Recap
Big CatThe AAF died exactly like the XFL did
This is what we warned you about. This is exactly what happened with the XFL. It just died. And we all got excited. And then it died.
PFT CommenterTom Dundon only bought the AAF for its gambling technology
Albert Breer said that the speculation was that Dundon bought the league just to get access to their gambling app that they were building. So $70 million for a gambling app seems like a shrewd investment.
Big CatJohn Calipari's lifetime contract actually proves he was on the hot seat
This also, I think, proves that we were right all along by saying Cal's on the hot seat because you don't give a lifetime deal if a guy's not on a hot seat. You know what I mean? You just let it ride out because you're like, it's fine... To do this drastic deal for life, that feels like they're trying to get in front of the hot seat that probably was very, very hot.
PFT CommenterJohn Calipari will be the UCLA or an NBA coach in three years
They signed him to a lifetime contract. That's just from Kentucky's standpoint. Right. Like Cal's going to be the UCLA coach in like three years. He's going to the NBA. He's still going to chase that dragon.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterTom Izzo is overrated until he wins a second title
Tom Izzo himself is on board the Tom Izzo is overrated bandwagon. He said that he needs another title to validate his time there as a head coach. Okay, so I'm going to consider that a win for myself. And if he wins this year, then guess what? I'm taking him off my overrated list.
PFT CommenterLeBron James drinks enough wine to equal 70 cigarettes a week
LeBron James because a study just came out that a weekly bottle of wine is as bad as smoking 10 cigarettes. And for LeBron, that's like 70 cigarettes because he drinks a bottle every night.
Big CatGar Foreman and John Paxson are the idiots in the room now that Ernie Grunfeld is fired
Gar Foreman and John Paxson because now they are the idiots in the room. So it's like you never want to be the last to leave a party. They are the dum-dums. And you could always say, well, it's not Ernie Grunfeld. Well, guess what? Now Ernie Grunfeld's gone, so you are on the hot seat.
Interview
Christian LaettnerUpperclassmen leadership is the difference in the NCAA tournament
Sometimes you run across a Michigan State team that's as physical and have maybe a little more junior and senior leadership than we had. And that makes a huge difference in the tournament if you have some upperclassmen that give you some experience.
Christian LaettnerThe one-and-done era has watered down both college and NBA basketball
And it's watered down the game a little bit. And then everyone leaving early for the NBA, I think, waters down the NBA a little bit. But it's hard to stop kids from pursuing their dream.
Christian LaettnerThe 'I Hate Christian Laettner' title was a smart marketing move
The title bothered me until I called my mother... She says, well, they don't want only the Duke lovers and the Laettner lovers to watch this show. They want everyone across the board to watch it... Carolina fans, Kentucky fans... Everyone's going to want to watch it and see what's up.
Christian LaettnerMagic Johnson and Larry Bird were the first guards to have guard skills at 6'9"
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were the first guys I ever saw six nine six ten bringing the ball up having guard skills so to be on a team with them was just awesome.
Christian LaettnerThere is no such thing as a clutch gene
Is the clutch gene real? No, not real at all.
Roast
PFT CommenterThe New York Giants draft hat looks like it has a barbed wire tattoo
The Giants one looks like it's got a barbed wire tattoo around the entire hat, which is very appropriate for the fan base.
Lebron Blames
Big CatLeBron James has smelly breath and halitosis
LeBron James has smelly breath, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Not just because of the wine, but because LeBron definitely is surrounded by yes men, and he probably just does his halitosis breath in everyone's face. You think Maverick Carter's going to be like, hey, Bron, how about a fucking piece of Trident?
Guys On Chicks
PFT CommenterHaving sex doggy style makes you more likely to have twins
If you have sex doggy style, you're more likely to have twins. That's a fact. If she's on top, you're more likely to have a girl. If a guy's on top, you're more likely to have a dude because you're dominant.
