Recap
Big CatIllinois is the number one team in college basketball
Illinois is officially the number one team in the country according to my power rankings. What a night in college basketball. They absolutely kicked the shit out of Michigan... I want everyone to understand that the rankings are not predictive. They're reactive. So I reacted to the last week.
PFT CommenterTeams should drop in the rankings if they go to overtime
The Baylor game, we can get to that in a little bit. But if you go to overtime, I feel like you should drop in the rankings. That should be reflected on the back end.
PFT CommenterMissing the tournament is better for Duke than losing in the first round
I actually agree with that. I think that not making the tournament is actually way better for Duke than making the tournament and getting skunked in the first round. Just getting, like, blown out.
Big CatJJ Watt signed with the Cardinals because they offered the most guaranteed money
J.J. Watt is signing with the Cardinals. I just assume it's the most money... it's the most guaranteed money. I know Kyler Murray and all this stuff. I think it's the most guaranteed money and he probably just didn't want to play in the cold.
Big CatThe Cardinals won't be good because Kliff Kingsbury is still their coach
I just, yeah, I, their defense might be better. They still have Kliff Kingsbury as their coach so I don't believe in them.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterTed Lasso could coach the Jets to a 10-6 record
You can't convince me that Ted Lasso couldn't take the Jets to 10-6.
Big CatThe NFL will eventually expand to an 18-game schedule
My hot seat is the 16-game schedule for the NFL because it looks like we're going to 17. And my cool throw will be the 18-game schedule because as soon as we go to 17, we're going to go to 18. It's the greatest, like, sleight of hand that the NFL is doing here.
Interview
Brett FavreI can still throw the ball 40 yards but would regret being hit
In a real life football game, you don't throw it 80 yards. You throw it, you know, two, three yards, five, 10, 15, maybe an occasional 40. But I can do that. I just – they can't promise me they're not going to hit me... I'm 51 years old... so going back to play, I could do it. But I think the repercussions would be – I would regret it certainly.
Brett FavreNFL players shouldn't be able to demand trades over personnel decisions
But I don't think a player should be able to demand who they want interviewed or what players they want to pick up or let go. I mean, that crosses the line... I just don't think that it's right for a player to be upset and demand a trade because they didn't interview someone he wanted to interview.
Brett FavreThere's an outside chance Russell Wilson gets traded to the Bears
As we speak, I think there's an outside chance that Russell Wilson could go there [Chicago]. That would be a huge pickup... That would change the dynamics big time.
