Recap
Big CatAuburn's loss to Virginia is the worst possible way to lose a Final Four game
Auburn, I would say that might be the worst possible way to lose a Final Four game of all time... hitting three free throws in that situation, that's the shit you do in your backyard, and you miss two out of three, and you're like, all right, redo. He was money on all three. And Auburn, I would say that might be the worst possible way to lose a Final Four game of all time.
PFT CommenterKyle Guy is making a strong case for the Jim Nance Tie Player of the Year
He is making a hard case for the Jim Nance tie player of the year. I think if it's not Kyle Guy, I think even if UVA loses the national championship, Jim Nance is going to find a way to get him that tie.
Big CatKirk Cousins is an average quarterback who doesn't motivate anyone
Kirk Cousins also gave the pregame speech which is perfectly Kirk Cousins. It was, it didn't motivate a single person and I honestly don't think like Michigan State like didn't lose the game as much as Texas Tech was just so fucking good.
Big CatTexas Tech will win the National Championship
I think Texas Tech is going to win... I think Texas Tech is going to win, and that's because I drank my strawberry banana [Body Armor] right when I woke up, so my brain is firing on all cylinders.
PFT CommenterThe Jets should release new, shittier uniforms every year to match the state of the franchise
The Jets should almost come out with new shittier versions of their uniform every year because that goes right along with the state of the franchise. And it's probably if you can get the people talking about how bad your uniforms are, that's a great distraction for the Jets.
Who Is Back
Big CatPaul Pierce is making himself look overrated by actively claiming he's better than Dwyane Wade
Paul Pierce made the ultimate error where Paul Pierce is the perfect guy that if he just kind of stays under the radar, everyone will say, hey, you know who's better than people give him credit for? Paul Pierce. But when he says he's like actively says he's better than someone, people will roast him... now you've done the reverse. And everyone's like, Paul Pierce was overrated.
PFT CommenterPaul Pierce's career ceiling was Dwyane Wade with arthritis
I think at the height of Paul Pierce's career, he was still like Dwyane Wade with arthritis. That was his ceiling.
HankCountry Trap is back and here to stay
Country Trap is back and it's going to stay around for a while... All I'm saying is we talked about it on the show and now [Lil Nas X] is number one and number three on the charts.
Interview
Shawn MarionThe '7 seconds or less' Suns actually played good defense, but it was overshadowed by their scoring
We did play defense. That's the sad [part]. It got overshadowed because we were scoring so much... I think especially some guys play horrible individual defenders but great team defenders... Steve [Nash] was a great—he wasn't the best on-ball defender, but he's a great team defender.
Shawn MarionThe 2006 Suns were better than the 2007 team that everyone thinks should have won the title
Everybody speculates thinking [2007] was the year we should have won the championship... I don't. [The year before that] was better... I was physically, mentally drained because I was going from Sam Cassell to Elden Brand and Chris Kaman. From Kobe to Lamar to Ron Artest... Then I had to go against Dirk. My body was shut. I was tired. I was dead tired.
Shawn MarionLeBron James shows his teammates up too much on the court
I think he shows his teammates up a little bit too much on the court. You know, and, you know, that's just part of him. I mean, you know, he kind of feel like he earned that. And I mean, that's him... but that's one of the things I don't like he does.

Big CatThe Steelers will be better after trading Antonio Brown
I'm at the point where I'm going full-on addition by subtraction. The Steelers are going to be better without Antonio Brown.
