Recap
Big CatThe Home Run Derby is officially dead
The Home Run Derby is officially dead. And here's why... the Home Run Derby has lost its luster. The Juice Ball Home Run Derby. The way the format was set, the Home Run Derby is dead because all it took was one horrific national anthem to steal the night.
PFT CommenterThe MLB should allow players suspended for steroids back early if they win the Home Run Derby
Our idea that we had last year was one of the best, which is if you test positive for steroids, you can get out of your suspension by winning the Home Run Derby.
Big CatTarik Skubal will win the AL Cy Young
Tarik Skubal is not starting [the All-Star Game]. And he is going to be the AL Cy Young as that guy sent me the envelope... per the guy who gave me the envelope that said bet him right now. He is the odds-on favorite right now.
PFT CommenterAlex Ovechkin being ranked 54th on ESPN's Top 100 Athletes list is disrespectful to hockey
That Ovy [Alex Ovechkin] is so far down. Like Hank said, it's disrespectful to hockey, it's disrespectful to the entire country of Russia. The man is about to surpass Wayne Gretzky for the top goal scorer of all time in the NHL.
PFT CommenterESPN will rank Serena Williams as the #1 athlete of the 21st century
I have a prediction. I think ESPN is going to put Serena [Williams] number one. Just to make people mad.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatLeBron James only brought Bronny into the NBA to bolster his GOAT case against Michael Jordan
Some people could argue that LeBron, when he realized that he wasn't going to win six titles and match MJ, he's like, 'what else can I try to get that will, they'll say in my GOAT conversation' and having Bronny—playing with Bronny—will be there. MJ's son never played in the league.
PFT CommenterStephen A. Smith officially won the Skip Bayless divorce
Stephen A. Smith has won the Skip Bayless-Stephen A. Smith divorce. It took a few years to get there... Skip is out at Fox Sports I believe at the end of the summer... he goes off, does his own podcast, gets 5 trillion views on it. Works for ESPN, seems to be having a good time.
Interview
Derek CarrTaysom Hill is a Hall of Fame football player
Taysom Hill is the best football player I've ever played with... that man is a Hall of Fame football player. He does everything. Throws, runs, catches, fullback, quarterback, tight end, receiver, slots, punts, blocks, punts, personal protector.
Big CatI bet Derek Carr would be a psychopath who makes up fake stories like Michael Jordan to motivate himself
I'm my caddy who was my best friend. He is like, 'you're a psychopath.' Because like, I'll make stories up... I see Jordan do that. He's like, I make stories up. Like yeah, they thought I couldn't do this... but those are two, that's a game and that's a play... and the whistle thing. You're like, I gotta get back there.
Shane BaconThe Open Championship is essentially a 'Snow Game' in football terms
The open is a snow game. There's just so much unpredictability involved in a snow game. Maybe you can throw the ball, maybe you gotta run it. You don't know if you can depend on your kicker at all. That's what I look at here.
Shane BaconAdam Scott will win the 2024 Open Championship
I'm going to Adam Scott. He played well last week... He's 44 years old finishing in the top 10. Hasn't finished in the top 10 in a major since 2019. But I feel like he's one of those guys... I feel like Adam is playing well.
