Recap
PFT CommenterSoccer players are frauds and the sport isn't that difficult to play
Soccer players are frauds. I don't think that it's that difficult to play soccer.
Big CatHarry Kane is a bust because he only scores from point-blank range
Harry Kane, still a bust in my mind [because] he just only scores from like two feet out. He basically didn't even have to [try for the hat trick]. He just showed up, and I could have gotten that hat trick.
Big CatRussia is definitely doping and FIFA is choosing to ignore it
Russia's doping and FIFA doesn't care. There's a report that came out that basically the entire team doped in 2014, the entire team's doping now, and FIFA has actually gotten the documents and been like, eh, we'll just let this one slide.
Mount Rushmore
PFT CommenterCracker Jacks are the coleslaw of candy
Cracker Jacks are the coleslaw of candy. They're good for like a handful. Yeah, and nobody really likes it. It's more about the visual of walking around with a thing of Cracker Jacks.
Who Is Back
Big CatHistory will remember Carmelo Anthony as someone who sucked, forgetting how good he actually was
Here's what's going to happen to Melo, which kind of sucks. Because Melo, I mean, all-time scorer... He's definitely going to play for a couple more years, and everyone's going to look back and be like, Melo sucked. They will not remember that Melo was very, very good.
Liam (Bubba)Carmelo Anthony has staying power because he has the coolest basketball name ever
Have you guys heard the theory why he [Carmelo Anthony] has so much staying power? It's just because he has the coolest basketball name of all time. Like if his name was like John Brown, he would have been benched years ago.
Interview
Vince CarterMichael Jordan is the GOAT, followed closely by Kobe Bryant
I still have to give it to MJ. With a close Kobe second. It's hard for me playing the game right now to give a guy [LeBron James] that crown because I'm still in the game. And he's still in the game, too. I cannot do that.
Vince CarterSuper teams threaten to water down the NBA
The only thing I just hope that doesn't happen is the league becomes watered down because so many teams are trying to create a super team to where you have 10 teams of the 30 having all the best players. And then what does that do with the rest of the league? Everyone else is tanking. That just hurts the NBA at the end of the day.
Vince CarterBaggy clothes will eventually come back into fashion
Everything is going to come full circle. The baggy clothes... I still have my Coogee sweaters. And they're starting to slowly come back. It's going to all come back, bro.
Vince CarterI will play in the NBA for only one more year
[Question: How many more years you got?] One. That's it? Yes.
Protect The Shield
Big CatThe NFL is right to refuse Laurent Duvernay-Tardif's request to put 'MD' on his jersey
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif finishes medical school... and asked the NFL he could put MD on the back of his uniform and they said no. I agree with them. Too many doctors, and we might start figuring out what concussions are like. This isn't the National Medical League, okay? This is football.
Mike Greenbergs Dumb Rules
PFT CommenterBaseball should remove the catcher position for the first two strikes with no one on base
My idea was to just remove the catcher and put the catcher in the infield or the outfield against a batter when there's nobody on base for the first two strikes. Yeah, the umpire gets hit a few times with some fastballs or whatever, but you don't need a catcher. Like who cares if the game's delayed a little bit?
