Recap
Big CatKevin Durant is thin-skinned but owning up to it makes him relatable
[Durant] can be a thin-skinned B-word, and he also can be very real and actually kind of owning up to the fact that he's a thin-skinned B-word, which I do respect. It makes him so much more relatable. The fact that he deals with the same problems that we deal with.
Big CatKevin Durant should be the new 'White Whale' guest for PMT
People always ask our white whale once we got J.J. Watt. Now Kevin Durant's our white whale. It's got to be. Kevin Durant is now in a position where I really do think if he came on, it would be a win for him.
PFT CommenterLeBron James would not be a good guest on the show
I actually don't think LeBron would be a good guest on the show. LeBron will never, ever do Pardon My Take. He would probably complain and let [his feelings] fester.
Big CatThis is the year Ryan Tannehill finally takes the next step
The Ryan Tannehill knee brace, Tannehill 2.0. He is really leaning into this is the year that Ryan Tannehill takes the big step, the next step. I think it's awesome that wearable technology has gotten to the point where a quarterback can have their total QBR on their actual equipment.
PFT CommenterThe best way to end a player holdout is to invent a disappointed child
It's a great, great way to just bend teams to your will is invent a child. For everybody else out there, just invent a kid and be like, my child is so disappointed. He was your hero. We gave him some matches. He's four years old and he just burned your jersey in the backyard.
Mount Rushmore
HankRosé cider is delicious despite being a 'chick drink'
Rosé cider. Kind of a chick drink, but it's just so delicious. I could drink it any day. Sometimes the ones in the can have a lot of sugar, though, so I try and go out of my way to find one with low sugar.
Complaint Of The Year
Mr. PortnoyA guy in a white Chrysler 300 is the breakdown of society
This guy in this white Chrysler 300 sedan... He now decides he's going to go back into the fast lane. I decided, you know, this is an allegory for a breakdown in society. All right? Here I am. I'm a very calm person. But when you abuse me like this, I'm not letting him in.
Takies
PFT CommenterThe Washington Capitals run was a dynasty
The Washington Capitals. So the Caps year wins year of the year. Truly a magical run. A dynasty. Maybe the best hockey team of all time ever assembled. Great coaching, great executing, great fans.
Preemptive Takes
PFT CommenterSkip Bayless will blame LeBron James for destroying the American education system
Skip Bayless for saying that LeBron James is destroying the American educational system by making children stay up too late to watch West Coast games. Ruining America's future. He'll deputize himself to be the watchdog and guardian of America.
Bad Take Of The Year
Big CatThe Duke Blue Devils are definitely winning the national championship
The Duke Blue Devils are going to win the national championship. And this isn't a reverse jinx. I know you're thinking, Big Cat, you hate Duke. No, no, no. They're definitely going to win the national championship. You heard it here first. It's done.
