Recap
Big CatJoey Chestnut is the greatest athlete of all time
Joey Chestnut is the greatest athlete of all time. That's it. It's over. If you look at the career that he's put together and how he keeps beating himself. He doesn't have a guy that he's going up head-to-head against he's only competing against his past self and he continues to dominate himself from a year ago.
Big CatJoey Chestnut is better than Tiger Woods because he competes against everyone who has ever eaten a hot dog
He is better than Tiger Woods better. I would say better because Tiger Woods only competes against what 200 other people in a golf major right? Joey Chestnut is literally competing against anybody that's ever eating a hot dog.
Big CatThe 60-game 2020 season is Mike Trout's best chance to finally make the playoffs
Mike Trout feels like he might opt out... doesn't this feel like the one chance Mike Trout has to go to the playoffs a 16-game season [meant 60]... you could just get hot for a couple months and maybe go to the playoffs and now he's just throwing that out the window.
Big CatThe Washington Generals have a better winning culture than the Redskins have had for the last 30 years
If you are a Redskins fan most people that I know are totally on board with the name change just because it's a new fucking page. It's turning the page. They've been so bad that the name Washington Generals is more aligned with a winning culture than the Washington Redskins has been for the last 30 years.
Big CatI think Bryson DeChambeau is taking steroids
I'm out on Bryson DeChambeau. Yes, he's big the bombs. Guess he's put on weight, but he's artificially I'm going to say it right now. I think he's taking steroids. I think that it's artificial popcorn muscles.

PFT CommenterOnce 2020 ends, everything will get back to normal and be perfect
Once 2020 ends, everything's going to get back to normal to be perfect. You think 2020 is going to run up the score on us?
Big CatDan Wolken had the worst take of the year for laughing at LSU's hire of Ed Orgeron
Dan Wolken... tweeted in 2017: yesterday a college football coaches agent called me. He said LSU hired Ed Orgeron. We laughed for a few minutes. So good job, Dan that turned out to be the worst take ever. Who's laughing now bitch? Haha.
Big CatI will inject myself with coronavirus if they cancel March Madness
Right before 24 hours before they decided there was going to be no March Madness. I said I would inject myself with coronavirus if they cancel March Madness.
PFT CommenterClay Travis had the worst prediction of the year for saying COVID-19 deaths would not reach the thousands
Clay Travis... said I'd be surprised if we get into the thousands when talking about total coronavirus deaths in the U.S. however turns out he's actually right because there's 20 times more people that have been infected than not [sarcastic delivery].
Billy FootballTom Brady's move to Tampa Bay is the only reason Rob Gronkowski returned from retirement
I think that the workload the Patriots wanted [Gronk] to do was higher than something at Tampa is going to have him do... if Tom Brady had stuck around in New England Rob Gronkowski probably still be retired.
