Recap
Big CatJacoby Brissett might actually be a legitimate starting quarterback
I think Jacoby Brissett might be a guy. I just think Jacoby Brissett deserves credit because he's playing great football and he's been put in a situation that's probably not ideal knowing that like you're playing for your own job for your own future, but you also know that this isn't your team.
PFT CommenterReplacing Mitchell Trubisky with Kenny Pickett won't solve the Steelers' problems
I don't think that the problems that they have to solve can be solved by going to Kenny Pickett. In fact, I think it would just kind of screw with Kenny Pickett a little bit because the team, they put him in an obviously flawed team.
PFT CommenterA Browns Super Bowl win with Deshaun Watson would be the most hated of all time
What if the Browns go to the Super Bowl and Deshaun Watson is the quarterback... America hates this shit out of them. It should be their moment, their crowning moment of like this team has never won a Super Bowl... and you win the most hateable Super Bowl of all time.
Picks
Big CatThe Bengals are a lock as my 'Game of the Month' against the Jets
Bengals minus five. It's my game of the month on the Jets. I'm terrified of how much I love the Bengals. It is like a panic button game if they lose this game... they have to win this game.
Billy FootballKyler Murray looks like a toddler running around with a stolen phone
The greatest description I saw of Kyler Murray is that he looks like a toddler running around with a stolen phone.
Big CatBetting the under on NFL prime-time games is a proven winning strategy
My under I'm gonna do the Broncos Niners under 44 and a half. Tommy gave us a stat. It was something like the last 45 prime time games, it's 30 and 15 to the under. And I was like, oh, that's why I lose all my money. So I'm done. I'm gonna try to ride the wave now.
PFT CommenterThe Raiders and Derek Carr are on different pages regarding 'how to win'
I think we might have a little bit of Josh McDaniels and Derek Carr on different pages watch... Josh McDaniels says 'you can't win until you learn how not to lose.' But now Derek Carr last week said 'we have to learn how to win.' It feels like they're on different pages. It's a red flag.
Interview
Morten AndersenJustin Tucker will be the greatest kicker ever if he continues his current path
If [Tucker] continues on this path, he'll be the greatest ever. I hate to say that cause I was pretty good, but... I think Justin Tucker is kicking around 90 like for his career. 92%? That's an insane number.
Morten AndersenThe NFL will eventually see a 70-yard field goal in a game
We're gonna see a 70 yard field goal. I think I feel like I set that two or three years ago... The 60 yard is like the new 50 and the 70 yards gonna be like the new 60. I want to see it too. I mean, I want to see it too. It's like a walk off would be badass.
Fyre Fest
HankIme Udoka's suspension from the Celtics is a messy, public drama nightmare
My Fyre Fest besides the Celtics coach getting suspended for a year... for what? Disgustingly messy public drama. Yeah, that sucks. The only crime he did was his dick was too hard.
HankNew York is a bad sports town because Yankees fans celebrate team records too much
This is embarrassing that [Yankees fans] are celebrating this hard when they just went down from four to three in the bottom of the ninth. Are the Yankees a bad sports town? Yes... I just don't get all the hoopla around it... Whatever, it's a team record. He's going for a team record.
Billy FootballFans who return historic baseballs for little reward are likely getting paid secretly
I have a take. I think that [MLB teams] are paying these guys a lot, but they don't make it public how much they're giving them because they don't wanna raise the price for future type memorabilia. All those times you're like, oh, this person's stupid for just taking that much... I think they're getting paid off behind the scenes.
