Recap
PFT CommenterJosh Harris will officially be the new owner of the Commanders
It was announced today. It's Josh Harris. He's gonna take over the team... He's already an owner, kind of, of an NFL team. He's a part owner of the Steelers. They're gonna vote him in. It's, this is a done deal and it's gonna happen and everything's gonna be good.
Big CatDiar DeRozan single-handedly won the play-in game for the Bulls against the Raptors
Diar DeRozan stole the story of the play-in game on Wednesday night. She single-handedly stopped the Toronto Raptors... She was screaming so loud before every free throw that the Raptors took in a dead silent arena. The Raptors went 18 for 36 from the free throw line. Ended up losing the game by what four? It was she won that game for the Bulls.
PFT CommenterDiar DeRozan is the #1 overall NBA daughter
She's great. She's way better than Riley Curry. Yes. Before ranking NBA daughters, I got her one A in my daughter draft. I think that she was, she was great.
PFT CommenterZach Wilson is the 'real winner' of the Jets failing to acquire Aaron Rodgers quickly
You know who's the real winner right now? Zach Wilson... I think for Zach Wilson, the best case scenario is that you don't have to play. More tape is bad tape. Just be a Zach Wilson... This is actually the nightmare scenario for Zach Wilson. Because he could back up Aaron Rodgers for a year. They win a Super Bowl hypothetically, and then he's now like, had a year to study behind Aaron and people are like, wow, Zach Wilson might be good.
Big CatJim Nantz's defense of Tony Romo suggests there is actually friction between them
I read the quote to you and you tell me if you think there was any smoke to the fire that everyone was talking about... Me think it's the lady doth protest too much... That's like, I'm not mad. Don't say that. I was mad. Please don't write in the newspaper that I was mad.
Interview
Dan HurleyUConn 'bleeds blue' and is creating its own category beyond traditional Blue Bloods
His thing is like, no, forget the blue blood. You know, we're a program that bleeds blue. Max the bleed blue. So like we're gonna create our own because we've got the five national championships and NBA players for days in the last 20 years. Most of anyone... We don't even wanna be a blue blood. We're our own kind of deal.
Dan HurleyI aspire to coach in the NBA someday
No, I'm not, I, I've still got some, I got some developing to do on the sideline. There's no one coaching like me in the NBA. They're not ready... I do believe, I mean, that is something I aspire to, you know, down the road. You know, I love college. I, I hope I could, you know, continue to put UConn in this position moving forward.
Kirk GoldsberryThe Lakers are the scariest team to ever come out of the play-in tournament
But the Lakers to me are the scariest team to ever come out of the play tournament. Does that mean they're gonna [make] the finals? Of course not, but geez Yeah. LeBron James Anthony Davis. That's a pretty scary seven seed, don't you think?
Kirk GoldsberryThe 76ers have the most 'legacy at stake' this postseason
Until we see it, you know, it's fair to hang that on [James Harden] a little bit and if there's one player and one team who has sort of a legacy at stake, this postseason... it's the Philadelphia 76ers. And the other one I would say is Doc Rivers is part of that. It's not just James. Doc Rivers hasn't been a great playoff coach in the last five, 10 years either.
Kirk GoldsberryThe Cleveland Cavaliers will win an NBA title in the 2020s
I also love this Cleveland Cavalier team... I'm really eager to see how they do, I don't think they're at the status of Milwaukee or Boston yet guys, but that team I'm buying stock on them winning a title in the 2020s. And they could, they could surprise this year.
Kirk GoldsberryThe Suns will come out of the Western Conference
The west is drunk. Nobody has any idea what to happen... look, I use regular season numbers to try to predict, but the suns weren't, the suns... until very late in the season. They're two of the betting favorites now to come outta the west... I will predict that the suns are gonna come outta the west. It hinges on Kevin Durant's Health.
Kirk GoldsberryThe Bucks will beat the Suns in the NBA Finals
First finals prediction is a 2021 rematch bucks suns... I think if either of those guys has to miss games, which is reasonable to expect, unfortunately that suns prediction would fall apart pretty fast... So my first son's, my first is sun's bucks and I take the bucks and that matchup.
Kirk GoldsberryThe 76ers will beat the Nuggets in the NBA Finals
And without a doubt, I think this year's finals is gonna be a battle of these MVP Big Men. It's gonna be the 76ers against the nuggets. Wow. Embiid, Jokic, centers are back... and I'm taking Joel Embiid and the Sixers to win their first title since 1983. So Wow. Ending a 40 year drought. You can just book it.
Fyre Fest
HankThe Bruins are the greatest regular season hockey team ever and will dominate the playoffs
I'm all out on this team. This team is different. They're the greatest hockey team I've ever watched in the regular season. They're the greatest regular season team of all time. They're gonna dominate, they're gonna run through these playoffs.
Big CatI will join the 1,000 pound club naturally within a year
Challenge myself and I'm gonna get hurt. And that's gonna suck... I'm gonna try to do a thousand pound club, Billy... It's deadlift, squat, bench. A thousand pounds... I'm doing it all natural. No, I'm doing it. It's either all natural or can't do.
Billy FootballNo one should be judged for their actions when their heart rate is over 150 BPM
No one should be, no one should be judged for their actions when their heart rate's over 150 beats per minute. I agree with that. That that's what I believe.
