Recap
Big CatIf Andrew Luck was 100% healthy, Josh McDaniels would have taken the Colts job
I'll put it this way. If Andrew Luck was 100% healthy, then [Josh] McDaniels takes this job.
Big CatJosh McDaniels only stayed in New England because Tom Brady promised to play three more years
I don't think [Josh] McDaniels walks away from Indianapolis if Tom Brady doesn't say to him, 'I'm gonna stay for three more years.' [Josh] McDaniels would be the dumbest person in the world if Belichick's like, 'Yeah, I'm done next year,' and Brady's like, 'Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna play more than one year,' because then he would basically be [stuck].
Big CatBill Belichick letting Matt Patricia leave but keeping Josh McDaniels proves he thinks Patricia is a dummy
The other fallout is [Bill] Belichick must think Matt Patricia's a dummy because he's like, 'No, you go ahead. You're not going to be the coach of the New England Patriots when I leave. So you go ahead and don't even look back.'
Big CatIt is acceptable for Eagles fans to eat horse poop to celebrate their first Super Bowl
I actually stand with the guy who ate the poop. Because I think that's okay. When your team wins a Super Bowl and they've never won a Super Bowl and it's like the immediate euphoria, you are allowed to lose your mind. So I do not call that trash for Philly.
Big CatThe Eagles must keep Nick Foles because Carson Wentz might not be ready for the season
I think [the Eagles] should keep Nick Foles for the time being because who's to say Carson Wentz is going to be all of a sudden better in eight months? ... We've been kind of numb to the fact that ACL recoveries are still pretty intense... Carson Wentz is going to take a while.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatNow is the best time to buy Bitcoin
Isn't now the best time to buy Bitcoin? I'm going to buy more Bitcoin. That's the plan, right? You've got to reinvest. That's just investing 101.
Big CatMike Tice retiring because players 'don't want to be coached' just means he sucks at coaching
Mike Tice is going to retire, and he says it's because players no longer want to be coached... When you say that you're quitting your coaching job because players don't want to be coached, you're just saying, 'I suck at coaching.'
PFT CommenterCarson Wentz proposing to his girlfriend right after the Super Bowl was a smart move to protect his job
Did you see Carson Wentz propose to his girlfriend today too? ... That's actually really smart on Wentz's part because his job is being questioned by some people. And the person who may have taken your job [Nick Foles] also is packing an absolute unit. And so you have to lock that shit down.
Interview
Zach HarperIsaiah Thomas is a mole sent by Danny Ainge to mess up the Cleveland Cavaliers
I'm of the opinion that Isaiah Thomas is a mole. I think that he has been sent to the team... I think this was all worked out. I think it's a fake feud between him and Danny Ainge... We need you to go over there, mess them up, call out Kevin Love, because LeBron's going to be mad because that's his job to call out Kevin Love.
Zach HarperThe Cleveland Cavaliers are in serious trouble because they have the worst defense in the league
Up until this week, they had a worse defense than the Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns, who are actively trying to lose games. Cleveland is actually trying to win if they were that bad. So yeah, I do think they're in trouble because they can't defend anyone. And their offense, because Isaiah Thomas can't get a shot right now... isn't quite good enough.
Zach HarperThe Detroit Pistons might be a top three team in the Eastern Conference with Blake Griffin
They might have [become top three], because they don't have a ton of depth, but Blake Griffin is really good... between him and Andre Drummond actually carrying this season and a little bit of good coaching from Stan Van Gundy, Boston's up there... Detroit can get in there.
Zach HarperThe Milwaukee Bucks will win the Eastern Conference if they stay healthy
The Bucks, I'm going to go not fraud. Not fraud in the East because they got rid of Jason Kidd who was terrible... and Giannis is an alien. So if they get healthy, I actually think they go through the East and win. I think it's a lot like the 2007 Cavs where the East was very vulnerable and a young LeBron came through.
Zach HarperRussell Westbrook is the new Allen Iverson: an amazing individual player but not a team guy
I think he's going to end up being like kind of the new Iverson. Amazing individual player, great highlights, real fun, but not quite equipped for analytics... because he can't shoot threes. And so there will always be this inefficient tag to him. And he's just more of an individual than a team guy.
Charlie WeisBill Belichick's two best qualities are insight and foresight
There's two qualities that he by far stands apart from everyone else. And I call them insight and foresight. On insight, I mean on a daily and weekly basis, he's on top of everything all the time... and then foresight. Foresight he always seemed to be one step ahead of everybody else. He'd get rid of that guy that everyone still loved, but it was towards the end of his career, and then the next year they'd fall off the shelf.
Charlie WeisCurtis Martin and Brady Quinn were the best players I ever coached
Pros... I think Curtis Martin might have been the best player in the pros. [In college] might have been Brady Quinn. I mean, he played for me for two years and led the team to two BCS games. And he got hurt in his last game against LSU... He tears up his knee, he puts a brace on him and finishes the game.
