Recap
PFT CommenterThe Bears will draft Kyle Trask and he will be a bust
I'm calling it right now. They're going to draft Kyle Trask, and then he's going to stink, and [Big Cat's] life will be made a living hell by a quarterback who sucks that looks exactly like Billy Football.
PFT CommenterJon Gruden would trade his entire draft for Derrick Henry
I feel like it might be [Jon] Gruden. He might do it for Derrick Henry just because of his size. I feel like Gruden is a guy that respects mass.
Big CatArthur Smith's family wealth proves his genuine love for football
His dad is the CEO of FedEx and he could have just been rich. Instead, he's like, I want to grind tape and be an offensive coordinator for a bunch of years and then hopefully get the dignity of being able to stand on the sidelines as my team collapses... it's pretty fair to say that he loves football.
Big CatJake Paul 'owns' Dana White by exposing UFC fighter pay disparity
The reason why I say Jake Paul kind of owns Dana White a little bit, he got Dana White to talk about him in the post-fight press conference... he points out that he has made more money than every other UFC fighter before him. Except for Khabib and McGregor... basically he is like, Dana, why don't you pay your guys so they don't have to come fight me and make their big payday?
Billy FootballMMA fighters should start wearing shin guards in professional fights
They should make the shin kicks illegal. Or make them wear shin guards like they do in other MMA sports... I think literally guys are just kicking so hard the shin can't evolve fast enough.
Big CatPitchers who get upset about batters celebrating home runs are 'soft'
[Trevor Bauer] said, I like it. Pitchers who have that done to them and react by throwing at people or getting upset and hitting people or whatever, I think it's pretty soft. If you give up a homer, a guy should celebrate it... I'm all for it, and I think it's important that the game moves in that direction.
Big CatThe Oregon basketball court is the worst court design of all time
The Oregon court is the worst court of all time. I hate that court. It looks like it's warped. Every time I see that court, I get fucking so mad.
Who Is Back
Interview
Todd McShayZach Wilson will be drafted number two overall by the Jets
I know for a fact Zach Wilson is going number two overall to the Jets.
Todd McShayKyle Shanahan wants to draft Mac Jones while the Niners personnel staff prefers Trey Lance
What I'm told is, and from people that I really trust in the league, is that the personnel department would like to take Trey Lance from North Dakota State. But Kyle Shanahan, the head coach, wants to take Mac Jones.
Todd McShayThe Falcons are likely to draft Kyle Pitts at number four
I've talked to another really reliable source that thinks that they're going to take Kyle Pitts, the tight end from Florida. So it could be quarterback, quarterback, quarterback for the first three picks. And then Pitts, the tight end, could come off the board at number four to Atlanta.
PFT CommenterLong-haired quarterbacks do not win Super Bowls
Are you concerned that his [Trevor Lawrence's] hair is too long because long-haired quarterbacks don't win Super Bowls? ... It's basically, I think Kenny Stabler is the only one. And he was a little shaggy. I wouldn't call it long hair.
Todd McShayJason Oweh is the most difficult evaluation in the draft due to zero sacks
Jason Oweh from Penn State to me is one of the hardest evaluations simply because if you can't get a sack as an edge rusher, then what are we doing here? ... All butt, no sack.
Monday Reading
Big CatThe Disney 'wokeness' critic is a compelling weirdo
I actually think this guy might rule. I think he might rule. I think I might be a fan of his... the fact that he spends this much time thinking about Disney is weird, but also kind of cool because it's just cool to be that excited about anything.
