Recap
Big CatThe IOC and NBC are idiots for not letting people share Olympic clips online
The IOC in their infinite wisdom... doesn't want anyone sharing any Olympic clips, pictures, anything, because God forbid anyone talks about the Olympics and these random sports that you stumble upon... I can't understand... why tweeting a 20-second clip of a random sport like handball... is something they want to stop.
Big CatThe Wisconsin Badgers could win the Olympic gold medal in basketball
I really do think that the Wisconsin Badgers could win the gold medal because it does feel like that's the style of basketball [in the Olympics]. I was actually thinking that probably the worst NBA team would have a better chance at winning the title than this group right now.
PFT CommenterOlympic fencing should use sharper swords to make it more dangerous
I think they should have sharper swords and fencing. Like give me an element of danger. It should be death, death, death, but like maiming.
Big CatAaron Rodgers' 'Last Dance' post means he's playing one more year just to lose in the NFC Championship
He puts up a picture of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen... which I guess they're trying to say the 'Last Dance', which would mean they would both show up. But then what is the 'Last Dance' for Aaron Rodgers? Losing in the NFC Championship game? Like what, they are not going for their sixth title. 'Let's run this back one more time where we disappoint everybody'.
Billy FootballThe New York Yankees should fire Aaron Boone
I think we should fire him. ... You let him throw the third wild pitch? Like the first two, like take him out. Like the guy definitely was not in any position to be on that mound.
Who Is Back
PFT CommenterThe Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez relationship is a fake publicity stunt
It's fake love because it's all publicity stunt. The fact that they're remaking old pictures, they don't actually love each other. Imagine doing this, imagine having a relationship that is all for the tabloids... it's disgusting.
PFT CommenterThe Utah Jazz is the dumbest team name in sports
The Utah Jazz, it's the dumbest name in sports. It really [is]. ... If it was just the Boston Red Sox, the Knickerbockers... so many team names you're like, 'this doesn't make any sense'.
Interview
Pat ConnaughtonThe 2021 Bucks championship was one of the hardest NBA titles to win ever
I mean, look, we played the Brooklyn Nets in the second round. They've got three superstars... and it was definitely one of, if not the hardest. We started off with a team that we owed revenge to [Miami], and the Atlanta Hawks are a good young team... and the Phoenix Suns are obviously a great team.
Mount Rushmore
PFT CommenterI could medal in Olympic handball because it is just gym class
I thought the easy first pick is handball. I absolutely can medal in handball. It really is the gym class of the Olympics. All you'd have to do is just do band workouts for your shoulder to develop like an 80 mile an hour fastball... I'm not going to ever lose to Croatia in this sport.
Big CatI could medal in curling because I like cleaning
My first pick is going to be curling. I think if you just gave me four years, I could figure it out every single day. I like shuffleboard, I like ice, I like being slightly overweight... and broom guy, the broom guy seems like it's like—I love cleaning.
HankI could medal in pole vaulting if I trained for four years
I will go with pole vaulting. You just run, stick the stick... All you got to do is run straight and get the timing down. I'm going to be jacked by August.
Billy FootballI could medal in Equestrian sports because the horse does the work
This one, you actually don't have to be athletic at all, but a question in sports... you can train a horse, you don't actually have to be that good. ... It's new team names. The horse does the work.
PFT CommenterI could medal in Olympic ski jumping by just going 'full send' once
I'm going to go with ski jumping. I'll just bomb it once and just go full send... and just land and crash and I'll have the longest one. ... I can stand perfectly still for about 10 seconds while I'm going downhill... and then you just do like one of those little springs at the last second.
