The NFL will move the Combine to LA just to make it shittier and more expensive

I'm going to miss Indy because... this is probably the last year that the combine is going to be in Indy because the NFL, anytime they have something nicer, like, well, how can I make this 50% shittier, but make more money doing it. So they're going to move it. People were speculating, maybe Dallas. I actually hope that they move it to LA because just to see the big Jay's just shit themselves.

The Combine stayed in Indy for 2023, 2024, and 2025, though the league continues to consider other cities.

Aaron Rodgers is officially retiring from the NFL

My arch nemesis, Aaron Nagler... he actually told me breaking news that Aaron Rodgers is going to retire... he was actually crying when he told me it. So I had to like console him. He cried on my shoulder. He's like, Aaron Rodgers is going to retire. I was like, dude, I'm sorry. That's really, really tough.

Aaron Rodgers did not retire in 2022; he signed a massive extension with the Packers shortly after this episode.

Never buy James Harden, always lease him on six-month rentals

Maybe that's the key to James Harden. You just need six month rentals where it's like, he's going to be in shape. He's going to be happy. He's going to try really hard. And you lease him. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Never, never buy James Harden always lease him.

Harden's tenure with the Sixers eventually soured, leading to a trade request to the Clippers, fitting Big Cat's 'lease' theory.

Jim Boeheim is 100% coaching at Syracuse next year

I asked a quiz question to the, to, to everyone in the car... how many years do you think Jim Boeheim has been at Syracuse? ...He's been at Syracuse for 46 years and he's still not retiring... he's coaching next year. One a hundred percent. Yeah.

Jim Boeheim did return for the 2022-23 season, which was his final year at Syracuse.

Kliff Kingsbury could have had the Oklahoma head coaching job if he wanted it

I get a call from somebody, not in the Kliff Kingsbury camp, connected to the [Sooners]... and they said, are you aware of the fact that Oklahoma is kind of after him? ...I made a couple more calls and found out that if he wanted that job, he could have it. Now. Now it was portrayed as I'm giving Kliff Kingsbury leverage. I could care less.

While Kingsbury stayed with the Cardinals, the claim that he had the offer is a sourced fact from Schefter.

Tom Brady was in talks to be a limited owner of the Miami Dolphins

He was retiring. I mean, there were other plans he's doing a movie. He was talked about as a limited owner of the Miami Dolphins. His family was at like, the decision had been made. He was retiring and we reported it.

This was later confirmed by numerous reports and the Dolphins were eventually sanctioned for tampering with Brady.

Tom Brady will not play again this year, but might get the itch in July

Today I would say not going to play again today. Well, listen today, March 2nd, as we tape, I don't think he's going to play again, how he's going to feel in July and August when people are going back to training camp... he may get the itch.

Tom Brady unretired just 11 days later, on March 13, 2022, far earlier than July.

Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback for the Seahawks in 2022

Russell Wilson is the starting quarterback for the Seahawks to start the season. I would, I would think that that would be the case.

Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos on March 8, 2022, just days after this interview.

The Commanders should trade for Carson Wentz

Carson Wentz. I, I think we should put them in Washington just to see PFT's soul leave his body.

The Commanders did indeed trade for Carson Wentz on March 9, 2022.

Dan Snyder has zero intent to sell the Washington Commanders

I can't see Dan Snyder ever voluntarily selling. ...I don't think so. I, I think he he's got zero, zero intent to sell.

Snyder eventually did sell the team in 2023, though Schefter's 'voluntary' qualifier is the key to why he felt he wouldn't.

Madison Airport (MSN) is an 8.6 out of 10

Final ratings... I'm going to say now this is obviously on a curve because the regional airport... I love how small and quaint it is. I'm going to give it an eight on eight and a half. ...PFT: 9.1... Hank: 8.1... Let's say 8.6 for the people. 8.6. It's a pretty good rating.

This is a subjective show rating.
