Who Is Back
PFT CommenterI could beat DK Metcalf in a five-yard dash
I was actually talking to Billy earlier about this. You think I could be DK [Metcalf] to five yard dash? ... You guys don't know how sprinting works... I can just take a step. Yeah. That's your steps as well. You guys don't know how sprinting works.
Interview
Daniel JeremiahKenny Pickett will have a career similar to Alex Smith or Ryan Tannehill
I think Pickett feels like, I feel like he's got a high, a high floor. He's kind of like, if you're looking at what he can be, I think of a guy like Alex Smith, the career that he had, I could see Pickett having that type of a career. You know, Tannehill, Alex Smith.
Daniel JeremiahThe Saints will not draft a quarterback in the first round
I don't think New Orleans is taking one [a QB]. I know they acquired the extra first round pick, but everything I've kind of heard you go out and you sign Andy Dalton and you've already got Jameis. Like you're going to end up probably having to release one of those guys. If you draft a quarterback, she probably not going to carry three. So that, that doesn't make as much sense for them.
Daniel JeremiahAidan Hutchinson is the best player in the 2022 NFL Draft
I just keep going back to the fact like you just got off the Urban Meyer rollercoaster, like let's just take, take Aidan Hutchinson, just put it right in the middle of the fairway here. ... I think he's the best player in the draft personally.
Daniel JeremiahAlabama's Will Anderson Jr. is way better than any defensive end in the 2022 draft
I can tell you after having done this for 20 years, that the defensive man from Alabama [Will Anderson] is an absolute freak show. And he's way better than anybody in this draft class. Not even close, he just jumps off the screen.
Daniel JeremiahGarrett Wilson is the best wide receiver in the 2022 class
I love Garrett Wilson from Ohio State. I just think he does everything... he's one of those guys. You can play him outside. You can play him inside. He's got real speed... and he plays that way, but he's strong. To me he's my top guy.
Daniel JeremiahBaker Mayfield will be traded by the end of draft weekend
I'm going to say that actually, I'm going to say Baker does. I'm going to say Baker does [get traded]. I could see Baker and Carolina for a pick next year though, that that wouldn't surprise me.
Billy Deep Dive
Billy FootballTesla is the only electric car company
Musk responded: 'Sorry, but I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change.' ... They're [Tesla] the only electric car company actually.
Big CatBill Gates could not hit a slow-pitch softball
Do you think Bill Gates could hit a slow pitch softball? No, that makes me feel good. No. ... Let me let me get a little fucking 10, 10 foot arch on his ass. He won't, he won't be able to hit that.

PFT CommenterOnce you hit your 30s, you are never going to experience ten days with no pain
The rule is 10 days with no pain [for Ben Simmons to return]. I got news for you, buddy. Once you hit your thirties, you're never going to experience 10 days with no pain. It's just constant pain.
Big CatJason Tatum is as good as Kevin Durant right now in their respective careers
I thought that going into it, when we talked to Russillo, I was like, everyone's talking about Kevin Durant. Is there a chance that Jayson Tatum is just as good as Kevin Durant right now in their respective careers? Cause obviously Kevin Durant's a little older, a lot of injuries. Like this series, [Tatum] has been the better player. Not even, that's not even debatable offensive and defense.
Big CatGrayson Allen officially owns my life
Grayson Allen is my daddy. There's nothing more. So the Bucks is, he owns me. He owns my life... Grayson Allen owns me. I there's nothing more. I can say.
PFT CommenterYou cannot win an NBA championship when your best player is a primary ball-handling guard
I'm not ha—I don't know if I believe it, but I'm ready for it. I might be more of the mindset of like, you can't win a championship when your best player is a guard. Yeah. Like is a primary ball handler. Yeah. But then the Golden State Warriors might fuck me up on that one a little bit.
