Recap
Big CatDetroit got their mojo back and looked like the efficient team they were earlier in the season
I feel like Detroit kind of got their mojo back a little bit and like, 'Hey, we're not going out without a fight.' Detroit didn't make those mistakes. Detroit didn't turn the ball over.
PFT CommenterI'm softening on the Cowboys and no longer get joy from Dak Prescott interceptions
You know how I know that I'm softening up on the Cowboys? I don't get the same joy that I used to get off Dak [Prescott] interceptions. Dak interceptions used to give me life. They used to make me so happy.
Nba
Big CatLeBron James robbed fans of a hater moment by making the correct basketball play
I feel so robbed by it because [LeBron James] actually made a very selfless play. A game-winning assist for a buzzer beater. I was really hoping that the situation had occurred where he was trying to force it and he cost him the game. He robbed that from us.
Big CatChris Paul being a dickhead in his 20th season is actually a credit to his accountability
In his 20th year in the league at his age, he was still being like, 'Hey guys, we gotta be accountable.' Because I would think that if you're doing a farewell tour... I'm gonna chill with the boys. He was still being dickhead Chris Paul. It's more of a credit to Chris Paul.
Picks
Big CatThe Bengals can make the playoffs if they beat the Bills
I know that I've made the joke that everyone says don't let the Bengals into the playoffs. We won't. There is a chance that Bengals can make the playoffs because if they can win this game [against the Bills], the rest of their schedule is easy.
PFT CommenterJoe Burrow has started eight games in the last year and is 8-0 as a starter
In the last 12 months, Joe Burrow has started... He is eight and oh as a starter in the last calendar year. Since this date, December 2nd, the last 367 days.
PFT CommenterSam Darnold is 10-0 straight up in his career as a favorite of six points or more
Sam Darnold has been a favorite of six points or more 10 times as a starter in the NFL. He's 10 and oh straight up, eight and two against the spread in those games.
Big CatThe current Seahawks defense is playing better than the Legion of Boom did in any seven-game stretch
The Seahawks defense in terms of... a seven-game stretch, they have actually played better in a seven-game stretch this year than the best seven-game stretch of the Legion of Boom.
PFT CommenterI would rather see Jayden Daniels play and risk injury than sit him for the rest of the season
Big picture, if he gets hurt, I'm gonna be like, why the fuck was Jayden Daniels playing? Counterpoint: Good football players want to play football when they're healthy. I would really like to see Jayden Daniels play this weekend. I don't care. I like watching him play football.
PFT CommenterMatthew Stafford's 31 career pick-sixes is actually a complimentary stat
Matthew Stafford has 31 [pick-sixes]. Brett Favre has 32. And you're like, 'Ooh, that's a bad stat.' And then you realize... that means you're very, very good because you played long enough that it didn't actually matter. It's actually kind of a compliment that the rest of your game is so good that 31 pick-sixes are completely irrelevant.
Big CatWeek 14 is an elimination game for the Chiefs
The Chiefs season kind of comes down to three-game schedule at home... If they lose this game [against the Texans], I think it's gonna be very hard for them to make the playoffs. This is an elimination game pretty much for the Chiefs today.
Fantasy Minute
Jerry O'ConnellJJ McCarthy is a sit in fantasy because he can't throw for 300 yards
Sit [JJ] McCarthy for not being able to throw the 300 yard. He can't throw 300. We're gonna sit Hank also because he can't throw for 300 yards like Drake May.
Interview
Stanford SteveMiami should be ranked ahead of Notre Dame because they won the head-to-head matchup
I look at what matters on the field. They... actually played. Miami led the whole game. They won. I don't understand [them being ranked lower]. Miami should be ahead of Notre Dame.
Stanford SteveTexas Tech can win the National Championship because of their defense
I am in the belief that Texas Tech can do it with that defense... Texas Tech is a 'yes' for me [to win a national title] because of that defense. They're going to be stretched where they haven't been stretched before.
Fyre Fest
MaxI have lost all hope in this Eagles team and they have to win me back
I have lost all hope in this Eagles team. They got, they have to win me back. I'm opening up that they could win me back. But right now, they have to prove it.
