Takes
HankLacrosse will be the fourth major sport in America in 30 years
Should lacrosse take over soccer as the fourth major sport? I think it's got to be us. I think we've got to take it upon ourselves... 30 years.
Dan HarenThe Cubs will win the National League and the Blue Jays will win the American League
I like the Cubs still. I do like the Cubs... AL, I like the Blue Jays. I do like the Blue Jays, yeah... they had a little experience. They got some guys in the bullpen, pretty good starting staff, and a lineup's a joke.
Dan HarenThe Cubs will trade for a relief pitcher and it will cost them a significant asset
The Cubs probably need to get a reliever. Maybe the Schwarber for Andrew Miller thing happens... I'm pretty certain they're going to add an arm in the bullpen, and it's going to take a lot to get one of those guys.
Big CatGiancarlo Stanton will suffer a massive slump after winning the Home Run Derby
Thoughts and prayers for Giancarlo Stanton's swing. He won the home run derby. So everyone knows here comes the slump. You can't win the home run... sorry, man. You're going to have a really bad second half.
Dontrelle WillisThe Chicago Cubs will win the 2016 World Series
If you were to pick the World Series right now, it sounds like the Cubs. Would you say the Cubs right now or somebody else? Yeah, I would say the Cubs.
Big CatDwyane Wade will win a title in Chicago
Dwayne Wade, he's going to win a title in Chicago. I don't know how it's going to work. They have Rondo, Jimmy Butler, and Dwayne Wade who all play isolation basketball for a coach that wants to move the ball and shoot threes. None of them shoot threes, but... Diddy and Skylar Gray had that video [I'm Coming Home], baby.
Jon AnikMark Hunt will beat Brock Lesnar at UFC 200
Brock hasn't fought mixed martial arts since 2011. So I see some value on Mark Hunt. Strong lean for me towards Mark Hunt. I think you always fade a guy who hasn't competed in five years. Even an athlete as exceptional as Brock Lesnar, he's going to have to prove to me that he's back in this space and ready to win against a guy who is in the top ten.
Big CatI hope the Cavaliers beat the Warriors again next year
I hope the Cavs beat the Warriors again next year. Then David West goes to the Cavs. And then the Warriors beat the Cavs. And he's just stuck losing like every single year.
PFT CommenterRussell Wilson's sex with Ciara on their wedding night will be fast and furious because of his long celibacy
Russell has not had sex in a long time. He's not going to be, how shall we put, he's not going to be gentle with you. He's not going to last long. Silver lining. Spin zone. It's going to be fast. It's going to be furious. It's not going to be fun. Russell is going to be having sex like somebody who can get shot at any time.
Big CatBig Cat will enter a zone and eat 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes at the Nathan's contest
Maybe I just get in a zone and I eat 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Leicester City, 1,500 to 1 odds. Just saying, things happen.
PFT CommenterBig Cat will fail to hit double digits in the hot dog contest; the over-under should be 7.5
I'd be shocked if you hit double digits. I would say that the over-under should be set at about seven and a half.
Big CatI will eat at least 10 hot dogs in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
I am going to get double digits. It's going to shock the world. People are going to be like, you know what? All I want is I'm not going to win the contest. But I want at the end of the contest for whoever the Todd McShay, Mel Kiper of the hot dog eating world is to be like, here's a riser for next year, guys. Watch out for him.
PFT CommenterKobe Bryant is considering the Knicks, Celtics, Spurs, Raptors, or Clippers in free agency
I think this is the best-kept secret in free agency so far is what teams is Kobe Bryant taking meetings with? I think he's going to the Knicks, the Celtics, the Spurs or the Raptors? Kobe's a big foreign guy. He's cultured. I think he might want to spend some time up north... [Big Cat suggests Clippers] Yeah, he's probably taking a meeting with them. Yeah. Kobe going to LA.
Big CatKevin Durant will end up staying with the Oklahoma City Thunder
NBA free agency is here, and that means one thing... it's going to be Kevin Durant mania, even though he's going to end up just going back to Oklahoma City.
AsirTommy Lasorda was about to die but his life has been saved through prayer
There's one more. That's about to go, actually... It's Tommy Lasorda. but we may have intercepted here okay we may have... I think that we've already done that [asked for forgiveness to save him].
PFT CommenterThe European Union is hurt, not injured, following Brexit and will make a major comeback
The EU, in my opinion, is hurt. I don't think that they're injured. This is a minor setback for a major comeback... The EU is going to get back on that horse. They're going to bring in like Turkey and Russia and really get Britain's attention and Britain will be like, yeah, we fucked up. I'm sorry. Can I have you back? Things will get back together.
HankGershon Yabusele is the Celtics' future championship captain
The Celtics drafted their future championship captain, Gershon Yabusele, from France.
PFT CommenterThe next trend in the NBA will be drafting the fattest team possible
The Warriors got good by doing the opposite of everybody else. They went small. There's going to be a swing soon. You want to get out in front of that and just draft the fattest team possible.
Big CatThe Knicks should sign Dwight Howard to form a 'Big Three' with Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose
Dwight Howard might come to New York... Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony. Whoa. Talk about some fucking all-stars, bro. That's a big three, man.
PFT CommenterJulio Jones will have a breakout year in 2016
I would be on the lookout for Julio Jones. I think that this is going to be his breakout year.
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.
PFT CommenterLeBron James will go play minor league baseball for the Chicago White Sox
LeBron James is going to go play minor league baseball for the Chicago White Sox.
Big CatLeBron James will sign with the Lakers and change his name to LeBron Bryant
I'm going to say number one, the Lakers, and he switches his name to LeBron Bryant and wears Kobe Bryant's jersey all next year.
