Recap
Big CatThe Dallas Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl this year
I can't see a world that Dallas don't win at least 15 games and CD Lamb should be a first rounder and Amari Cooper should be a first rounder and Dak Prescott... should be a first rounder... they are going to win the Super Bowl.
Big CatA head coach finding out their star quarterback is injured is the most devastating news possible
I need every head coach to be miked up when they get that type of news, because it is absolutely devastating. It's like stuff... I'm talking, you could tell them their family just got kidnapped and they'd be like, all right, well, we'll figure out after practice, but [the trainer] walking up being like, 'Hey, it's a muscular thing. We don't know.'
PFT CommenterMicah Parsons looks too small for a linebacker wearing number 11
Michael Parsons wearing number 11. It's going to take a lot of getting used to... I was watching it. I was like, this guy weighs 205 pounds and he's a linebacker. And then I looked up his stats and he's like 6'2" and 250 pounds. The 11 totally screwed me.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatBen Simmons is a 'penny stock' worth investing in right now
I'm kind of low key addicted to Ben Simmons because he really is like a penny stock. If he could figure it out a little bit, it would be incredible. Like he would be, you know, a starter on the all-star team because he has all the other stuff. Defense, passing, dribbling... If he could just figure out when to shoot and have the balls to shoot, I'm telling you invest now.
Jake MarshThe NFL's new taunting rules are bad for the game of football
I see it as taunting. So the NFL came out with new rules... I love this. [Sarcastic] Oh yeah, no fuck for the game. No, no, no, no, no. I love this.
Billy FootballSam Ehlinger will be a better NFL quarterback than Trevor Lawrence
Sam Ehlinger has been taking reps with the first team offense... Sam Ehlinger was going to be better than Trevor Lawrence. That was a 12-1 upset [in my bracket].
Interview
Gable StevesonFreestyle wrestling is harder than Greco-Roman wrestling
I'm going to say freestyle in a sense is a lot harder than Greco, because you just, you could take shots in the legs. You can get cheap points off of easy shots and stuff.
Gable StevesonI want to have a trial with an NFL team
I would hope one day that I can get a trial with the NFL. And I mean, there's some teams that have came and have mentioned me to some, some agents and stuff that have sparked interest to me. So, I mean, it'd be cool to go out there and play football and be in NFL for a little bit.
Daymond JohnHot fashion brands typically only last five to seven years
The cycle of generally for fashion, a hot fashion brand lasts about five to seven years. There's a unicorns like Nike and Louis Vuitton. But you'll notice whether it's Benetton or Levi's... [they] chip away.
Daymond JohnThe only way to make real money in the stock market is to hold for 20 years
If you buy something on one of those [Robinhood/Ameritrade], the real way you're going to make money is to hold it for 20 years. If it's a value. But if you buy it, you naturally look at your account and you go back and go, 'oh, I'm Gordon Gekko. I just made $200. Let me sell it.'... It takes away your discipline.
Mount Rushmore
HankMagic Johnson is the greatest nickname in sports history
I think it's probably the greatest nickname of all time because it just becomes his name. It is Magic Johnson. There is no one better than Magic Johnson. Irvin Johnson becoming Magic. I mean, it's just synonymous.
Big CatTiger Woods' nickname is better than any other because it's synonymous with his dominance
This one is another synonymous name. It's an all time nickname... it is Tiger Woods. He's Eldrick Woods. His nickname is Tiger. It was given to him when he was a kid. There's nothing better. Like when he's in his red shirt on a Sunday hunting down his prey, Tiger Woods.
Outro
Billy FootballUsain Bolt is the greatest sprinter because he's the only one who didn't test positive for steroids
The fastest man, currently the Italian guy Lamont... basically of all the sprinters to break nine seconds, 9 out of the 10 have tested positive or been accused of using steroids except Usain Bolt. [He's] the greatest of all time.
