Recap
Big CatLeBron James is triggered and definitely not enjoying his summer
LeBron James is triggered... When he hashtags 'enjoying my summer', hashtag 'you do the same', that's a pretty telltale sign he is not enjoying his summer. Because you know LeBron probably told someone to tell Stephen A. Smith, 'Hey, I want to beat Kyrie Irving's ass,' and then when it comes out, he goes to Twitter.
PFT CommenterLeBron James' next social media move will be posting lion quotes to look like an alpha
This is going to end in a couple weeks with LeBron posting like an image of a lion that says 'lions don't concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.' His next post will be him in the gym just being like 'out here grinding, not worrying about Kyrie Irving.'
Big CatPaxton Lynch will excel in Mike McCoy's offensive system
I have the new offensive system guy. I saw this with Paxton Lynch. Mike McCoy is in Denver now. So Paxton Lynch, he's really going to excel because Mike McCoy will let him play out of the shotgun.
PFT CommenterRyan Tannehill will not be in the MVP conversation
Is this the year that Ryan Tannehill gets to the next level? He's not going to be in the MVP talk. I guarantee you that.
Big CatThe Tennessee Titans are the 'Dark Horse' team that isn't actually a dark horse
I also have the dark horse team that's not a dark horse team because everyone says it's their dark horse team. The Tennessee Titans. It's the team that just missed the playoffs and has a ton of young talent.
PFT CommenterMalik Jackson claims the Jaguars will win the Super Bowl this year
Malik Jackson, Super Bowl champion Malik Jackson... two-time Super Bowl champion because he said earlier this week that he's going to win the Super Bowl this year with the Jaguars.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterMike Vick's dog training experience will help him as an NFL coaching intern
There are actually probably some lessons from [Mike Vick's] dog training days that he could directly apply to training athletes. He's going to keep his young quarterbacks on a short leash until they're trustworthy.
Big CatDerrick Rose signing with the Cavs is sad and marks the end of his relevancy
Derrick Rose just signed with the Cavs... He's going to be LeBron's little sidekick. Is he going to be Robin? It's very sad how his career has turned out. $2.1 million to play with a guy that he absolutely despised when he was in Chicago.
Big CatGolf is in good hands with Jordan Spieth as the new face of the sport
Golf is officially on the cool throne because Jordan Spieth, he is now the new face of golf. I don't know if you guys have seen, but golf is in good hands now. We're out of the woods with the post-Tiger Woods era. Jordan Spieth's the guy.
Interview
Dan HarenDavid Ross is the face of baseball because of Dancing with the Stars
One guy that his retirement went so opposite of mine that it kind of annoys me now is David Ross... He was the face of baseball when it was the Dancing with the Stars. Buster Olney or Ken Rosenthal were saying he's the face of baseball because he's what most people would recognize.
Dan HarenPitching inside is the safest way to attack Aaron Judge
With those guys, like the big guys like [Aaron Judge], I think keeping the ball inside is safer because if you throw it out over the middle, there's the chance to hit it right back up the middle right at you. So keeping it inside and hope they put it on the ground.
Dan HarenClayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer are the best pitchers in baseball
Him [Kershaw] and Scherzer are the best ones. [Kershaw] is the best pitcher in baseball. I'm worried about his back, though. This is the third year in a row he's gone on the DL for his back.
Dan HarenOnce a pitcher hurts their back, they are screwed long-term
It's unfortunate. Once you hurt your back, you're screwed. Trust me. [Kershaw] tried to change his workout... and I don't think it helped.
Dan HarenYu Darvish is the best trade target available among top pitchers
I would take Darvish. I like Darvish. He's got great stuff. I know the Dodgers and Cubs are looking at both those guys, but I mean, they're all really good, but I'm a big fan of Yu Darvish. I like his stuff. I know Verlander's got more... control, but I'm a big Darvish guy.
Protect The Shield
PFT CommenterWatching football is more dangerous than playing football because of binge drinking
I would even submit that watching football is more dangerous than playing football because when you're watching football, you're binge drinking. You're around buddies. You're more likely to get into a fight. You're more likely to puke, pee on yourself. You get all sorts of diseases from that.
Pr 101
Big CatLucky Whitehead will sign with the Patriots and win a Super Bowl
It's very clear that Lucky Whitehead's probably going to sign with the Patriots and win a Super Bowl ring. And we're all just going to be like, 'What the fuck?' I hope that happens.
