Recap
PFT CommenterMLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's comments about the World Series trophy made the Astros scandal significantly worse.
Rob Manfred the commissioner made it even worse by getting in front of reporters and saying the idea of an asterisks or asking for a piece of metal [the World Series trophy] back seems like a futile act... he called the World Series trophy a piece of metal which is not... most dangerous trophy in all sports.
PFT CommenterJose Altuve's 'unfinished tattoo' excuse for not wanting his jersey ripped off is a cover for steroid-induced back acne.
No, it wasn't a tattoo. I was just embarrassed because I had a ton of bacne from all the steroids I was taking. Reframe the conversation. Type of cheating... the cheating that's allowed.
PFT CommenterThe DC Defenders are a 'wagon' and will win the XFL Championship.
I'm going to tell you right now. The DC Defenders are a wagon, not your goddamn wagon. There's no one getting in between them and whatever trophy is called for the XFL Championship.
PFT CommenterXFL quarterback Landry Jones will be an NFL or college football broadcaster within a year and a half.
I think that he [Landry Jones] wants to get a gig being an analyst or being in the booth next year. I think that's what he's angling for because he's being like super pro... you will see Landry Jones in some sort of booth or behind a desk within the next year and a half.
PFT CommenterThe DC Defenders could beat the Washington Redskins right now.
I'm actually saying that I think that the Defenders could beat the Redskins, but right now I'm saying like the Redskins roster as it stands. They all had to show off. They just showed up. The stadium fair without practicing.
Who Is Back
Big CatThe NFL has audio from the Miles Garrett/Mason Rudolph incident but is refusing to release it.
The NFL should just they have to have they've got out here. Now, they know they've got audio... I think the NFL had audio because you'll remember they have audio that they play like every Tuesday on Showtime... and their excuse was they have a guy who pushes a button to stop recording in between plays. That doesn't exist.
Interview
Joakim NoahThe Chicago Bulls would have won the 2012 NBA Championship if Derrick Rose hadn't suffered an ACL injury.
If Derrick Rose doesn't go down... I think we're holding the trophy. We're the best team in the league. We got the job in my mind still to this day. There's no question. Nobody was fucking with us.
Joakim NoahKevin Garnett's refusal to be friendly on the court changed Joakim Noah's career and taught him 'no love in battle'.
I remember asking [KG] a question... just trying to be cool like I would just wanted to be I just want to say something to my idol and he just like looked over and he was like... who the fuck you think you talking to... that moment right there changed everything... I learned that there's no love in battle.
Big CatJoakim Noah is an NBA Hall of Famer.
There you are one of only five players to have a final four MVP, all-nba first team, all-defensive first team... Hakeem and Anthony Davis, Bill Walton, Jerry West... I think you're a Hall of Famer.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankJustin Bieber's 'too bad' DM to Ria on Valentine's Day was a 'flirty' response.
He just like it was in one of those Twitter moments... and her tweet was in there... so he said what do you say to her? Too bad. Too bad. That's a little flirty.
