Buzz Williams and Trent Brown on NIT Runs, Patriots, and Tiger's Return

Tiger Woods is officially back, or at least his plane is back in the vicinity of Augusta National, which is basically the same thing. Big Cat and PFT are monitoring flight trackers like their lives depend on it, fueled by rumors that the Big Cat of golf is striking the ball better now than he was during his 2019 comeback victory.

There is a 95% chance Tiger Woods plays in the 2022 Masters

I talked to my sources in the golf world, aka Frankie Borelli. And he said that there's a 95% chance [Tiger Woods] is going to be playing in the masters.

Tiger Woods officially committed to and played in the 2022 Masters, making the cut and finishing 47th.

The conversation shifted to the Masters field, specifically friend of the program Max Homa. PFT managed to deliver a backhanded compliment that only a true friend could provide, questioning where Max would rank among the all-time greats to ever wear the Green Jacket.

Max Homa would be the worst golfer of all time to win the Masters if he pulls it off

Max [Homa] would be the worst golfer of all time to win the masters... I'm saying this from a place of love, max would max home of the be worst golfer of all time to win the masters.

This is subjective, though Homa has since won several PGA events, making him significantly better than one-hit-wonder winners of the past.

Overtime Rules and The Slap

NFL owners finally caved to the public outcry and changed the playoff overtime rules to ensure both teams get a possession. While the Josh Allen rule is now in effect, Big Cat remains skeptical that this will actually stop the constant stream of complaints from fans who refuse to acknowledge that defense is part of the game.

NFL fans will eventually find a new reason to complain about the overtime rules

I'm just pointing out the fact that we'll just find a new complaint. Cause if it keeps going, there will be a new complaint and it will be exactly like the new complaint we'll have the answer that the old complaint had is just play defense.

Fans and media indeed continue to debate overtime fairness even after the rule change.

Hot Seat/Cool Throne featured a deep dive into the "investigative research" surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers' Twitter account. It appears the social media team has a very specific set of instructions when the Lakers take an L, ensuring the King's brand remains untarnished by the final score graphic.

LeBron James has it in his contract that he cannot be shown in Lakers loss photos on Twitter

Every single time the Lakers lose a game and they post the final score on Twitter, they never include a picture of LeBron... I absolutely think this is in his contract. He definitely put this in his contract. So you cannot include me in any lost pictures.

There is no public evidence this is a contractual clause; it is likely a choice by social media managers or a coincidence highlighted by fans.

Naturally, Billy Football couldn't let the show go by without offering a conspiracy theory regarding the Will Smith and Chris Rock Oscars incident. Billy is convinced the whole thing was a work, citing specific "training" videos he found in the corners of the internet.

The Will Smith slap of Chris Rock was fake because Will Smith taught a kid how to fake slap a month prior

There's a video out of Will Smith a month ago, teaching a kid how to fake slap. I don't know if you guys see this on TMZ... I'm just saying, you know, it looks like a guy who's been practicing slapping.

Will Smith was banned from the Academy for 10 years and both parties confirmed the incident was real; there is no evidence it was staged.

Buzz Williams in Studio

Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams joined the show ahead of the NIT semifinals to talk about his team’s late-season surge. Buzz is a noted eccentric, famously writing hundreds of handwritten notes a month and reading a book a week. He clarified his "red pill" speech from the SEC tournament, explaining that in his world, it's just about the hard truth of film sessions rather than the internet's obsession with the term.

I refuse to recruit players whose primary dream is just to make the NBA because it is too limited

I do not want to recruit you if when I ask, 'What is your biggest dream?' if you tell me your biggest dream is to make the NBA, I do not want you to come play for us. That is so limited. That is so shallow... if that's what you're telling me your dream is, I don't want you to come play with us because we go about this every day like this is your dream.

This is a subjective coaching philosophy and cannot be objectively proven true or false.

As the Final Four approaches, Buzz offered his expert analysis on who actually has the goods to cut down the nets in New Orleans. While the world is focused on the Coach K retirement tour, Buzz is looking at the defensive metrics.

