Recap
PFT CommenterClemson is the only team with a chance to beat Alabama this year
The only team I can see maybe beating Alabama is possibly Clemson. But I only say that... because I'm an idiot, and I know Clemson and Alabama haven't played any common opponents, I don't think.
Big CatAlabama will finish 2018 undefeated and blow everyone out
Everyone in their record books when Alabama finishes an undefeated season and shit kicks everyone. And we'll be like, wait, you could get Alabama at minus 14 in a game in 2018? And you'd be like, that was really stupid. Why didn't we put a billion dollars on it?
Big CatThe loss to the Saints was a statement loss for the Rams that showed championship resolve
I think that was a statement loss for the Rams. Okay. Because they basically had everything go wrong in the first half... And the way they came out in the second half, even though they didn't win the game, that was championship resolve.
Big CatLiterally anyone could play quarterback better than Nathan Peterman
I am starting to feel like this is actually cruel that they keep putting [Peterman] out there. Like, Sean McDermott, what are you doing? You can find anyone, basically anyone, and I mean anyone, that could play quarterback better than Nathan Peterman.
PFT CommenterSam Darnold is bad and investors should sell the stock
Sam Darnold. Trash. He's bad. Sell the stock.
PFT CommenterThe Redskins will win the NFC East because the rest of the division sucks
Redskins NFC [East winners] since like week two... and it's not because I think that they're that good of a team. I think the division sucks.
Big CatThe Eagles will eventually shake off their Super Bowl hangover and wake up
I just think the Eagles are going to come on because that's just, they feel get over their Super Bowl hangover. They're going to get over it. They're going to finally wake up.
Big CatGold Glove is the dumbest award in sports
Gold Glove is the dumbest reward possible. And I'm not saying that just because Javi Baez didn't win one he should have. It's still the dumbest reward. ... I feel like if you get one gold glove you just end up getting gold gloves for life.
Who Is Back
Big CatLeBron James' vote of confidence for Luke Walton is a kiss of death
LeBron getting coaches fired... So he gave Luke Walton a vote of confidence. So you know what that means... Suspect kiss of death. ... You know what that means when LeBron says, no, I like Luke Walton. Yeah, you're done.
Interview
Merril HogeScience has not proven what causes CTE or what CTE causes
It probably sparked the book more than anything is when i kept hearing this from the experts... is a pattern we don't know what causes it and we don't know what it causes we have cases where people have played football people who've played sports and people have not played sports and not had concussions and not had history of head trauma.
Merril HogeThere is a coordinated plot to destroy the game of football
I don't think there's any question there is [a plot]. When you think about... how many sports do you know where there's legislation to try to ban a particular sport, tackle football? Do you know of any other sport?
Merril HogeSubconcussion is not a scientific term and its use is misleading
You just used it as if it's common knowledge... You used the word subconcussion. They haven't even gone through the proper science steps to qualify that as science. ... It's not scientific and so the point is when you don't do the steps of science... there's so many science papers that talk about the abuse of that word, how it's misleading.
Stay Woke
PFT CommenterSpace Jam 2 is a fake movie used by LeBron to launder money to potential free agents
Couldnt you just offer [a superstar] a role in Space Jam 2 and through your production company pay him, I don't know, $30 million a year? Kevin Durant takes the veteran minimum on the books and... Now, I took it a step further than that because this movie has been delayed and delayed... I'm not sure that it's a real movie. ... He's got a fake movie. Follow the checks. Follow the money.
