Recap
HankTom Brady should be the NFL MVP despite only playing 12 games
If Tom Brady isn't the MVP, it's just further showing [the system is corrupt]... He still had better stats than him. Tom Brady's stats are still better than the other quarterbacks in contention stats. That's the point.
PFT CommenterTom Brady is a system quarterback because Jimmy Garoppolo played well in his absence
Well, [Brady] is also a system quarterback because Jimmy Garoppolo played pretty well. So, yeah. You can't give it to a system quarterback.
PFT CommenterBill Belichick and Tom Brady will retire together in a 2019 suicide pact
They're going to retire simultaneously. They might do a Romeo and Juliet-like suicide pact. Here's my prediction, okay? 2019, they both kill themselves and retire at the same time.
Big CatMike Greenberg's take that the College Football Playoff is better than March Madness is ridiculous
Did anyone tell Greeny that he doesn't know about either of these playoffs because he didn't play sports? ... I mean, it's the most ridiculous statement.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatThe Chicago Bears will win the Super Bowl next year
Alshon Jeffrey guaranteed a Super Bowl victory. So you get one year now, a little more than one year, 13 months. Go ahead and keep doubting. He guaranteed it. He guaranteed the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl next year.
Big CatSam Bradford had the best season for a quarterback in NFL history
Sam Bradford... he won the completion percentage, the greatest completion percentage in NFL history. Had a pretty damn good year... Sam Bradford, best quarterback in NFL history, best season.
Interview
Michael RapaportThe Starters on NBA TV are sports hipsters
I don't like to shit on other people's quality of their work. But they have a show, and it's actually good. It's very stat-oriented... but like the Starters on the NBA network. They are hipsters. They're sports hipsters.
Michael RapaportYou cannot be a serious basketball analyst if you never played the game
I just want to ask these fucking nerds. Like, did you ever play? ... If you are a basketball dude and you never played basketball, even in your heart of hearts, and you took it seriously, it's hard for me to take you seriously. Because anybody could play basketball, really, until any age.
Bad Visual
Big CatKirk Cousins will get a long-term contract because he looks the part of a quarterback
Do you know what Kirk has going for him? He looks the part. That's really what it is... That's why Matt Barkley is still in the league. That's why Jimmy Clausen is—throw them in a pair of shorts... they look good.
PFT CommenterMichigan State quarterbacks are guaranteed to receive huge contracts
Well, he's a Michigan State quarterback. I feel like you have to give a Michigan State quarterback a huge guaranteed contract. That's how it works.
Drunk Ideas
HankPlanes should have giant parachutes to prevent crash landings
I was watching the movie Sully... and I was just wondering, why don't planes just build parachutes so if that happens they can just parachute down and not have to worry about crash landing? Like inside the plane so it's like oh shit the engine's failed, pop parachute, safe.
