Recap
PFT CommenterEighty-three percent of the time the winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series wins the series
If you look at it, that that is a correct, but the more important stat is 83% of the time that a series is tied 2-2, that winner of game five goes on to win the series.
PFT CommenterThe Heat and Suns will both win their Game 6 matchups
I would bet that both of these teams that won tonight [Heat and Suns] are probably going to win game six.
PFT CommenterSkip Bayless definitely has burner accounts on Twitter
This is proof. Skip Bayless has burners. I've got a mission now for the next three weeks, which would be to find, skip Bayless's burners and see what the takes that he puts out on the burn. The ones that like, he doesn't think are ready for prime time yet the ones that he's testing out.
Big CatThe Leafs are perfectly set up to lose to the Lightning in Game 6
The Leafs are back, which means that's where they're perfectly set up to lose. And I mean, we might have to game of the year, the Lightning in game six.
PFT CommenterTom Brady's Fox broadcast will be better than Peyton Manning's because he'll have a better staff
I think that that Peyton Manning as an individual is going to be better than Tom Brady. But Tom Brady is going to have a much better staff around him. And so on a whole, his broadcast will be much, much better known as a dynasty.
PFT CommenterJames Harden plays worse in cities with high strip club populations
You know the stat that we were talking about a couple of years ago with James Harden and how he demonstrably plays worse in cities that have high strip club populations.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterAndrew Luck was never an elite quarterback because he ordered chicken at a steakhouse
Andrew Luck because I think you guys told me this, that when you went to the steakhouse St. Elmo's Steakhouse in Indianapolis, he doesn't eat steak, eats chicken. Correct. And that's how you knew he was not going to be an elite quarterback.
Jake MarshEA Sports FIFA is dead because of the rebranding to EA Sports FC
EA Sports and FIFA are dead. 2023. It's been rebranded as EA Sports FC.
Interview
Ryan WhitneyThe word 'pal' is the most disrespectful thing you can call someone
I'd rather get slapped in the face. I'd rather get some, somebody spit in my face too. And then pal me. It's like... basically giving me a hug opposed to what's up pal. Can you pass a salt? Okay pal. You're just like, no problem pal. Ruins dinner.
Ryan WhitneyNHL scoring is up because of power play strategies and better talent
The scoring staying up has a lot to do with the power plays and also just the games. Good right now. I think hockey's, I think the ratings are up... I think because of all the penalties called. So people's complaint right now is that it's not even, it doesn't even feel like hockey, some games... It's turned into just survive five on five, wait till you get a power play.
Ryan WhitneyNo Canadian NHL team will win the Stanley Cup this year
I don't think Canada is going to win the Stanley cup. You're a maple leafs hater. You're an Edmonton Oilers alum... I just think the Leafs have this vibe about them... I don't know if [the Oilers] can figure it out.
Ryan WhitneyThe Maple Leafs have a legitimate mental block when leading series
The maple leafs recently, while leading well down in the series, they're like seven or eight and three, well tied in the series. There are about 500 to eight and eight. And when leading these series, they're one to nine. So it's more of like, it might be a legit mental thing.
Ryan WhitneyCale Makar is currently the best player in the NHL
Right now Cale Makar is the best player in the league. He is a fucking treat to watch every single game. He's doing things that I've never seen before really done. Like he's the McDavid of defensemen.
Ryan WhitneyI won't pick against the Lightning until they actually lose a series
I said I won't pick against them [Lightning] until they don't win. So I am on the Lightning. I want the Lightning, but I'm going to be very surprised if the Avs don't win the Stanley Cup.
PFT CommenterThe NHL is potentially rigged for certain ratings-friendly matchups
The whole debate that we were having last night about the NHL being rigged? Because I think that you're insane for not thinking... the NHL would prefer to have caps first penguins. One last showdown between [Ovechkin and Crosby].
Ryan WhitneyAmerica needs night golf with floodlights on 18-hole courses
Why in America do we not have night golf? ... you can get a short, you know, a four or 5,000 yard, 18 hole course. So they're all short par fours or par threes and play golf at night. Tee off at 10 o'clock with your buddies.
