Jeff Fisher on Draft War Rooms, NFL Draft Reactions, and GoT Theories
The NFL Draft has finally arrived, and the world is a different place now that Dan Snyder is apparently a tactical genius. Big Cat and PFT started the show by addressing the pure chaos of the first round, starting with Kyler Murray going first overall to the Cardinals. While the pick was expected, his choice of favorite movie raised some serious eyebrows in the studio.
PFT CommenterKyler Murray liking The Great Gatsby is the biggest red flag possible
Kyler Murray says that his favorite movie of all time is Great Gatsby. That is the biggest red flag we've ever seen. Also, I'm pretty sure Kyler Murray is the kind of guy that likes the Great Gatsby because he thinks Gatsby's cool as hell right? And he like throws these sick parties... He does the leo dance 15 years after it was cool. There was nothing cool about that book or that movie.
With Murray in the building, the clock is officially ticking on Josh Rosen. Big Cat thinks the Cardinals are playing a dangerous game of chicken with his trade value, and they might need to wait for a desperate team to come calling later this summer.
Big CatNFL teams should wait until a training camp injury occurs before trading Josh Rosen
They've got to wait until someone gets injured. A Teddy Bridgewater injury—we don't root for injuries, but that would be one to trade him. It's still going to be very awkward to have Josh Rosen and Kyler Murray in the same QB room if he somehow stays on the team for the next three months.
The Gettleman Masterclass and Raiders Chaos
The biggest shock of the night came from the New York Giants, who decided to draft Daniel Jones at number six. It was a pick that launched a thousand fan reaction videos and left Big Cat convinced that Dave Gettleman is playing 4D chess just to keep Eli Manning’s career alive for another decade.
Big CatThe Giants drafted Daniel Jones to stop fans from asking when they'll draft Eli's successor, even though he'll suck
It was actually, when you think about it, a genius move by Dave Gettleman because what he did here was he drafted a guy who everyone, all the Giants fans, he'd be like, look, we drafted a guy top 10. We have our quarterback of the future. He's just going to suck. And we can keep Eli going, and people can stop saying, when are you going to get your quarterback in the future?
PFT has a different theory. He’s convinced that "Daniel Jones" is simply an alias for a secret Manning child that Archie has been hiding at Duke under the tutelage of David Cutcliffe.
PFT CommenterDaniel Jones is actually an unacknowledged member of the Manning family
I think there was some hanky-panky that went on, and Archie's got another kid running around by the name of Daniel Jones... Daniel Jones is the most fucking alias name I've ever heard. Absolutely. He is a Manning. He's Manning through and through.
Meanwhile, the Raiders continued to be the Raiders. Jon Gruden took Clelin Ferrell at four, a move that felt like a massive reach to everyone except the guys inside the building who apparently didn't even have a mock draft to look at.
Big CatThe Raiders' reach for Clelin Ferrell is a result of John Gruden not having any scouts in the room
John Gruden's his own man. And remember, they don't have any scouts in the room, so they probably didn't even have a mock draft in front of them.
Coach Jeff Fisher on War Room Secrets
Our good friend Coach Jeff Fisher joined the show to give us the actual perspective of what it’s like to be inside those rooms when the clock is ticking. He shared stories about the tension of calling a team's bluff on a trade and how he once tricked the Giants into giving up a pick for Jeremy Shockey when the Titans didn't even want him. Coach also broke down his newfound love for Twitter and why you can't actually judge a draft class until the dust has settled for a few years.
Jeff FisherNFL draft picks cannot be accurately graded until three or four years after they happen
I always like the draft grades that are going to come out on Monday. Teams are going to get A's and B's and C's and D's... but they don't circle back three or four years after. Because that's when you really grade the draft.
NBA Playoffs and Fyre Fests
Transitioning to the hardwood, the guys touched on Damian Lillard ending the Westbrook era in OKC and the creeping sense of dread surrounding the Warriors. With Draymond Green and Steve Kerr already showing cracks in the foundation, it feels like we are witnessing the final days of a dynasty.
Big CatThe end of the Warriors dynasty is officially here
This is the end of the Warriors. Like this is their last run. They either win the title this year and go off as three in a row, all that shit, or they lose and everyone goes their other way and hates each other.
On a more personal note, Big Cat used his Fyre Fest of the week to air his grievances with the month of April. Between the fluctuating temperatures and the sudden realization that it's too warm for a "husky guy" to wear a sweatshirt, he's officially over it.
Big CatApril has the worst weather of any month because of its inconsistency
April has the worst weather of any month... Because you can't fucking plan for it. It's cold. It's still the winter. Then it's hot. Then it's cold again. Then it rains... I would rather at least know January's going to suck no matter what.
Game of Thrones and Harvard Studies
To wrap up the show, the guys looked at a "groundbreaking" study from Harvard that confirms what every person with eyes already knew.
Big CatQuarterbacks being the most important piece of a franchise is the most obvious 'Harvard' study ever
Harvard. 38 years of data suggests the quarterback is the most important piece of an NFL franchise. OK, I'll just watch football for 38 years and come up with the conclusion that quarterbacks are important. Way to go, Harvard.
Finally, the show devolved into Game of Thrones talk ahead of the massive Battle of Winterfell. Hank is worried about the Night King pulling a tactical masterstroke, while Big Cat is mostly just hoping for the demise of the most boring character in the Seven Kingdoms.
Big CatBran Stark is an annoying character who ruins every scene he is in
Bran, I hope that fuck gets skull fucked in the middle of the field because he's so awkward. It's the guy in the wheelchair. I know Lieutenant Bran. He's so annoying. He ruins every scene.
PFT, ever the optimist, thinks the show might actually have a happy ending if everyone just gives up on being human and joins the army of the dead.
PFT CommenterThe Game of Thrones series finale will end with everyone turning into happy zombies
Everything else is fine. All right. That's the M. Night Shyamalan twist... Everybody just turns into a zombie and they're happy forever. They can't go in water, so you at least have that.
At least in the afterlife, there are no bachelorette parties in Nashville to ruin your weekend.
