Chad Kelly on the CFL, NFL Dreams, and the Infamous Halloween Party
Day 1 of the Masters is in the books and Brooks Koepka is looking like the guy who used to eat majors for breakfast. PFT is fully convinced that the healthy, nuclear version of Brooks has returned to put the golf world on notice.
PFT CommenterBrooks Koepka is officially back to his old major championship form
Brooks Koepka is back to his old form, silencing the haters of which there are many. He's just, he's healthy now... the fact that he went out there and he proved that he can do it to himself and he's now leading a major championship after 18 holes. That is like the big psychological hurdle he is gonna get over.
While Brooks was torching the course, Big Cat was busy torching the dorks on the internet who spent their Thursday afternoon trying to snitch on players for technical rules violations. Between the Brooks caddy controversy and the Morikawa ball-moving drama, the social media investigators were out in full force, and it was a tough look for everyone involved.
Big CatGolf fans who snitch on potential rules violations online are clout chasers who need to shut up
We as a society need to remind people that snitches get stitches because holy shit, we had two alleged cheating events. [The people] screen grabbing, getting videos like cheater, cheater, cheater... we as a society need to just tell these people to shut the fuck up. The people who are clipping stuff and putting it online, they're clout chasing and I don't like it.
Our guy Max Homa had a gritty performance to finish under par, but the guys weren't happy with how he was treated by the broadcast. PFT went off on the 'walk-and-talk' segments, specifically how Max was forced to talk through a read on a putt that he ultimately missed. Big Cat think it's time for Max to stop being the nice guy of the PGA Tour and start leaning into a bit of a villain arc to keep the media at bay.
PFT CommenterLive 'walk-and-talk' interviews during the Masters are terrible and ruined Max Homa's round
Fuck the walk and talk interview that they made [Max Homa] do... it fucked Max Homa on the 14th hole. They make him... hand [him] a cellphone... in the middle of [his] putt. Max was walking him through the read on the putt before he hit it. No wonder he misread it because he's trying to do a fucking broadcast as he's playing in the Masters. This isn't the fucking Fortnite Open here, this is Augusta. You should not be doing a walk and talk.
Big CatMax Homa needs to start being mean to people so the media stops asking him for favors
This is part of [Max Homa] being a slut. He can't say no... we gotta harden him. He needs to know Max with his fist, not a ball with his fist. He needs to start hitting people... start hitting maybe a cameraman. I don't know. Just start hitting people out of anger. Be a guy that no one wants to go up and ask to do something... He needs to find his little mini-Ellen DeGeneres streak where he starts being mean to people.
The MVP Race and the Mac Jones Drama
NBA seeding is getting crystallized, and the Joel Embiid MVP campaign essentially ended this week after his 52-point masterpiece against the Celtics. Big Cat notes that despite the season-long debate, voters usually just remember the last big thing they saw.
Big CatMVP voters are like goldfish and Joel Embiid's 52-point game against the Celtics clinched the award
MVP voters are like goldfish. It's just the last thing they saw. So [Joel Embiid] had the 52 point game against the Celtics on Tuesday night... I feel like that performance in a game against the Celtics was like, alright, officially Embiid's the MVP.
Over in the NFL world, the Mac Jones and Bill Belichick rumors are swirling, but Hank called in from vacation to deliver a formal statement defending his quarterback. While the guys debated whether Mac would flourish in a system like Kyle Shanahan’s, Billy Football took the opportunity to drop a truly insane take regarding the best quarterback on the planet.
HankThe Mac Jones and Bill Belichick feud is a media-driven narrative that won't result in a trade
Mac Jones is my quarterback. And this is a media driven narrative to try and create division within the most successful NFL franchise of the past 25 years... They also aren't going to trade him. The only person who reported that was Mike Florio, who's one of the greatest fiction of the 21st century.
Billy FootballPatrick Mahomes would not perform well in Kyle Shanahan's highly structured offense
I don't actually think Mahomes would do that well in [Shanahan's offense]... I think it's too structured for Mahomes' play style. [The Chiefs] let him cook more often than not.
While Billy was skeptical of Mahomes, Big Cat found the one player who definitely wouldn't fit the Shanahan mold.
Big CatRussell Wilson would be terrible in Kyle Shanahan's offense because he's too short to throw over the middle
You know who wouldn't work in Kyle Shanahan's offense? Russ Wilson. Because he can't throw over the middle. He's too short. I think actually that would be the answer.
Swag Kelly in Studio
Chad Kelly joined the show for an incredible in-studio interview that covered everything from winning a Grey Cup to the infamous Halloween party in Denver. Chad opened up about the mental grind of the CFL and why he feels he belongs back in the NFL right now. He wasn't shy about his talent, either, claiming he can read the field better than a significant chunk of current NFL starters.
Chad KellyI can read defensive progressions at a higher level than half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL
How many NFL teams do you think you could start for now... I believe I can read that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed [better than half the league]... It's the ability to read down the field progressions... I can honestly say that I believe I can read that at that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed.
We also got the story of the Reese Davis rap segment, his relationship with his uncle Jim Kelly, and his thoughts on the current Lamar Jackson contract saga. Chad offered a unique perspective from a quarterback's point of view on why teams might be hesitant to pull the trigger on a massive guaranteed deal.
Chad KellyLamar Jackson isn't worth $200 million guaranteed because offensive coordinators prefer passers
If we were to pull up [Lamar Jackson's] best game, you would probably be like, all right, do you really pay him 200 million? Guaranteed... a lot of offensive coordinators they want to throw the ball.
Fyre Fest of the Week
We wrapped things up with Fyre Fest of the Week. PFT is dealing with a bombed-out apartment lobby that has turned his daily commute into a war zone, and Max is getting hounded by fans about the release of the golf video. However, Big Cat had the most relatable struggle of the week as the temperature starts to climb.
Big CatI officially hate t-shirt weather because I am not physically ready for it
My fire fest is, it happens every year... it's t-shirt weather again. And I'm not ready. I'm wearing spanks again. I'm back on the spanks. So this is a temporary, like a bandaid over a gaping, gaping wound... I gotta figure out how to lose like 40 pounds.
Hopefully, the Master's naps provide enough recovery time to get everyone through the weekend.
