Recap
PFT CommenterAuston Matthews has become 'too Canadian' and that is why the US lost the Four Nations tournament
My takeaway from this game is that Austin Matthews has become too Canadian. And that's why we lost the game. Because he's a Maple Leaf and Maple Leafs never win anything. And we saw that.
Big CatRemoving human umpires from baseball takes away 50% of the reason to watch
I do worry as always that when you take away umps, you, you take away like 50% of the conversations guys can have with each other. And that goes for refs and, and everything in sports. If you can't complain about the calls, what are we gonna talk about? It'd basically be like putting a ban on no discussion about the weather.
OldieBaseball is the worst of the four major North American sports
I'm not a ball guy. Slow game. Bottom, bottom of the four major sports for sure. Hockey, football, then to throw the NBA. And then we gotta drop to MLB.
Interview
Rick PitinoYou cannot win big in college basketball with high school kids anymore
I I don't think you can win and win big with high school kids. Huh? I don't, I really don't believe it. I wish it was true now. Good recruiting. I I think New York is more attractive away from New York than in New York. I agree that as somebody who used to live in New York.
Rick PitinoThe NCAA 20-hour rule for practice is 'absurd' in the NIL era
The ncaa, I've always said this about them, they are never proactive. They're always reactive. The fact that we have a 20 hour rule right now is, is absurd. Now, we don't spend 20 hours now this part of the season because we don't want to get injured. But in the beginning, in the summertime, they give you five hours a week. That's crazy.
Rick PitinoIndiana should immediately hire Chris Beard without interviewing anyone else
If I was the ad at Indiana, I would immediately not even interview anybody else and hire one of the premier coaches in all of college basketball. And that's Chris Beard from Ole Miss. I wouldn't even think about another person. He's perfect for that job. He's a tough, hard-nosed coach. He's a superstar top three coach in my estimation.
Cooper DeJeanThe Eagles didn't blitz once in the Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes
We didn't even blitz one time. We had, we had some blitzes drawn up, you know, to run. And when you got those guys up front, you know, we never really, never really had to.
Cooper DeJeanGoing for it on 4th down with the Eagles was a major culture shock compared to Iowa
Being being used to just playing field position and, and you know, having our, having our defense, you know, just keep, keep their offense pinned back. It was, it was a little different for me. Especially those first few weeks when we're, we're around our own 50 yard line and we're just going for it on, on fourth and three. At Iowa, like, that'd be, that'd be a no brainer. Like, like punt.
Fyre Fest
PFT CommenterA 2032 asteroid will likely hit the Earth and specifically ruin a Cleveland Browns Super Bowl run
My fire fest of the week is that there's an asteroid heading towards Earth. It's scheduled to hit the planet potentially in 2032. This tells me this has like Brown Super Bowl run written all over it. And the asteroid shows up.
