Recap
PFT CommenterIn the future, the 2021 MVP will be a difficult trivia question
He's going to be a trivia question down the line. I'm telling the audience right now, there will come a time in your life when you are asked who the 2020-2021 MVP was. And you're going to need to remember this moment when I'm telling you that it's Jokic because it will win you money.
Big CatI have no problem with bandwagon fans
I know we don't like bandwagon fans. Actually, I have no problem with bandwagon fans. I always thought it was so stupid to be like, more people are buying this stuff and the city is more electric. It's actually awesome. It's like movies. Everyone's getting pumped about it.
PFT CommenterGuy Fieri should be America's mascot
[Guy Fieri] is everything that we thought the bald eagle would be. I just think if you're cheering against whatever team Guy Fieri's cheering for, then you're essentially rooting against Flavor. He's Drake's Wario. He's the good version of a bandwagon fan.
Big CatThe 76ers will win their series against the Hawks
I do think the Sixers are going to win that series. But I've been wrong many, many times before. 40 points for Mr. Suck It [Embiid], he's out. I guess Triple H, he's out. Mr. Suck It, he's out.
Big CatGiannis Antetokounmpo is no more than a 1B option
The hot takes now are... Giannis is no more than a 1B. He can't ascend to the next level. The Bucs have hit the wall that they've hit every single year. I tend to believe there's some truth in that, but it's more that the Nets are so much better than we're giving them credit for.
PFT CommenterThe Nets could beat almost any team if all five starters had to score the exact same amount of points
How many teams do you think that the Nets could beat in a seven-game series if... All five of their starters had to score the exact same amount of points... It's like everyone has to score exactly 14 points. [With Harden healthy], I think they could beat almost everyone.
PFT CommenterKevin Durant is the most 'regular' superstar of all time in the NBA
I also think he's... the most regular superstar of all time in the NBA. He's as close as you can get to normal. He's just like a regular dude, and he thinks like a regular person would, realizes this absurd situation that he's in where hundreds of millions of people have opinions about him who he will never meet in his life. And he's better at basketball than all of them.
Big CatThe Brooklyn Nets will be considered one of the greatest teams of all time within a month
I feel like we're going to be, in a month, the conversation is going to be like, are the Nets one of the greatest teams of all time? If they keep playing the way they have in these first two games, they deserve it because it really is like they just fucking jump on you.
PFT CommenterBlake Bortles could be the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers this year
I have a prediction, Big Cat. I'm in the prediction business. I think that Blake Bortles could be the starting quarterback of the Green Bay Packers this year. Right now, Jordan Love, it seems like he's more valuable to the Packers as an asset.
PFT CommenterGerrit Cole should have just lied about using Spider Tack
Garrett Cole, here's a little PR I want to run for you. It's called lying. You just have to lie. And if you just lie, what will happen is people will print your lie. And then people will read that and be like, oh, Garrett Cole doesn't use spider tack. And then the story's over.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterArch Manning is already the best Manning to ever play football
That ball flip was sick, though, wasn't it? When he did the pump fake, and then he flipped it. I think he's already better. I think he's already the best Manning to ever play football.
PFT CommenterJeff Bezos will disable his companies while in outer space to prank Earth
I think the Earth's actually in the hot seat for all that because it's bad news whenever the richest person on Earth decides to leave for a little bit. what better there will never be a better time for jeff bezos to disable all of his companies that we depend on for everything than when he's in outer space with his brother pissed off at his ex-wife.
PFT CommenterAustralia is back on the map as the 'weirdest' people on Earth thanks to a kid eating a watermelon rind
He brings an entire watermelon with him, and he starts eating it. He bites through the rind, and he eats the entire watermelon by himself. When I say entire, I mean the green, the white part. Everything... it's a huge dub for Australia... This put australia back on the map as like the weirdest people on the planet.
Big CatI am officially counting LeBron James out
So, well, let's just do a quick straw poll. Are you counting [LeBron] out? ... I want to count him out. Yeah, I'm going to do it. I'm going to count him out.
Interview
Wade PhillipsReggie White's 21-sack season in 12 games is a record that will never be beaten
Reggie White... had the greatest year that I've ever coached in that he had 21 sacks, which was the record for a long time. But that was in a 12-game season because we had a strike... So in 12 games, he had 21 sacks. I mean, I don't think anybody's going to ever come close to that.
Wade PhillipsThe Titans' Music City Miracle was definitely a forward pass
I was standing there on the sideline, you know, right across from where they were making the play, where he was throwing the ball forward. So I still thought when they scored, I thought they, you know, they're going to call it back... threw it from behind the line and the guy caught it in front of a line. So I don't see how it couldn't have been forward.
