Interview
Greg OlsenThe hardest part about playing tight end is having to be an elite blocker and an elite receiver simultaneously.
You have to be an elite route runner. You can catch the ball really well... but then if you can't, like, hold your own in the run game and you can't, like, take in – hit in the face by a 300-pound defensive end, then, like, you kind of have – they kind of have to, like, call plays around you instead of, like, you being able to be the focal point.
George KittleSuper Bowl winning teams always have a talented tight end, so the position should be paid more.
If you look at the last year, 10 Super Bowls, I think every team that's won has had a very, very talented tight end. So, like, it has to do with winning Super Bowls. So, I mean, I think that's the most important thing, so you might as well pay the tight ends.
Greg OlsenI am completely and utterly done with football and will not come out of retirement.
I am not going to be coming out of retirement. I'm completely and utterly done. I've set a record for how many times I've broken and ruptured my feet. So I'm full-time dad and part-time broadcaster.
Recap
Big CatThe Process is officially dead.
Today is Monday, June 21st, and the process is dead. We had a good run. This was going to be the postseason where we judged whether or not processes actually work. Turns out they don't.
PFT CommenterBen Simmons proves that you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
I always thought that saying the Wayne Gretzky-Michael Scott quote didn't really make that much sense. [Ben Simmons] actually proves that you do, in fact, miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.
Big CatBen Simmons will still have trade value because a team will believe they can fix him.
I think [Ben Simmons] still will have trade value because someone will think, I can fix that. I can make him better because he still has elite levels to his game. It's just the whole point of shooting a basketball into a hoop is the game, and he just doesn't want to do that.
HankThe 76ers will eventually make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
I do believe, I truly believe, as much as I've said bad things about Philly, it's only been my honest opinion. And I do believe eventually they will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Big CatKevin Durant gained respect and status from this playoff run despite losing.
Weirdly I think Kevin Durant like gained from this. Oh yeah. I mean the shot at the end of regulation was huge and just the way this... Harden going down, Kyrie going down... 48 points where he just was so incredible... I think people appreciate Kevin Durant more than they ever have, watching him play without other players and being as incredible as he is.
PFT CommenterBryson DeChambeau is a mentally weak golfer and a quitter.
We call him a lot of stuff, but we've never called him a quitter until today. And he quit when his giant cleats didn't save him... At that point, Bryson was like, I don't want to be out here anymore. And he quit. He is a mentally weak golfer.
Who Is Back
PFT CommenterF1 cars are too soft and need to be louder.
I think the cars are too loud. [Wait, no] make them a little bit softer or make them just really fucking loud... the cars are too soft. They're basically racing toy cars. It's the pussification of America, of Europe.
PFT CommenterDefensive teams should score a run if they turn a triple play.
Actually, I think you should be able to get a run for a triple play. On defense, you should be able to score a run if you get a triple play... give us what the fans want, and that's defensive runs.