Kansas is going to win the national championship because of their superior defensive talent

The way Kansas played in the second half yesterday, their talent is worthy of being in the Final Four. Their coach is a Hall of Famer, but what they were doing defensively just absolutely negated an incredible run by Miami. So I would probably be against the grain, but I think... Kansas is going to be right there.

Kansas went on to win the 2022 National Championship, defeating Villanova and North Carolina.

Trent Brown on the Patriots and a Near-Death Experience

New England Patriots offensive lineman Trent Brown stopped by to discuss his new contract and his status as one of the largest humans to ever walk into the office. Standing at 6'9" and roughly 370 pounds, Trent is a mountain of a man who takes immense pride in his path as a seventh-round pick.

I am the greatest 7th round draft pick underdog in NFL history

I'm a seven round draft pick. That's why I call myself the greatest underdog seven round draft pick here I am in going into year eight. And I kind of proved myself to be one of the best offensive tackles in the game.

While Brown is a very successful 7th round pick, players like Shannon Sharpe (Hall of Famer) and Donald Driver are statistically more decorated, making 'greatest' a subjective debate.

He also got incredibly real about a terrifying incident during his time with the Raiders. While the media initially blamed his absence on COVID-19, Trent revealed that a pre-game IV mishap nearly cost him his life on the locker room floor.

The Raiders medical staff almost killed me by accidentally putting air into my veins via IV

That shit just got air. I got air in my veins... they almost killed me. You know what I mean? They basically weren't paying attention... I was laid out on the floor. Like basically I was just sitting there, they pull out the syringe or whatever. And then I pass out. I didn't, I couldn't feel my limbs. I'm shaking. I'm sweating. Jesus. Like, you know what I mean? So that shit was scary.

This incident was widely reported in 2020; Brown was hospitalized before a game against the Browns due to an IV complication involving an air embolism.

We closed things out with Guys on Chicks, including a question from a mother worried about her child's future fandom. With one parent rooting for the Lions and the other for the Browns, PFT argued that a childhood of suffering is actually the best way to build a resilient human being.

Raising children as fans of losing teams like the Lions or Browns is good for their character development

I think that a healthy amount of adversity—losing, growing up—actually has a good impact on the kid for learning how to deal with all that. Whereas if they... just made them say like a Patriots fan who also rooted for Duke, then they'd turn out to be a real piece of shit.

This is a subjective opinion on parenting and sports fandom.

If your kid grows up a Lions fan, at least you know they’ll never be a frontrunner.

The Chicago Bulls are in a free fall and are currently a terrible basketball team

I look at the standings every day. The Bulls are in free fall. They're terrible right now. I just do not want to play the Celtics, the Sixers or the Bucks, because I don't want to have to deal with the fans of those teams.

The Bulls finished the season 7-15 after the All-Star break and were quickly eliminated in five games by the Bucks in the first round.

Villanova cannot win the national championship because their bench is too thin following Justin Moore's injury

I don't know how you can go from a, 'we don't have any bench' to, 'we just lost a starter' and be like we're okay. I have a future on [Villanova] that I'm just going—it was lit on fire once Justin Moore went down. So let it ride.

Villanova lost in the Final Four to Kansas, struggling to match Kansas's depth and scoring without Moore.

Will Smith and Chris Rock will eventually do a Pepsi commercial together to cash in on the slap controversy

My prediction is that there will be a Pepsi commercial this summer. Kendall Jenner gives them both a Pepsi and they crack it open. And yeah, everything's copacetic.

This did not happen; the two have remained distanced since the event.

It would be 'fucking hilarious' if the US Men's National Soccer Team loses by 6 goals and misses the World Cup

If the U.S. team loses by six goals tonight then they don't automatically qualify... I as a giant U.S. men's national team soccer fan, I can admit that if they lose by six goals tonight and don't qualify, that is fucking hilarious. I hope either they win or they lose by six or more goals tonight.

The US lost 2-0 to Costa Rica, which was sufficient to qualify on goal differential. They did not lose by 6.

College athletics will see more structural changes in the next five years than in any previous ten-year span

Over the next five years, there will be more changes in college athletics than any previous ten-year period. And it's because of the ability to not be able to adjust.

The subsequent years saw massive conference realignment, the expansion of the CFP, and legal rulings effectively ending the NCAA's amateurism model.
