Landon Donovan 08/10/16
The guys are in the Olympic spirit after Michael Phelps dominating night. USA wins in Rio and why Chad Le Clos is an all time loser. Mt Rushmore of good smells and guys you don't want at your party. Landon Donovan joins the show to talk soccer, Olympics, and joining in a Swansea ownership alliance with Big Cat. Segments include "Tebow Watch", "Sabermetics", "Mike Greenberg's Dumb Rules", "Spinzone" for David Ortiz's racist bobbleheads and a Lebron James update
Recap
PFT CommenterA man should only cry after losing his virginity or winning an Olympic medal
I always love it when our Olympians have a good cry... I would say that and maybe after you lose your virginity is the only acceptable time where a man can cry.
Big CatLeBron James would be the best of all time in any Olympic sport he chose
Could LeBron James dominate this sport? And the answer is always yes. If LeBron decided not to play basketball and instead was a swimmer or a high diver or a handball player or a soccer player, he'd probably be the best of all time.
Interview
Landon DonovanThe U.S. will win a World Cup in the next 10 years
First question for you, Landon, will the U.S. win a World Cup in the next 10 years? [Landon]: Yes.
Landon DonovanJurgen Klinsmann will still be the U.S. coach in 2018
I do believe [Jurgen Klinsmann] will be the coach in 2018. I think there's been a lot of ups and downs during his tenure, but I think recently the team has looked better.
Landon DonovanLeBron James would be the best soccer goalie of all time
What athlete or actually, sorry, if LeBron James decided to play soccer instead of basketball, would he be the best soccer player of all time? [Landon]: I mean, he's still a little tall to be able to move the way he'd probably be the best goalie of all time.
Tebow Watch
PFT CommenterTim Tebow is like a six-year-old because he hasn't proved he's incompetent at any job yet
[Tebow] is basically like a six-year-old... he's able to do that. And then he's like, I want to be on ESPN. And they put him on ESPN... the best thing that you can say about Tim Tebow is that he doesn't suck enough at anything where any job is really out of the remote possibility for him.
People Forget That
Big CatPrince Fielder will finish his career with the exact same number of home runs as his father
If Prince Fielder never plays another Major League Baseball game, he will end his career with 319 home runs. Same amount of home runs as Cecil Fielder.
Mike Greenbergs Dumb Rules
PFT CommenterThe summer Olympics should include a 'Top Gun' style cockpit dogfighting competition
I've got dogfighting, except not dogs, like airplanes, like Top Gun... how amazing would that be if you have, like, cameras inside the cockpit... and the hard deck at 10,000 feet... qualifying person who finishes and last dies.
