Intro
Recap
Big CatDak Prescott is not worth $40 million per year
I don't think he's worth 40 million dollars. And I think that you probably have to sit down, Dak, and be like, dude, I know that you want this much money, but would you rather this much money or maybe win a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys?
PFT CommenterThe Cowboys should pay Dak Prescott $75 million per year
As not a Dallas Cowboys fan, I hope they pay Dak as much money as possible. 70. 75. Okay. Fuck it. Deal. Full send.
Big CatAndrew Luck's injury might be way worse than reported
Andrew Luck has a weird random injury that might keep him out for a lot longer than everyone expects. Calf strain has turned into a high ankle issue... That's like being like, oh yeah, my sniffles turned into the flu.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankMichael Porter Jr.'s spine is made of dust
My hot seat is Michael Porter Jr. You guys remember him? Remember he's in the NBA? Has yet to play a minute. His spine is made of dust.
PFT CommenterNFL teams should be allowed to give one rookie a monk haircut as team building
I think that you should be allowed to give one rookie a monk. Yes, yes, I agree. That's not hazing, that's team building. That's funny. Big difference. If it's funny, it's not hazing.
Big CatHome Depot is the ultimate masculine experience if you don't ask for help
I successfully went to Home Depot and got what I needed without asking anyone. And there's no better feeling in the world. You feel like the manliest man that's ever walked Earth. It took me about 25 minutes to find the wood glue, but I did it.
Mount Rushmore
Interview
Matt LaFleurI don't think you can put an age on leadership
I don't think you can put any type of age on leadership. I saw Sean [McVay] firsthand and I thought he did as good a job as anybody I've been around in terms of getting the respect and the command from the team.
Matt LaFleurThe Packers will have zero tolerance for fighting in training camp
No tolerance there... zero tolerance at all. You fight you're out. Just for the day. And don't get me wrong, skirmishes are going to happen. You don't want to see haymakers being thrown, especially when it's your own teammate.
Matt LaFleurThe Packers will utilize the fullback position as a weapon this year
Danny [Vitale]'s been awesome. We want to be able to run everything out of 21 personnel. And a lot of teams don't see that anymore. So it is a little bit of an advantage, especially if you get a guy that can catch the ball out of the backfield.
Matt LaFleurPass interference review rules might actually favor the defense
Honestly, I think it could be an advantage from a defensive perspective, considering that all scoring plays are under automatic review. And you see a lot of rub or pick plays down in that red area. So it could actually help the defense.
Guys On Chicks
PFT CommenterBill Simmons genuinely wants to stop the union at The Ringer
There's a part of me that thinks that what Dave was doing part edge stick today is exactly what Bill Simmons wants to do for real. Bill Simmons lucked into this day because holy shit.
