Bill Clinton saw Tyson cry and decided to claim his White House sex was 'anxiety management'

Bill Clinton said today... that he received oral sex in the White House because it was managing his anxiety. Mental health is kind of buzzing right now... He saw Tyson cry and he's like, 'You know what? Yeah, I got sucked off because I was anxious.'

This is a satirical interpretation of Clinton's actual comments in the Hulu documentary 'Hillary'.

Spinzone: Jimmy Garoppolo was actually saving kids' lives by going on a date with a porn star

The porn star won an auction, a charity auction, to spend an evening with Jimmy Garoppolo. So he was saving kids' lives by taking the porn star on a date. I don't know if this is true or not. In fact, it sounds exactly like something that you would make up to tell your girlfriend if you got caught.

This was a satirical 'spin' and not a factual claim; the 'charity auction' story was never verified and was likely made up for the bit.

Mark McGwire's claim that he didn't need PEDs for 70 home runs is ridiculous

Mark McGwire has come out out of nowhere and said that he didn't need PEDs to hit 70 home runs. He could have done it without him. All I got from this is Mark McGwire did PEDs. Sammy Sosa now was the home run king in 1998 with 66 home runs. It is hilarious to look at a picture of Mark McGwire on the A's and then look at a picture of Mark McGwire on the Cardinals.

While McGwire was a great hitter, 70 home runs is an extreme outlier that almost certainly required the strength boost from PEDs.

Brock Osweiler being benched is a win because it keeps him off the Browns jersey of failure

His name is not going to be on that Browns jersey that has the list of every single quarterback that they've had for the last 20 years. Because once your name goes up there, it's up there forever. Immortalized. And it's embarrassing. And Osweiler would be like the perfect punchline on that thing.

Since he never started a game for the Browns, his name was indeed spared from the literal 'jersey of failure' that fans updated at the time.

It's better to be the backup quarterback of the Jaguars than the starter

It's better to be the backup quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars than the starting quarterback. He's not going to have all that stress, so he's not going to lose his hair as fast.

Being a backup in the NFL is generally considered a better job 'per hit taken' for high pay, though hair loss is speculative.

Brock Osweiler helped his teams by keeping the defense on the field

The Texans had a really good defense. And so Osweiler did a great job of keeping their best unit on the field. [Same with the Broncos]. Brock Osweiler knows how to have his team play to its strengths by always keeping the defense on the field.

Literally incorrect; having the defense on the field for long periods is a disadvantage, but the sarcastic 'spin' makes it a memorable bad take.

The NFL letting players take pain pills while banning weed is hypocritical

Roger Goodell punishing Josh Gordon by not letting him play for the Browns is actually doing him a favor

Telling a player that your punishment is that you don't have to play for the Cleveland Browns is probably a little bit misguided. So, like, hey, good for Josh. He doesn't have to be a Brown.

Gordon eventually returned to the Browns later that year but was eventually traded to the Patriots, supporting the idea that leaving Cleveland might be beneficial.

The contract was universally panned and Glennon was benched after four games for Mitch Trubisky, confirming the lack of a competitive market.

The 49ers having no quarterbacks is liberating for Kyle Shanahan's play-calling

Butch Jones' 'five-star hearts' recruiting philosophy is a spin for missing out on actual talent

Butch Jones, Tennessee, they're back... Butch Jones said this after maybe a less than stellar recruiting class: 'We want five-star hearts and five-star competitors.' So he's not looking for five-star recruits. He's looking for five-star hearts.

Here's my spin zone for Lane Kiffin taking this job in Boca Raton. If he wants to go fuck any guy's wife, it's probably like a 100-year-old woman, so he's not going to do it. It's kind of like self-limiting behavior... Lane Kiffin's not going to go to a place where he just wants to cuck every dude he sees. It's like if you're an alcoholic, go take a job in Utah.
