Recap
Big CatDion Sanders is Father of the Year for getting Shedeur mocked as a first-rounder when he was a fifth-round talent
Dion Sanders actually father of the year because he got his fourth round son mocked as a first rounder. Yeah. That's pretty crazy. You don't usually have that happen where a guy ends up going pick 1 44 is mocked in a lot of mocks is a first rounder. So credit to Dion.
PFT CommenterJoe Flacco will start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns over Deshaun Watson and Dylan Gabriel
I think that [Joe] Flacco might start week one. And Flacco is an big underdog to do that too. I think he was like, plus seven 50 last I checked. Yeah. So I, I like the quarterback room.
Big CatSteph Curry demolished and ruined the Houston Rockets franchise twice in two different eras
Steph Curry broke and demolished the rockets. The James Harden Rockets... The Rockets then bottomed out three years in a row... And guess who's still there demolishing these new rockets, Steph Curry. Yeah. It's very, that's so brutal. They literally went through an entire rebuild and the guy who who who, who tore them down the first time is still standing there tearing them down this time.
PFT CommenterThe Lakers vs. Timberwolves series is going seven games because Adam Silver wants LeBron's numbers
I think that this is gonna go to the distance though... I think that this is an Adam Silver situation. Oh, interest LeBron game seven numbers. If it goes seven, that means that LeBron is still the face of the league.
PFT CommenterMontreal's Bell Centre is the loudest sports building in the world, louder than LSU's Death Valley
That is the loudest building I've ever been in in my life. That is, that's louder than Death Valley. LSU on a Saturday night... I was amazed from, from the time I walked in until the time that I left. Like, they're pissed off. They're loud, they're super knowledgeable. It's crazy.
Who Is Back
Hank100 dedicated humans could easily defeat one gorilla in a fight
I think a hundred friends could be one gorilla. Everybody just gotta be dedicated to the shit. And that sparked a debate across the internet... I am firmly of the belief that a hundred people could easily be go a fight.
Interview
Peter SchragerThe Giants completely changed their negative reputation in just three days of the NFL Draft
The Giants have had the roughest reputational year that a team can imagine... And in the matter of three days, Joe Shane and Brian [Daboll] have completely changed a conversation around this team where like every Giants fan is like back on board and they're like, let's go.
Peter SchragerThe Falcons cannot keep Kirk Cousins as a backup with his current salary following the Michael Penix Jr. pick
I can't imagine the Falcons week one paying Kirk Cousins that salary and having Michael Penix be the starter... if you're the Falcons, you can't have that guy with that salary as much as they say it... that guy can't be on the ri, he's a great teammate in the whole thing and he showed up to Spring Camp, but you can't be paying him that number to be a backup.
Peter SchragerXavier Restrepo will be the #3 receiver for the Titans and record 60 catches as an undrafted rookie
I watched a lot of Miami. I don't understand [how he didn't get drafted]... That guy makes a play every single time they throw it to him... Isaiah [Xavier] Restrepo is gonna be like the number three receiver and he'll have 60 catches and he'll be a great NFL player.
Stavros HalkiasSeason 1 Tony Soprano is the hottest man who has ever lived
Season one Tony [Soprano] is the hottest man ever that's ever lived, dude. Like the, and that's all I want. The girls who wanted to fuck him, that's who I want to fuck me. That's how I live my life.
Stavros HalkiasThe NBA needs to cut its regular season in half and own specific days of the week
The NBA needs to be half the games. Yep. And they need to pick like, you know, Wednesday or Thursday and Sunday or something like that. Own one day of the week... it breaks my heart that basketball is just hard to follow when you have responsibilities.
Stavros HalkiasLamar Jackson will win a Super Bowl and is effectively the 'Cooler Peyton Manning'
I'm not worried about it whatsoever. He's [Lamar Jackson] gonna win a Super Bowl... I'll just, I mean I, the comp I keep making is just Peyton Manning. He's cooler Peyton Manning. He's fucking electric in the regular season.
