Recap
PFT CommenterThe Giants are probably better without Odell Beckham Jr.
Should we just embrace debate right now? Are the Giants better without Odell Beckham? Hmm. Probably.
Big CatThe NFL is much worse without Aaron Rodgers
I do think the NFL is much worse without [Rodgers] because we already have a league with very few good quarterbacks, and Aaron Rodgers is probably the best one in the NFL.
Big CatJoe Maddon is not a great in-game manager
I don't think he's that great in-game. I think he's pretty good at rallying a team and getting a team together and getting the most out of a young team, but I would say in-game he leaves a little to desire.
Big CatThe Dodgers will fold if the Cubs push them because California teams are soft
As long as [the Cubs] win two games at Wrigley... I still think the Dodgers, if you push them a little, they'll start to fold. They're a little soft. [Because they're from California?]. That would be correct.
Big CatHugh Jackson will lose the power struggle with the Browns front office
When you know the front office and the coach are on the outs with each other... only one can survive... I think Hugh's going to lose that power struggle.
Football Guy Of The Week
Big CatPlayers are statistically less likely to get a concussion without a helmet
I think you're actually statistically less likely to get a concussion when you're not wearing a helmet. Agree, because you protect your head more. That's basically that's a basic fact of human reaction to things.
Interview
Dana WhiteJon Jones is the greatest MMA fighter of all time
I think [Jon Jones] is the greatest of all time. I think if he had done everything the way he should have, he'd be a huge superstar. He might even be the heavyweight champion of the world.
Dana WhiteRonda Rousey is underrated for what she built in women's MMA
Underrated. Look at what she did. Look at what she built. She started it all... That whole combination of what she was is what built the women's mixed martial arts world. It's like a chicken and the egg phenomenon.
Dana WhiteIf Johnny Hendricks loses at UFC 217, he should retire
I think [Hendricks] would have to start looking at retirement. [if he loses].
Picks
Big CatInstant replay should be abolished in sports
I think we should actually get rid of instant replay. All together, just give it all the power back to the refs and the umps... I feel like I watch instant replays more than I watch sports now.
