Thoughts And Prayers
PFT CommenterRussell Wilson 'invented' the concept of letting time pass to cure a concussion
Russell Wilson invented just how to make time pass. He was just like, here's how you get rid of your concussion. Ready?... Drink five cups of water a day. And in six days, you're going to feel better... and in six days, I will have cured you. So water cures sunburns and concussions.
Big CatJames Harden didn't just break Wesley Johnson's ankles, he snatched his soul by making the shot
It's so cocky because I think we all agree, if James Harden misses that shot... the soul-taking doesn't take place. It's just an ankle-breaking. When you make the shot, it's a soul snatch. And so James Harden was so cocky and just like, I'm just going to stand here for an extra beat.
PFT CommenterJosh Allen will break the NFL by throwing a ball 90 yards at his pro day
Somebody on the NFL Network just said that Josh Allen is going to throw the ball 90 yards at his pro day... You know what? Is he going to break the NFL? Yeah, don't even let receivers run routes for him. Just have him stand back and just throw the ball as hard as he can like 10 or 20 times in a row.
Recap
Big CatThe NFL Combine is just a giant excuse for the entire league to get drunk in Indianapolis
Well, what we realized, too, is the Combine is basically an entire fraud operation so that everyone can come to Indianapolis and get drunk. Yeah, because when you break it down, the athletes that they're scouting, they've already scouted in detail... Why are they having everyone get into underwear and run on turf in Indianapolis? Oh, it's because Indianapolis is the one city in America where every bar is connected to a hotel and has a steakhouse.
Big CatJosh Allen might go number one overall because of our draftjoshallen.com campaign
I said it on Wednesday's show, but I think with what we're doing for Josh Allen, he might sneak in and get all the way up to number one. He might. Just from us.
Stay Woke
PFT CommenterMLB baseballs have been juiced since the 2015 All-Star break
Nate Silver's website... Went and x-rayed baseballs from the year 2014 and 2015. And baseballs in 2015 had different cores after the All-Star break. And that's when the power surge started to happen. That carried into 2016, 2017.
Brain Dump
HankLas Vegas hotels should build CamelBak hoses into the walls next to beds for hungover guests
Everyone's been so drunk that the next morning... you realize that you are so thirsty that you could basically drink the entire ocean... so this is more of an idea for Vegas... they need to build those camelback hoses into the wall and just so they pop out right underneath your bed. So you can just wake up, open your mouth, and then you just squeeze it.
PFT CommenterA signature on an item technically turns it into an open-ended contract worth infinity
I have the answer for you. It's because whatever you sign, that technically becomes a contract at that point. So if I hand you a piece of paper with my signature on it, you could, after the fact, go and fill in a contract above my signature. So it's actually worth infinity.
PFT CommenterThere should be a 'Paperboy' style app where food trucks throw pre-made burgers out the window to drunk people
So my drunk idea is... You guys remember that video game Paperboy?... it's a slow creeping car that just drives up and down busy like bar streets... you hit the button and you order like a burger. They just roll down the window and toss it. They have pre-made burgers, pre-made hot dogs, pre-made pizzas, and they just throw it out the window.
Big CatHigh-end restaurants are doing it wrong by not having pictures of the food on the menu
What would you guys say is the one thing that tells you a restaurant is classy?... It is pictures on the menu, so you know what the food looks like. So I went to a really classy dinner last Friday, and they didn't have pictures on the menu... they need to have a picture option. So it's like a Denny's or an IHOP, but you're eating at a Michelin-rated restaurant.
Interview
Big CatMeryl Streep is the Derek Jeter of acting — she gets nominated just on name recognition alone
Is Meryl Streep the new Derek Jeter? Is Meryl Streep just getting voted into the All-Star game out of name alone?... Her range isn't what it used to be. When you lose your range, it goes quickly. And you know what? She won't change positions either.
Blake BortlesWinston Churchill beating Hitler is essentially 'stolen valor' for an actor playing him
[Gary Oldman is Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour]... yeah, he beat Hitler. Yeah. You know what? Isn't that stolen valor, though? If you dress up like the guy that beat Hitler, you're taking credit for that.
PFT CommenterDunkirk will win Best Picture because the Oscars love movies about British history
I'll go with Dunkirk because I feel like the Oscars loves picking movies there no one talks [about]. God they love picking those. I'm going Dunkirk as well.
Blake BortlesI will win at least one Super Bowl before I retire
[Big Cat mentions Pete Prisco predicted Bortles wins one Super Bowl] Wow. Yeah. You heard it from Pete first. [Bortles agreeing with the sentiment of the conversation].
Canelo AlvarezI am going into the rematch with Triple G with the mindset of knocking him out
I'm going with the same mentality as he is. I'm going in with the mentality of knocking him out. So we can only wait and see.
Gennady GolovkinI clearly beat Canelo Alvarez in our first fight
You know, I was doing my job, I hit him more, and the computer showed that, and the judges showed that, so that's all I have to say.
