Recap
Big CatUsing leverage to protest for change is the most American thing you can do
I'll always support the right to protest in this country. Being able to use your leverage and power to protest to try to enact change is kind of the most American thing you can do in my mind personally. It's why this country so great is that you have the ability to say, I don't agree with something, I want to change something.
Big CatSports will never return to a state where players don't use their leverage for political activism
I don't think it's ever going to go back to players not using their leverage in terms of getting into political arguments or political discussions or activism or that sort of thing. So at this point it's like you can either stop watching sports entirely or you can just kind of accept that this is going to be the new normal. You're putting your head in the sand if you think that it's ever going to go back to more of the way it was when these two things didn't interact as much.
Fyre Fest
Big CatSir Yacht's reporting on the Big Ten is completely fabricated
Sir Yacht is a choose-your-own-adventure source. He's wrong all the time, a hundred percent of the time. He pretty much makes it up. But if you want to live in a fantasy land like I do, listen to Sir Yacht and ignorance is bliss in this respect. I do love the fact that like twice a week the Big Ten comes back.
Interview
Shams CharaniaNBA games will likely resume by Saturday following the protest
My sense is, the games will either begin Friday or Saturday. It's seeming more and more like Saturday because you want to give maybe these guys one more day of self-care and really practice for some of these teams.
Documentary Review
Big CatThe 'Bigger Than Ben' documentary is just a love letter to Roethlisberger's own pain tolerance
It was a love story to his wife, to his own pain tolerance, I would say. And then also I didn't understand the beginning when he was talking about all the haters and it's like who is really hating Ben? ... It was essentially the 'hey we need to remind everyone that Ben's the toughest' quote.
Big CatBen Roethlisberger will gain 40 pounds by October
Can we make a documentary of me in a t-shirt right now so I can like memorialize this period in my life before I put on 40 more pounds in October? And he will be, like you said earlier, bigger than Ben now.
