Takies
Big CatI guarantee the Takie Awards will be a live show next year
Next year, it's going to be a live show. I'm actually guaranteeing that right now. I want to do it at Guy Fieri's restaurant, like in the back room.
PFT CommenterGuy Fieri's food is the best food I've ever had
I'm a big Guy Fieri guy, so I feel like I can say this. The food was phenomenal. Best food I've ever had.
PFT CommenterMedia members and sports figures should physically fight to settle disputes
I think the media and sports figures should actually physically fight. That feels like something that would happen in maybe Argentina where a ref screws up and they're like, 'oh, we're going to kill you.' I'd like to see more accountability.
PFT CommenterHockey helmets have increased concussions because they evolved the human skull to be thinner
I actually think that helmets have done more to increase concussions in hockey than they've done to help because it's like evolution. It kicks in a little bit and your brain, your skull doesn't have to be as thick anymore. Like the way that we coddle these athletes, it's actually hurting them in the long term.
PFT CommenterAdam Morrison has an apocalypse bunker with guns and food in Spokane
Adam Morrison is like an apocalypse-like guy who has – does he have like gold and cash and he's got a bunker? He's definitely fully equipped. He's got food, everything, if anything went down. He thinks something's going down with politics.
Big CatStephen A. Smith would have successfully prosecuted O.J. Simpson
I actually don't disagree with Stephen A. Smith here... Because I actually do think he would have been able to put O.J. Simpson in jail. He is so exhausting as an arguer, as a person, that I think that the jury would have just said, 'you know what, just have Stephen A. Smith stop talking and we'll put [Simpson] in jail.'
HankThe 'Car Stick' is a necessary invention for everyone who drops items between car seats
Simple, simple invention. Everyone needs it. Just a little skinny stick that you can, like, it, like, would go stick up from the side of your car. And when shit gets stuck in between your seats, just grab the stick and it fishes it right out of there.

HankBill Russell is better than LeBron James
Hank you actually had speaking of hot takes hank didn't you say bill russell was better than lebron? yeah that's right... I'm not ruling [Russell beating LeBron one-on-one] out by any means.
Big CatUConn women's basketball could beat a WNBA team
Could UConn women's basketball beat a WNBA team? Probably. I'm actually serious. I think they could.
HankLacrosse will be the fourth major sport in America in 30 years
Should lacrosse take over soccer as the fourth major sport? I think it's got to be us. I think we've got to take it upon ourselves... 30 years.
