#GritWeek2016 Recap 5/31/2016

Tuesday, May 31, 201611 takes

The guys break down Game 7 of the Warriors Thunder series and the fact that people forget Kevin Durant is technically still cursed by Lil BasedGod. In lieu of a guest, Hank joins the discussion to recap all of Grit Week including the debauchery of the Indy 500 and a Power Rankings of city's visited. Segments include "Talking Lacrosse", "Thoughts and Prayers - Harrembe the gorilla" "PR 101" for Johnny Manziel, "Sorry not Sorry" and an update on the Olympics in Rio. Today's embrace the debate debate is whether or not Dan Marino would have killed a small child in order to win a Super Bowl, and would people hate Draymond Green as much if he was a white guy named Raymond Green.

Wins are like eggs inside of a woman; once you use too many of them, they're gone

I always like to say that wins are like eggs inside of a woman. And once you use too many of them, they're gone and you can't get fertility treatments. Like push-ups, ovums, that type of thing.

The 2016 Warriors did indeed 'run out of wins' in the Finals, losing after leading 3-1. However, the logic is biologically and statistically nonsensical.

Kevin Durant is the Dan Marino of the NBA

Is it fair to say that Kevin Durant is potentially like the Dan Marino of the NBA? You got to start having that conversation, though. Like, is he the best player that will never win a championship?

Durant went on to win two championships with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018, shedding the 'Dan Marino' label.

Chris Humphries will never win an NBA title

If Chris Humphries is ever going to win a national championship, I don't think that he'll win a title. Curse. Curse. Sorry, Chris. You're on the list.

Chris Humphries retired in 2017 without ever winning an NBA championship.

Dan Marino would have killed a small child to win a Super Bowl

But if Dan Marino—if you had said to him during his career, 'Hey, Dan, you can win a Super Bowl, but you got to kill a small child, no one will find out.' You think he does it?

This is an absurd hypothetical that cannot be factually proven, though it remains a staple of PMT lore.

If Draymond Green was a white guy named Raymond Green, he would be more loved

What if Draymond Green was Raymond Green and he was a white guy? He might be more hated, but he also might get away with—he might also be more loved by a large collection of the audience there... if you're a white guy, you can get away with being dirty a little bit better because you just naturally look uncoordinated when you fall down... so people believe you when you're just like flopping down. So if Draymond were white, I actually think he would be more loved overall.

This is a social thought experiment and entirely subjective.

The Cavaliers will not lose another home game as long as I leave my wallet in the arena

The Cleveland Cavaliers have not lost a game since I left my wallet in the Q... My wallet's going to be in there until the end of the finals and then I'll get it back because I think my wallet has actually helped the Cavs. So if I keep the wallet there, the Cavs aren't going to lose a home game.

The Cavs lost Game 4 at home to the Warriors (June 10, 2016), so the 'wallet curse' didn't keep them undefeated at home, even though they eventually won the series.

Buffalo is the number one city in the Grit Power Rankings

I'm ranking Buffalo number one as well. Simply because of the people, they are the best. There's no one better. They were welcoming. They came to up to the bus. They were awesome.

This is a subjective ranking of the hosts' experiences during their first 'Grit Week' tour.

Lacrosse will be more popular than baseball in 50 years

Lacrosse is going to be more popular than baseball in 50 years.

The prediction is set for 2066. As of now, MLB remains significantly more popular than professional or collegiate lacrosse.

Women's lacrosse is not a real sport because Northwestern is good at it

Also, Northwestern won a national title, and if Northwestern can win a national title in the sport we're talking about, that's not a real sport. So women's lacrosse, sorry, not a real sport.

This is a subjective jab at Northwestern University's athletic prowess and the legitimacy of the sport.

People who camp outside NFL facilities for tryouts are terrorists

The people that camp outside of NFL training facilities holding signs that say, 'Let me get a tryout. All I need is a shot. I'm hungry.' They're pretty much terrorists because what they're doing is they're going on like a hunger strike... You can't bypass the system.

This is a satirical comparison used for comedic effect.

Nyquist the horse is a total pussy

Secretary [sic] never called in sick, which is a fact. You can look that up. By the way, this horse is a total pussy. He's clearly a bully horse that's like trying to pick on—he's so mad that he got beat this one time. He doesn't know how to handle it. He just quits and tells everybody to make fun of the better horse.

Determining the 'toughness' of a horse based on its Twitter activity is inherently subjective and satirical.
