Recap
Big CatVirginia's national title run is one of the coolest stories in sports history
UVA now becomes one of the coolest stories in all of sports going from the loss to UMBC last year as a one seed to a 16 seed never happened before to then get all the way back and go to the national title and win the national championship. It's all like one story. And it all kind of erases. I feel like if they don't have that low, they don't get to this high.
PFT CommenterThe best sports teams are usually the luckiest ones
To me, it seems like the best teams are always the ones that get the luckiest. You can make the case like, oh, Tom Brady shouldn't have as many Super Bowls because the interception bailed him out at the end of the Seattle game... But it turns out that if you have luck that adds up a lot, you're probably just good.
Big CatInstant replay should have a shot clock to keep the game moving
We should just have a shot clock on the replays because that would be thrilling. If the ref only has a certain amount of time... if they can't find the replay fast enough, guess what? Tough shit.
HankJimmy Kimmel is no longer a 'guy's guy' because he thinks 'One Shining Moment' is bad
That's when Jimmy stopped being a guy's guy. [When he said] that one shining moment lived out its one shining moment 15 years ago... that it's not cool anymore.
Emergency Update
Big CatMagic Johnson resigned because he wants to spend more time tampering
Magic Johnson... announces that he is stepping down as president of basketball operations from the Lakers... We all thought when he did it, we're like, oh, he is upset because he can't tamper as president. And so he wants to retire to spend more time with his tampering.
Big CatLeBron James will eventually fire everyone in the Lakers organization, including Jeannie Buss
I think LeBron is going to fire everyone if they don't get another star. He'll go all the way up the ladder. He'll probably tell Jeannie Buss she's fired.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankLeBron is struggling to find co-stars for Space Jam 2 because players don't want to deal with him
He's having a very hard time recruiting co-stars to join the movie... Giannis denied him said he doesn't he doesn't like being Hollywood... they're worried about if they go to the movie then they're gonna have to potentially play with him on his team.
PFT CommenterPatrick Reed's Masters menu is what a 14-year-old thinks an adult dinner looks like
This menu really is like what a 14 year old would think an adult's menu looks like. He basically was forced to be like well I like steak and and I don't really like anything else I like macaroni and cheese I'm surprised chicken fingers weren't on here.
Interview
Chris LongTony Bennett has revolutionized Virginia's style of play using Wisconsin's influence
I mean, Dick Bennett, you know. Indirectly a little bit. I mean, you guys, you know, kind of revolutionized our style of play, right?
Chris LongBeing a sports fan is way harder than being a professional player
It's totally different as a fan. It's almost more nerve-wracking. You just feel so hopeless... As a fan, I am just, man, I, uh, I'm, I'm a basket case... being a fan is way harder than being a player.
Blake BortlesI chose the Rams over meetings with Denver and Baltimore
The Rams was the first one. And after kind of spending the day there, I knew that was where I wanted to be, so I kind of just shut it down and got it done... I had a meeting with Denver and then Baltimore were the next two.
Kings Stay Kings
Big CatSkip Bayless won by getting the Virginia Cavaliers to talk about him after the title game
Anytime a championship team talks about an analyst, a troll analyst, they won. Mission accomplished. No matter who it is, no matter what it is that's giving Stephen A. Smith attention, Stephen A. is basking in it.
Trouble In Paradise
Big CatAaron Rodgers isn't a malicious teammate, just passive-aggressive
I don't think that Aaron Rodgers is as bad as the article might have made him out to be. I don't think he is a maliciously bad teammate. I think he is very passive-aggressive and will cut someone off probably pretty quickly.
Petty Wars
PFT CommenterAntonio Brown is actually nuts and the Steelers will benefit by moving on
The bottom line is both Aaron Rodgers and Antonio Brown are a couple of messy bitches who love drama... It's come out that [AB] is basically like... yeah, he is insane... I could see an addition by subtraction.
