Recap
Big CatThe ironic resurgence of Harambe is due for a comeback
I think we actually are getting close to having it [Harambe] be funny again. The resurgence. Because it was very funny for that summer. Then it was like very lame. But now enough time has passed where if you just drop a Harambe, it's like, oh, that's actually kind of funny. The ironic resurgence of Harambe is due.
Big CatThe Lakers will win their series against the Suns
The Lakers are up 2-1. They're going to win this series. The Suns, I feel bad for them. I don't know how the Lakers don't come out of the West.
PFT CommenterJimmy Butler is not a top 15 player in the NBA
I've long said that Jimmy Butler is not a top 15 player in the NBA. He doesn't look at all like he did last year. I don't know what the difference is.
Big CatNike's NBA jerseys are an abomination
What Nike has done with jerseys is an abomination. Whatever the Knicks were wearing was so fucking bad. It was like, it looked like if they made a movie set in the future and like New York City set in like 20, I don't know, 90, this is what the Knicks are wearing.
Liam (Bubba)Home teams should always wear white in every sport
In any sport, one team should wear white... the home team should just wear white. Yes. That's it. And then the away team wears color. They can maybe switch it between a couple different colors. But the home team should always wear white.
Big CatThe 'sports are better with fans' honeymoon phase will end by Thanksgiving
We're in a nice honeymoon phase where it is incredible to turn on a game and just be like, oh, my God, this is awesome... I think sometime around Thanksgiving, if you're still doing that, if you're still pointing out the extremely obvious sports are better with fans, you're late to it.
PFT CommenterBryson DeChambeau's U.S. Open win is a 'Mickey Mouse' major championship
Also Bryson, he has a Mickey Mouse U.S. Open. Can we admit that? Oh, here's something I'll just throw out there. It's a Mickey Mouse major championship. There are no fans.
Interview
Mark TitusThe Brooklyn Nets are the 'new' L.A. Clippers
I think the Nets are the new Clippers in that regard. They're obviously very good. They're super talented. They're the favorites to win it. But can it work? Do they have production after the first three guys? ... Is Kyrie nuts? And is James Harden a little too? Can those three personalities mesh? That's what the new Clippers are to me.
Mark TitusCoach K will do a farewell tour next season
Tate [Frazier] put it in my ear that Coach K is going to do a farewell tour this year... He definitely has sources. He has people that said there's a plan in place. ... All he really wanted to do was outlast Roy [Williams]. Roy retired.
Mark TitusUrban Meyer and LeBron James are the same person
Urban Meyer and LeBron were the same person. I was like, I'm going to use this to get what I need out of it. I'm going to use the state of Ohio. And then once I get what I need, I'm gone, and that's that. And I saw through it.
Big CatRyan Pace and Matt Nagy keeping their jobs prevents the cycle of failure from breaking
So even if Justin Fields is good, then that means that Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy keep their jobs, which they're probably not very fit for their jobs. So then the cycle continues like that.
Mark TitusIf Justin Fields fails in Chicago, it is the Bears' fault, not Ohio State's
If Justin Fields in Chicago does not work out, it is the Bears' fault. Do not blame this on Ohio State quarterbacks. Put that one in the Bears. Don't blame Justin Fields. That's all I'm asking.
