Recap
PFT CommenterThe 2016 WNBA season was destined to be Candace Parker's year
If you follow the WNBA, you knew this was Candace Parker's season. The Los Angeles Sparks are your WNBA champions.
Big CatThe Minnesota Lynx are an 'odd-year' dynasty
Are the Lynx still considered a dynasty, or was this their dynasty year because they won in 2011? 13, 15, people forget, odd year Lynx.
PFT CommenterThe Cubs bats woke up because they started playing 'small ball' like Mike Scioscia
I think that the Cubs won because they finally listened to me and started playing some small ball. It's called foreplay, and Joe Maddon finally figured out you've got to get to first before you get to home plate. And instead of hitting home runs, they finally learned to build a rally with some bunts, some stolen bases. I call it socialism for Mike Scioscia.
PFT CommenterThere will definitely be a Game 7 in the Cubs-Dodgers NLCS
There's going to be game seven. That's all I'm saying. I want the Cubs to win. I'm on record, but there's going to be game seven.
PFT CommenterRussell Wilson becoming a father will ruin the Seahawks' season
I feel like the pressure of becoming a new father might turn the Seahawks season around for the worse. [Russell Wilson] was firing off... firing on all cylinders.
Big CatWhite is the combination of every single color
white is a combination of every single color out there so they [the Packers] actually had the most colorful uniforms people didn't realize that
Big CatMatt Barkley only has an NFL job because he is 6'3" and looks good in shorts
Matt Barkley is still in the nfl proving my theory that if you're like six three played at a big time college and look good in shorts someone will give you a job
Big CatNFL Week 7 of 2016 is an 'Apple Picking Weekend' for fans with significant others
The slate, by the way, is so bad... This is an apple-picking weekend. If you have a significant other, if you have a girlfriend, if you have a boyfriend, it's 2016, if you have a wife, whatever you got... This is when you say, 'hey honey, I was thinking maybe we could go to the farm and get some cider donuts and do some apple picking.' Boom. You missed the worst slate. That's apple picking.
Interview
Matthew DellavedovaCleveland and Milwaukee are equal as cities
I mean, they're pretty similar, like smaller cities, easy to get around, no traffic, which I like. Power rank them? They're like equal. Equal right now. 1A, 1B.
Matthew DellavedovaTeam Australia went into the 2016 Olympics believing they could beat Team USA
I think we went in believing we could beat them [Team USA]. And I think we showed that, you know, we had the opportunities to. And we're a team that had played together for a lot of years. And I think that counts for something.
Matthew DellavedovaLeBron James is indestructible
I think he's [LeBron James] indestructible. No one's indestructible. I think LeBron is indestructible.
Stingray SteveMississippi State will beat Kentucky 31-28
Mississippi State 31, Kentucky 28.
Hurt Or Injured
PFT CommenterDez Bryant did not actually cut his finger making soup
I have a feeling he wasn't making soup. I have a feeling he cut his finger doing something else. Are we staying woke on this one? This seems a little sus, as Hank would say.
Humans Vs The Sun
PFT CommenterThe sun is on the Hot Seat because its glare could cause the Bills to lose
Miami Dolphins to beat the Bills this weekend because she [USA Today podcast host's mom] doesn't think that the Bills are going to be able to handle the glare of the Miami sun. It's a fair point. Developing situation. Let's keep an eye on it... The sun is on the hot seat right now, so this could really be it.
Big CatSquirrel tail circumference predicts the length of winter
You look at the squirrel's tail, the circumference of a squirrel's tail will tell you how long the winter's going to be... That's a little farmer's almanac trick for you.
Roast
HankStephen Hawking is a government propaganda myth who was replaced years ago
Stephen Hawking, I think, is similar to PFT's JJ theory. Stephen Hawking died many years ago, but the government needed to keep up his... His propaganda so they just put a replacement Stephen Hawking in that chair. Whatever it's like yeah He just like invented space and shit.
