Recap
Big CatBig Ben Roethlisberger taking a pay cut is the ultimate 'hero ball' move.
This might be my favorite Big Ben move ever because he took a pay cut... But he signed a big money contract knowing he was going to get paid like $40 million when he was very old and at the end of his career. And now he's hero ball, going to take a pay cut on the contract that he signed to get paid a ton of money when he was really old. This is the greatest thing that Big Ben has ever done.
PFT CommenterSteelers fans should not be excited about Big Ben Roethlisberger returning for another year.
If I was a Steelers fan, I would not be super thrilled about another year of Big Ben.
PFT CommenterThe NFL salary cap doesn't actually matter.
Basically, [the salary cap] doesn't matter... teams will go from under $20 million over the cap to magically, oh, they have a bunch of cap space.
Big CatPeople who don't believe in aliens are losers.
People who don't believe in aliens are losers. Straight up. Why would you willingly convince yourself that aliens don't exist? It's like betting the under.
Jake MarshJim Boeheim was wrong to attack reporter Matthew Gutierrez during his press conference.
Boeheim should not have gone after him... He was being a pro and being a good journalist. He probably was looking like a twerp, and Boeheim was just like, 'fuck you.'
Billy FootballTrevor Lawrence is just a 6'6" version of Tate Martell who has kept a 'mirage' going.
My take about Trevor Lawrence is that he is basically Tate Martell. But since he's taller, because Tate Martell undefeated in high school, greatest quarterback recruit ever, the only difference is Trevor Lawrence is 6'6", not 5'11", and he's been able to keep the mirage up.
Billy FootballMac Jones has the most promise of any quarterback in the 2021 draft class.
I think Mac Jones actually has the biggest promise out of all of them because he's not going to go to one of the top draft pick teams... He's going to go to a team that has a pretty good established team but needs a quarterback.
Interview
Eric MusselmanThe March version of the 2021 Arkansas Razorbacks would beat the November version by 15 to 18 points.
This current Razorback team playing in March would probably beat our November Razorback team by about 15 to 18 is what I would roughly guess. We're more confident.
Eric MusselmanA basketball team that makes over 200 passes in a game is unlikely to lose.
We found if we move the ball 200 plus passes, we're not going to lose many games. And then the games that we play really poorly offensively are usually our lowest passing games.
Fyre Fest
PFT CommenterThe new Space Jam movie isn't worth seeing because Lola Bunny is no longer 'thick.'
Lola Bunny is no longer thick. It sucks... I don't think I'm going to go see the new Space Jam. If I can't get aroused to a cartoon character in a movie about basketball, then I don't think it's worth my money buying a ticket.
Billy FootballUnpaid internships shouldn't be abolished because there are government grants available for them.
What I was trying to say is that there's you can't get we can't get rid of unpaid internships... There's plenty of search engines to find funding and scholarships for unpaid internships that you can qualify for, especially underrepresented... You don't get paid from the employer, but you can get grants so you can take those.
