Takes
Big CatShaunae Miller crossed the finish line faster because she dove
Like, why would you not dive? Right. It doesn't make any sense. Like, she crossed the finish line faster because she dove. David Eckstein... That guy used to dive into first base all the time. Nobody ever said he wasn't fast.
Big CatJosh McCown is the perfect backup quarterback
Josh McCown is the perfect backup quarterback. Because he doesn't rock the boat. He's just good enough to maybe show a little flash here and there. But then if you have to have him play more than a couple games, you're like, okay. He looks good in a set of front pleated khakis.
Mike PereiraEd Hochuli wears extra small jerseys to make his biceps look bigger
I'm saying if you think a guy that buys extra small jerseys and cuts off the ends of them, if you think and does 100 push-ups before he goes out on the field to make them look bigger, if you think that's a show-off, I think it's a show-off.
Albert BreerSaints rookie Michael Thomas is a massive fantasy alert catching everything at camp
Mike Thomas from the New Orleans Saints has been catching everything, and he's an Ohio State guy too... Definitely a fantasy alert there.
Drew MagaryJay Cutler will never make 'the leap' at age 32.
I'm not scared of Cutler... I don't think [him putting it all together] is going to happen.
Big CatRobert Griffin III being ranked as a top 5 Redskins QB is an insult since he only played with five
Santana Moss actually just came out with his own mini Mount Rushmore... of top five quarterbacks he played with... and RG3 came in the top five. He was five... and those were the only five he played with. But still, top five is top five.
Stingray SteveDak Prescott will be the Cowboys starting quarterback in about a year
I'm going to say about a year. Now, of course, if Romo gets hurt this year, then, of course, I think he may be done. But if he's not, then about a year or two.
PFT CommenterEzekiel Elliott will rush for at least 200 yards in his rookie season
I think [Ezekiel Elliott] is going to put up like bare minimum at least – you can quote me on this – at least 200 yards this year.
Big CatMark Sanchez's 'Sanchise' nickname was a bad one that didn't age well
Steve Francis and Mark Sanchez, Stevie Franchise, Mark Sanchez... Both guys turns out do not make your franchise. Those are unfortunate nicknames when you actually look at how they play. The Sanchise nickname felt like a nickname that Rex Ryan came up with to convince himself.
Blake BortlesJJ Watt grunts and moans while chasing quarterbacks
No, [JJ Watt] is not a big talker at all. Like it's kind of – you kind of just – you hear him like grunting and moaning behind you as he's coming. He just makes noises, really.
Richie IncognitoLaremy Tunsil should quit social media and just play ball
Quit social media. Lock yourself away. Just hang with my guy Pouncey down there. Hang with Tannehill. Hang around good guys like that. And you know what? Just do your thing because all that other stuff has nothing to do with football.
PFT CommenterThe Green Bay Packers drafted a serial killer and he's the biggest bust in NFL history
People forget that the Green Bay Packers drafted a serial killer. In 1974, they drafted a legit serial killer. His name is Randy Woodfield... Would you say he's like the biggest bust in NFL draft history?
PFT CommenterNFL fans will be tired of Carson Wentz's old tweets by week 4 of his rookie season
Wentz also had a tweet like three years ago that said, I want to kill myself. And it was a tweet that was like in succession with a couple others, so it's a little bit out of context. But every single interception that he throws, every game they lose, you're going to see that. You're going to get pretty sick of that by about week four next year.
Peter KingJohnny Manziel will never start another game in the NFL
if you had to put your life on it, does Johnny Manziel start another game in the NFL? I would say no. I think he'll try. I think he'll come back at some point. It'll be a great redemption story. But the problem is... his skillset was going to be difficult anyway... I think he's got a little bit of the Tebow thing around him right now that he's, he's skillset fits college football and not the NFL.
Mike FlorioSam Bradford will not be the Eagles starting quarterback in 2016
I have a feeling [Sam Bradford] won't be [starting]. I know they're saying all the right things now and they can't declare to the world that he's not going to be the starter because what if the guy that they draft ultimately stinks. It wouldn't shock me if they find a way to unload him onto somebody who emerges from the draft without an answer.
Mike FlorioJohnny Manziel will never start another five games in the NFL
I'll take under [five more starts] because even if he gets his act together, which first he has to have the epiphany. I just don't think anybody can ever trust him to be a starting quarterback or a backup quarterback.
Mike FlorioJared Goff will be the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft
Oh, it's going to be Jared Goff. I believe it will be Jared Goff.
Tony SchefflerCalvin Johnson is officially retired and will not return to the NFL
I do [think he is officially retired]. After the beating that he's taken... I just think he made enough money. And the NFL is getting to a point where people are realizing how brutal it is... I'm sure after watching a year of it, like I did my first year out, he'll realize he wants no part of that.
Big CatNFL primetime games in late December are always horrendous
I do know that we will have at least three or four primetime games in like late December that are horrendous because that happens without fail. The Monday night games. There will be a game where Gruden will have to tell out the world that like some awful quarterback is good.
PFT CommenterGreg Hardy's best possible legacy move is to be completely forgotten
The best thing that Greg Hardy could do is be forgotten. That's as good as it's going to get for his legacy. Why don't you get a horse and go live in the mountains someplace and don't bother anybody for a while?
Big CatJ.J. Watt could fix his image by doing 'dizzy bat' and falling on his face
He needs to play a round of drunken dizzy bat because you always fall on your face... Not only is he like, okay, he's a regular guy... He also will fall on his face and will laugh about that. And if he can laugh at himself after that, I mean, he's right back in everyone's good graces.
PFT CommenterBurying a football or burning tape only gives a team exactly one win
Burning tape or burying a football will always give you a little extra juice the next game. It gives you exactly one win. And then you kind of run out of energy because you've done all your crazy shit.
Chris LongI will not be signing with the Los Angeles Rams
Well, the team that just kicked me out onto the street, you know, was the St. Louis Rams. Now the Los Angeles Rams. I'd probably rather not play there.
Big CatBrock Osweiler is the perfect fit to continue the Houston Texans' lineage of awful quarterbacks
Brock Osweiler to the Texans, there has never been a better fit in the entire world. And I'm not talking about fit like, oh, the Texans need a quarterback and they just got Brock Osweiler. I'm talking about Brock Osweiler is the perfect guy to continue the Houston Texans mantle of awful quarterbacks. He just went to a party where everyone was wearing the same white guy J. Crew shirt. And he's like, oh, here are my dudes. I know all these guys. That's Brock Osweiler walking to the Houston Texans.
Big CatThe Jaguars will sign a big free agent like Chris Ivory, cut him in two years because he didn't work out, and keep sucking
The Jaguars have a ton of money, and everyone's going to say, wow, the Jaguars are going to make a big splash. Like, you know, like signing Chris Ivory in two years, they're going to cut him because he's like, he didn't work out and they're going to bring in a new coach and the Jaguars are going to keep sucking and it's going to be beautiful.
