Recap
PFT CommenterGrabbing Mookie Betts' glove was the best use of $5,000 by a fan of all time
You go to that game and I saw people clowning 'em online saying you spent $5,000 for front row seats just to get kicked out. No, that's, that's maybe the most well spent $5,000 of all time for those guys. Yeah, they're, they're heroes.
Big CatThe two Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts are responsible for the Yankees winning Game 4
Those guys sparked the Yankees. Like I believe that those guys are responsible for this win in those bats waking up because basically the, all the Yankee fans sitting in, in Yankee stadium tonight were like, do something. And the Capobianco brothers are like, you know what? We'll do something.
PFT CommenterThe Colts had to bench Anthony Richardson because they were wasting a potential playoff season
The fact that you're so close in all these games, if you're the head coach, if you're Shane Steichen, you have to start [Flacco] because you're wasting what could be a playoff season. And also you also risk losing the locker room when all the other guys are dependent on the quarterback for their salary. They're not getting the ball, the offense isn't moving.
PFT CommenterThe Jets will not get any lower than they are right now
My theory is that they will not get any lower than they are right now. Like everyone's shitting on the jets. Everyone is shitting on the jets. Aaron Rodgers is drinking water with cayenne pepper in it. Pretty, I think it's, it's pretty low. It's been pretty low.
Big CatMike Tomlin is a top five coach in the NFL
I can't believe that I ever doubted Mike Tomlin again after coming to the conclusion that Mike Tomlin is a top five coach in the NFL. I know he doesn't won a playoff game in a very long time, but all he does is run a great locker room and have a competitive team every year.
Big CatThe Giants should sell everything at the trade deadline to extend the front office's job security
Should the Giants sell now? I think they should because Mr. Mara has already said, and I actually believe him that they're not gonna make any changes to the front office and coaching staff. So if you are the front office and you're not gonna get fired, why wouldn't you try to trade anything you can for draft picks and then extend your stay Because you're like, well we have draft picks And, we gotta see how they turn out.
PFT CommenterThe Steelers are one of the best teams in the AFC
I think that the Steelers are actually very good though. Yeah. I think what Russell Wilson's done to the offense... I think that the Steelers are one of the best teams in the AFC.
Big CatMatt Eberflus is entirely to blame for the Bears' loss to the Commanders
Basically all of this adds up to Matt Eberflus is to blame for this, which I came to that conclusion on Sunday night. But it's good to hear the players back it up. And then on top of all of that, we had a report just a couple hours ago that apparently Ben Johnson was interested in the Bears job last year.
College Football
Big CatMike Elko is a great football coach and was the right hire over a 'sexy' name
It's a great reminder though, for Texas A&M who did the Let's get Jimbo Fisher and pay him a hundred million dollars... sometimes in college football, Mike Elko was not the sexy hire. He's just a very good competent, like nuts and bolts football coach... Mike Elko is a fucking great football coach.
Big CatTravis Hunter is the best football player in the country and it shouldn't be up for debate
I think if you're just basing this off, who's the best football player? That's the criteria, right? Yeah. Who's the best football player in the country? Yeah. I don't think that it's up for debate.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankDoc Rivers is on the Hot Seat because the Bucks have no identity
My Hot Seat is Doc Rivers... They are one in three on the season 18 and 22 in the Doc Rivers era. Mm. And Giannis was talking in the post game and said, right now we don't have an identity... How are we gonna win the game? ... No identity's bad.

Faq
PFT CommenterThe Commanders' Super Bowl window is officially open right now
I don't think it's delusional to say that I am, I'm existing inside of a Super Bowl window right now. ... The window's cracked right now and I'm, I'm thinking about opening it up. There's a nice draft that's coming through.
