Brandon Marshall on AB, Jay Cutler, and the Next Gen of QBs
The NFL landscape changed forever this week with Sean Payton officially stepping away from the Saints. Big Cat is already looking at the television horizon for the legendary coach, envisioning a future where he trades the visor for a headset in a much different capacity.
Big CatSean Payton will join Amazon for their NFL coverage
I'm like 90% sure I can predict what's going to happen in the next two years for Sean Payton, Amazon. Amazon... They might put them in a booth with Drew Brees.
While New Orleans loses a legend, PFT is looking at the ripple effects in Big D. With Payton on the market, Mike McCarthy might want to start updating his LinkedIn, because the shadow of a Super Bowl-winning coach in New Orleans is going to loom large over Jerry World all season.
PFT CommenterMike McCarthy will be fired as Cowboys head coach exactly one year from today
Mike McCarthy is the lamest of ducks right now because he knows that Sean, this is Sean Payton's job. I'm first reporting it right now. Mike McCarthy has been fired as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys exactly a year from today, minus two weeks.
Hall of Fame Frustrations
The MLB Hall of Fame results dropped and, once again, the writers decided to be the protagonists of baseball history. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are officially off the ballot, which led to a heated discussion about the gatekeepers of Cooperstown. PFT didn't mince words about the legacy of the greatest hitter to ever live.
PFT CommenterBarry Bonds is the best baseball player of all time and should be the first person re-inducted into the Hall of Fame
Barry Bonds is a Hall of Famer. He's the best baseball player of all time. You could say that Barry Bonds should be the first—if you were to get rid of everybody in the Hall of Fame, Barry Bonds should be the first person re-inducted.
Big Cat and PFT pointed out the blatant hypocrisy of writers like Tom Verducci, who built their careers on the back of the very era they now pretend never happened. The guys argued that you simply cannot tell the story of baseball without the most dominant players of the nineties.
PFT CommenterThe steroid era saved Major League Baseball and the jobs of the writers who now refuse to honor it
The steroid era literally saved Tom Verducci's job. In the mid-nineties baseball was dead after the players strike... And they brought in replacement players and baseball was dead. And what happens over the course of the next three years? Oh yeah, Mark McGwire starts hitting the moon... Sammy Sosa and McGwire summer saved baseball.
Brandon Marshall in Studio
Six-time Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall stopped by the studio for an incredible, wide-ranging conversation that touched on everything from his relationship with Jay Cutler to the current state of the league. Having just interviewed Antonio Brown on his own show, Marshall gave a blunt assessment of AB's future in the NFL.
Brandon MarshallAntonio Brown has only a 10% chance of ever playing in the NFL again
I would say a 10% chance. I love Antonio because we shared a locker room... but at the end of the day, he put himself in this situation. Look at the market for him last off-season.
Marshall also weighed in on the current crop of young signal-callers after the weekend's insane Bills-Chiefs game. While everyone is debating the tier list, he thinks the guy at the top is undeniable.
Brandon MarshallPatrick Mahomes is the clear #1 young quarterback with no debate
If I had to rank these guys, Patrick Mahomes, number one, easy, easy. It's not even a debate. Patrick Mahomes... you gotta go win the Super Bowl and you gotta go do what he's done consistently year after year.
One of the most interesting parts of the interview was Marshall comparing the swagger of today's stars to his former teammates. He sees a lot of his old friend Jay Cutler in the way Joe Burrow carries himself, though maybe with a bit more of a killer instinct.
Brandon MarshallJoe Burrow is the savage version of what Jay Cutler was supposed to be
I was watching Joe Burrow's interview yesterday... just his personality and also like his confidence slash cockiness. And I was like, that's what Jay [Cutler] was supposed to be. Joe Burrow really, he's a savage.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and FAQ's
During Hot Seat/Cool Throne, Hank brought some bad news for Patriots fans everywhere. After listening to the latest from Tom vs. Time, Hank is convinced that the GOAT is finally ready to hang up the cleats and prioritize his family over the gridiron.
HankTom Brady is going to retire after this season
Tom Brady, Tom vs. Time... for my personal takeaway, it seems like he's gone. She [Gisele] deserves what she needs from me as a husband and my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad... from right now where I stand, I feel like he's gonna walk.
To wrap things up, the guys took a listener question about building a youth basketball dynasty. While most would suggest fundamentals or conditioning, Big Cat has a secret weapon that would make Kareem Abdul-Jabbar proud.
Big CatThe best way to build a youth basketball dynasty is to teach every player how to shoot skyhooks
This is actually serious. If you really want to be a dynasty and don't like be a Dick about it and run them too hard, teach them all how, how to shoot skyhooks. You can't guard it. You would not be able to guard it. Skyhooks for everyone.
Just remember, if a kid can reach the ball, Hank expects them to bring it down every single time.
