Recap
PFT CommenterA Mike and Mike reunion will eventually happen at ESPN
There's going to be a Mike and Mike reunion. It's going to happen. Jimmy [Pitaro] is going to go to Mike Golic with his hat in his hand and say, Mike, we screwed up. I'm going to double your salary, and I'm going to bring Mike Golic Jr. on every day if you move to New York.
Big CatThe NFL is trending toward eliminating the preseason in favor of a 19 or 20-game regular season
This is now how it chips away that we're going to maybe go no preseason 19-20 games. Regular season. McVay's doing that, too. McVay benched all his good players. So, I mean, I would be, you know, take away a couple preseason, give us a couple more regular season. I'd be okay with that. Why not? More football that way.
Who Is Back
Big CatI will not believe Texas football is 'back' until they win a meaningful bowl game
I am firmly in the camp of I will not listen to any Texas who's back until they actually play in a meaningful bowl game... I feel like Texas every year, they're back, and they're going to go 7-5.
Mount Rushmore
HankThe 'Pacific Ocean' is superior to the 'Atlantic Ocean' because it is twice the size
My number two, Pacific Ocean. Pacific Ocean, twice the size of the Atlantic Ocean. Has, like, Hawaii, all that cool shit. You could be a cool Cali teen in the Pacific Ocean.
Interview
John LynchMy career as a safety warrants a Pro Football Hall of Fame induction
I really believe that the way I played warrants me being in there... I tell you, and that's my true feelings that I'm humbled every time. But I do want in that thing.

HankThe 'Green Zone' on-field graphic will save the NFL's TV ratings
Breaking moves. I think the NFL has figured out how to save their ratings in their league. The green zone. It's a new feature they rolled out tonight. It's on third downs. It shows you how far players will have to go at any point during the play to get a first down.
Big CatNFL ratings will be insane this season despite hater predictions
All you fucking haters out there who say the NFL... Guess what? The NFL's back, and there's a shitload of us watching it. We love it... Ratings are going to be insane.
PFT CommenterTrevor Bauer is the dumbest player in Major League Baseball
What it basically amounts to is Trevor Bauer is the dumbest player in Major League Baseball, possibly sports... Trevor Bauer got spooked by a fake tweet in 2011 that Obama was going to take his fighting necklaces and confiscate them.
Monday Reading
Big CatUrban Meyer knew much more about the Zach Smith situation than the investigation report found
Saying Urban Meyer probably knew a lot more than this report has found... He probably remembers everything. And guess what? He's still coaching Ohio State, so he'll probably win a shitload of games. If your coach is good enough, they'll do the reverse engineering where instead of being like, let's find the facts, we'll be like, let's find the facts to make sure he stays as coach.
