Celtics Derrick White & Payton Pritchard on NBA Life and the Town
The college basketball world is in a collective meltdown over court storming after Duke's Kyle Filipowski had a run-in with the Wake Forest faithful. Big Cat and PFT are firmly on the side of chaos, even if the overhead cameras are now being installed specifically to catch players in the act of shoving back.
PFT CommenterThere should be a 'free fight' rule allowing players to defend themselves against court-storming fans
I think like if there should be a rule that if you're a player and a fan comes at you, you can just go hog wild on 'em. Free the free fight rule that I've had for a very long time. Let the players have a free fight.
While the media landscape is calling for arrests and bans, Big Cat isn't buying the severity of the injury. Between the "bang-bang" nature of the play and the fact that Duke just took a tough loss, the guys think the drama might be slightly overblown for the cameras.
Big CatKyle Filipowski was not seriously injured during the Wake Forest court storming
I just, I think he's probably fine. I think it might've been a phantom roll of an ankle. Like, oh shit, we lost and I just shoved the guy possibly—ow my ankle hurts now my arm.
Speaking of college hoops legends, Rick Pitino brought out the iconic white suit this weekend and immediately secured a win. Big Cat is fully back on the Pitino train, noting that the sport is simply better when he’s stalking the sidelines in a suit that looks like it was bribed out of a local tailor.
Big CatRick Pitino is good for the sport of college basketball
You have to like Rick Pitino, he's good for college basketball. Show, I mean, win. Yes. I respect Rick when he's wearing the white suit. This guy doesn't understand that. We like Rick Pitino.
Max is also dealing with his own brand of college basketball trauma as Villanova continues to bubble-watch. Despite getting boat-raced by UConn, Max remains delusional enough to think the Wildcats are dancing.
MaxVillanova will make the NCAA Tournament
They're gonna be in. They started the day yesterday at first four out. They finished the day at first four out... If you [beat] Georgetown and then win two of the next three we're in.
The Patriots Dynasty Continues (on Hank's List)
Hank is still grinding through his Top 10 Patriots list as he watches the new documentary series. This week, we hit number four, and it’s a name that defines the grit and concussions of the second half of the dynasty.
HankJulian Edelman is the 4th greatest New England Patriot of all time
In the number four spot... Friend of the program. It's Jules, it's Gronk. Great guy. Jules. Gritty receiver, basically. Fought through seven concussions against the Seahawks. Made a miraculous catch against the Falcons. Super Bowl MVP against the Rams. Wow. Julian Edelman.
In Who's Back, Big Cat got misty-eyed watching Patrick Kane return to Chicago. Seeing Showtime score an overtime winner against his old team was a reminder of why he's the greatest to ever do it for the red, white, and blue.
Big CatPatrick Kane is the greatest American hockey player of all time
The [Patrick] Kane moment was incredible. It was like, he's everything. He's the best American hockey player. He is fucking three cups. Like he's just showtime. Big moment after big moment.
On a darker note, the guys mourned the loss of Flaco the Owl, though PFT smells a conspiracy. Between the lack of broken bones and the location of the "accident," there are too many unanswered questions involving high-level political figures.
PFT CommenterFlaco the Owl was likely murdered and didn't just die from a building collision
It says he didn't break any bones, but he sustained massive hemorrhaging inside his body. This seems like somebody else had a hand in it. We need to check the flight logs. Was Flaco on the list? This Owl probably had information that would've led to the arrest and subsequent conviction of Hillary Clinton.
This led naturally into a discussion about the state of the Clinton marriage, which PFT believes is strictly a business arrangement at this point.
PFT CommenterBill and Hillary Clinton have a 0% chance of actually being in love
There's no chance they love each other. Right? It's a work relationship. 0% chance that they're in love with each other.
Finally, the saga of Charlotte the Stingray continues. Big Cat is calling the bluff on the "immaculate conception" shark-stingray hybrid theory, suggesting a much simpler biological explanation.
Big CatThe 'pregnant' stingray Charlotte isn't actually pregnant and is just fat
Charlotte, the pregnant Stingray has still not given birth, which makes me think this might be a publicity stunt... if a shark had relations with a female Stingray who is pregnant even though she hasn't seen a male stingray in eight years... we need a conclusion to this. Otherwise she's just fat.
Celtics in the Studio
Derrick White and Payton Pritchard joined the show to discuss the Celtics' dominant run and what it's like playing for a guy like Joe Mazzulla. Payton Pritchard gave some great insight into why modern NBA scoring is so high, specifically compared to the crowded paint of the college game.
Payton PritchardIt is significantly harder to score in college basketball than in the NBA
I think it's way harder scoring college than it is in the NBA... you have this no three-second in the key [rule in college]. So you got a big that's just sitting there. You also have like two or three people in college you can help off of.
They also discussed the "Town" obsession, the importance of wearing white shoes to look faster, and how Derrick White finally decided to embrace the bald look. We even got a surprise FaceTime from friend of the program Blake Griffin, who is currently enjoying his retirement a little too much for the guys' liking.
Blake GriffinThe Boston Celtics are heavy favorites to win the 2024 NBA championship
I think yeah, they're my favorites... I don't wanna put bad juju on 'em, but Yeah, they're heavy favorites in my mind.
Monday Readings and Gig Tripping
To wrap things up, the guys hit two Monday Readings. One involved a boyfriend who sneaks 3D-printed plastic food onto his girlfriend's plate, and the other covered the "new" trend of Taylor Swift fans traveling for concerts. Big Cat wasn't having any of the travel industry's attempts to rebrand following a band.
Big CatTaylor Swift fans did not invent 'gig tripping'; hippies have been doing it for decades
This is from the article. Gig Tripping Combines travel with music, with people willing to merge vacation plans with a music event... This is literally what hippies have been doing for decades. Decades and decades and decades.
If you see a guy in Chicago peeing near a water fountain this week, it's probably just Jake trying to stay hydrated during a winter golf round.
