Recap
Big CatJalen Brunson taking a massive pay cut is the coolest move possible for a fan
Pretty much the coolest move you can do if you're a fan of the Knicks. I don't think players, I think players should get what they're worth, but I wouldn't complain if our were Knicks fan right now that he just left 113 million on the table to make his team better and hope and deliver a championship to the Knicks.
PFT CommenterEngland soccer is never going to 'come home'
It's not coming home. Not coming home. It's never gonna come home. It left, it walked out the door. You got empty Nest syndrome. It's not coming back. England soccer is just, it's gotta be brutal to root for.
Big CatTornadoes do not hit big cities
You gotta worry about the tornado—tornadoes don't hit cities though. That's good. Like big cities. I think it's something about like the wind or something in the big, in the buildings, buildings stopping it. I don't know... I think they—tornadoes do not hit big cities.
Christian YelichI will compete in a Home Run Derby at some point in the future
I can confirm I'm not competing in this year's Home Run Derby... [but] that's the plan. I think that'd be a good goal to have... not if we do it, but when we do it.
Who Is Back
Big CatTeam USA basketball winning gold isn't enough; they must dominate by 10+ points every game
I will not be celebrating a gold medal if we win the semi-finals—if the semi-finals or the finals games are within 10 points. Either of them. I will not be celebrating this gold medal. I want to see domination.
Mount Rushmore
Big CatMVP Baseball 2005 is the greatest baseball game ever created
MVP Baseball 2005 was the greatest baseball player—was MVP Baseball? Yeah. The greatest baseball game. I think '04 as well was very good... those two versions were so, so elite.
Interview
Baker MayfieldMike Evans is a top 5 receiver of all time if he plays a few more years
If he plays three, four more years the way he's been playing, he's a top five receiver of all time. No he is... he's had 10 seasons in a row of a thousand yards. And he's the consistent one. Right. And like he doesn't get that recognition.
Baker MayfieldI saw a bright circle UFO in Austin, Texas
Literally like, we got the, the screen on the car's real bright... Emily's in the passenger seat. She's looking at her phone, this like, like circle shape object. Like bright as hell. Literally just goes from right here and goes straight down. She was looking at her phone... it was so bright that she looked up and saw it too and it just like disappeared. Like completely disappeared.
Baker MayfieldAdam Schefter is one of the few media members you can actually trust with off-the-record information
Adam and I actually are close... he's one of the media members you can actually trust that if it's off the record, it's not going anywhere. Like he actually will keep it close to the vest.
