to join that team because basically he can just go and fart and be like, oh, they're better. 30th ranked team. So basically, they can't get worse. He can just go pick his nose, fart, listen to Pardon My Take, and they'll, by just the law of averages, get a little bit better.

The Diamondbacks' team ERA improved from 5.09 (last in MLB) in 2016 to 3.66 (3rd in MLB) in 2017, proving Big Cat's 'they can't get worse' theory correct in spectacular fashion.
