Recap
Big CatJason Garrett is the dumbest person alive for playing his starters in Week 17
Jason Garrett wins the Are You the Dumbest Person Alive Award for playing all his starters because he desperately – now, I don't know what you think, but I think it was clear that Jason Garrett wanted to win 10 games so that when Jerry Jones goes to his office next year and is like, hey, I'm thinking about firing you, he's like, but I won 10 games.
Big CatThe rest of the AFC North should be terrified of the Browns in 2019
By the way, if I'm in the AFC North next year, I'm terrified [of the] Browns. That's the big thing. I don't care who their coach is as long as his name isn't Hue [Jackson].
PFT CommenterMike McCarthy will be the next head coach of the Cleveland Browns
It's going to be Mike McCarthy. Yeah. He's interviewing them, I think, tomorrow. Oh, and he's got it. Yeah. It's just a formality.
Big CatI would rather play the Vikings than the Eagles in the playoffs
I actually went back and forth because, listen, I'm not on the team, so I can say this. I would rather play the Vikings than the Eagles. This is not bulletin board material. I think playing the Super Bowl champs, Nick Foles... versus playing Kirk Cousins who cannot beat anyone. Ever. Who has a winning record.
Big CatAdam Gase will get hired as a head coach almost immediately after being fired by the Dolphins
Dolphins, Adam Gase. I don't even consider this a firing because he's going to get hired almost immediately. And this is just a product of you had Ryan Tannehill as your quarterback.
PFT CommenterThe Steelers will trade Antonio Brown
I think he's going to get traded. I think the craziest part of the story was you've got to really fuck up to get benched, to be the best player on your team and get benched during a game or for a game that would get you into the playoffs.
Interview
Booger McFarlandJohn Gruden loves himself too much to build the Raiders into winners
I think what you're seeing now is that John loves John. It's about John. And, you know, you get rid of Khalil Mack, you get rid of Amari Cooper. Not sure why in the hell you do that because they're two really, really good players, cornerstones you build around... I don't think he can adapt to this player in this day and age right now... He's still about coming in at 3:17 in the morning, writing his own cue cards. He's got to change that. If he can't, he won't be successful.
Booger McFarlandRob Gronkowski is no longer the same player and will be available this offseason
This offseason, I'd bet your money and my money, Rob Gronkowski is probably going to be available this offseason. And people are going to say, man, Gronk's available. But if you watch Gronk play, Gronk isn't the same Gronk anymore. Like he can't run the way he used to.
Booger McFarlandI could beat some professional golfers on the senior tour
I could beat, not be one, I could beat one [professional golfer]... Trevino, all the old guys... At some point, the father time is on my side. I'm 41... An average round for me, if I go out and just play average, I'll shoot in mid-80s.
Booger McFarlandThe Chargers and Saints will meet in the Super Bowl
I'm going for a little bit of, let's go Chargers [versus] Saints. Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, all that. Revenge game against his old team. I like that.
Blueprint Busters
Big CatThe strategy of not paying quarterbacks is only true if the quarterback is Kirk Cousins or Matthew Stafford
So essentially the argument that people are tweeting out that you shouldn't pay a quarterback boils down to just don't pay Kirk Cousins or Matt Stafford. That works. That's it... Essentially the entire theory that you should just draft a young quarterback and never pay a quarterback makes no sense because half of the playoffs are quarterbacks that are going to be paid $20 million or more.
