Recap
Big CatDuke is back to being the worst and perfectly hateable again
Duke is back to being the worst because goddammit, those guys are so hateable and they're right back to where they were. I was nervous... but just that scene choking on senior night against UNC. Those stupid fucking Cameron Crazies that pretend that they're the coolest, best fan base in the world... throwing shit at college players.
HankCollege basketball is better when Duke is the villain
College basketball is better when Duke is the villains. So I'm happy for the tournament. I'm excited. Shut everyone up.
Big CatJohn Calipari might have a job at Kentucky for life
I think actually Cal is getting ready to... we have it wrong with the hot seat. His team's playing so well and Kentucky's so exciting. He might get like, can you get a job for the afterlife too? Because he has a job for life.
Big CatThe 2021 QB draft class might be the worst of all time
We now have though the 2021 draft in record time might be the worst quarterback draft of all time. Trevor Lawrence number one, Zach Wilson two, Trey Lance three... Mac Jones 15. So there's five quarterbacks drafted in the first 15 picks in that 2021 draft, and four out of five of them just three years or in the fourth year will be on different teams.
Big CatMac Jones has worse vibes than Zach Wilson
I think Mac Jones might have the worst vibes... Mac Jones, like all reports are that he's just been a pouty little bitch. Zach Wilson was a backup quarterback and he should even been playing and he's like 'I'm gonna fucking try my hardest.' I don't know, I don't think it's even close.
PFT CommenterMike Tomlin and Russell Wilson will not get along in Pittsburgh
I'll say this, him and Mike Tomlin are not gonna get along. I just want to call that right now. I think they'll get along for a little bit... and then Mike Tomlin will be like 'this guy's annoying.'
Big CatCaleb Williams will be a great franchise quarterback for the Bears
Caleb Williams is gonna be really good. He's gonna be really fucking good in the NFL. He's gonna be really good for the Bears. I feel that in my bones... Everyone just chill out. Caleb Williams is getting drafted by the Bears and he's gonna be a franchise quarterback for the Bears.
Big CatAnthony Joshua knocking out Francis Ngannou was great for boxing
Anthony Joshua knocked the fuck out of Francis Ngannou and that feels good for boxing... I am a boxing purist in the fact that I want boxers to always beat people who show up... anyone who shows up into a boxing ring with no boxing training, I want them to lose every time.
Big CatMatthew Slater is the most 'Patriot' Patriot of all time
Matthew Slater... I feel like I'd never seen an interview from him. It was like this guy rocks. He probably knows everything. He was like the unassuming special teams guy... he's the most like Patriot Patriot of all time probably.
Interview
Rick PitinoReggie Bush should get his Heisman Trophy back
The Heisman people will do [it], give that Heisman trophy back to Reggie Bush... there's probably half of those guys that won the Heisman Trophy that got paid amounts of money. He's not the only Heisman Trophy winner that got some benefits for their families.
Rick PitinoAmerican youth basketball has lost the art of the bounce pass
I've been able to get my team to throw bounce passes... in a radius of six to eight feet, you are not allowed to throw chest passes... it has taken so long because they've grown up without throwing a bounce pass. I don't think it's taught at the AAU level.
Rick PitinoReed Sheppard is a top 8 NBA pick and reminds me of Rex Chapman
He's tremendous. He's a great shooter, great passer... He's got a big decision to make. He's probably a top eight pick in the draft. He's the closest thing to the Pat Riley days... the closest thing to a Rex Chapman for Kentucky.
Rick PitinoPurdue will win the National Championship this year
I think Purdue's gonna win it. I remember Tony Bennett lost to the 16 seed... following year won a championship. Purdue last year lost to FDU... I feel that it's their year. I think they're gonna win the national championship this year.
Rick PitinoI do not like the current state of free agency in college basketball
I'm not enjoying what goes on right now in college basketball... I may be looking at three guys returning next year and I gotta bring in 10. They all become free agents... it's just not something I like. I think Jay Wright got out of it because of that.
