Fyre Fest
Big CatI'm officially 'washed' after struggling in the home run derby
Tuesday night we hit dingers... but I think I'm officially, officially washed because... I was halfway through the whole competition and I looked at the leaderboard and it was like me, Titus, Chief, Brandon... every guy who's 37 plus. I was maxing out everything I had and it wasn't that good.
Intro
Basketball Rankings
MatthewKyrie Irving is the best ball handler in the world
Number eight, a guy who arguably maybe shouldn't be on this list... but he's probably the best ball handler in the world. Magical. Some say Kyrie Irving.
MatthewVictor Wembanyama will be the best player in the world by the time he is 25
By the time this man can rent a vehicle, he will be the best player in the world. [At age 25]. So we got like four years. I mean, to me the sky is nothing but a limit.
MatthewA'ja Wilson is as much better than the second best WNBA player as Patrick Mahomes is compared to other QBs in the playoffs
The gap [between A'ja Wilson and the second best woman] is as long as, as strong as, as big as Patrick Mahomes to the second best quarterback in football during the playoffs. Specifically the playoffs.
Interview
Mike VrabelI would not lose to Luke Fickell in a street fight
I do not believe if it was a street fight that I would lose to [Luke Fickell]. [Even though he's an elite wrestler], that is not a sanctioned wrestling event... I'm intimidating.
Mike VrabelBill Belichick's football knowledge is great for media and TV
I think there's just so much knowledge there and the way that he can articulate it and he explains it... that's kind of what we got in a team meeting was this overall history of football, understanding of who we're playing, how we have to win.
Gary ViderMost people are full of shit and lie to make themselves seem more interesting
I think everybody's lying to you... just think that everybody's full of shit. And most people are. I mean, you a lot of times you go and you start talking to people. If they're at a party, people start bragging about they're already lying because you're trying to be entertaining.
Mike VrabelNFL touchbacks will increase as the season goes on under the new kickoff rule
I think you'll probably see, I think as the season goes on, probably more touchbacks. I think that we'll see, you know, what's the difference? I know that analytically somebody's gonna... tell me the difference between the 25 and the 30 [yard line].
Sports Recap
Big CatMike Florio and Colin Cowherd look like morons because Caleb Williams officially signed with the Bears
All who said that there was 0% chance that Caleb Williams was going to sign with the Bears. That he was gonna force a trade. That he was gonna demand ownership. Florio said he was gonna play another season at USC. You all look like morons. Caleb Williams is officially signed as a Bear.
PFT CommenterJayden Daniels could be the next C.J. Stroud while Caleb Williams is the next Bryce Young
Booger McFarland... said today on Get Up, don't be surprised when Jayden Daniels is the guy that they're talking about next year as being like a C.J. Stroud. And Caleb Williams is the one being talked about like he's a Bryce Young. So I'm, I go with Booger.
