Recap
Big CatRussell Wilson is no longer a top five NFL quarterback
It's just very bizarre to me that like Russell Wilson, he's not a top five quarterback right now. ... If you're talking about like the guys that are difference makers weekend and week out, he's not that. He hasn't been that for a little bit right now.
PFT CommenterI would rather have Taylor Heinicke on my team moving forward than Russell Wilson
I would rather have Taylor Heinicke on my team right now, moving forward than Russell Wilson, which it sounds insane to say, especially thinking back like four or five weeks ago when he looked so bad, but he's, he's legitimately fun to watch.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankJohn Wall to the New York Knicks would be 'fucking sick'
John Wall was injured. He's now healthy. He's trying to play. And the rockets are just saying, no. ... So John Wall to New York would, would be fucking sick.
Big CatThe Bears vs. Packers Sunday Night Football game in Week 14 will be 'fucking terrible'
They put out the schedule for week 14 and they're not flexing bears, Packers Sunday night football. So that's going to be fucking terrible. ... It's going to be so miserable.
Billy FootballRobots can now reproduce
Cool throne is robots. They lost their virginity. Not much more that we need to explain there. Robots can reproduce now. They just released it. There was a scientific research experiment. There was a scientific green robots that created. It's a thing.
Interview
Andy StaplesLincoln Riley and Brian Kelly moved because it's easier to win a national title at USC and LSU
I really do think both of these moves were about finding a place where it's easier to win the national title than where you're at. ... This is more about winning the playoff than getting in the playoff because you have two guys who could get in the playoff, but couldn't win it.
Andy StaplesWill Anderson is the best player in the country and should win the Heisman
If a player isn't the best player in his own county, he cannot possibly be the best player in the country. So Bryce Young, not the best player in Tuscaloosa county, that person's name is Will Anderson. Will Anderson has 30 and a half tackles for loss. He has saved the Alabama defense this season. He's the best player in the country. It's not close.
Andy StaplesOklahoma State will beat Baylor and make the college football playoff
I think Oklahoma State just has played so well. The last few weeks they've really hit their groove. So I think they're gonna win. And I think they're gonna make the playoff.
Mitch SchwartzThe New England Patriots are playing the best football in the NFL right now
The team right now that's playing probably the best football overall is New England. I don't think they're going to... I mean, the Chiefs have one of the easier schedules for the last five or six weeks... but yeah, New England definitely lives up to it.
Mitch SchwartzSean McVay does not adjust as well as other teams do in the second half of the season
There's some interesting stats on like McVay teams after week nine, just like completely taking a nosedive. I guess the prevailing theory is that like he's awesome in the off season and figuring out what to do for the upcoming season. ... And he doesn't adjust as much as teams adjust to him.
Mitch SchwartzYou must use a meat thermometer to cook a steak correctly
The biggest one for steak is just to use a thermometer. I think people think that like, oh, I'm a cool guy. I can like poke at my steak and I'll know when it's done. It's like, nah, just use a thermometer. Like you're not that good at cooking a steak, all the good places do that anyway.

Big CatNotre Dame winning a national title without Brian Kelly would be the greatest sports story ever
If you're a fan of just objectively funny things, you should be a fan of Notre Dame winning the national title this year because Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame being like 'I can't ever win a national title here. I got to go to LSU' and then watching his team and his coaching staff, winning national title without them would be one of the greatest sports stories of all time.
