Stanford Steve on Brackets, Snooki in Studio, and NFL Free Agency
NFL Free Agency is in full swing, and while Big Cat is riding the high of the Chicago Bears finally making moves to not be the worst team in football, the Aaron Rodgers saga is hovering over everyone like a dark cloud. As of the taping, Rodgers still hasn't made his official announcement, and Big Cat has seen enough of the drama to last a lifetime.
Big CatAaron Rodgers is a bitch for how he's handling his decision
Aaron Rodgers is being a fucking bitch. He is being a real bitch. This is like vindication for me where everyone has slowly been like, dude, just make a decision. This is annoying. You're holding everyone else up.
The Jets are currently being held hostage by a wishlist of friends Rodgers wants to bring along to New Jersey. While Memes and Billy try to convince themselves that Rodgers’ psychedelic use will counteract the Joe Namath curse at MetLife Stadium, PFT isn't entirely sold on the vibes coming out of Green Bay.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers' heart isn't fully committed to playing for the New York Jets
I have a feeling like the way that this has started feels like his heart's not all the way into playing for the Jets. ... It feels like if Aaron Rodgers really, really wanted to play for the Jets badly, this probably would've been over by now.
Despite the headaches, the talent is undeniable. Big Cat is ready to crown the Jets as soon as the paperwork clears, mostly because he’s lived through the Rodgers experience twice a year for over a decade.
Big CatAaron Rodgers makes the Jets a Super Bowl contender
Aaron Rodgers on the Jets. You guys will be a Super Bowl contender. I really do believe that. I agree. Memes, you getting excited? Super Bowl, Super Bowl contender.
The rest of the league is moving on without the drama. Sam Darnold signed with the 49ers, which PFT believes officially closes the door on any Tom Brady comeback rumors in San Francisco.
PFT CommenterSam Darnold going to the 49ers means Tom Brady is not going there
I think the fact that they signed Sam Darnold means that we can probably take Tom Brady out of the question of if he's going to the 49ers.
Brackets with Stanford Steve
Stanford Steve joined the show for his annual bracket breakdown, bringing a much-needed dose of sanity to the week. He immediately threw cold water on the Duke hype train, citing recency bias and a tough first-round matchup.
Stanford SteveOral Roberts will beat Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament
And this is what I'm talking about with the recency bias. Everybody just sees that and they're like, all right, [Duke is] hot. They, they've won nine in a row. ... I have them losing the Oral Roberts in the first round.
Steve is also out on the ACC as a whole, predicting a short stay for the conference in the big dance. He’s looking elsewhere for value, specifically targeting underdogs like Iona to give the bigger programs trouble early on.
Stanford SteveIona will keep it close and cover the points against UConn
I would lean towards Iona plus the points [against UConn]. I think UConn wins, but it's gonna be tight. And the thing about UConn... this coaching staff hasn't won an NCAA tournament game. There's a lot of pressure on them.
When it comes to his Final Four, Steve is leaning into "mayhem" in the East region. He’s riding with a specific Big Ten program to make a deep run, much to the chagrin of Big Cat who immediately put a bet down against it.
Stanford SteveMichigan State will make the Final Four
I have mayhem in that bracket. I, like I said, I have Michigan State going to the Final Four there.
Big Cat and Steve also found common ground on a potential rock fight in the first round between Arkansas and Illinois, both agreeing that the over/under is way too high for two teams that struggle to find the bottom of the net.
Big CatThe Arkansas vs. Illinois game will be a low-scoring brick fest
Arkansas, Illinois feels like a brick fest to me. ... I just don't, I, I don't think both these teams are great shot making. ... I think that game played in the sixties. [Under 144.5].
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank is on the Hot Seat for admitting he has a sensory aversion to the sound of folding paper, which Big Cat immediately exploited to get justice for Hank's years of yawning on mic. Meanwhile, Max found himself in a heated debate about the legitimacy of combined no-hitters after Puerto Rico's dominant World Baseball Classic performance. To Max, if it isn't one guy throwing all nine innings, it simply doesn't count.
MaxCombined no-hitters are fake and shouldn't count the same as a single-pitcher no-hitter
There are so many no-hitter. Fake ass, no-hitter mouth. No. I think it's actually history is going to look... in college baseball, it's every single day I see something else for a combined no-hitter. Well, because it's so much easier to get a combined no-hitter. That's fake. ... It doesn't feel the same. Zero hits is not the same as no hits.
Snooki and Joey Camasta
In one of the most unexpected crossovers in PMT history, Snooki and Joey Camasta stopped by the studio. Snooki addressed the common misconception that reality TV is scripted, insisting that the early days of Jersey Shore were as raw as it gets.
SnookiThe first six seasons of Jersey Shore were 100% real
It was all fucking real. Yeah, all six seasons. ... When we shot those seasons, we were in a house 24/7 cameras everywhere for a full month. So you got to see everything. You didn't need to make anything up.
She also weighed in on the possibility of ever joining the *Real Housewives* franchise. While the fans might want it, Snooki is perfectly happy staying away from that level of toxicity.
SnookiThe Real Housewives of New Jersey are mean, dirty, and grimy
I personally wouldn't do Housewives because those bitches are dirty. They are mean. They're grimy. It's all about drama. I'm, I don't want that. I just wanna have a good time and go home.
The interview took a turn into the supernatural when Joey revealed that Snooki is an amateur medium. Though she couldn't channel Tommy Lasorda on the spot, she promised to look for him the next time she hits the sauna.
March is finally here. Manage your bankroll, walk your dog during the reset between sessions, and never bet against a must-win game.
