Recap
Big CatDuke has already lost the last game of the year
Duke has already lost the last game of the year, guys. I said it. Sorry. It already happened.
PFT CommenterJameis Winston is a future Hall of Famer
If you learn more from a loss and interception than you do from throwing a touchdown or winning a game like [Jameis Winston] is going to be—that's why he's a future Hall of Famer. He's just storing up all the knowledge right now.
Big CatThe NFL should eliminate the week of Christmas from the schedule
All Christmas week, just eliminate that week on the schedule of NFL football because you can watch bowl games. There's NBA Christmas and it will make you force you to spend more time with your family... and also you look like—this is also a win for NFL where they can say, 'We give the players Christmas week off.'
PFT CommenterA 17-game NFL season is just a bridge to an 18-game season
17 seems like a weird number. It absolutely feels like it's just a bridge to get to 18 games. Like that's the finish line. It's going to be 18 games. No one's going to want a 17-game season.
Big CatAstros players will get beaned all year long
Not a single player is being held responsible... guess what? No one's going to forget about it and everyone's gonna get beaned this year and I'm excited.
Interview

So Clooney's very, very good. He's college-level athlete. Full college level... [Clooney] was a great baseball player, like college-level baseball recruited for baseball and he really knows how basketball works. Like he knows how to do a pick-and-roll. He understands basketball.
Brian KoppelmanWoody Harrelson has legitimate basketball hops
I thought I could beat Woody... and he destroyed me, man. He was up at the hoop. He could really get right to the hoop... Woody has hops. Yes.
Brian KoppelmanAll screenwriting books are absolute bullshit
I just said for the fuck of it one day: All screenwriting books are bullshit. All of them. Read screenplays, watch movies, and let those be your guide... if you have to go to a Radisson for a seminar, it's fake. It's fake.
Picks
Big CatThe Cleveland Cavaliers will have five coaches in an 18-month span
I want them to fire their interim between the end of the season because they're going for the record. I think this is their fourth... I need them to get five coaches in like the span of 18 months. I think that's absolutely a hundred percent likely to happen.
