Recap
PFT CommenterBill Belichick intentionally messes up social media app names to mess with the media
This is the second time that Belichick has intentionally messed up two apps. I think that Belichick knows a lot more about social media than he's letting on... Belichick pretends to not know what Facebook is... he's just absolutely fucking with the media and just putting on this show like, oh, I don't know what any of this is. And meanwhile, he goes out behind the curtain. He's got five cell phones and he immediately checks all his players' accounts.
Big CatAaron Rodgers is trying to 'cuck' Brett Favre's legacy
Uncoachable. He's now trying to cuck Brett Favre's legacy like a kid just running around back there. Brett Favre was the ultimate draw something up in the dirt. It's like the last thing that Brett Favre has. He was an old school gunslinger. Just go out there and I'll hit you. And now Aaron Rodgers is taking that from him.
Big CatLeBron James pretends he doesn't care about the Warriors, but he cares deeply
LeBron said, no, we're not rivals. He basically just said, I don't want to talk about that. I don't care about the Warriors. They can do their thing. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure LeBron made them put up a big poster right outside their locker room when they went to Cleveland earlier in the year, like the block and all that stuff. So classic LeBron. He's just pretending like he doesn't care, even though he cares deeply.
Big CatCarmelo Anthony's destiny is to be carried to a title by LeBron James
Melo's destiny is to have LeBron carry him to a title. That really is his destiny.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankPete Carroll is a cheater for lying on injury reports
My hot seat is Pete Carroll, coach of the Seattle Cheahawks. Got caught cheating... by lying about his injury report saying Richard Sherman, he had an injury the whole season, and he basically lied on the injury report every single week... his crime was lying and cheating.
Interview
Shawne MerrimanThe Steelers must start fast and take the Foxborough crowd out of the game to beat the Patriots
For one, it's going to be tough. It's one of the toughest environments I had a chance of playing throughout my career... they need to jump out fast. I mean, the first quarter or two, take the win out of the crowd. Once that happens, now they're on the playing field.
Shawne MerrimanI am officially unretired and would return to the NFL if a contender offered $10 million
If I had a good opportunity I want to play I want to play with a team that I have an opportunity to go win a championship because that's the only part of my career that is missing you know I'm missing the ring so if I had an opportunity to get a ring of course I go back in a second.
Shawne MerrimanLos Angeles is not ready to support two NFL teams
I don't think L.A. is ready for two football teams. They're still trying to get their feet on their own with the Rams, even though they didn't play well this last year... they don't show up until halftime.
Shawne MerrimanTito Ortiz will beat Chael Sonnen in their Bellator 170 fight
I'm going with Tito. Only because it's his last one, and I just know how he feels about his legacy, and he doesn't want to go out and lose it. So by any means, he's going to do whatever he can to win this fight... I'm taking Tito at the end.
Hmm
Big CatTom Brady gamed his combine/strength tests or the Patriots are lying about his scores improving with age
The damnest thing is happening with Brady. In each of the past three years, he improved his test scores in every category... [Hmm]. I used to do that when I did CrossFit... how you did one round, you had to beat it the next round. So you would just do really, really bad the first one. And then just kind of coast the rest. So maybe that's what Brady's doing.
Bachelor Talk
Big CatThe contestants on The Bachelor who cried over the Backstreet Boys were faking it
I'm calling bullshit on this. If there's some girls, maybe some girls, like, 1994, 1995 born, they were, like, five years old when Backstreet Boys were big... I feel like that was a try-hard move to start crying for that because they probably don't remember them, right?
