Embrace Debate
Big CatShaq was the 'Robin' and Kobe was the 'Batman' during their championship runs together
Shaq needed Kobe more than Kobe needed Shaq... Shaq needed the wing scorers to be Shaq. He needed Dwyane Wade to be unbelievable Dwyane Wade. Shaq was Superman, and Kobe was Batman. [But] Batman isn't a superhero... he's just a rich guy with a bunch of gadgets.
Big CatThe 2012-13 Lakers with Steve Nash and Dwight Howard was the most stacked team of all time on paper
That team, though, the Steve Nash, Dwight Howard team, that's my favorite Lakers team of all time... When that cover came out, it was like, who the fuck would beat the Lakers? ... When that happened, I was like, oh, my God. This is the most stacked team of all time.

HankRemoving Alex Guerrero from the Patriots is a good thing because it lights a fire under Tom Brady
It's not a friction. It's actually a good thing. It means Belichick's lighting a fire under Brady's ass because friction causes fire. So Belichick knows he's got to push Brady's buttons if he wants him to keep playing at this level at such an old age.
Interview
Arian FosterI will highly suggest my kids do not play football because it is an extremely dangerous sport
Not a chance. No, no, no way, man... I'm just going to highly suggest that they don't... There's no point for you to do so... This is a, it's an extremely dangerous sport... I took all those hits. I sacrificed. I may develop CTE in my life. There's no telling.
Arian FosterFootball will be in danger of disappearing in 50 to 60 years due to safety and science
I would say like 50, 60 years down the road [football is in danger], because if you look at the science and getting more and more clear on it, that this is a, it's an extremely dangerous sport... And the reason why we fell in love with football was because it was very violent in nature. And you love those big hits. And the science keeps coming, and the rules keep digressing.
Arian FosterThe NCAA system for athletes is a form of indentured servitude
No, that's indentured servitude. If you go to Google, just look up indentured servitude and you'll find that exact definition... The NCAA is the only establishment where their interns are their product. It's the most ridiculous, backwards, twisted system of in existence.
Arian FosterMatt Schaub was a good quarterback whose career was ruined by a loss of confidence
Matt Schaub is definitely number one [on the Mount Rushmore of Texans QBs]... No, he was a good quarterback. He had a bad season. And I think it ruined his confidence, but he was a good quarterback when he was balling. He had a bad run.
Arian FosterRussell Wilson is lying when he claims God speaks to him directly
Are you saying that when Russell Wilson says that... God spoke to him as he was walking to the sidelines... you don't think that that was actually God talking to him? You're calling him a liar? [Foster]: Yeah, I am, actually. I don't think that we have an intervening divine presence in our universe at this moment... I don't believe your claim.
Arian FosterWolves are not as tough as people make them out to be
I don't think wolves are as tough as we make them out to be. I think we just built up this prestige of them in our heads.
Arian FosterJoel Osteen manipulates people by 'selling hope'
I've read my fair share of the Bible, man, and Jesus specifically preached about being rich... It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom... You have private jets. You have, like, a mansion. Like, that's not the life that Jesus taught... you are selling hope. And I feel like any time you sell hope, you're manipulating people.
Kings Stay Kings
PFT CommenterJeff Fisher is the 'Rasputin' of the NFL and is guaranteed a contract extension wherever he goes
You're not giving Jeff Fisher enough credit because Jeff Fisher, he's Rasputin. Once he gets in the building, he knows how to whisper into his boss. You shoot him and he just keeps walking forward. Jeff Fisher is absolutely getting at least one contract extension, no matter where he goes. That's a fact.
Guys On Chicks
Big CatCash is the greatest Christmas gift you can ever give
So the real answer here is cash. All boyfriends want cash. They want cold, hard cash... Cash is the greatest gift you could ever give... When you open up a card, you're expecting cash in there. Put the fucking cash in there.

PFT CommenterAn alien invasion would be a blessing in disguise because it would unify Earth against a common enemy
I actually think that this could be a blessing in disguise for Earth. Because it's like Earth has been in training camp with each other for the last, like, 2,000 years... And now all of a sudden we've got an enemy to play against. It's fun hitting somebody else, right?
HankAliens will eventually hack the cloud and release everyone's deleted messages and photos
I've always thought that at some point in the future that every text message, Snapchat, picture message, picture they've ever taken and deleted, that's all going to end up on the internet for everyone... Aliens are about to start that. They're aliens, so they obviously know how to get to the cloud.
