Bills HC Sean McDermott, Hard Knocks Episode 3 + Mt Rushmore of Leftovers

Hard Knocks episode three is when you realize you're just ready for real football

That feeling of Hard Knocks episode one is one of the best feelings in the calendar because you're like, we want football. And then you get to episode three and you're like, okay, I wanna play real games.

New technology is ruining the art of slacking off in professional sports

[Easy] dealt with something that I realized during this show, I would absolutely hate about being a professional athlete, which is every practice, every rep is videotaped. I think technology's it's ruining the art of slacking off.

The Brooklyn Nets will be a top 4 team in the East if Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving play

I don't know if they'll want, but they were like before Kevin Durant got hurt, they were the one seed last year. I think if Kyrie and Kevin Durant and that's a big if play, they will be a top I don't know what we call it, three, four, four team in the East.

Kevin Durant's staying in Brooklyn signals the end of extreme player empowerment

I just feel like the way that this whole thing went down, it's gonna wake up a lot of different GMs and owners around the league where it's like, oh yeah, you don't actually have to trade somebody just because they ask you to. I think this is like one of those course correction things where the pendulum is gonna swing back away from player empowerment.

Ben Simmons, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant will combine for under 139 games played for the Nets this season

Set the over under, if we could put up a bet, that's like will Ben Simmons, Kyrie, and Kevin Durant play over under 139 games for the Brooklyn Nets? I'm taking the under. I'll be honest. I'm taking the under big time.

Will Zalatoris made a deal with the devil to win one tournament and his injury is the cost

I'm nervous that he made a deal with the devil and the deal with the devil was let me win one. That's what I'm nervous about. And I bet on him last week to finish top 10... I'm nervous cuz it feels like the timing is [predominant].

Saquon Barkley's 'kill mindset' quote will be used against him as soon as he has a bad game

My cool throne is the Giants fantasy people that are gonna draft Saquon Barkley. He said, it's kill mindset now. It's like, fuck everybody. I'm sure that won't be like a quote that gets turned around when it's like that quote and then him going like, 14 rushes for 60 yards.

Desmond Ridder 'is him' and is already NFL ready

My hot seat is Marcus Mariota... I watched the Jets Falcons game last night. I think Desmond Ridder is that guy. I think he is him... I think I'm ready to say based off watching him one time in the preseason that this is gonna be a guy that I will believe in for the next four years.

The Falcons do not have their quarterback of the future on their current roster

I think the Falcons don't have their quarterback of the future on the roster right now.

Geno Smith should be a first-half specialist and Drew Lock should be the closer

Geno Smith, I think plays pretty well based on recent experiences in like the first half. And then Drew Lock is good in garbage time. So I think they should put Geno Smith in, in the first half as the first half specialist. Drew Lock comes in as the closer.

Stephen A. Smith would win the Presidency if he ran

Stephen A. Smith said that he would run for president... I'll tell you this right now. Stephen A. Smith, you would win. Yes, you would win. Who would debate against Stephen A. Smith? He would literally go to Texas and mock the Cowboys and be like, I don't give a fuck about your votes and still win.

I could kick Dan Campbell's and Mike Vrabel's asses in a fight

[Do you think you could kick Dan Campbell's ass?] Yes. And Mike Vrabel also, I'd throw Mike Vrabel in there at the same time... I just can tell you, if you pull 10 wrestlers, they're gonna tell you, take the best wrestler over the best boxer. So it's debatable, but us wrestlers stick together.

Buffalo will never build an indoor stadium

[Do you think that Buffalo would ever get an indoor stadium or would you want a dome?] No. Ever. This is Buffalo, right? And this is what part of what makes us unique... We love it year round. It makes us who we are.

No quarterback who wears a visor has ever won a Super Bowl

The only concern I have about Josh Allen is every year, it seems like he put, he keeps the visor on later and later and no quarterback that's ever worn a visor has won a Super Bowl.

Chinese food is the unquestioned number one overall pick for leftovers

The first pick is the easiest pick in the entire history of Mount Rushmore, Chinese food. Number one, simple. It's so good. Just eat it cold, like some lo mein... beef and broccoli.

Cold pasta has no carbs or calories

Here's a, here's a little fun fact for everyone as a nutritionist, pasta cold pasta has no carbs. So that's just a fact for everyone out there. No carbs, no calories, cold pasta. You can, whenever you eat cold pasta, the next day you could just eat so much of it.

A half-drank blue Gatorade in the fridge is the perfect hangover leftover

Blue Gatorade in the fridge that you didn't finish next. Really good one. You wake up, you're thirsty as hell. You might be hungover and you see that partially [drunk]... sometimes that's the perfect amount of Gatorade to drink.
