Recap
PFT CommenterThe Cleveland Browns will make the playoffs
Welcome to being a winner Cleveland. I say the Cleveland Browns are going to make the playoffs.
PFT CommenterYou cannot win a championship with Jimmy Butler as your number one guy
I would not want to pay [Jimmy Butler] a max deal right now. I don't think that you can win a championship with Jimmy Butler as your one or one a guy.
Big CatThe Giants season is over if they lose to the Texans
This is officially if the thing is, I'm pretty sure the Giants are terrible. And if the Texans lose to a terrible team, their season's over... When you dun-chain someone, their season is over.
Picks
PFT CommenterBet the Redskins +3 because of the bad turf at FedEx Field
One, Aaron Rodgers, he says that his knee's getting – like he's afraid that it's going to get worse. And the Redskins' defensive line is pretty good... Aaron Rodgers' knee, the Redskins' turf. That's all you need to say for that game.
Fantasy Fuccbois
Big CatEli Manning should just retire already
Fuck Eli Manning. How many times is Eli Manning going to sack himself when I put a little fucking cashola on the Giants in a Sunday night game? Fuck you, Eli Manning. Just retire, you fucking asshole.
Interview
Jeff PearlmanThe best USFL teams would have been 7-9 caliber NFL teams
Philadelphia Stars back then would have been a 7-9 NFL team.
Ryan WhitneyDerek Carr is an overrated quarterback
Derek Carr's overrated, I think. It's the Raiders. They've been a gong show forever.
Ryan WhitneyThe Patriots will roll over Matt Patricia and the Lions
I also think the Pats roll over [Matt] Patricia. Big Cat, you have sources. They hate Patricia, huh?
Just Stop Talking Jon Gruden
PFT CommenterJon Gruden is intentionally sabotaging the Raiders to get back at Al Davis
I think this might be intentional... he had like a feud with Al Davis and whispered in his ear on Al's deathbed: 'Listen to me, you son of a bitch. I'm going to come back, and I'm going to wreck your franchise.'
Trouble In Paradise
PFT CommenterTom Brady and Bill Belichick actually hate each other
I do actually believe that Brady and Belichick hate each other. I think they hate each other, but I think that they have such a productive hate for each other. And they're both such like competitive psychos that it just makes each one of them be better at their jobs.
