Recap
Big CatI'm not betting any over-unders in the NCAA Tournament this year
I've decided that I'm not going to bet any over-unders in the March Madness tournament. I had the realization that I lose all my money just betting overs because that's all I do. I never bet unders.
PFT CommenterSomeone will eventually make a career out of just rewording Adam Schefter tweets
Some people are going to be really successful. There are going to be some people that make a career off of doing that [rewording other people's tweets] the best, and they'll eventually work their way to the top if they fake it long enough. The person who's going to be the best at marketing themselves doing that is going to be like a legitimate news source in 15 years.
Big CatMichigan State will be the most-picked non-one seed in Final Fours this year
Michigan State is a non-number one seed that could make some noise. Everyone will pick them in the Final Four now because you don't want to be the guy who goes all number one. So you're like, 'oh, yeah, I didn't go all number ones. I did Michigan State.'
Big CatColin Kaepernick wanting to play for the Browns is proof he's being kidnapped
Someone's kidnapped Colin Kaepernick. There's no way his brain got to the point where that's such rock bottom to say, 'oh, yeah, please trade me to the Cleveland Browns.'
Interview
Sam DekkerDon't bet on teams playing on the road at Under Armour schools
If you're betting on a team on the road at an Under Armour school, don't bet on them because you can't shoot with those balls... Wilson [is] all Wilson [in the tournament], and those are the easiest balls to shoot.
Sam DekkerBet the over on NCAA tournament games because Wilson balls are easy to shoot
[Wilson balls] are the easiest balls to shoot. [Big Cat: So you're saying I should take the over?] Take the over.
Sam DekkerVirginia will win the 2016 National Championship
I think Virginia [is the champion]. They're so tough. I watched them the other night, and obviously they didn't win the ACC championship, but I just think they have a good... they're a team I want to see, either Virginia or Michigan State.

Big CatRobert Griffin III should rebrand himself as 'Bobby Griffin' to save his career
I got a new quarterback. He's this kid from Texas. He went to Baylor. He won a Heisman. His name is Bobby Griffin. Tell me that guy's not electric... I think Bobby Griffin gets the juices flowing in a GM's mind because you just need to repackage yourself. I'm not RG3 anymore. I'm Bobby Griffin.
