Recap
Big CatKevin Durant lacks the clutch gene and cannot win a championship as the alpha on a team
Kevin Durant lacks the clutch gene. Doesn't get the ball off on time. [He will never win an NBA championship] where he's the alpha on the team. Beta ball.
Big CatThe Yankees are going to win the World Series because they have 'the look'
The Yankees, I think, are going to win the World Series. I'm actually going to say that right now. I think they have what we call the look. I was going to say the aura, actually.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterThe 49ers are 'cover machines' and I will keep betting on them
My cool throne is, number one, the 49ers for the gambling luck. They've lost the last, what, five games by three points or less? They're cover machines. I'm going to keep riding those Niners.
Big CatPhiladelphia can't have nice things, so the Eagles' success will eventually fall apart
My hot seat is the Eagles. And this is quick... It just seems like it's too good right now. And Philadelphia can't have nice things.
Interview
Scott Van PeltFreezing Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is the best way to eat them
Reese's, put them in the freezer, kids. That's the next level stuff. Everyone knows that.
Scott Van PeltMaryland football will become a contender in the Big Ten under DJ Durkin
I think if DJ Durkin stays, that there'll be a time not too far from now when not just the Minnesotas of the world that you beat, maybe you can step up. I'm telling you.
Scott Van PeltI will never do another show with Ryen Russillo
I don't think we're ever going to do a show again. [SVP and Russillo]
Trouble In Paradise
Big CatThe Bulls' practice fight is a result of a failure in leadership from John Paxson
This starts from the top. This is leadership from the top. This is John Paxson, who has famously gotten a choking match with Vinny Del Negro... It's a good culture that the Bulls have.
Protect The Shield
Big CatThe NFL's ratings decline is a 'fake news' narrative partially caused by warm weather
Ratings are down 7.5%... Fake news, because we watch more than ever... Also, I just want to note this, that it just today felt like fall... You can't fully embrace football when it's 90 degrees.
