Intro
PFT CommenterAnnouncing you are writing a book is the funnest part of writing a book
Announcing that you're writing a book is the funnest part of writing a book. Oh yeah. Now we gotta write a book. We've ended up canceling the books at the last minute several times, which always feels great to do.
Big CatOur 10th anniversary book will be the dumbest book ever created
It's gonna be the dumbest book ever created. And it's not gonna be... like, I don't wanna, we're not gonna write like a a tell all that's like super serious. It's gonna be stupid. ... We want it to be dumb. We wanna be stupid.
Big CatThe Oklahoma City Thunder will keep drafting role players and only pay their three stars
I think what [the Thunder's] plan is, and it might work, is that they have so many draft picks. They'll just keep drafting and not paying those guys and then pay their three guys. And hope the role players like, hey, you're gonna, you're gonna play well if you get drafted, get paid very little money. But you get to play with three really good players.
PFT CommenterA quarterback should not have an eight-pack because it means they spend too much time on core work
I, in fact, I would prefer if my quarterback didn't have like an eight pack. It's way too much time working on your core. ... Still good quarterback. I, in fact, I would prefer if my quarterback didn't have like an eight pack.
PFT CommenterPatrick Mahomes having a 'dad bod' is beneficial for Chiefs fans to feel hated
That could actually be great for a Kansas City Chiefs fan because the last five, six years, you've just had to invent reasons why people hate the Kansas City Chiefs and why people doubt you. Now you actually have people making fun of your quarterback.
Mount Rushmore
ZacConstruction workers are the groundwork of civilization and deserve more credit
So much infrastructure to the entire, everything that we do. This building, all of our homes, all, all of the establishments we go to. I mean, it's everywhere. The groundwork of civilization, all the construction workers is deserve so much credit.
Interview
Rob MacHockey players are the best athletes to hang out with because they are the most chill
Hockey players are my, some of my favorite athletes especially to hang out with and to play golf. ... they're the funnest people to hang out with because they're the most chill. They're so fun Canadian hockey players... they're just sweet people. Kind people until they're not.
Rob MacThe next season of Always Sunny in Philadelphia will be the funniest one in a decade
I think that this season that's coming out today or tomorrow is the funniest season, maybe the funniest season we've ever done. That's a pretty high bar, but definitely the funniest of the last like, decade.
Rob MacYou are naturally less funny the better shape you are in
the better shape you are in, the less funny you are just naturally. ... Unless you tell your friends in the show, I did this for you. And the friends are like, what the fuck are you talking about? Why? And he did it just to like impress them, but they're not impressed by it.
Rob MacSports fandom is forged in tragedy, not triumph
it's about fandom... and really what it's about is about community and a community forged in tragedy because there can be only one at the end of each year in any, in every and any sport. And so there's something really beautifully human about that, that, that we are not forged in triumph. We're forged in tragedy.
Mardy FishSilver medals are worse than bronze medals
I lost the gold... You either win the gold, lose the gold or win the bronze. ... I think silver's worse than bronze. ... you gotta win to get the bronze right. You're elated, right? Like you got a medal. And I was devastated that I lost the gold.
Mardy FishHank could easily be a five handicap in golf if he played more
I think he could easily, he's got a gorgeous golf swing. So like, I think he could be a five handicap. No problem. You just gotta, he's just gotta play. He's gotta let him play more.
Mardy FishNovak Djokovic is the greatest tennis player of all time
Novak is [the GOAT]. Yes. ... Novak is just because it's like, Roger won, Roger won one French... Novak has won a few French and like, I mean he's won I think 12 Australian opens. I mean, just incredible. And I played the three of them a bunch and I never beat Novak.
Mardy FishNovak Djokovic will win Wimbledon 2025 but it will be his last major title
I think Novak wins this. Yes. I really do. I think this is, I think this is the last thing. He gets to 25 majors and I think this is the last one he wins. I don't think he can win like a hardcore, he, he can't win the French and then... I don't think like with Sinner and Alcaraz... I don't think he can win a slam outside of Wimbledon anymore.
Fyre Fest
Big CatThe Pacific Time Zone is the worst time zone for sports
I hate Pacific Time zone. It sucks. Everything's just two nights in a row. ... I've pulled up like we have long days and I, I like, I'll pull up the Cubs game being like, I'm gonna watch the Cubs game in my hotel room. And they're just like, oh, they're down eight. Nothing. It's the eighth inning.
