Recap
Big CatI still believe Aaron Donald is too undersized to be successful
What Aaron Donald is doing as an interior lineman is insane. I still think [Donald] is too undersized to be successful.
Picks
PFT CommenterI'm taking the Bears -3.5 against the Lions on Thanksgiving
Right now the Bears are favored by 3.5 points. I like the Bears. The defense looks legit... I would take them by 10.
PFT CommenterI'm taking the Redskins +7.5 against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving
Listen, 7.5 is a lot to give to Colt McCoy. Colt McCoy, he's a cowboy killer... I'm going to take the Redskins.
Big CatI'm taking the under in the Redskins-Cowboys Thanksgiving game
I think the under's the way to go here. 40 and a half? Yeah, I feel like both these teams are going to struggle often. They both have good defenses.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterAyahuasca could help fix Markelle Fultz's mental block
That could actually probably help Markelle Fultz because it's all in his mind. [Ayahuasca] will clear you up... his brain is broken.
Big CatI am rooting for Washington State to get into the College Football Playoff
I now am rooting for Washington State to get into the playoff just to piss off... Mike Leach... is going to make [Saban or Harbaugh] so angry because they're all serious.
Interview
Paul BissonnetteJalen Ramsey could make it to the fourth tier of professional hockey with six months of training
If [Ramsey] had six months of elite training... I think that he could maybe make the [SPHL]... based off his athleticism... mentally he wouldn't understand the game much.
Paul BissonnetteNHL parity is what makes it superior to all other major sports
To me, the parity is what strengthens the NHL over all the other major sports... things are constantly shaken up because of those rules... in the NBA, it's just like, hey, who's going to play the Warriors?
Mike MillerLeBron James is by far the best player I ever played with
Well, clearly [LeBron James] is the best by far. I think you give D-Wade the nod [for second] because he has three championships, but T-Mac to me was the hardest cover ever.
Chuck LiddellI'm going to knock out Tito Ortiz in the first round
I actually am thinking I'm going to knock him out in the first round... I don't expect to make that [past] the first round.
