Intro
Big CatTiger Woods fanboys are delusional if they think the old Tiger is coming back
I just can't stand the Tiger fanboys that think old Tiger's coming back. He said it's phase two, which is nice. He leaves out the point that Phase 1 stopped after he became addicted to working out with Navy SEALs, cheated on his wife, crashed into a fire hydrant and hurt his back a million times.
Big CatAl Horford should not have missed a game for the birth of his child because basketball is forever
Al Horford skipped a game to be with his wife who is having a kid. But come on, man. They could have lost. It's a kid. Kids come and go. Basketball is forever.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatMore football is always better, so everyone complaining about Thursday Night Football should shut up
I would need people on Twitter, all the nerds out there who keep complaining about Thursday night: Shut up. More football is always better. Don't do this. You're ruining it. I hate people who are like, Thursday night football sucks. Guess what? It's better than no football.
Interview
Tom CrabtreeAaron Rodgers isn't washed; the Packers' defensive injuries are the real problem
I don't think [Rodgers] was ever gone. I mean, their defense kind of sucks. So that's not really helping his cause when he's throwing for 300 yards and three touchdowns and they still lost. I don't really get that whole narrative. They've got a lot of injuries, especially on defense.
Tom CrabtreeI would un-retire and return to the Packers if they offered $1 million per game
If the Green Bay Packers called you up tomorrow and said, we'll give you a million dollars a game. Come back for the rest of the season. You doing it? Yeah, yeah, I'm doing that. I am un-retiring, yeah. If they're doing that, I'm back.
Tom CrabtreeGreg Schiano failed as an NFL head coach because he focused too much on minor details
I think his biggest downfall as a head coach was he focused on way too many details. You kind of lost sight of the big picture. I was focused on, okay, if we recover a fumble, this is how my hands have to be and I need to tuck it into my body at a 90 degree angle. It was so many little details and you were on pins and needles.
Pr 101
Big CatJohnny Manziel needs to get sued or arrested every few months just to let us know he's alive
Johnny Manziel is being sued because apparently he broke some bartender's nose. Good to know Johnny Manziel is still alive. We need him to get sued or arrested every few months to let us know that he's alive.
Stay Woke
PFT CommenterVoters are more likely to support political change when their local NFL team is losing
When your football team is good, you're more likely to vote for an incumbent. And when your football team's bad, you're more likely to vote for a new guy. The Jaguars and Dolphins sucked up until Election Day. Wisconsin voted Trump. Steelers sucked at the start of the year, Pennsylvania voted Trump. Carolina Panthers suck, North Carolina voted for Trump too.
Kings Stay Kings
Big CatIt is completely unfair to judge Jeff Fisher on his losing record
LA Rams COO Kevin Demoff said it's unfair to judge head coach Jeff Fisher on record. Kings stay Kings. Everybody will want to judge Jeff through the prism of just the record, but that's totally unfair when you look at the set of circumstances he was handed this year.
PFT CommenterThe Rams will announce an extension for Jeff Fisher immediately following their next win
Right now, after the Rams' next win, they're going to announce the extension. He's getting out in front of the story right now, laying a nice mattress down so that nobody's shocked. Next win of the Rams, they're going to use that as the premise to announce an extension.
Mike Greenbergs Dumb Rules
PFT CommenterThe NFL should award one point for a kickoff that goes through the uprights
John Harbaugh wants to make the kickoff worth one point if his kicker can kick it through the uprights. I like this rule though. We need more kickers. I've been saying for years that if you hit the upright, it should be worth extra.
