Adam Schefter on QB Dominoes, Mock News Pranks, and Combine Buzz
We are live from Indianapolis for the NFL Combine, the magical place where the entire football world gathers to watch grown men get measured and eat shrimp cocktail. Big Cat and PFT are deep in the trenches of Indy, reflecting on the grueling nature of standing at bars and the high-stakes anticipation of Bryce Young’s official weigh-in.
The State of the League from Indy
Before getting into the nitty-gritty of the Combine, Big Cat laid out his gambling strategy for the spring, which notably excludes a certain team from the City of Brotherly Love. Despite his love for torturing Max, even Big Cat has his limits when it comes to throwing money away.
Big CatThe 76ers have zero percent chance of winning the NBA title
The Sixers have no chance. So I will not be putting anything on the Sixers... I'm only betting things I actually think could win. I'm not gonna bet the Sixers have 0% chance.
As the guys discussed the vibe in Indy, the conversation naturally turned to the physical toll of the Combine week. Big Cat is championing a revolution where networking involves more recliners and fewer standing-room-only bars.
Big CatStanding up at bars is the most overrated thing people can do
Standing at a bar for about an hour and a half. That's usually my capacity. And the whole time I was like, this would be sweet if I could sit down... Standing is the most overrated thing people can do.
Adam Schefter’s Annual Visit
Adam Schefter joined the show for his annual Combine interview, and things got derailed almost immediately. Schefty pulled an all-time prank on PFT, faking a text from a "source" that Lamar Jackson had just been traded to the Commanders. Seeing PFT’s heart nearly explode with joy before being crushed was a top-tier PMT moment. Once the dust settled, they got into the actual QB market, which Schefter says is currently frozen.
Adam SchefterAaron Rodgers is the first domino in the NFL quarterback market
Everything's being held up right now by the quarterback in Green Bay. Yep. But he is outta the darkness. Once that happens, he's the first quarterback domino. Then all the other quarterback dominoes begin to fall.
They also discussed where these veteran QBs might land if the trade market finally heats up. For the most famous darkness-dweller in the league, Schefter thinks one AFC team stands out above the rest.
Adam SchefterThe Jets are the most likely trade destination for Aaron Rodgers
To me [the Jets] is the one that makes the most sense by far. Okay. And it's not, if he is gonna be traded, that's the place it would be.
Moving to the Draft, the big debate remains Bryce Young’s size. While everyone is obsessing over whether he hits the 6-foot mark, Schefter provided a realistic prediction for the measurements while Big Cat insisted that the talent will ultimately supersede the tape measure.
Adam SchefterBryce Young will measure in at 5'11" at the combine
My guess is five 11... He's hired a nutritionist to put on extra weight. So maybe you come in 195, 200.
Big CatBryce Young will be a top five draft pick regardless of his size
I think he eventually will just not matter [his size]. Yeah. It might matter when he's playing, but in terms of getting drafted, I don't think it will be that much of a bearing. I think he's going to go in the top five no matter what.
On the business side of the league, Schefter provided some major updates on ownership and the future of the league office. Despite the constant rumors, Schefty believes we haven't seen the last of the current commissioner, and he's doubling down on the sale of the Commanders.
Adam SchefterRoger Goodell will sign another contract extension as NFL Commissioner
I'll make a prediction. That could be a, I I think he'll sign another extension. Oh.
Adam SchefterDan Snyder will sell the Washington Commanders
I think he's going to sell a team... I don't think you go down this road and have people touring the building and have as many people around the league looking at you in the way that you do with all these investigations... I think by the start of the new year, I think there's a new owner.
Fyre Fest and Snake Hate
Fyre Fest of the week featured a major escalation in the guys' health and wellness journeys. PFT revealed that he was upsold on a cosmetic procedure during a routine scalp treatment, promising a new look for the tournament.
PFT CommenterI am going to have 'final four abs' by getting cool sculpting done on my stomach
When I went in to get my platelet-rich plasma injections into my scalp, I got upsold into getting cool sculpting done on my stomach. And so now my stomach hurts really bad. The good news is I'm gonna have final four abs.
Not to be outdone, Big Cat has a plan for his own physical transformation that involves "modern medicine" and a very specific lie he plans to tell everyone once he gets thin.
Big CatI am going to start taking Ozempic and tell everyone I just learned how to eat right
I am going to do that insulin medicine without telling anyone, and someday I'll just start shedding pounds and everyone be like, 'what is he doing?' and I'd be like, 'ah, I just learned how to eat right. I'm 40 years old, I just started following a diet.'
Finally, Hank and the guys took a firm stand against the most sinister community on the internet: snake owners. After an AWL sent in a photo of a dispatched coral snake, the backlash from "scale heads" prompted a passionate defense of the car stick.
HankSnake owners are absolute weirdos and potential serial killers
It's serial killer vibes to be a pro snake... Snakes literally have had the worst rap. Deservedly so in the history of animals... Just get a dog.
Max also got his licks in on Juju Smith-Schuster, who has managed to become the most-hated man in Philadelphia after a series of TikTok skits following the Super Bowl.
MaxJuju Smith-Schuster is a piece of shit and AJ Brown would beat him up
He's a piece of shit. Like, I don't know who he thinks he is... AJ Brown would beat the absolute fucking... AJ Brown would've. AJ Brown basically said, said that he would, he would beat the fuck out of him if he's keep talking about him.
Hopefully, Bryce Young measures in at a height that makes everyone happy and nobody gets bitten by a Nazi snake before Monday.
