Recap
PFT CommenterEstablished media columnists in the 90s were no better than modern-day Twitter eggs
It's wild to think that in the mid nineties media, all these people who were given columns were no better than just like some Twitter egg that wanted to like put this shit out there and they got away with it and they still have jobs to this day.
PFT CommenterMichael Jordan's personality is the only thing that allowed him to be exceptionally great
You don't say that him being a jerk made him great, but you're saying that his greatness, like, yeah, he probably would not have been looked at in the way that we look at him right now if he didn't have that personality.
Big CatThe 1996 Bulls game against the Indiana Pacers had higher viewership than March Madness
MJ did three times the NCAA tournament. Think about that. The NBA game in the middle of March did three times NCAA tournament, so much so CBS had to do a make good for advertisers because they got so fucking roasted in viewership because MJ came back during March Madness.
Who Is Back
Big CatRoger Goodell will use a technicality to prevent Dave Portnoy from documenting the auction-won MNF game
I think they're going to figure out a technicality, right?... if he [Goodell] just had to sit with Goodell with no content being made. That's actually the ultimate own back on Dave. You just have to sit with this miserable person for an entire night and listen to him talk... and you can't make content out of it. That would kill Dave.
PFT CommenterTekashi 6ix9ine's addiction to Instagram Live will eventually lead to his downfall
this dude is so good at self-promotion... But the only downside to it is he's addicted to going live. He goes live when he's about to commit crimes. And as somebody who's on the run from people that are looking for him, I think that's going to be his downfall.
Big CatThe lawsuit against Zion Williamson for allegedly receiving money to attend Duke is cloud chasing
Zion Williamson's former marketing agent has served request for admission in their lawsuit, asking him to admit that he received money... She's cloud chasing, yeah.
Interview
Tim GroverMichael Jordan was only 70-75% of his peak self during the 1995 NBA return
When he came back for that shortened season, 70%, 75% best. And it was a crazy thing. Even at 70%, 75%, he's probably better than 90% of the players, but he wasn't Michael Jordan.
Tim GroverThe famous Flu Game was actually a case of food poisoning from a pizza
100% it was food poisoning, 100%. But obviously it just sounds better to be the flu game than the food poisoning game... Nobody ate the pizza, but him, nobody. And there was no signs of flu, anything being sick before that. And then about three o'clock in the morning... he's literally curled up in a fetal position.
Mount Flushmore
PFT CommenterJudas belongs on the Mount Flushmore of worst teammates of all time
I'm going to go with Judas. I consider Judas to be a teammate. Sold out Jesus. All about the contract situation. Really fucked things up for the rest of the world because he was so selfish.
HankLeBron James is one of the worst teammates of all time because he takes all the credit and trades everyone else
LeBron James. Can't be fun to be his teammate. You're always, always in fear that he's like, if you do well, he's going to take all the credit. If you do bad, he's probably going to trade you off the team.
Billy Deep Dive
Billy FootballMurder Hornets are not a threat to humans and people should be more worried about Africanized Bees
Murder Hornets are not a problem. The Africanized bees, on the other hand, have been killing more people per capita in the U.S. already... selfies are more dangerous than the murder hornets to the Chinese.
