Recap
PFT CommenterBen McAdoo benching Eli Manning for Geno Smith is performance art
If you have fucked up your job so badly that Geno Smith is the answer to whatever your problem is... that is performance art. It is hilarious to me. So Ben McAdoo, I know you probably didn't mean to screw up this badly, but thank you for doing it.
PFT CommenterEli Manning will go to Denver and win a Super Bowl
Here's my prediction. You ready for this? A Manning family tradition. Goes to Denver. Wins the Super Bowl.
Big CatThe CFP committee got the rankings exactly right
I actually think they got it exactly right. I think Wisconsin should be four. I think Alabama should be five. And that, like, Ohio State, Miami, like, it feels like all those teams, they could probably leapfrog, but they're outside looking in. Like, that's exactly where they should be.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankLacrosse is booming and the sales are up
My cool throne is lacrosse. Nike chairman Phil Knight, he was commenting on the Duke Florida game the other day, and he said, lacrosse is growing. So the sales are up. They're growing, not a show. Business is booming.
Big CatBitcoin is the future and will replace physical money
You think that the dollar bill's in your pocket right now? You think they're going to last forever? You think money's going to last forever? Okay, so Bitcoin's the future, baby. There's not going to be money in the future. There's going to be Bitcoin.
Interview
Pat McAfeeI do not miss football even one percent
Do you miss football at all? No, not even one percent. No. So I very much flipped the switch into not being in the football schedule right? I very much fell out of love with the schedule of being an NFL player.
Pat McAfeeTrent Richardson was not a good NFL player and only got drafted for his speed
Trent Richardson. Oh, that's two first-rounders. People don't know that. He's worth two first-rounders. Future Hall of Famer. Yeah, future Hall of Famer... He zigged every fucking time. Just a zag one time would have been nice for us.
Coaching Carousel
Big CatCollege football has lost its mind if Arizona State hires Herm Edwards
College football has officially lost its mind. When Herm Edwards gets involved, college football has officially lost its mind.
PFT CommenterFlorida State is a much better program than Texas A&M
Isn't Florida State a much better football program? Why would you leave Florida State to go to A&M?
Protect The Shield
Big CatRoger Goodell has lost control of the NFL if teams can refuse to wear Color Rush
If Roger Goodell can't make teams wear color rush, then he has lost the NFL... He has absolutely no power whatsoever. If the NFL owners are savaging him and just going against his wishes, the inmates are running the prison.
Lebron Blames
Big CatLeBron James got ejected from a blowout to stat pad and hit the showers early
LeBron got thrown out for the first time in his career for using foul language, complaining about a call in the fourth quarter of a blowout win. Why would he even care at that point? Stat padding? Question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark.
Road Trip Qa
Big CatIf you don't take a football road trip in college, you ruined your experience
If you were in college right now and listening to this... if you don't take a road trip with all your friends to an away football game, you have ruined your own college experience. That's the best time.
