Barry Sanders, David Justice 06/27/2016

Monday, June 27, 201612 takes

The guys face the maximum amount of travel adversity to tape the show at 3 am and start with a story from Big Cat's weekend. Discussion then turns to whether or not Messi lacks the clutch gene or is just a descendant of Nazis. Barry Sanders and David Justice join the show to talk about their respective careers, why Barry doesn't smile, and how awkward is it for David and Halle Berry. Segments include "PR 101" for Johnny Manziel, "Not afraid to go there" featuring Tavaris Jackson's wife, "Hurt or Injured" for the European Union and our newest segment "Hey JJ".

I am going to make pooping your pants as an adult socially acceptable

None of it comes even close to what I'm trying to accomplish when it comes to making pooping your pants as an adult not something to be ashamed of. I'm a 31-year-old man. I make mistakes just like you... If this happens to you, don't be ashamed. I'm here for you. I want to give a voice to the voiceless, the grown adults out there.

Whether pooping your pants is socially acceptable remains subjective, but it became a recurring joke in PMT lore.

Lionel Messi lacks the clutch gene and is likely a relative of Nazi Josef Mengele

I think that Messi might be a relative of a Nazi because a lot of them went to Argentina after the war to try to escape. Now, there was a doctor [Josef Mengele]... He was unable to uncover the clutch gene and isolate it. And that's why, you know, like Hitler, if he had had the clutch gene, he probably wouldn't have choked... Mingel moved to South America, had sex with an Argentinian. A few years later you get [Messi].

The timeline doesn't work out as Big Cat notes, and the biological claim is obviously false.

Lionel Messi should go to Cleveland and win a championship to repair his legacy

When the whole world thinks you're a quitter and is down on you, you go to Cleveland and you win a championship.

Messi never played for a Cleveland-based team; he stayed in Europe before eventually joining Inter Miami in 2023.

Under Armour signed Lionel Messi because they specialize in signing the biggest chokers in sports

Congratulations to Under Armour for apparently signing Lionel Messi to round out their stable of Spieth, Cam Newton, and Steph Curry, the biggest chokers in the world.

Hot TakeSoccerFireSarcastic
Messi never signed with Under Armour; he has a lifetime deal with Adidas. Also, calling those athletes chokers is a subjective hot take.

All mustard is trash

I have nothing on my Mount Rushmore because all mustard is trash.

Condiment preference is inherently a matter of personal opinion.

I can probably still dunk on a 10-foot goal

[Can you still dunk?] You mean on a 10-foot goal? Yes. Probably not... Yeah, I mean, yeah I could. I could.

There is no video evidence of Barry Sanders dunking at this age, though he was an elite athlete.

Yankee fans are the most knowledgeable fans in baseball

I think number one in terms of knowledge would be Yankee fans.

Fan knowledge is a subjective measure and cannot be definitively proven.

George Steinbrenner was the greatest owner in sports history

Best owner ever. I had the utmost respect because I don't think I've ever seen an owner that wants to win as much as George Steinbrenner wanted to win. Like, literally, we played 162 games. I really think that he wanted us to win 162 games, like not one loss.

Ranking owners is a subjective matter of opinion.

Tarvaris Jackson's wife is a Hall of Famer for mocking his on-field accuracy while he was holding a gun

Jax and his wife said to him [while he pointed a gun at her], you better be accurate because you ain't accurate on the field. That's so quick... she actually is facing death and she's still not afraid to go there. Not afraid to go there Hall of Fame.

The story was widely reported at the time; her 'Hall of Fame' status in a comedy segment is subjective.

The 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.

The UK has not rejoined the EU, and the EU has not added Russia or Turkey as members since this take.

JJ Watt eating a raw egg on Jimmy Fallon is condoning mass murder and sweatshops

Each egg is actually like a chicken abortion. So like you're basically condoning mass murder when you eat that egg... eggs are produced in unsanitary hen houses. So they're basically sweatshops for chickens. So that's not cool.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
The claim that eating a raw egg is 'mass murder' is a satirical exaggeration and factually incorrect in a biological/legal sense.

Game of Thrones is for nerds and we watch sports instead

Game of Thrones for nerds. We watch sports. You watch your little fantasy land shit. If we're going to call you a nerd, we're going to call you a nerd and you're going to fucking like it... The real nerds are the people that don't watch it.

Categorizing fans as 'nerds' is a subjective social label.
