Recap
PFT CommenterI officially called the Browns being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs back in August
I actually broke that news back in August. The second they announced RG3 as their starting quarterback... I said, okay, they've just clinched last place in the AFC. They've clinched the first draft pick, and they're mathematically eliminated right now.
Who Is Back
Big CatRussell Wilson is a bizarre human being who would be in a mental institution if he weren't an athlete
The person who woke him up every hour and a half, the voodoo people, the hypnotist, the concussion water, the strength coach... he's just a bizarre human being... if he wasn't an exceptional athlete and he did all this shit, he would probably be in a mental institution.
Big CatSnow football is the key to driving NFL ratings back up
I think that this is absolutely the key to driving ratings back up is get a couple snow games in people will watch snow football all day.
Football Guy Of The Week
Big CatNick Saban would actually kill a reporter on camera if it didn't stop him from coaching the next week
Nick Saban actually would kill a reporter, I think, on camera. If he could still coach next week, if he could coach in the Iron Bowl, even though he killed a reporter at halftime, he would do it.
PFT CommenterBen McAdoo is a watered-down fraud of a football guy
Ben McAdoo seems like he's trying real hard as a first-year head coach to be a football guy. I think he's overextending himself a little bit. He sounds like a fraud. He's like a watered-down football guy.
PFT CommenterBill Belichick 100% pays attention to metrics but acts like he doesn't for his brand
He absolutely pays attention to metrics. 100% he does, but he acts like he doesn't. So he's playing a double mind game... he's like I'm going to make them think that I'm even more of a football guy than I really am when behind the scenes I've got my spreadsheets set out.
Interview
Morgan CoxButch Jones has Tennessee football headed in the right direction
I love Butch Jones, and he's building the program. It's headed in the right direction... We've planted a lot of seeds, but hopefully one's going to catch on pretty soon.
Morgan CoxJoe Flacco is an elite quarterback and I have a Super Bowl ring to prove it
Is he elite or what? I mean, yeah. I've got a Super Bowl ring to prove it.
Kicker Psychiatrist
PFT CommenterKickers are the most psychologically weak people in the world
The problem is we put the most psychologically weak people in a place to do it. Kickers are the most psychologically weak. So we need to put people with stronger minds to become kickers.
PFT CommenterNFL teams should just go for two every single time they score a touchdown
Is there any reason why teams shouldn't just go for two every time? No, not at all. Just go for two every time... isn't 50% of two greater than 97% of one?
Stay Woke
Big CatThe NFL and Roger Goodell are making kickers miss extra points to save money on charitable donations
The NFL donates $1,000 to the three core nonprofit partners for every point scored. Roger Goodell... is trying to save a little coin. The NFL ratings are hurting... How can we cut some costs so I don't have to fire you guys on Christmas Eve? We'll get some kickers to miss some extra points. Boom. $11,000 saved today.
Sabermetrics
PFT CommenterJacksonville cannot beat teams that are named after big cats
Jacksonville has lost seven straight games to teams that are named after big cats, just like the Jaguars. So it's one of those situations where Superman can beat anybody, but he can't beat Kryptonite because he's from Kryptonite.
Big CatTwitter is a perfect representation of what is going on in the world and decides major decisions
Twitter decides major, major important decisions. Twitter is a really good testament to what is going on in the world. Right. Great representation. Everything that everyone's exactly.
Just Chill Out Man
PFT CommenterEvery quarterback is born with a set number of wins in their body and Aaron Rodgers used his up too early
Every quarterback has a set number of wins that's in their body by the time they hit the NFL... you're born with that number, and then once you lose them all, then guess what? They're gone forever. So Rodgers won too many games too early.
Hmm

Big CatI'm jumping on the Cowboys train and betting on them for Thanksgiving, which means they'll probably lose
How long am I going to keep doubting the Dallas Cowboys? They're now nine and one against the spread... I'm going to bet on them Thanksgiving Day. And they're going to get, I don't know if they'll lose, but they're not going to cover the spread.
PFT CommenterDak Prescott picking up his Gatorade cup proves he is a classy young man
How about Dak Prescott showing his leadership by picking up the cup of Gatorade that he tried to throw away? It's just a class act, a precocious, classy young man.
