Takes

I don't have any questions for you guys

No, I don't.

The hardest part about being a pro athlete is that it's a job

I mean, it's a job. We work strenuous hours. Watching film, putting what we put our body through. I think sometimes they think, oh, they just get to play a game that they love. It's a kid's game, but it's a business, and it's treated that way.

If I wasn't playing football I'd be promoting Ready Raise Rise full-time

Maybe something like I'm doing today, knowing how near and dear cancer is in my heart. Maybe it's just continue to promote Ready Raise Rise and figuring out a way to try to defeat this cancer.

My favorite color is gray — all different shades of gray

[Speaker 2] (46:32) Gray. [Speaker 2] (46:46-46:48) Yeah, gray. All different shades of gray.

Gray might be the craziest answer Dak has given all interview

That actually might be the craziest answer you've given. That's gray? What? Gray?

Dak forgot to hang up -- told his publicist the interview was 'terrible'

The best part about the Dak Prescott interview was when we finished the interview, we said, okay, see you later. And he didn't hang up. And then his PR person was like, hey, how'd that go, Dak? And he just goes, Terrible. They asked me about a porn star.

LeBron is definitely going to the Lakers

LeBron's really good friend, Cuffs the Legend... Tonight he has tweeted... staying up late for West Coast NBA games is going to take some time to adapt to... LeBron to L.A. That's all we'll say. As first reported by us.

Julian Edelman is innocent until proven guilty regarding his PED suspension

[Speaker 0] (11:15-1:16:00) Now, with that said, we are still standing by the fact that Julian Edelman is innocent. [Speaker 0] (1:16:00-1:16:02) Last I checked in this country, you're innocent until proven guilty.

Short people are being weeded out by natural selection

[Speaker 3] (1:21:17-1:21:25) No, if you look back in history, the human species has gotten taller as time has gone on, so the short people have been weeded out.

Soccer 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.

Harry Kane is a 'fraud' because he only scores tap-ins and penalties

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. I just need to hit two penalty shots.

Russia 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.

A hot dog or sausage at a stadium is incomplete without grilled onions

You can't get a hot dog or a sausage in a stadium without doing the grilled onions. I'll walk to the ends of earth. There'll be one stand that has grilled onions. You've got to get to that stand. If you don't do that, you're just a rookie.

Cracker 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.

The best stadium food is anything you can throw the shell or remains of on the floor

The best is just any food that you can eat and then throw away. Throw away the shell of it and you don't give a shit.

History 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.

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.

Women prefer 'soccer bodies' over any other male physique

I know you remember the dad bod thing that women pretended, like, oh yeah, we love guys who are kind of fat and don't care. That was so nice of them. But really, when it comes down to it, if you ask a woman, I guarantee you they go soccer bod over any other bod.

Michael 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.

Super 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.

Baggy 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.

Super teams only work if stars are willing to be unselfish for the bigger picture

Everybody tries to create the Golden State Warriors basketball team. But the problem is you have to have the guys that are willing to still be the stars that they are, but unselfish. Those guys are unselfish... You put your ego aside for winning. If you can't get guys to buy in, it's not happening.

Allen Iverson was the toughest player I ever had to guard

[Question: Toughest guy to guard?] Allen Iverson.

I will play in the NBA for only one more season

[Question: How many more years you got?] One. That's it? Yes.

The 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.

Baseball 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?

Adrian Wojnarowski is bigger than the NBA and ESPN can't touch him

It's like ESPN is not going to do shit to him. No. Because he's Woj. He's bigger than the league. Technically, he didn't tip any picks. No, he just said that they're unlikely to pass on them.

Philip Rivers is a better quarterback than Eli Manning

Philip Rivers, better quarterback than Eli Manning. Much better. Better career. More viral. I know the two Super Bowls... statisticaly, better quarterback.

Trae Young looks like he sucks

Granted, I'm not a great basketball mind. That might surprise you at home. No, you're a brilliant basketball mind. But Trae Young looks like he sucks to me.

Luka Doncic dominated the second best league in the world and will be very good

Luka Doncic, I think, will be very good. He dominated the Spanish League. That's the second best league in the world. He's 18 years old. He won the MVP of the Spanish League in his 18. That's pretty fucking good.

Michael Porter Jr. fell in the draft because he doesn't have a spine

Michael Porter Jr. doesn't have a spine because that's the only reason why he fell all the way to the 14th pick. People actually thought – like he obviously was injured at Missouri... I'm just convinced he just doesn't have a spine.