Antoine WalkerLeBron James would have entertained leaving Cleveland if they had lost the 2016 Finals
I think if he didn't win the title... You know, you can put a lot of different scenarios together. I think he probably would have thought about leaving. I think obviously now winning, he can't go nowhere. But I did believe if they did lose, he would have entertained. But I thought he would try to go west.
PFT CommenterSkip Bayless will get 'West Coast soft' and lose his edge at Fox Sports
I don't think that what they're going to do with him on Fox Sports is going to be nearly as good because he's going to get West Coast soft. He's not going to have somebody as fiery to debate. It's like separating two dogs from each other that have grown up together their whole life.
HankThe Cavaliers will beat the Warriors in Game 7 with a final score of 93-89
My prediction is I feel like the Cavs are going to take this one somewhere in the neighborhood of 93 to 89. I don't expect Love to have a big night scoring, but I do think he's going to make a statement on the boards. You can expect another triple-double from LeBron coming. Curry is going to choke big time again. I'd be shocked if he got above 17 points total.
PFT CommenterLeBron James is likely to leave Cleveland now that his mission is accomplished
My question is, is this the worst thing that could ever happen in Cleveland? Like, is LeBron James gone now? Like, is his mission in town over? Why would you want to stay in Cleveland if you're LeBron? Like, what if he goes back to Miami?
PFT CommenterSigning Harrison Barnes to a max deal this offseason will be a mistake
I want to give an advanced thoughts and prayers to whoever signs Harrison Barnes to a max deal this offseason. So, like, my guess if we're power ranking, like, which team would be the team to, like, load up on a whole shitload of Harrison Barnes, I'm going to guess – I'm just going to throw this out here and say the Suns.
Spencer HawesThe 2018 NBA Finals will be the Charlotte Hornets vs. the Seattle SuperSonics
2018 NBA Final predictions, give us a winner as well. Hornets in five... Hornets versus Sonics. Sonics are back. Hornets in five. Book it.
Big CatThe winning score at the 2016 U.S. Open will be plus 25
I heard the winning score is going to be like plus 25. Doesn't matter with DraftKings it will be fun the triple bogeys will be exhilarating.
PFT CommenterThe Ducks will play the Capitals in the 2018 Stanley Cup Final
I've got the Ducks and the Capitals. Ducks and Caps. And Ovechkin's not on the team anymore, by the way. Ovechkin's on the Ducks.
Big CatThe Oilers will play the Panthers in the 2018 Stanley Cup Final
I got the Oilers because they probably have – they're going to somehow figure out a way to get like six more first-round picks between now and 2018. And the Florida Panthers.
PFT CommenterThe Cavaliers will lose the 2016 NBA Finals in six games
The series hasn't started yet... real talk... they're going to lose in six.
Big CatThe NBA will give the Cavs the 'David Stern treatment' with favorable officiating in Game 4
I think they're going to win game four. And I think we're going to get another David Stern treatment where they'll get some calls. And game five and six, the Warriors will punish them.
Randy MossDestin is a better play to win the Belmont Stakes than Exaggerator
Destin, who ran in the Kentucky Derby, didn't have the best of trips... Todd Pletcher trains him. Now he gives him five weeks off, and he brings him back to the Belmont fresh. And I think that makes a horse like Destin a much better play than a horse like Exaggerator.
PFT CommenterTrent Richardson is definitely taking steroids if he thinks he is a Hall of Famer
Pre-crime. Trent Richardson is going to be using steroids. I'd say it's a fair assumption. He obviously has not taken any performance-enhancing drugs... but he hasn't been taking PEDs [yet].
PFT CommenterThe US Men's National Soccer Team could make some noise in the next two World Cups
I'd say that [soccer is] better than ever. I would say not this World Cup and next World Cup. The U.S. could really make some noise.
PFT CommenterGame 3 of the 2016 NBA Finals is a 'can't lose' for the Cavaliers
I think it's a can't lose because if they lose it, then the series has officially begun and then Steph Curry is going to just put the nail in the coffin in game four. So they have to win it because if they lose it, then they won't win another one.
Ryan WhitneyThe San Jose Sharks have no chance to come back against the Penguins in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final
Done. Done. Oh, that's not a chance. Like it was pretty stupid. They would even waste the money that it costs to pay for the private jet out to play the game and lose and then have to fly home. ... They're just a better team overall.
Big CatThe Cavaliers are officially dead after Game 2 of the NBA Finals
The Cavaliers are officially dead. I feel confident about this time. I've done this before, and I had to eat some crow... because the Cavaliers have been blown out now two times.
Blake GriffinThe Cavaliers are finished in the 2016 NBA Finals
Cavs, done or finished. It's looking pretty bad, man. I actually thought they were going to win tonight. It's looking pretty bad. I'm going to say they're finished.
Big CatSoccer will officially catch on in the US during the summer of 2016
I'll tell you what, man. This is the summer it catches on. You watch. Some people have called it the summer of soccer. I think so. If they could get a big tie against like a Brazil or something, that's the launching point for soccer being the biggest sport in America.
Big CatLeBron James will have to move cities or fire his team if the Cavs lose the Finals
It looks like LeBron [James] is going to either have to move cities again or fire his whole team.
Paul BissonnetteThe San Jose Sharks will be swept if they lose Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals
I would say game three, if they [the Sharks] lose, I could predict a sweep, but I wouldn't count them out.
Michael RapaportWarriors in 7 over the Cavaliers
Warriors in 7. In a heartbreaker in Oracle Arena. It's going to be a heartbreaker.
