Sam Pittman is a panic hire for Arkansas

Sam Pittman is who you're talking about. He's the Georgia O-line coach. That is a panic hire for Arkansas. I saw his face. I was like, that's not a head coach. That's not a head coach.

Pittman was actually quite successful initially, winning 9 games in 2021 and making Arkansas competitive in the SEC for a stretch.

I will get an NFL 100 logo tattoo if the Browns and Lions meet in the Super Bowl

If it's Browns-Lions in the Super Bowl, I'll get the tattoo for sure. Yes.

I will get an NFL 100 logo tattoo if Blake Bortles wins Super Bowl MVP

If Blake Bortles wins Super Bowl MVP, I will also do that [get the tattoo].

Blake Bortles did not win a Super Bowl MVP and has since retired.

Adam Gase is already 'done' with the Jets after his bizarre first press conference.

He had maybe the weirdest, like, I don't even know what it was. His eyes were just darting everywhere. He looked like he was being held hostage. And I don't want to be a complete reactionary... but he's done. He cannot survive in the big city.

Adam Gase's tenure with the Jets was a disaster; he went 9-23 over two seasons and was widely mocked for the exact issues Big Cat identified here.

Antonio Brown will not be traded and will stay with the Steelers

I'm so excited for Antonio Brown to have to stay with the Steelers next year, and it's going to be such a circus... He's staying with the Steelers. I'm guaranteeing it.

Antonio Brown was traded to the Oakland Raiders in March 2019.

NBA Twitter needs to chill out during October

October is football and baseball. Chill out, NBA Twitter. Let us have a fucking month... Enough, NBA Twitter. You get your time. We're going to all pay attention to you... from like February till essentially July. So just chill out.

Subjective grievance about sports media cycles.

Kevin Durant should lean into the 'fart face' rumors to be relatable

The reason why people hate you [Kevin Durant] right now is that you joined a 73-win team to win a title. Give us something to make you relatable. Be the fart face guy. It actually humanizes him a little bit, doesn't it?

Durant never embraced the rumors and continued to struggle with his public image on social media for years.

Professional sports should allow players to fight one fan per year to keep them in check

Every single sport should allow a player to have one time a year where they can fight a fan. It would keep fans in check. You never know if you're going to be that guy... It's like, and then once you use it, then the fans can really go in on you because it's like, oh, he's already used his this year.

This is a structural proposal for sports leagues, not a verifiable fact.

Tim Duncan's massive back tattoo is a viral marketing stunt

To me, this screams viral marketing stunt... I would expect him to get such a lame back tattoo. But this is what happens when people retire from things. They end up falling into the first viral trap that their PR person brings in... We're going to get a big back tattoo that's fake. And then a week from now, you'll come out and be like... my tattoo artist has my back. You know who's got your back? It's Fidelity.

The tattoo was real and Duncan has shown it off since; it was not a viral marketing stunt for a financial firm.
