Recap
PFT CommenterWild Card Weekend is the second-best weekend in sports, behind only Divisional Weekend
If we're doing a power ranking of sports weekends, Wild Card Weekend is in my top three. I've got Wild Card Weekend, I'll call it number two. Divisional Weekend's number one. And then the first weekend of March Madness, number three.
PFT CommenterThe Houston Texans are better off without J.J. Watt
I want their team to go so far in the playoffs that are the Houston Texans better without J.J. Watt takes start to heat up. Because if they win, I'll say if they win two playoff games. Yeah, if they win two playoff games, you're going to get those takes, and I'm here for those.
PFT CommenterPete Carroll is 'more woke' at night and believes 9/11 was an inside job
Day Pete Carroll thinks that 9-11 was an inside job, night Pete Carroll knows 9-11 was an inside job. Absolutely. He's more woke at night. He's a bat. He's nocturnal. Pete Carroll the owl.
Big CatThe Miami Dolphins' teal and aqua uniforms do not belong in the NFL playoffs
I'm just going to say it, right? The Dolphins' uniforms are not playoff uniforms. They aren't. That's a hot take, I know, but it's the truth. Teal and that aqua and all that shit doesn't belong in the playoffs.
Big CatThe Green Bay Packers are not built for cold weather at Lambeau Field
You know what my favorite take is? The Packers aren't built for Lambeau. They're playing in the wrong stadium. This is a new look. Yeah, they almost wish they were somewhere else. They wish they didn't have a home game.
Jimbos
PFT CommenterIt is better for your date to get injured on a ski trip than for her to be better at skiing than you
He takes her on a ski trip... She starts skiing, and she does backflips going down. And he [Donald Trump] thought that he was going to take this girl out and teach her how to ski. She was better than him. He immediately picked his skis up and walked inside for the rest of the weekend. He's like, this sucks. I can't deal with that. So I would rather that your date gets devastatingly injured than for her to be better.
Interview
Mark TitusGrayson Allen's tripping incidents are victimless pranks that don't actually matter
The thing about Grayson Allen that I absolutely love is that all of this is victimless and it doesn't actually matter. The stakes are non-existent in this story. And we pretend like they are because we just love to hate Duke so much. But he's sticking his foot out and tripping guys and they kind of just trip over and they look up like, what the fuck was that? And then they move on. And it's not like he's putting anyone's life in jeopardy.
Mark TitusCoach K's leave of absence was a PR move to shield Grayson Allen from the headlines
My theory is that the Coach K leave of absence is one to take headlines away from Grayson. Because that's all he was talking about. And K said, if I step away—and by the way, both of these things are happening right after they get smoked at Virginia Tech. That's not a coincidence either.
Mark TitusCoach K gave Jeff Capel the Duke team as a tryout to become the future head coach
Um, that K, this whole Capel thing is a tryout for Capel because K wants Capel to get the job after he leaves. So this is, this is not actually like a, his back doesn't hurt. He's just saying, here you go, Capel. I'm going to give you the most talented team, maybe in college basketball history... prove to everyone that you're a great coach. And then that way, when I retire, you can be like, 'Hey, remember that time that I took 12 McDonald's All-Americans to a 4-0 record?'
Mark TitusLeBron James is the perfect laboratory-engineered basketball player, more so than Jordan
In all seriousness, I think LeBron is... If you had to clone a guy and put five of him on the floor, he's clearly the guy that you would want. If you're making a basketball player in a laboratory from the ground up, you build LeBron James.
PFT CommenterBoston sports fans would love Gordon Hayward because he is a white player
A lot of stuff in the news about Gordon Hayward and Boston fans booing Jae Crowder, cheering for Hayward. Then Bomani Jones got on the air and said that Boston fans would absolutely love Gordon Hayward, which I think they would. I don't think that's out of bounds.
