Recap
HankCoach K yelling at Duke fans is a great example of leadership and loyalty
I think it was a recruiting thing, and I think if you're a prospective player and you see that, you see a coach that fights for his guys, even if they're on the other team, that is a great leader. It was because of loyalty. It's a brotherhood for life, and that's a great example of showing that.
Big CatThe 49ers have been the best team in the NFL all year wire-to-wire
I just think that the 49ers have that. They've been the best team all year. I think we forget that they have pretty much wire to wire been the best team all year... the 49ers have been close to a juggernaut. They have played really, really well all season long.
PFT CommenterJennifer Lopez will start the halftime show with 'Jenny from the Block'
Jennifer from the Block. Put it in the bank. I think she's headlining.
Picks
PFT CommenterThe Chiefs will win Super Bowl 54 and Tyrann Mathieu will have a turnover
I'm also taking the Chiefs. I have a lot of conviction in that bet... The Honey Badger is making the difference in this game. He's going to have at least one turnover. He has been the key to the Chiefs defense stepping up.
PFT CommenterDeebo Samuel will score the first touchdown of Super Bowl 54
I'm also going to make a bold prediction. I think that the Niners are going to hit them with a play-action bomb on the first drive... It's going to Debo [Samuel]. He's going to Debo for six. First score Debo Samuel for six points.
HankThe Chiefs will win and the game will go under the point total
My official prediction is basically a repeat of last year. The old-timer is going to beat the new guy. Under and the Chiefs.
Interview
Big CatJameis Winston is a future Hall of Famer
Can we call you [David Baker] up and be like, hey, David Baker, can we say this guy's a future Hall of Famer? Are you allowed to do that? Jameis Winston. Jameis Winston could be. We'll take a 'not no' for Jameis Winston.
Fyre Fest
PFT CommenterTom Brady will sign with the Tennessee Titans in free agency
PFT's fire fest is he has to be the one to break news to you that Tom Brady's going to the Titans. Giselle was allegedly touring a school, an all-boys high school in Nashville, Tennessee. Connecting the dots.
Faq
Big CatI will get Kevin Durant on the podcast before my 36th birthday
I will say if we don't get Kevin Durant on this podcast in our age of 35, cancel my birthday next year. I'll just stay 35 forever.
