Recap
Big CatMitch Trubisky will rehab his image in Buffalo and get another starting opportunity next year
If [Mitch Trubisky] spends a year as Josh Allen's backup, I think that the negative media around Mitch will dissipate. And then next year, he will be a name where it's kind of the Jameis Winston. It's like, oh, well, let's give him a try. He was a top pick.
PFT CommenterThe NFC East is going to be dangerous this year
The entire NFC East is getting dangerous. The Beast, baby... We're Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. You guys all laughed at us last year. Now we're about to just flip out and shoot everybody.
Picks
PFT CommenterTom Izzo will choke away the play-in game against Mick Cronin and UCLA
Izzo choked it away... This is the game where Izzo chokes it away at the end. He mismanages something. He might even get ejected in the second half. And our guy Mick Cronin demolishes him.
Big CatMy Final Four picks: Gonzaga, UConn, Illinois, and Arkansas
I have Gonzaga, UConn, Huskies are back, Illinois. And Arkansas. That's my Final Four.
Interview
Stanford SteveFill out a bracket when it comes out, then bet against it once the games start
As soon as the bracket comes out, you have to fill out a bracket and stash it away until right before the games are out... You just fill out a bracket without everybody saying right at that point. And then you put it away till Thursday and then you bet against it. It really works out a lot of the time.
Stanford SteveThe Syracuse zone will be a nightmare for opponents due to the lack of non-conference play
Syracuse is a team, especially in a year like this, where nobody really played out of conference games, that zone can be an [motherfucker] to you... I think they have athleticism... Them and matching up with West Virginia in the second round is a really, really interesting game.
Stanford SteveBaylor will beat Gonzaga for the National Championship
I have Baylor beating Gonzaga [in the final]. I actually had a bet on Baylor. I think they were getting four against Gonzaga... I think when you watch Baylor, they just have it all to me... They could guard every position. I love their guards.
Blake GriffinI considered Boston, Golden State, and Portland before signing with the Nets
I will tell you some of the teams... I really liked Boston. I really liked Golden State. I really liked Portland. There was a few other teams... but I had a tough decision. But ultimately, I had to do what was best for me and I think my ability to get a dunk.
Fyre Fest
Big CatDrew Brees will not be a good broadcaster
I got a hot take. I don't think Drew Brees is going to be that good in the booth... There's going to be a wave of people being like, and as much shit as we give Tony Romo, he's objectively good... I don't think Drew Brees has a personality. I would sell all my stock on Drew Brees being good in the booth.
