Arian FosterFootball will be in danger of disappearing in 50 to 60 years due to safety and science
I would say like 50, 60 years down the road [football is in danger], because if you look at the science and getting more and more clear on it, that this is a, it's an extremely dangerous sport... And the reason why we fell in love with football was because it was very violent in nature. And you love those big hits. And the science keeps coming, and the rules keep digressing.
PFT CommenterJeff Fisher is the 'Rasputin' of the NFL and is guaranteed a contract extension wherever he goes
You're not giving Jeff Fisher enough credit because Jeff Fisher, he's Rasputin. Once he gets in the building, he knows how to whisper into his boss. You shoot him and he just keeps walking forward. Jeff Fisher is absolutely getting at least one contract extension, no matter where he goes. That's a fact.
PFT CommenterAndy Reid is on track for his annual first-round playoff loss

PFT CommenterThe Rockets and Celtics will meet in the NBA Finals
Rocket Celtics calling it right now. [Warriors?] No. [The Rockets beat them] in seven.
Mike FlorioThe Bengals might move Marvin Lewis to the front office and hire Hugh Jackson as head coach
Let me lay out this scenario. Marvin stays in Cincinnati, graduates to the front office where he's essentially the GM because they don't have one as it is. And then, some way, somehow, they bring back Hugh Jackson to be the coach of the team, and it's Marvin and Hugh working together in Cincinnati.
Mike FlorioThe Jaguars have the ingredients to win in New England or Pittsburgh in January
I think this is a team that could win in New England in the divisional round, it could win in Pittsburgh in the divisional round, and it could keep the AFC championship game from happening... It's a Florida team that has all the ingredients to play in the elements in January.
Mike FlorioThomas Davis will not be suspended for his hit on Davante Adams because it wasn't in primetime
Same hit that Juju Smith-Schuster put on Vontaze Burfict. But because that game today didn't happen in primetime, they're not going to suspend Thomas Davis. That's my prediction.
PFT CommenterBill Belichick will have Alex Guerrero killed within two years of Tom Brady retiring
Bill Belichick is going to have Guerrero killed within probably two years of Brady retiring. He knows too much.

PFT CommenterThe coal miner fighter at Rough N Rowdy is the lock of the century
There was this one dude that I looked out into the crowd. He was getting signed up for the fight. He was wearing his coal mining uniform. He had coal dust all over his face. That dude is going to win. Yes. Lock of the century on the coal miner that just comes straight from work.
HankI will knock out Tex in the second round
Second round knockout. Woo! Boy. Actually, I'm 100% on board with that... I'm going to knock his ass out. Double sit-em. And my sleeper is the left-handed uppercut. Watch out for that in the second round when I fucking knock Tex's ass out.
Big CatThe Patriots will beat the Steelers in Week 15
Everyone's talking about the Patriots-Steelers game. And I'm saying, hmm, the Steelers, like, everyone's healthy. Le'Veon Bell's healthy. They could probably beat the Patriots. Don't overthink it. Patriots are probably going to win.
Big CatAaron Rodgers will beat the Panthers in his return from injury
Packers-Panthers. Aaron Rodgers back. Everyone's saying, well, he's rusty. I'm not overthinking it. Aaron Rodgers is going to win this game.
Big CatThe Seahawks will beat the Rams at home in December
Rams-Seahawks. Again, don't overthink it because I love the Rams. I love Jared Goff. But the Seahawks don't lose at home in December. No. They do not... Not against the quarterback caliber of Jared Goff.
Big CatThe Chiefs will beat the Chargers at home
Chargers Chiefs. The hottest team in the league. Chiefs at home. Yes, yes. As much as I love the Chargers. No, because I'm doing the old close your eyes and think about what's most likely going to happen, and it's going to be cold, it's going to be loud... Phillip Rivers is going to be down a score and doing his thing... It's not going to work.
Big CatLeBron James will join the Lakers in six months
LeBron and Lonzo had a very secret out-in-the-open meeting... it's either one of two things. One, LeBron just being like, yo, dude, just hang in there because I'll be there in like six months, which I think is probably the case.
All Business PeteTex will beat Hank at Rough N Rowdy
I'm picking Tex. I am... Because I think everybody's on Team Hank. I'm just being a contrarian... I'm going against the house... I haven't thought about it, but I don't see a real knockout.
Big CatThe Chargers will sneak into the 2017 playoffs
I think the Chargers will probably sneak in. There's not one team I can be like, you know what? They could probably make a run, which I don't think we've had that in a really long time.
PFT CommenterThe Jaguars are going to make the 2017 AFC Championship Game
I'm going out on a limb. I think that the Jaguars are making the AFC Championship. They have that right mix where it's like they have a great defense. If they just run the ball, let Blake [Bortles] be Blake.
Big CatThe Falcons are a 'lurker' team that knows how to win ugly and can make a deep run
I think we haven't heard the last of Dan Quinn in the Falcons. I feel like they're the lurker. You know what I mean? The team, it's like they have all the pieces, and they've played really shitty and survived... They would know how to win ugly.
HankI am going to kill Dylan Tech Stone at Rough N' Rowdy
My hot seat is Dylan Tech Stone. He's the person I'm fighting on Friday, December 15th at the Rough and Rowdy. It might be just because I'm all hyped up on pre-workout right now, but I'm going to fucking kill him.
Big CatThe Chargers will be the best team to not make the playoffs
The [LA] Chargers might be the hottest team in the NFL right now... ever since I said they were going to be the best team to not make the playoffs and you guys laughed. The Raiders probably will be the best team to not make the playoffs [initially], but I was so right. This Chargers team not only is their schedule cupcakes, but they are balling.
PFT CommenterThe Chargers are going to make the playoffs
I am sorry about the Raiders comment, but you were very wrong about the Chargers comment because they are going to make the playoffs.
Big CatThe NFC Championship will be Vikings vs. Packers
Aaron Rodgers isn't even going to play this season, and he's going to somehow get to the NFC Championship game... It's going to be Vikings-Packers for my real personal hell.
Jim RossOklahoma is good enough to win the national championship this year
Do you think that this year the team is good enough to win a title? Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely... I believe that they have it to do because if we can get an occasional three and out, a turnover, shorten your time of possession to get the other guy's offense off the field, the more chances the sooner offense has to play.
Uncle ChapsThe Jaguars season is AFC Championship or bust
We're at the point now, the defense is so good... It's AFC Championship or bust.

