Booger McFarland and Kedon Slovis on NFL MVP, Week 14 Preview, and Cali Bros

The Patriots dynasty is officially over, and the guys are wasting no time performing the autopsy. After a dismal Thursday night performance where the Rams dominated from start to finish, Big Cat was ready to read the last rites.

The Patriots are officially dead

Today is Friday, December 11th and the Patriots Hank. Are dead.

The Patriots finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

While the Patriots look like a shell of themselves, Sean McVay's squad looks poised for a deep run. Big Cat is buying high on the Rams' balance and defensive intensity, even if McVay still seems a little too happy-go-lucky on the sideline.

The Rams are very much for real

The Rams, I think, are very much for real.

The Rams finished 10-6 and won a playoff game before losing in the Divisional Round.

As for Cam Newton, the experiment in New England is trending toward a sad conclusion. PFT and Big Cat debated if Cam’s physical decline is simply too much to overcome, leading to a bold prediction about his future in the league.

Cam Newton might retire after this season

I don't know, I think Cam Newton might retire after this year.

Cam Newton did not retire; he played for the Patriots through 2020 and returned to the Panthers in 2021.

Week 14 Preview and Fantasy Fuccbois

It’s time to start savoring these moments because the football schedule is finally bottom-heavy. Big Cat reminded everyone to take a deep breath and realize there’s more football behind us than ahead of us. The Week 14 slate features some heavy hitters, but the guys aren't buying the hype on everyone.

The Dolphins are not for real

Are the Dolphins for real? No. No, they're not.

The Dolphins finished 10-6 but missed the playoffs, making this take mostly accurate in terms of them not being contenders.

Meanwhile, PFT continues to bang the drum for Tom Brady and the Bucs, despite their inconsistencies. He believes the raw personnel in Tampa is still the gold standard for the league.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the most talented team in the NFL

I'm going to go to my deathbed saying this. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the most talented team in the NFL.

The Buccaneers went on to win the Super Bowl that season, proving their talent was elite.

In the Fantasy Fuccbois segment, the alter-egos returned with smelling salts and questionable advice. Frankie Fettuccine and Jonos Malignantanos broke down why Paul George (Playoff P) is delusional for thinking he's in MVP form, while PFT advocated for letting Chris Carson eat in Seattle.

Booger McFarland on Dr. Heat and the MVP Race

Our good friend Booger McFarland joined the show to discuss everything from Boomer’s nickname war room to the current state of the Jets. Booger brought a spicy conspiracy theory regarding Gregg Williams’ final defensive call for the Jets, suggesting Dr. Heat might have been trying to sabotage Adam Gase on his way out.

Greg Williams called the cover zero blitz on purpose to spite Adam Gase

I think he did it on purpose based on the fact that he and Adam Gase just don't get along. ... The only way you lose that game is to make the call that Greg Williams made. And I just think that Greg wanted Adam Gase to wear 0-16 on his resume.

This is unprovable speculation, though Williams was fired immediately after the play.

Booger also weighed in on the MVP race, taking a stance that had Big Cat ready to fight. While Mahomes remains the most talented player in the world, Booger thinks the award belongs to a different veteran.

Aaron Rodgers is the 2020 NFL MVP over Patrick Mahomes

Rodgers right now is putting up career numbers. ... If we're going to judge the MVP based off what you've done and how great you've been, don't we have to judge Mahomes off what he did his MVP year... I think Mahomes has entered the LeBron category whereas he's clearly the best player in the league... but it's not a career year for him.

Aaron Rodgers won the 2020 NFL MVP award.

He also gave some hope to the Giants fans in the building, praising Joe Judge for actually being his own man and creating a defensive identity that could steal a weak division.

The Giants will win the NFC East if Daniel Jones stays healthy

If old Peyton Manning clone Daniel Jones can stay healthy, man, they'll win that division.

The Washington Football Team won the NFC East in 2020 with a 7-9 record, while the Giants finished 6-10.

Kedon Slovis Joins the QB Room

USC quarterback Kedon Slovis stopped by to be officially groomed for his future as a first-round pick. The guys discussed his tuba-playing past, working with Kurt Warner in high school, and his transition from an Arizona three-star recruit to the face of Southern Cal football. Slovis didn't hold back when describing the difference between his home state and his new home.

Arizona bros want to be California bros, but they're just not.

I feel like Arizona wants to be California, but they're just not. They're not. That's the only way to describe it. They think they're West Coast, but they're just really too far east to be [it].

This is a purely subjective geographical and cultural opinion.

Slovis also proved he has the confidence needed for the next level, promising that his 40-time will silence the critics who think his last name is a description of his play style.

I will run a sub-4.8 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine

I ran a 4.79 when I was in high school. ... I think we can easy target for [sub-4.8].

Kedon Slovis ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Combine, well under his target of sub-4.8. His prediction was correct.

We wrapped things up with a Billghazi update and Fyre Fest, where Jake Marsh mourned the future loss of the greatest theme song in sports history.

Losing the SEC on CBS theme song is a tragedy for college football

On behalf of all college football fans, we are losing the SEC on CBS theme song in 2024.

The SEC package officially moved to ABC/ESPN in 2024, and the CBS theme was retired from SEC broadcasts.

If the SEC on CBS music leaves us, college football might never feel the same again.

Coach K is the biggest front-running fraud of all time

Coach K is the biggest front-running fraud of all time. Not to brag, but we called it. It was a one game. Hank, they lost to Michigan State. They got killed by Illinois. And then Coach K said, we got to reassess and start really thinking about this COVID thing.

This is a subjective character judgment, though Coach K's decision to pause the season after losses was widely criticized as opportunistic.

You have to hammer the Saints against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

Jalen Hurts has only been an underdog in one single game in his career, dating back to high school. And in that game, they lost 63-28. So you've got to kind of hammer the Saints. ... As an underdog, he got smoked.

The Eagles defeated the Saints 24-21 in Jalen Hurts' first career start.

The Chargers are two head coaches away from being great.

The Chargers feel like they're two head coaches away from being great. ... So whoever they hire next is going to be a shithead, and then somehow they'll luck into the coach they get after that.

The Chargers fired Anthony Lynn after 2020, hired Brandon Staley (often criticized), and later Jim Harbaugh. PFT's cynicism about the 'next' coach (Staley) proved largely accurate for many fans.

The Bills beat the Steelers 26-15, which was a solid win but not necessarily a 'crushing' blowout.

The Buccaneers will figure it out and win in the postseason because talent always wins.

I'm still not giving up on the Buccaneers. ... If they get in the postseason, man, talent always wins. I'm always going to bet on talent before I bet on a great scheme or something. I'm going to bet on Brady and Gronk and Mike Evans and that defense. I would bet on them figuring it out more than I would them not.

The Buccaneers won four straight games in the postseason, including Super Bowl LV, to win the championship.

Sam Darnold should go to the Bears or the Colts next season.

Let's play musical quarterbacks. So let's assume the Jets get the first pick. They take Trevor Lawrence. So now where does Sam Darnold go? ... Chicago, Indy. ... I think those would be good homes.

Sam Darnold was traded to the Carolina Panthers in April 2021, not the Bears or Colts.

Alex Smith will be the Washington quarterback in 2021

I think Alex Smith will be there. He'll be the quarterback next year. And then they will draft a guy because Ron Rivera clearly wants his own quarterback.

Alex Smith was released by Washington in March 2021 and announced his retirement in April 2021.
