Recap
Big CatThe Indiana Pacers' game plan is to lull you to sleep and then fuck your world up in the last three minutes
The Indiana Pacers have done it again. They stole game one in Oklahoma City. These pacers, they just keep doing it... The Pacer's game plan is to lull you to sleep, being giving you a 10 point lead and then in the last three minutes, fuck your world up.
PFT CommenterIf an NBA game were only 45 minutes long, the Indiana Pacers would be a lottery team
Surely they can't do this again, right? They didn't need until 0.3 seconds left in the entire game. If NBA playoff, if NBA games were 45 minutes long, the Pacers would be a lottery team.
Big CatThe NBA Finals don't feel special because there is no 'Finals' script on the court anymore
How do you not have just like a script NBA finals? How do you not have anything, maybe even on the baseline there? It's the same argument I make with the throwback jerseys... When I watch a highlight of this game 10 years from now, I wanna know it was the NBA finals and there's nothing on the fucking court except YouTube TV.
Big CatThe Anthony Richardson experience in Indianapolis might already be over
Anthony Richardson is hurt another shoulder injury to the quarterback... I feel like this could be Daniel Jones... I just feel like the Anthony Richardson experience might be over.
Fyre Fest
ZacThe 'Sharknado' meta and Smurf accounts are ruining Marvel Rivals
The developers of Marvel rivals... are tanking the game. So they're, they're allowing these guys to do... Smurf account... and then they've changed the team up and now there's a sharknato that you can light on fire and the sharknato is ruining the game. It's bad.
Interview
Mike FlorioJoe Flacco will start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns
Probably Joe Flacco. Yep. Just because that's the guy who you can get ready with fewer first team reps in August... I believe that they're gonna try to move Kenny Pickett before the training camp opens... Flaco will start week one and then once one of the other two guys is ready, they'll put that guy out there.
Wright ThompsonMichael Jordan is the GOAT over Tiger Woods
[Big Cat]: who's better? Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan? [Wright]: Michael Jordan.
Wright ThompsonTiger Woods is an extreme introvert who was broken by being forced into the Michael Jordan marketing playbook
It's always astonishing that no one in that room at Nike... occurred to no one that the playbook had been built around Michael Jordan, who is an extreme extrovert. And they applied it to Tiger Woods, who is an extreme introvert and like, honestly feels like they broke him.
Mike FlorioBill Belichick will eventually coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I feel like Belichick has been eyeballing the bucks... The Buccaneers are willing to do kooky things if they think it's gonna make them better... It would make sense if you can hand him a talented team in a weak division where he could cobble together enough wins to get to the playoffs.