HankThe Browns will beat the Packers in Week 14
I'm going to lock back on you. I'm going to take the Browns. ... Oh, fuck. Your last name's Lockwood. That makes your locks. Double lock. ... I'm locked up. All you listeners out there, go with Hank.
Big CatThe Raiders vs. Chiefs game is a loser-leaves-town game and the Chiefs will lose
It is officially a loser leaves town game because I think the loser of that game is done, and I think the Chiefs are probably going to lose.
PFT CommenterThe Jaguars will beat the Seahawks and prove they are for real
I'm just going to call it right now. The Jaguars are going to beat the Seahawks at home. And then afterwards, you know what the big talk of the town is going to be? ... These Jags are for real.
Matt JonesThe 2017-18 college basketball season is Duke's to lose
I think by the end of the year, they [Kentucky] can be good. But this year, it's Duke's to lose.
Matt JonesKentucky's current freshmen are not good enough to go to the NBA and will all return
I honestly think this year's freshmen aren't good enough for to go to the NBA. That's what's weird about this group. But what that means is they're all going to come back.
Matt JonesRick Pitino will lose his $38 million lawsuit against Louisville
Rick Pitino, he is suing Louisville for $38 million. Is he going to win? No.
HankI am giving up masturbation to get an edge for my upcoming fight
I've decided to give up masturbation. So for those who don't know, Hank is actually fighting. It's a real fight, Rough N Rowdy. December 15th. I need every edge I can get.

TMZ video... I think he's got probably a great shot at winning. I can't confirm or deny [my vote], but I think he's got probably a great shot at winning.
Matt LeinartOklahoma is the best team in college football right now
But I think Oklahoma is the best team right now. Baker Mayfield, they're a great man.

I think Lamar [Jackson] is going to get drafted higher than people think. I think Baker Mayfield is going to get drafted higher than people think.
Big CatDonald Trump is going to put LaVar Ball on the million dollar bill
Donald Trump is going to put LaVar Ball on money. He's going to be on the million dollar bill. ... Weren't they going to change the $20 bill recently? Harriet Tubman, yeah. Well, not anymore because I think LaVar Ball's got his eye on it.
Big CatArizona State football is going to 'fucking suck' under Herm Edwards
Herm Edwards sucked when he was still a coach, and he hasn't coached for 10 years. And now he's going to go back to a college campus and coach. Arizona State football is going to fucking suck.
PFT CommenterThe Packers will run the table and make the playoffs when Aaron Rodgers returns
Don't look now, but Brett Hundley has done what we didn't think Brett Hundley could do, which is basically, like, steer them mediocrely for, like, you know, five weeks, and then Aaron Rodgers [is] going to come back. No, the Packers are definitely – I mean, they're going to run the table.
Richie IncognitoThe Bills will finish 10-6 and make the playoffs
Everything's out in front of us. I mean, we just got to start winning. I'll go 10-6. Win a road game in New England. The curse has been broken. Yes, we're coming. We're coming for you [Brady].
Big CatClemson is the best team in the country and will crush Alabama in the playoffs
I actually think Clemson's going to win it all. I think they're the best team. I think they're going to whoop the fuck out of Alabama, which is going to be hilarious because then you get the Ohio State fans being like, should have been us to get the whoop the fuck out of Clemson.
PFT CommenterThe Dolphins +1.5 over the Broncos is a lock
I got the Dolphins. Plus one and a half. Jay Cutler's back. Yes, Mr. Fourth Quarter... Also big time revenge game against the Broncos.
Tom FornelliGeorgia will beat and cover against Auburn in the SEC Championship
I think that this week in Atlanta, where it's going to be a far friendlier environment for the Bulldogs, they're going to get back to the run game... So I really like Georgia in this one, not just to cover the two and a half, but just to win.
Tom FornelliIf Ohio State beats Wisconsin, Alabama will get the 4th playoff spot
If Ohio State beats Wisconsin, I think Alabama will get that spot. As long as Clemson beats Miami, Oklahoma beats TCU, and then it probably doesn't really matter what happens in the SEC title game.
Anthony AdamsWisconsin will beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship
I'm going with Wisconsin, man. 13-0 after this game, 13-0... I think Jonathan Taylor is a player, dog. Like, I like his game, bro.
