Recap
Big CatThe Kings will beat the Warriors, but then the Lakers will eliminate them to cause maximum pain
They're gonna beat the Warriors in this series. It's gonna be a great story. The first team to take down the Warriors, the Lakers are then gonna beat them and it's gonna be all the bad memories from all the from that series and everything is gonna get brought back up. It's perfectly set up for a team to like capture the Hearts of America and then the Lakers to basically have us relive the worst moment in King's history.
MaxPlayoff James Harden is dead
My take of playoff James Harden is dead, died last night cuz he was so bad. I was so excited after Saturday and then last night, I mean he like didn't even belong on the court.
HankIf Robert Williams stays healthy, the Celtics will win the championship
Robert Williams is playing like he's healthy, active. It's always scary with him... if he stays healthy, good things are coming.
PFT CommenterSoul patches are making a huge comeback this summer
I think the soul patch is the right move. I think soul patches are making a huge comeback. I think one of you guys should lead the charge on that... it's gonna be Soul patch summer.
Big CatAdrian Peterson will sign with the Indianapolis Colts in 2023
I fully expect Adrian Peterson to be on the Colts next year. Which makes so much sense. Like I could see it in my head him backing up Jonathan Taylor and just being like, fuck this, why aren't I getting my carries?
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankAI robots will take over and kill everyone within a month
I'm fully convinced, I figured I should just get it on record that probably within like a month, AI is going to build robots, take over the world and we're all gonna die.
Billy FootballMalik Murphy is the real sleeper in the Texas QB battle and has the best arm on the team
In reality in the UT quarterback competition, there was a big dark horse sleeper that no one saw coming in Malik Murphy... I think has the best arm out of any of the quarterbacks on the team. Quinn Ewers did have an amazing day... but this Malik Murphy guy just was throwing bombs out there.
Interview
Michael RubinThe 76ers will win the NBA championship this year
The second I sold, I went out and said the Sixers are winning the championship this year. I fully believe that's happening. I think it was my sale of the ownership that motivated everybody to play that much harder.
Michael RubinJosh Harris will successfully buy the Washington Commanders
I believe that Josh will get this done. That's my prediction. I believe that Josh will get this done... and I'm rooting for him. He grew up in Washington. I think he'll be a really good owner of that team.
Michael RubinThe Buffalo Bills winning a Super Bowl would be the biggest merchandise market for Fanatics
What you generally look for is teams with great heritage that haven't won for a long time. The Buffalo Bills would be spectacular for business. Because they have great heritage... think about everyone who grew up in Buffalo who has any connectivity in Buffalo. Every one of them would buy $500 in merchandise.
Michael RubinThere should be a maximum age of 65 for the US Presidency
I firmly believe this. If there's one rule that should be put in place right now... there needs to be an age max. You cannot be president past 65 for the first term... you'd have sharper people that could be more aggressive. I want the leader of our country to be a great leader but be able to really affect change.
