Recap
PFT CommenterWeek 3 is the week we officially find out which NFL teams are frauds
There's a lot of frauds. And week three is who we find out. That's when we know who the frauds are.
Big CatCollege football is more exciting than the NFL, but it isn't 'better than' the NFL
Saying something is better than is not exactly correct in this case because, yes, college football is more exciting, but it's not better than. I mean, the guys aren't playing defense half the time. People are wide open. The windows are wide open.
Big CatThe Giants will win Monday Night Football against the Lions by a score of 12-10
And now all we get is Lions and the Giants. And the Giants, Eli's going to fucking throw the ball into the ground 100 times. And the Giants are going to win like 12 to 10.
Who Is Back
PFT CommenterMatthew McConaughey was meant to be a Californian who happened to be born in Texas
The danger in bringing Matthew McConaughey to Los Angeles is at any given time you might lose him. He might just defect... his natural state is like a caliber [Californian]... He was meant to be caliber. He was just he happened to be born on like a lot of land.
Big CatCheating on your wife shouldn't count as cheating if you are under 5'5"
If you're under 5'5", I don't think it's cheating. Yeah, you're fulfilling your natural destiny at that point. You're just shocked that a woman pays attention to you.
PFT CommenterFullbacks are officially back in a big way in the NFL
Fullbacks are back in a big way... I think it might be confirmation bias, but I've been noticing fullbacks more and more. Specifically, Derek Coleman, the fullback for the Falcons.
Football Guy Of The Week
PFT CommenterKyle Shanahan is the most likely coach to be the first one ejected under new NFL rules
I think a sneaky one is Kyle Shanahan because, one, he's a dick. Number two, he's got that entitlement thing, or at least the refs will think he's got that entitlement thing. So if he says one thing that crosses the line, they'll be like, I'm going to teach you a lesson.
Interview
Mike FlorioJerry Jones is intentionally stalling Roger Goodell's contract to force him out by 2019
And there are some who think that what he's really trying to do is drive such a hard bargain with Roger Goodell that Goodell just eventually says, screw it, I'm out of here when my contract expires in 2019.
Mike FlorioThe Bears should start Mitch Trubisky now because the season is already lost
At some point, you just kind of say, screw it. You know, this season is lost, so let's just treat it like an extended preseason for next season.
Mike FlorioThe Bengals are the most likely 0-2 team to turn it around and make the playoffs
Out of those, I would say the Bengals... If they get Kaepernick, then put the Bengals in.
Mike FlorioTom Brady says he'll play until 45 to avoid a public farewell tour
I think he never wants his last year to be known as his last year. I don't think he ever wants to have a Derek Jeter farewell tour... by keeping that stake as far out into the future as possible, he'll never be in a season that anyone would say this is his last year.
Mike FlorioTeddy Bridgewater will play for the Vikings before the 2017 season ends
I don't know what in the hell they're expecting at this point. So I think, yeah, we'll see Bridgewater before the end of the year on the field.
Hurt Or Injured
Big CatSam Bradford is the first player who isn't 'injured', he is just always hurt
He's [Bradford] not injured. He he's just, injured all the time. He's just always hurt. Yeah, so then you come home after a day of darting and you're like, I'm not drunk. I'm fine... That's what Sam Bradford's knee is. It's the new normal.
Sabermetrics
HankAndrew Luck is the NFL's version of Derrick Rose
Andrew Luck, by the way, is now... He's, like, almost, he's not Derrick Rose, but, like, there's that semblance of, like, he could just have a random surgery at any moment without an injury happening
Stay Woke
Big CatStatCast is a complete hoax and is likely just one guy making up numbers
StatCast is the fakest, fraudest thing ever... Every fucking time, it's just like a ball's hit hard. Oh, it was 119 exit velocity with an angle of 47... It's literally a guy—sitting somewhere probably in like Arizona it's Nate Silver... he's just watching games he's like okay that looked like a hard hit ball 108 miles an hour.
