Recap
Big CatHard Knocks is the official start of football season
Hard Knocks is officially the start of football season. It's also great because they're doing the Bucs this year, and I honestly forget that the Bucs are a team a lot of the times.
PFT CommenterDirk Koetter is an inherently unmemorable person
Dirk is the guy, you could put me in a chair clockwork orange style and just tape my eyelids open for a day and show me nonstop clips of Dirk Koetter, and I would not remember what he looked like the next day.
PFT CommenterThe NFL is better when kickers are erratic and unpredictable
We want to see Roberto Aguayo stick around because the NFL is always a better place. When there's a kicker that whenever he lines up, you don't know which way the ball is going to go. Like it might hit the ref in the head and knock him unconscious.
Big CatWatching Hard Knocks will lead to drafting a bust running back in your fantasy league
It is also the time of year where you watch Hard Knocks and you fall in love with a guy who's catching everything or the backup running back, and then you draft him in your fantasy league, and he sucks. It's called the Chris Polk.
Interview
Johnny ManzielI would like to pursue coaching if my playing career ends
I'd want to be involved in sports in some way, whether it's coaching, whether it's doing something like that. So I think that'd be my route.
Dallas BradenBryce Harper is currently the face of baseball
The face right now you would like to think would be, in my opinion, it's Bryce Harper. Unfortunately, there's not one that you can latch on to... Mike Trout is the football fan face of baseball.
Dallas BradenThe Home Run Derby can mechanically ruin a hitter's swing
I believe there are some things to it mechanically as well. Guys get into a groove mechanically and are able to repeat and put on this certain launch angle, and then shit changes when you get back into the ballgame and you're facing change-ups with depth. You're facing sliders that are bouncing.
Dallas BradenThe Dodgers will represent the National League in the 2017 World Series
Right now, I think you have to like the Dodgers and what they're doing. I feel like the Nationals could compete, but we're talking about the ultimate dance here, so I'm going to take the Dodgers from the National League.
Dallas Braden19% of current MLB players use steroids
I'm going to say... 19% [of MLB players use steroids]. They have a drug testing problem and they have a penalization problem. Chemists are starting to get one step ahead and start maintaining that one step ahead of the drug testing.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterAlabama football would be terrible if it had higher SAT requirements
Josh Rosen... said that if you raise the SAT score requirement to get into Alabama, they'd have a shitty football team. So he's calling the entire state of Alabama dumb, basically... why would anybody want to go to school in Alabama if they had to be smart to go there?
Mount Rushmore
Big CatThe Detroit Pistons 90s horse logo jersey is one of the worst ever
My number one was the Pistons throwback. Remember when the Pistons changed their logo in the 90s? The green and yellow and red horse. The worst jersey criteria is when the original jersey was great and the original logo was great. They're like, we're just going to make everything weird colors.
PFT CommenterThe New England Patriots current jerseys are awful
I'm going to go with the Patriots jersey... No offense, Hank, but I think the Patriots, for being such a great team, have had awful jerseys for the last 20 years.
Guys On Chicks
Big CatThe moon controls both the oceans and human periods
The moon controls all the earth's oceans and periods so it's just kind of it just controls all the liquids in everyone's bodies that's why sometimes when guys look at the moon they start coming. It's just gravity pulling it out of her balls.
