Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatRoger Goodell should suspend Tom Brady for cliff diving with his daughter
It would be the ultimate troll move by Roger Goodell to suspend Tom Brady for one game after Tyreek Hill gets zero and just be like, hey, there's videotape... wouldn't be right, but it would be fucking funny.
Mount Rushmore
PFT CommenterKirk Cousins is the most average quarterback of all time
Kirk Cousins, probably the most average quarterback that these two eyes have ever seen. He will beat every team that is less than 8-8, and he will lose to every team that is better than 8-8... you never expect him to do anything great, and guess what? He never does.
Big CatNC State is the most average college football team in history
North Carolina State football... they are five-ten overall for their entire history. Five hundred and ten winning percentage. They have twenty-three of the last 40 years they've gone to a bowl game. All the bowl games are like the exact same... the Gator Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Independence Bowl... Every year is basically 7, 8, 9 [wins].
Interview
Adnan VirkYou cannot fire Joe Maddon unless there is a clear replacement like David Ross
Whenever you fire a guy, you have to be able to say, hey, we've got the next man up. Like, who is the one lurking in the wings? I think people think it's David Ross... if it's Rossi, then I'm all in.
Big CatDavid Ross would be a great manager because modern baseball is about clubhouse management over X's and O's
I think the way that the manager position in baseball has moved to now, it's less about the X's and O's... It's a lot more about keeping a clubhouse together... and I think David Ross would be great at that aspect.
PFT CommenterAdnan Syed probably killed Hae Min Lee
The point of that podcast [Serial] is to just inundate you with both sides of everything... The show would not be interesting if it was just very clear that he was railroaded... I think he probably did it. Yeah. All things being equal.
Adnan VirkIn The Sopranos finale, David Chase whacked the audience
I believe that David Chase actually whacked us. He whacked the audience because we're watching him and we go to black. We can't see any more of the story. So I think that we get killed.
Adnan VirkBreaking Bad had the greatest TV show ending of all time
Breaking Bad would be like the best. I don't think it can get any better than that... Everything felt clear. His kids still get the money. Jesse gets away. He's the moral conscious. Hank does die, which I think at that point, he doesn't want to die. He needed to die.
Big CatNovak Djokovic is the Tennis GOAT
Djokovic is the GOAT. [Adnan: No, you're brutal.] How much does it suck to root for a guy [Federer] who keeps losing to Djokovic?
Recap
Big CatWatching Monday Night Raw for a Stone Cold appearance is better than watching The Bachelorette
It's so lame that people watch that show [The Bachelorette]. Be a real man and watch three hours of Monday Night Raw just so that Stone Cold [Steve Austin] can come out for the last five seconds... I did that last night.
Sports Biz Minute
Jake MarshCollege football coaches should wear helmets and full pads on the sideline
Why the heck do baseball managers wear full uniforms?... Imagine if other sports did this. Give me Coach O [Ed Orgeron] in a helmet and full pads, parlayed with Greg Popovich.

PFT CommenterJake Butt will suffer another torn ACL in the next 36 to 48 hours
We're about to, I'd say, like in the next 36 to 48 hours for Jake Butt, [torn] ACL. I hope not... the NFL is a much better place when there is a guy named Butt on the back of his jersey running around making plays.
Big CatMatthew Stafford is an elite sucky quarterback who cannot win a Super Bowl
There's the really good sucky quarterback. [Matthew] Stafford is a perfect... he is an elite sucky quarterback. But you're like, if you had to ask yourself, could Matt Stafford win a Super Bowl? Answers probably no. He's right on the edge of suck. That's why he's an elite sucky quarterback. Because it's like, if you put him in the right spot, everything could go perfectly.
PFT CommenterThe Browns are definitely winning the Super Bowl this year
Well, the good news is the Browns are going to win the Super Bowl this year. 100%. Hammer the Browns this year.
PFT CommenterNo list should ever last 100 places
100 is way too many for anything. There should be no list that lasts 100 places.