Michael Porter Jr.'s hip injury is more concerning than his back injury

I'm more worried about the hip injury. I think hip is – and that's maybe just a recency bias because IT [Isaiah Thomas] just kind of stopped playing basketball. But if you're 18 years old and you've got a hip and you've got a back on your resume already – yeah, you basically can't play – you can't play sports.

The best you will ever see Mo Bamba is the first time you lay eyes on him

Our friend Matt Jones from Kentucky Sports Radio... had a great line about Mo Bamba. He said the best... The best you'll ever see Mo Bamba is the first time you lay eyes on him. Because then from that moment on, you're like, wait, he can't really play basketball?

Donante DiVincenzo and Matthew Dellavedova are the grittiest backcourt in history

I'm also psyched about the grittiest backcourt, perhaps, in NBA history with Dante DiVincenzo and Matthew Dellavedova. Ooh. Try driving to the hole and not drawing a charge with those two on the court... As owner of the New Zealand Breakers, I am entertaining trade discussions with the Bucks if they'd like to trade Dellavedova.

I would have chosen to sign with the Bulls even if I were a free agent

I thought I would choose Chicago if it was a free agency like... Fred [Hoiberg] is a great coach and they don't have, you know, a lot of bigs so it would be like a perfect situation for me.

Duke will win the National Championship if the players buy in and avoid egos

This depends on if everybody buys in. They definitely have the talent. There's no doubt about that, but as long as they don't let Egos get involved, they shouldn't be beat, honestly.

Zion Williamson will be a big time bust

Zion Williamson, bust. Big time bust. That guy stinks. He's got no explosiveness. That's what I'm saying because he's got a ton of explosiveness. So if you just say it's not NBA explosiveness, people are like, wow, that guy knows something that we don't know.

The NBA Finals celebration was a joke compared to the Stanley Cup Finals

Sick celebration that was at the end. Looked like they won that Saturday morning men's league that Big Cat plays in. But they won their NBA title. They're checking their phones to see how quickly they're on Instagram... Vegas, Washington had people on the edge of their seats. People were sleeping at the Golden State Warriors Arena. Snoozing if they won the title. What a league. What a joke.

Lionel Messi is dead

Messi's dead. Messi is dead. Dunzo. Listen, it's a team sport. Go back to Argentina, Messi. Okay? It's a team sport. Argentina stinks. Messi's great. Yeah.

The Cleveland Browns have found their quarterback in Baker Mayfield

I love Baker Mayfield... he was so calm and cool about it like he didn't get mad he was just like you're a fucking idiot man and so Cleveland I think you found your quarterback.

Dwight Howard is the worst teammate of all time

Dwight Howard, the worst teammate. Can we say he's the worst teammate of all time? Embrace the bait... Dwight Howard just being the worst teammate ever and no one wanting him. He alienated his teammates before we met him.

Dwight Howard would work on the Celtics

I actually think he would work on the Celtics. Call me crazy. But they wouldn't let him be the alpha. And if he didn't fit, he wouldn't fit. But I think he could fit.

NBA General Managers are dumb enough to be incepted into doing really weird things

NBA general managers we know from recent experience are dumb enough to be incepted into doing really weird things.

DeAndre Ayton signing with Puma is a major red flag

DeAndre Ayton, who signed with Puma. Red flag. So that's a red flag for you.

Luka Doncic is the best NBA prospect ever

I'm officially a Luka guy. I've never seen a second of film of him... I'm going to go with best prospect ever.

Wendell Carter Jr. is better than Marvin Bagley

We actually have Wendell Carter Jr. coming on Friday. I think he is better than Bagley.

Russia is a wagon in the 2018 World Cup

Russia is a wagon. Russia is really, really good when they're playing against the world's 70th ranked teams. They don't play down to their opponents.

Being married for only two months shouldn't count as a divorce

That doesn't count as a divorce, by the way. Two months? Yeah. That's an annulment. You're married for two months. That's just like, okay, all parties admit a mistake.

Real dinosaurs will be recreated within five years

A famed paleontologist, Dr. Jack Horner... came out and said that we're only five years from actually recreating real dinosaurs. Using chickens.

Puma is on a five-year comeback in the sports world

I think Puma's going to be on the comeback. Remember when players started going to Adidas a few years ago? Everyone was kind of shitting on it... Now Adidas is back. Puma's on the five-year come-up.
