Nba Trade Deadline
Big CatAndre Iguodala is the finesse king of the world
Andre Iguodala, the finesse king of the world, somehow sat out for half the year and is now getting paid more. He got two years, $30 million at age 36. And to live in Miami. That is... my guy got to promote his book, spend time with his family, get his mind right, and then gets to move to Miami and gets a shitload of money.
PFT CommenterThe Clippers got much better by adding Marcus Morris
I actually do think that the Clippers got a lot better. Oh, yeah. ... Marcus Morris, which is going to be awesome when they go up against LeBron. I feel like he's one of those guys in the league who... there's no LeBron stopper, but he's one of the guys who can make him annoyed. He wants to annoy LeBron to no end.
Big CatAndrew Wiggins will be the new Jeff Green and get traded constantly
Andrew Wiggins, I feel like might be a new age Jeff Green where he will get traded now. This will start the process of him being traded a million different ways. He's better than that, but a million different teams and everyone will keep saying, well, he's only 26. Well, he's only 27. He's got all the upside.
HankAl Horford might be a locker room cancer
It could be Al, though. I mean, he was part of the Celtics last year. They were a locker room disaster. People think it was Kyrie. They're a locker room disaster. What's a common denominator?
Big CatThe Cleveland Cavaliers are going all-in for the 8-seed
Then the Cavs did the opposite and traded for [Andre] Drummond and were like, we're going to go for this. ... There's nothing better than the team that's just like, we're all in for the 8 seed.
Fyre Fest
Big CatThe Dodgers have to win one because their 'all-ins' are becoming pathetic
And now the Dodgers, I mean, how many all-ins can the Dodgers... The Dodgers are going to break the record for the most all-ins. This decade, this is like their fifth or sixth all in. You've got to win one, Dodgers. This is so pathetic.
PFT CommenterThe Dodgers trading for David Price is just trading for a bigger choker than Clayton Kershaw
They literally traded for a bigger choker in David Price. ... the chances are David Price will probably choke before Clayton [Kershaw] does. They're going to be choking each other. It's going to be some real kinky shit.
Interview
Baker MayfieldI'm letting Big Cat and PFT fight my media battles while I stay quiet until the season starts
I think you can continue what we talked about. You fight back when I can't right now. I'm going to let it die down a little bit. I'm going to let you guys be on the front line for me. And then as soon as the season starts, I'll be back.
Baker MayfieldThe 2019 season was the first time I wasn't having fun playing football
Yeah, that was the first time I'd say I really wasn't having fun playing football. So for me, it's getting back to square one of I love the game of football. I'm going to make it fun. And that's how I play my best.
Big CatOklahoma deserves a one-year ban from the College Football Playoff
Oklahoma deserves a one-year ban from the college football playoffs. Their performances, I'm sick of it. ... Every year, halfway through the season, Oklahoma loses a game. ... and then they start playing defense. Everyone's like, you know what? Oklahoma's defense, not that bad. Not true. They are still bad.
Big CatThe Browns might not win a game next year
So the Browns are going to stink next year. ... I'm going to say it's not behind your back like a regional. You guys might not win a game. It's a bold strategy. ... We're going to dunk on everyone. Physically, we're not going to do anything. But you will, and then we will reap all the benefits.
Handball
Big CatU.S. NFL players would dominate Olympic Handball within months
You play a sport that if we decided to stop playing all the other sports, there would be a lot of guys better than what you're doing. ... If we were to take our best NFL players and put them in rugby uniforms... we would be much, much better. ... I'm not saying that I would be a gold medal handballist. I'd be probably a top pro. [Baker] his arm is better than any handballist's arm.
Xfl Preview
PFT CommenterThe XFL will eventually take over the NFL
Mark Trestman is good in leagues that don't really matter yet. ... Yeah, because the XFL is going to take over.
Outro
PFT CommenterAlex Ovechkin will officially be better than Wayne Gretzky after he scores his 700th goal
And Ovi just scored his 700th goal. ... I'm predicting. I'm going to be at the Caps game on Saturday night. I'm going to see him score two more goals. And then it's going to happen. Now he's officially better than Wayne Gretzky. Perfect.
