Big CatTom Izzo needs to win a second national championship to enter the 'rarefied air' of the greatest coaches
I do think we probably underrate him... he has to get that second title to like get into that rarefied air. Because second titles is really where... it just, you look at the list of guys who won one title, there's a lot of guys. Then you get to second and it's a laundry list of the best coaches in the game.

PFT CommenterUniversity of Virginia is the biggest winner of the weekend despite not playing
Biggest winner of the weekend... University of Virginia. Big time dodged bullet because not only did their loss against Furman not, it wasn't even close to being the biggest upset of the tournament so far. But also they're no longer the only 16 seed to go down to a one seed [after Purdue lost to FDU].
Big CatPurdue has officially reached rock bottom because there are no 17 seeds to lose to
Purdue now 2021, they lost to a 13 seed... 2022, they lost to a 15 seed... 2023, they lost to a 16 seed... Good news for Purdue. There are no 17 seeds. So it feels like we've reached the bottom.
PFT CommenterWithout Zach Edey, Purdue wouldn't have even made the NIT
My takeaway was that Zach Edey, without Zach Edey Purdue would not have made the tournament. They probably wouldn't have even made the NIT. Zach Edey was the only one doing anything.

View profileBig CatThe Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade
I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.
Big CatThe NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos
If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.
Big CatThe Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips
The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.
