Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterLeBron James is a coward for not participating in the NBA Dunk Contest
LeBron James that's not in the dunk contest again. Kind of a coward move. Michael Jordan was in the dunk contest. Back in the day, you had your best athletes in it. Vince Carter. You had your Vinces, your J.R. Smiths. You had everybody.
Interview
PFT CommenterLuke Walton was a better coach for the Golden State Warriors than Steve Kerr
I would actually say [the Warriors are] Luke Walton's team. People forget he was their coach in the first half last year. They were a lot better then.
Trill WithersThe Houston Rockets got 100 times better simply by letting Dwight Howard leave
I went Dwight Howard. Like, he just left, and [the Rockets] got 100 times better. Addition by subtraction. I love it.
Ryan WhitneyThe Washington Capitals will finally win the Stanley Cup this year
The Washington Capitals, it's their year. I think this is the year they finally win the Stanley Cup. They certainly have all the pieces. They have all the pieces.
Ryan WhitneyThe Maple Leafs and Islanders will take the final two playoff spots in the East
I like the Leafs and the Islanders out of that [group]. The Leafs are really exciting. I think they'll get in. They got a great coach... and then the Islanders have just kind of turned things around with Doug Weight as their coach.
Ryan WhitneyThe Chicago Blackhawks will win the Western Conference this year
No, I actually think [the Blackhawks] are going to win the West. I love their team this year. I think that they're really deep. Kane and Toews will be there when it matters. I love their team. They've got a lot of young guys that are playing really well.
Ryan WhitneyThe Chicago Blackhawks will win at least one Stanley Cup in the next three years
I love their team. They'll be right there. I wouldn't be worried at all. They're right in the midst of that window to win a couple more. I think they at least get one in the next three years.
Bad Sports Town
PFT CommenterLawrence, Kansas is a great everything-else town, but college sports is on the back burner
I don't think that necessarily [Lawrence is] a bad sports town. I just think that they're a great everything else town. And, you know, they keep it in the right perspective, and college sports is on the back burner.

PFT CommenterFloyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are stuck in Zeno's Paradox and will never actually fight
If I shot an arrow at you, it would never actually hit you because in order for the arrow to get to you, it would have to travel half the distance to you... that's what's happening with McGregor and Mayweather. They're just getting closer and closer and closer and closer until they just get old and die.
Big CatPaul Tagliabue is the smartest person in the world for making Roger Goodell his concussion scapegoat
Paul Tagliabue basically said, I've known about concussions forever, but I kind of don't want to be asked about this anymore. So here, Roger Goodell, you look stupid enough to take this job and have everyone come at you and hate you. And that's exactly what happened. So he's actually the smartest person in the world.
