DeAndre Ayton... He's a fucking beast, man. He's like DeAndre Ayton showing up to the whole Trey Young, Luka Doncic, that draft ruled discussion being like, I rule too. I'm awesome on defense and offense.
PFT CommenterDeMarcus Cousins' push on Devin Booker should have been a flagrant foul
Yeah, so that [DeMarcus Cousins pushing Devin Booker] should have been called, that should have been like a flagrant foul, right?
PFT CommenterThe NHL is ready for gay players and will be supportive

Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankThe 'You're not that guy, pal' clip will be the clip of the summer
Pretty much, it's a great clip, but I think that's going to be the clip of the summer. Everything you do with your friends, your coworkers, pretty much anything... you're going to see comments about you're not that guy.
HankMatthew Stafford will win NFL MVP
Sean McVay was talking to Albert Breer and said, bro, this dude's a bad motherfucker. Whatever people say about him, as good as it can be, he's even better than advertised. ... I saw it. I saw the future. MVP.
Big CatMatthew Stafford is a Hall of Famer
Dude, I'm rooting for Matt Stafford because there's a few takes that we all have out there that are just lingering, and Matt Stafford being a Hall of Famer, I could retire on that take.
PFT CommenterTom Brady was talking about the 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo when he said 'you're sticking with that motherfucker?'
Tom was talking about the courtship, the quarterback courtship that happened last year. And there was one team in particular where he said, really, you're going to stick with that motherfucker over me? ... Sabermetrically, it's also most likely to be Phillip Rivers. ... [Billy: I think it was Garoppolo] Actually, that is who it is. No, I really do think that's who it is.
PFT CommenterCollege schools will soon use server farms to mine crypto for recruits
Schools are allowed to provide as many education-related expenses as they want to players. ... You could, in theory, provide an athlete with an entire dorm room filled with servers for them to mine cryptocurrency in that dorm room. ... LSU could be like, hey, we're going to build a new dorm called the Arch Manning Dormitory. ... you can just generate money for yourself while you're here.
Big CatSkip Bayless has an investigative team searching athletes' wives' Instagram followers
There's very clearly a person behind the scenes working for Skip Bayless that has Skip Bayless's brain and does all the things online. ... and he just feeds Skip Bayless crap all day, and it just ends up on TV. Like his little private investigator for him.
Jake MarshRobert Griffin III has found his future career as an analyst
So ESPN and Fox are in a bidding war for him as an analyst. Whoa. So it looks like he found his future career. ... The executives were, quote, blown away by his audition.
Interview
Tony KhanAEW exists because WCW vacated the prime TNT/TBS television slot
AEW exists, in my opinion, because of the failure of WCW because they vacated this great time slot, this great relationship with TNT and TBS that we have. And that was the success of WCW was the outlet, the penetration they had from TNT, TBS, and, of course, the fans.
Tony KhanWCW failed because they gave creative control to wrestlers
I think some of the things that went wrong for WCW, in my opinion, were the creative control. They gave creative control to a lot of the wrestlers. And some of the storylines are asinine. ... Most wrestling companies that have been really successful over time have had, like, one supreme commander at the top who's, like, owned it, booked, like, done everything top to bottom.
Tony KhanUrban Meyer is an awesome person who will have his players' backs
Urban's great, man. ... He's changed my life in the six months I've known him... And the way he motivates people, and I know you're not going to want to hear it if you don't like him, but if you get to know him, there is something about him. ... I'm just saying, if he came in here and you worked with him, you'd love him. He would have your back on anything.
Patrick WisdomFacing Jacob deGrom is like going into a test knowing you're going to fail
Yeah, it was a major suck. He shoved it last night. It's like going into a test knowing you're going to fail, like, there's nothing you can do. He's just going to overpower you, and you're going to walk back to the dugout saying, I don't know what I'm doing out here. ... The first pitch I barely even saw.
Patrick WisdomI would compete in the Home Run Derby if asked
If you were asked to do the home run derby, will you do it? Oh, heck yeah. Okay, so there we go. Perfect. Patrick Wisdom says that he would do the home run derby.
Mike Greenbergs Dumb Rules
Big CatMLB is stupid for cracking down on 'sticky stuff' in the middle of a season
My whole point is you should fix it, but don't fix it in the middle of the season only after it becomes public because you feel like a fool for letting it go on and having it be an open secret for so long. ... Just because they got exposed, they're going to swing the pendulum of justice so hard. ... It's so stupid.
Billy Deep Dive
Billy FootballWingstop changing their name to Thighstop is due to a national wing shortage
My hot seat is Wings. Wingstop is now Thighstop due to the national wing shortage. There was a three-time price increase in Wings, so it actually had... been a better investment to invest in Wings than... some cryptos right now.
