Interview
Ryen RussilloMost sports media coverage of NFL contracts is based on lies because they don't look at the real numbers
I can't believe how bad everybody still is with contracts. NFL contracts, the first headline's a lie. and then it's the guaranteed money, and then it's what's paid out in the first three years. So if Odell's asking for a certain number, what he's really doing is manipulating the media because the media doesn't seem to want to put in the time to figure out what's really being asked for in the contract.
Ryen RussilloMedia personalities should get things wrong on purpose once every few months to move the needle
I had somebody to pull me aside. I was like, you take it too seriously when I was younger. And he said, get something wrong on purpose. Just be so wrong once every few months that it kind of registers with people.
Ryen RussilloLeBron James will win exactly one more NBA championship in his career
I'll go under [1.5]. I think he has one more. But usually these guys, this means they're done. Remember the Kobe stuff? We're like, oh, nobody wants him more than Kobe. You want it all you want. This is over.
Ryen RussilloKawhi Leonard might stay in Toronto long-term because he'll realize how great the city is
Kawhi could be sitting here going, I'm not staying in Toronto. And then you're there. Toronto's awesome. Currency. Exactly.
Mount Rushmore
Ryen RussilloMen should never use 2.5-pound plates at the gym
Men shouldn't use the two and a half plates ever. Ever. ... You went up two and a half pounds today. Like, men shouldn't use the two and a half plates ever.
Is Tiger Back
PFT CommenterGrinding out a par in golf is more impressive than shooting a low score with no effort
See, Big Cat, here's where you and I kind of differ because you don't know as much about golf as I do. He [Tiger Woods] grinded this one out. ... if you grind out a bad score, it's actually better than shooting a good score with no effort. It shows more grit, more determination. It's like an ugly win. Better than a beautiful loss.
Sabermetrics
PFT CommenterSex bots will be perfected before robot umpires or doctors
I think we're going – if history has taught us anything, it's that sex is always on the bleeding edge of technology. So after we perfect sex bots – Then we'll get around to making things like doctors, surgeons. Robot umps and robot baseball players.
Kings Stay Kings
Big CatBill Snyder will retire and then come back to coach Kansas State again
The best part about that extension is he's going to retire and come back within those five years. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Grab Bag
PFT CommenterBreaking up with a long-term girlfriend for a year to 'experience things' will definitely result in getting back together
Or just tell her that you joined the military and then just leave town. Yeah, for three years. Write a couple postcards. Come back. If she cheated on you, she's a scumbag. Yeah, that's actually a very good way to tell how serious she is about this relationship. Make up a deployment.
