Recap
Big CatBaker Mayfield will be a successful quarterback for the Cleveland Browns
I actually think this [Baker Mayfield] is going to work, and I know that's like stepping out on a very, very thin branch saying a Browns quarterback that they drafted really high might actually work, but I like Baker Mayfield. I like him a lot. I think that he is a very, very good quarterback and I like the competitiveness.
PFT CommenterJosh Allen is a perfect fit for the Buffalo Bills because he has big hands for the cold weather
I think that's a great fit for Bills Mafia. I think it's a great fit for, you know, people forget it's cold. Cold, windy, snowy up there. Big hands. Josh Allen checks off all those boxes. Fucking awesome.
Big CatJosh Rosen is the best passer in the 2018 NFL Draft class
Josh Rosen, I like Josh Rosen. I had him ranked number one on the Big Cat Big Board because I think he's the best passer.
Big CatJon Gruden is drafting like he is officially drunk
John Gruden is officially drunk. John Gruden traded the 10th pick for the 15th pick. So he moved back five spots in the draft and only picked up a third and a fifth... and then he picked a guy [Kolton Miller] who everyone said would be like a third or fourth rounder.

Sabermetrics
PFT Commenter'I had diarrhea' and 'Our country's national debt' are the two best excuses of all time
Listen, as far as I'm concerned, the two best excuses of all time are, I had diarrhea. Nobody asks you any more details. ... and, hey, do you know how much money we owe to China? What the fuck does it matter?

Big CatKanye West is only supporting Donald Trump to sell records
I'm assuming, I think we can all agree that it is all just to sell records, or see, they're not records anymore. ... Way to date yourself. ... But if it's not that, and instead to sell a new energy drink called Dragon Energy, I'm all the way in.
