Recap
Big CatConor McGregor's rampage at Barclays Center was a real incident, not a work
I cannot figure out, a lot of people are saying it might be a work. I think it's real. I think it's absolutely real.
Big CatConor McGregor is bigger than the UFC
Conor McGregor's bigger than the UFC. That's really what it comes down to. I think Dana White actually has a problem here because he can't pay Conor McGregor what Conor McGregor is worth at this point.
PFT CommenterSergio Garcia will never win another Major
Sergio and the fact that he's known for choking and that he'll never win a major. Ever.
PFT CommenterEastern Conference NBA teams that wear red will lose early in the playoffs
Eastern Conference teams that wear red lose early in the playoffs. So I guess this year it would just be the Raptors, the Heat, and the Wizards are all going to lose very early on.
Big CatThe 2018 NBA Finals will be the Sixers versus the Timberwolves
I actually got put on the spot today, and I said it's going to be the Sixers versus the Wolves.
Brain Dump
PFT CommenterWe should harness the power of tectonic plates using 'Groundmills' for energy
Groundmills. We harness the power of the Earth's tectonic plates... We just put a windmill that moves. It's a giant blade. And so whenever the fault lines shift, it pushes this huge blade that makes electricity for everybody.
Interview
Ryan WhitneyThe Blackhawks will make the playoffs next year but aren't Stanley Cup contenders anymore
I think that this is maybe just a one-off year, and next year it could be quickly fixed. I think they'll get back to the playoffs. Contenders, that could be in trouble now.
Ryan WhitneyThe Capitals will lose in the second round because they can't beat the Penguins
They have to play Pittsburgh and they can't beat them... Malkin won't lose to Ovechkin. So unless Pittsburgh gets upset in the first round, they're done. I mean, they will lose in the second round.
Ryan WhitneyThe Golden Knights will lose in the first round of the playoffs
I've stuck by my guns that they're going to lose in the first round. I'm just staying on it. I don't think they can match up with a team who has, like, a superstar.
Ryan WhitneyNashville and Tampa Bay will play in the Stanley Cup Final, and Nashville will win
I have money on Nashville. I've had it for a while. They're my pick at the beginning of the year. Them and Tampa to play each other. Nashville is a wagon.
RiggsTiger Woods needs a 65 or 66 to win the Masters, which is unlikely
He's going to have to post like a 65, a 66 in there somewhere, which it seems from his game, it seems very unlikely that he can really go that low.
Tebow Update
PFT CommenterI'm off the Tim Tebow train until he learns a third skill
I'm off Tim Tebow until he learns another skill... Learn a third skill. He can hit home runs and he can circumcise babies. So learn a third skill.
Embrace Debate
Big CatPhillies manager Gabe Kapler is incompetent and trying to get fired
I don't think we've ever seen someone become a baseball manager that doesn't know what the fuck he's doing whatsoever... Everyone's got to follow Gabe Kapler because I think this is the first time ever where someone got a job they didn't want and they're trying to get fired.
