A.J. Green on Andy Dalton’s Haircut, the SEC, and Draft Grades
The 2016 NFL Draft is officially in the books, which means Big Cat is currently in the throes of a full-blown addiction to draft grades. Even though deep down everyone knows they’re meaningless, there’s something about a B-plus that just hits the spot. The guys looked back at some of the all-time misses, including Mel Kiper’s infamous praise of Ryan Leaf. PFT even held out a olive branch for one of the most forgotten busts in recent memory.
PFT CommenterJimmy Clausen still has the potential to be a good NFL quarterback
To be fair, Jimmy [Clausen]'s put together a couple of good games. Like jury's still out on Jimmy.
To get a real feel for the draft, they checked in with Philly legend EatThatPussy445 for his unfiltered thoughts on the Eagles' haul. He wasn't exactly over the moon about the strategy in the early rounds.
PFT CommenterHating Philadelphia is the most Philadelphia thing a person can do
Isn't hating Philadelphia like that's the most Philadelphia thing that you can do?
Twitter History and Draft Night Disasters
One of the biggest themes of this year's draft was players forgetting to delete their old, embarrassing, or outright problematic tweets. From Wendell Smallwood hating on Philly to Laramie Tunsil’s gas mask heard 'round the world, the guys wondered why agents aren't doing basic digital housekeeping. PFT has a more radical solution for the next generation of prospects.
EatThatPussy445The Eagles deserve a C+ for their 2016 draft because they didn't move up for a wide receiver
If I had to give the Eagles a draft grade, I would give them a solid C+. Why? Because I strongly feel like even though they traded their picks up and they drafted Carson Wentz, who I think's a fucking G, I feel like they could have made a move and traded up to get into the second round and get a wide receiver.
Carson Wentz also had some old posts resurface, including a questionable one about RG3. PFT expects the internet to have a very long memory when things eventually go south on the field.
PFT CommenterSocial media accounts for children should be banned
It's getting to the point in this country where, like, I don't want my children to have social media accounts. I think, like, our country has reached the point where let's just shut it down. Nobody else gets a Twitter account.
A.J. Green Joins the Show
Cincinnati Bengals superstar wide receiver A.J. Green joined Big Cat and PFT to talk about life in the NFL and his time in the SEC. A.J. shared that LSU at night is the undisputed king of hostile environments, while Vanderbilt is basically just a field full of nerds. The conversation eventually turned to the Bengals' locker room, specifically addressing the ginger elephant in the room: Andy Dalton’s hair.
PFT CommenterJohnny Manziel should become a sports blogger
He needs to become a blogger. He needs to write for the Players' Tribune. I'm sure they'll hire him over there. ... because pretty much all bloggers do all day is they talk about sports and then they get drunk at night. And that seems like it would be like a square peg, square hole situation.
Green was also there to promote Rockin' Refuel, leading to a breakdown of how much protein one actually needs to look jacked. PFT had his own theory on how to look muscular without actually stepping foot in a gym.
AJ GreenLSU at night is the hardest stadium to play in the SEC
And the hardest [place to play] is probably like LSU. At night. Yeah, that's rough.
Handshake Lines and Talking Soccer
Over in the NBA, the guys are bored out of their minds with the blowouts, leading to some suspicious theories about the Golden State Warriors' performance while their star is sidelined.
PFT CommenterNot being verified on Twitter is a blessing because it provides a 'built-in Fifth Amendment' to deny saying things
Maybe us being not verified is a blessing in disguise, kind of like a built-in Fifth Amendment for ourselves that we can just say we didn't say things.
They also took aim at the hockey media's obsession with the handshake line. While NHL purists treat it like the pinnacle of human achievement, Big Cat isn't buying the hype, noting that other sports do it better and more naturally.
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.
In a quick "Talking Soccer" segment, the guys addressed the Leicester City miracle. In a world where a 5,000-to-1 longshot wins a title, PFT smells a rat.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers' hard count is unsportsmanlike and the 'quarterback version of entrapment'
I actually agree with him [Richard Klatt]. Well, it's kind of the NFL quarterback's version of entrapment, right? Like if you're a police officer, you're not allowed to entice somebody into committing a crime. Why would you be able to like trick somebody into committing a penalty?
Explain it to Hank and Fun Facts
The guys gave a lesson in aging to Hank, who doesn't understand why Big Cat and PFT have to consume Tums like they're Skittles. They also touched on the complex ethics of tipping. Big Cat has a very specific set of rules for making sure the service industry doesn't trash you in an ESPN long-form article ten years from now.
The show wrapped up with the debut of "Fun Facts," where Hank attempted to offer medical advice that likely hasn't been vetted by any actual doctors.
We'll see if anyone actually tries a somersault the next time they have a calf cramp, but please don't sue us if it doesn't work.
