Recap
Big CatBill Self and Kansas will collapse in the Sweet 16
Kansas dominated, which was like the classic everyone loves Northeastern. And then Kansas came out and was like, hey, we might suck. We might be a shitty version of Kansas this year, but we're still Kansas... we'll wait until we get to the Sweet 16 for Bill Self to collapse.
PFT CommenterDarren Rovell's brand is being the guy who 'forgot' to fill out a bracket
Darren knows brands. And my suspicion is he realized at the very last minute that his brand is being the guy that doesn't fill out a bracket and tells you that he didn't. And so he was like, it'd be bad. It would just be a bad change of pace.
PFT CommenterLiberty University is the best Cinderella story because of their midnight curfew
I would say Liberty is a better Cinderella story because they have to be home by midnight. That's actually a rule on campus. True, true. That is. Some steep curfew for them. Yeah, Liberty, they're my team this year.
Interview
Brady QuinnThe stripes on a college football enhance the look of a spiral compared to an NFL ball
The stripes on the college... because the college ball has extra stripes. It does enhance the ability of what a spiral looks like. Because you get the NFL, you really can't tell.
Brady QuinnJamarcus Russell had a stronger arm than Josh Allen
I watched him [Jamarcus Russell] throw. I was like, holy hell. That dude had the strongest arm I've ever seen. I know you guys are big Josh Allen fans. I'm a big Josh Allen fan. Jamarcus Russell had a stronger arm than Josh Allen.
Brady QuinnJoe Thomas's draft day fishing story was staged
Joe Thomas. He didn't even go to the draft. Yeah, exactly. He was fishing. Which is the biggest BS... There's no way that boat got that far off the dock before it came right back. I just thought, I was like, this had to have been staged. Because either A, you're getting so far out, you don't have cell phone reception. Or B, it wasn't going to time out... I think he got [the fish] from the supermarket. They just put it on the boat.
Brady QuinnUrban Meyer would be a great head coach for Notre Dame
But Urban Meyer, he's going to be the next coach in Notre Dame, right? ... But you would like him as a head coach, right? Yeah, of course. He's one of the greatest of all time in college football.
Brady QuinnTim Tebow's inaccuracy was caused by over-thinking his mechanics after constant criticism
The problem is the biggest thing is if no one told him his throwing motion was messed up, he'd probably throw the ball with so much more confidence. What happened with him is... everyone started doubting him and his ability to like actually be accurate... if you're already thinking that before you throw the football, game over.
Alex ArmahI was definitely willing to break the arm of the man trying to steal my car
Were you willing to break his arm? Because that's a true armbar. Oh, yeah. I was definitely willing to break his arm. Yeah, but he basically was like, stop and cry. He basically verbally tapped. Yeah, he verbally tapped, but that didn't stop me.
Mount Rushmore
PFT CommenterFullback assists should be an official NFL stat
I would like to actually make the fullback assist a real stat that's recognized. So that's whenever a running back scores a touchdown inside the five-yard line and a fullback makes a block, they should get an assist like in hockey or in soccer.
Way To Stay Relevant
Big CatThe MLB retiring Ichiro at 7 AM in Japan is the worst way to stay relevant
Way to Stay Relevant Baseball, having one of the most liked superstars in the past probably 50 years retire at 7 a.m. when no one was watching in Japan... And on top of all of that, I actually woke up and... I went to Twitter to try to find some clips. Well, another one, MLB. I forgot. No one can tweet any clips from your product. So I couldn't even see Ichiro's last thing until you uploaded it on yourself. So good job, MLB.
PFT CommenterBaseball writers will hold Ichiro's unannounced retirement against him in Hall of Fame voting
This is going to cost him some votes in the Hall of Fame. When he's eligible, people are saying that he might be another unanimous entry... but I would not put it past baseball writers to get upset about not getting the heads up about his retirement and hold that against him five years from now.
Stay Woke
PFT CommenterNick Saban paid Bill Belichick to wear an Alabama shirt to help recruit white wide receivers
I think that Saban paid him to wear the shirt because Saban knows they need to do a better job recruiting the Hunter Renfros of the world... What better way to recruit the, like, scrappy little white wide receivers than have Belichick be the new face of your program?
