Picks
Big CatI am taking the over on the Alabama-Oklahoma game regardless of the total
Alabama playing Oklahoma. I'm taking the over no matter what. It's like 80, but that's one of those ones they're challenging me. Let's do it. They're telling me you won't do this, and I fucking will.
Big CatI think Notre Dame might beat Clemson because I can't bet on two favorites in the same night
I can't take both favorites, so I'm taking Notre Dame, and I think they might win the game. Solely because of the other game [Alabama-Oklahoma].
PFT CommenterDabo Swinney is the second best head coach in the country
I think Dabo is probably the second best coach in the country. I think he's way better than Brian Kelly. I like the Clemson. I like the Rock.
Interview
Baker MayfieldI would love to run the same offense in the NFL that I ran at Oklahoma
To me, yeah, obviously the easiest answer would be, yeah, I'd love to run the offense I did at Oklahoma. That's because I had three years to do it, and I got so comfortable in it.
Gordon HaywardIt is human nature for an injured player to sometimes root for their team to lose
I don't think you'd be human if there wasn't a part of you that was like, I hope that we lose. It's the competitive nature in you. Kyrie's probably going through the same thing. Like, I wish I was out there. I wish I was helping the team win. I think to compete at this level, you have to have that mentality.
Mark WahlbergEli Manning deserves more respect from Giants fans despite being benched
Why are they still playing Eli Manning and benching Blake Bortles? That makes no sense. Eli brought them two championships, even though they were bullshit wins. They count. Eli should get the kind of respect that he deserves from the Giants fans, and all these guys are flipping so quick.
Von MillerI believe I can play 10 more years in the NFL
I probably got like 10 more. Yeah, I probably got like six or like seven real years in me than the last three I just steal. Just get in on third downs.
CJ McCollumThe Cleveland Browns will win at least six games this season
Shout out to the Cleveland Browns. You're going to win a game this year. We're going to win at least six games.
Kevin SmithInvesting in professional sports is a much smarter financial move than investing in movies
Putting money into movies is one of the most foolish investments you'll ever make in your life. Invest in sports. You know why? Because sports, people always want to go. Sports are seasonal. It's cyclical. Going to see a movie, that's a crapshoot, man. That's like Vegas.
Peanut TillmanModern NFL rules favor the offense so much that it is no longer good quality football
It [pisses me off] because the rules favor the offense so much. They favor the offense, and it's frustrating to watch. And fans, for whatever reason, they want to see high-scoring games. And to me, it's not fun. That's not good quality football.
Peanut TillmanCam Newton should have dove for the fumble in the Super Bowl
What do you think about Cam's business decision? Yeah, I think you just go for the ball, man. Be a team player.
