Draft Day would be one of the worst movies ever if it didn't have real NFL logos

Draft Day would be maybe one of the worst movies of all time if it didn't have the rights to the exact NFL logos and team names. If they had to make up like a fake NFL league, that movie would suck. Turns out that it rocks because it's like, oh, I recognize the Browns logo.

The movie's popularity is highly tied to its authenticity as an NFL-branded product, supporting the claim.

Drafting a quarterback in the first round gives a fan base a one-year pass to ignore all negatives

Drafting a quarterback in the first round really does give you a new pep in your step lease on life where you're like, we have at least a year to just only look at the positive and ignore all the negatives. Even if he sucks for half of those games, you could still be like, well, you saw how good he was in that one game.

This is a recurring theme in Big Cat's philosophy regarding rookie quarterbacks and fan expectations.

I'm officially out on all Big 12 defensive players

Tyree Wilson to the Raiders, I just, I'm bust all Big 12 defensive players. If you're a defensive player [from the Big 12], I would not touch you in the first round.

Tyree Wilson had a very slow start to his career in 2023, though he hasn't been officially declared a bust yet. It is trending in Big Cat's favor.

The Ravens fleeced themselves by giving Lamar Jackson $185 million guaranteed

Lamar Jackson is still a Raven... he got 185 million guaranteed. That's a lot of money to guarantee to a running back. And I mean the Ravens kind of, they fleeced themselves on that one. Like who? Nobody in their right mind was gonna trade anything worth anything for that guy.

Hot TakeFootballFireSarcastic
Lamar Jackson won the NFL MVP in 2023, the first year of this deal, making the 'fleece' take look objectively incorrect.

The Rangers are pathetic for blowing a 2-0 lead to the Devils

The Rangers are pathetic. The Rangers are pathetic. They are like, that is a pathetic to be up two-oh with two games at home. And then they obviously lost in New Jersey tonight, but they're pathetic. Four nothing shutout.

The Rangers did indeed lose the series in 7 games after blowing that 2-0 lead.

The Bucks' season was a categorical failure

It's okay to say the Bucks season was a failure. Giannis isn't a failure. None of the players are a failure. Their season was a failure. They were the one seed they had the most wins in the regular season. They were odds on favorites and they got bounced in five games. Right. That's a failure.

By almost any objective sports standard, a 1-seed losing to an 8-seed in the first round is a failure.

Jimmy Butler is the number one player in the NBA

Jimmy Butler. Who is now, you know what, Jimmy's number one, he's my number one player in the NBA.

While Butler was elite in that run, Nikola Jokic won the Finals MVP and the title, generally cementing himself as the actual #1.

Aaron Rodgers taking a post-season loss is another failure for him as a Bucks owner

You know who a minority investor in the Bucks is? Aaron Rodgers. Another post-season loss failure for Aaron Rodgers.

The Bucks did lose, but attributing it to Rodgers is purely comedic/satirical.

The Celtics will sweep the Sixers

I'm ready for a sweep... Celtics in four or five. I think it's gonna be Celtics in four or five.

The Celtics won the series in 7 games, so they did not sweep and it did not end in five.

Bryce Young has the lowest ceiling among the top 2023 QB prospects

I think at the end of the day, if you're Carolina, you want a guy that's gonna play week one. And the guy that's most ready to play in week one is Bryce. Yeah. But he is also got the lowest ceiling because he's been coached by the best of the best at Alabama... you're seeing the peak of his game playing in the SEC where these other quarterbacks, you haven't seen [Anthony] Richardson reach his peak yet.

Bryce Young struggled significantly in his rookie year while Stroud (the #2 pick) excelled, lending some weight to the idea that Young's ceiling might be lower due to physical limitations.

Caleb Williams would be the first overall pick in the 2023 draft if he were eligible

Caleb Williams... He'd be the first pick in this year's draft if he could come out... there's not a clear cut. If he was in this draft it would be Caleb Williams and then everybody else. He's that good.

Caleb Williams was indeed the consensus #1 pick in the 2024 draft and was widely considered a better prospect than those in the 2023 class.

Age and gender do not matter in pickleball

I'm telling you, if you play pickleball, you know that age, gender doesn't matter. Everyone plays together. Age is not a thing in pickleball. If you're good, you're good, you can hang.

While physically diverse, at high levels, age and physical capability certainly matter in pickleball as they do in all sports.
