Recap
Big CatCollege basketball teams should foul earlier because college players cannot hit free throws
The one thing that pisses me off this entire tournament... the fact that teams won't extend games. You should make kids shoot free throws in college. They can't hit free throws. And we saw that later with Kentucky.
PFT CommenterGonzaga is the 'always a bridesmaid, never a Cinderella' of college basketball
I guess we have to smash the fraud button on Gonzaga. Always a bridesmaid, never a Cinderella.
PFT CommenterMichigan looks as good or better than any team in the tournament except Villanova and Duke
Michigan looks as good, if not better than any team except for Villanova this tournament. And well, Duke.
Big CatSam Darnold's draft stock improved because he threw in the rain during his pro day
Are you nervous that Sam Darnold could throw in the rain? ... There actually were articles written that was the rainy weather. Did the rainy weather help Sam Darnold's draft stock? I think absolutely.
Big CatThe Jason Pierre-Paul trade to the Buccaneers is not a blockbuster
Do you think that JPP is worth blockbuster trade when tweeted? Because Adam Schefter said JPP getting traded to the Bucs is a blockbuster trade. ... I think four years ago it definitely would have been.
Interview
Jon TafferNever partner with someone in business who cheats on their family
Somebody said to me, man, don't be partners with somebody who would cheat like that because he'll screw you in a heartbeat. ... If you're cheating someone else, then I'm convinced you're going to cheat me too.
Jon TafferPeople with the biggest egos have the thinnest wallets
You ever notice that people with the biggest ego have the thinnest fucking wallet? Because he doesn't listen to anybody. His ego gets in a way that's typically not very successful.
PFT CommenterZing Zang is the superior Bloody Mary mix compared to handmade versions
I've discovered that the best mix by far for Bloody Mary is Zing Zang mix. There are a lot of places that tout their Bloody Marys as being handmade, and I always say, no, I'm not going to deal with that. I want Zing Zang.
Big CatOrdering a steak 'medium rare plus' is a legitimate and common request
When I go to a steak place, I order medium rare plus. Is that real? ... It's basically asking for medium rare, true medium rare. Because I also always find that really nice steakhouses always undercook it just a little bit.
Jon TafferMillennials drink craft beer that sucks just because they think it's cool
Millennials are very relevancy-driven. Millennials will drink a craft beer that sucks because it's cool. ... Millennials don't react to logical things. They react to what is cool.
Kings Stay Kings
PFT CommenterNick Saban only hires former head coaches as interns so he can eventually beat them
Is this Nick Saban thinking ahead and saying, Butch Jones might get another job in the SEC, so I need to put him under my coaching tree so that I can beat him? Because he's undefeated against his coaching tree.
Jimbos
PFT CommenterDeion Sanders only considers players great if they call him for advice
If you're a young player in the league and you call him for advice once a week, then you're a good player. If he mentors you, then you're one of the best players in the league. ... If you play in a boring place like Tennessee, then he just doesn't know who you are.
Faq
Big CatSkyline Chili is terrible and only worth eating for the laughs
If I never stepped foot into Skyline Chili again, that would be fantastic. But then whenever we're in the Ohio area, PFT's like, it would be funny if we went to a Skyline. ... [We] sit there silently trying one bite and being like, nope, still terrible.
