Recap
Big CatAny NBA coach who picks up their landline desk phone is a bad coach
I would fire Jason Kidd if I were the Bucks... what coach is at their desk just picking up their phone? Their landline. If you're an NBA coach and you've picked up your landline in the last 10 years, you're a bad coach.
PFT CommenterThe Yankees are the No. 1 team in the destiny power rankings
My guess is the Yankees. The Yankees, currently right now, if we're doing our team of destiny power rankings, they're clearly No. 1. The pinstripes are popping extra hot right now.
Big CatYou cannot have a championship drought if you have never won a title
The Astros, the Indians are the longest drought for Major League Baseball. Yes. For a championship. The Rangers are second longest. The Astros are third. The Rangers and the Astros have never won a World Series. Can you have a drought if you've never won a World Series? Because I say no.
Big CatKris Bryant was likely playing through an injury during the playoffs
Look for Kris Bryant to come out with maybe like a little surgery soon. A little hockey surgery. Clean up. He's been injured. That's what I'm saying... I'm going to say lower body. Yeah. He'll just get his ankle cleaned.
Explain It To Hank
Big CatClout is a drug that is cocaine-like but not addictive and has no hangover
Clout is like a drug that you only do when you're in Hollywood. You do clout, and you have the greatest party of all time... Clout is like, it's cocaine, but it's cleaner, and it's not addictive. It's not addictive, non-bad for you. No hangover.
Picks
Big CatI'm taking the Packers +4.5 at home against the Saints
I'm taking the Packers. Ooh, okay, I like that. Plus four and a half at home. Everyone loves the Saints. The Saints... Be careful, my friends.
PFT CommenterI'm taking the Eagles at home against the Redskins
I'm going to go with the Eagles at home against the R-Words. Ooh, Monday night.
Interview
Michael Rapaport85% of The Ringer's basketball podcasters are 'hipsters' who rely too much on stats
85% of the people that are on the Ringer podcast discussing basketball, they're hipsters. In terms of the stat, stat, stat... I want an eye test. I don't want geometry. Can you play or can you not play?
Michael RapaportBill Simmons' HBO show was 'trash' from the first interview
I did his HBO show, which I knew was trash. I knew which we all knew was trash from the first interview from the first person... I knew that when I watched the Simmons thing, everybody knew, because there was so much anticipation and hype, and because he left ESPN, you knew... yo, this is in deep shit.
Michael RapaportTobey Maguire is the worst basketball player I've ever seen
The worst basketball player I've ever seen is Tobey Maguire. That motherfucker. Stick to the poker tables, you nerd.
Michael RapaportBarstool Van Talk is already the best show on ESPN
I said to my man, I said, this is the best show on ESPN already. SVP is room for improvement. There's a lot of room for improvement. Keep it fucking real, Big Cat... No one wants to see any fucking highlights from a motherfucker in a suit at 11:30 at night.
