Cousin Sal, Ozzie Guillen, LeBron’s Courtside Karen, and Billy’s Fight Song
We are officially in the heart of Super Bowl week, which means the guys are overanalyzing every single piece of information coming out of Tampa. Big Cat is currently battling a mental tug-of-war after reading that Tom Brady has been living alone in his house for 12 days to focus entirely on film study. While the idea of a completely isolated Brady is terrifying for Chiefs bettors, PFT thinks the lack of family chaos might actually be a negative for TB12.
Big CatI am starting to lean toward betting on the Bucs in Super Bowl LV because Tom Brady is alone and focused
The tweet that I saw, Tom Brady has had the house to himself with his family out of town. It'll be 12 days of preparation alone. He said he's never had that much time to prepare his mind and body before... That got in my head, and I was like, wait, what? He has how much time? He's never had this much time? Uh-oh. I'm starting to like the Bucs.
PFT CommenterTom Brady's family being out of the house is actually bad because it takes him out of his rhythm
I don't like that. It takes him out of his rhythm. Aaron Rodgers hasn't had his family in his house for years, and look where that got him last week.
Big Cat is already envisioning a scenario where this extra preparation leads to a play that leaves the media in a frenzy. He expects Brady to dig deep into the archives to find one specific weakness that decides the game late.
Big CatTom Brady will uncover a game-winning play in the fourth quarter because of his extra film study
That means that he's going to uncover something that he never saw and it's going to come out in like the fourth quarter and then Peter King's going to fucking masturbate onto a piece of paper being like Tom Brady found this in our, you know, 746 of sitting in his Tampa Derek Jeter's house by himself.
LeBron vs. Courtside Karen and EA Sports Joy
The NBA gave us a legendary moment this week with LeBron James getting into it with a fan in Atlanta, quickly dubbed "Courtside Karen." After doing a deep dive into the Instagram of "Carlo Daddy" and his wife, Big Cat and PFT tried to categorize the energy of the confrontation. PFT had a specific technicality regarding the nomenclature of the heckler.
PFT CommenterThe 'Courtside Karen' who heckled LeBron James is actually a textbook 'Becky'
I'd also like to throw a flag on Courtside Karen. I think she's more of a Becky than a Karen... If you tack an extra 20 years on her and give her bangs, then she's a Karen. Right now, this is textbook Becky.
On the Hot Seat/Cool Throne front, the Internet actually agreed on something for once: the return of EA Sports College Football. Big Cat called it a monumental day for everyone who spent their college years (and post-college years) building dynasties with random MAC schools.
Big CatThe return of the EA Sports College Football game is a monumental and universally loved day
The best day I haven't seen the Internet universally love something more than this game returning. It is so fucking great. It is going to take like two or three years, which who cares? ... This was a monumental day. This is a great day.
Cousin Sal on Gambling Beats and Prop Bets
Friend of the program Cousin Sal joined the show to talk about his new book, *You Can't Lose Them All*. He shared some truly soul-crushing gambling stories, including an Oklahoma State money line loss that defied the laws of physics. When it comes to Sunday, Sal has his eyes on a specific Chiefs superstar to get the scoring started.
Cousin SalKelsey first touchdown in the Super Bowl is a great bet at 7-1 odds
Super Bowl prop, Kelce, first touchdown. That guy's ridiculous. I mean, you go over seven and a half receptions. He has eight with six minutes left in the second quarter. So he's getting shovel passes, bowling ball passes from the two-yard line. I like that at 7-1 or 7-5.
He also gave some veteran advice on the Gatorade bath, noting that coaches might be getting a bit soft in their old age.
Cousin SalBet on clear Gatorade for the Super Bowl shower
I go clear. People are showing mercy on their coaches lately, and they're pouring water instead of the sticky stuff. If you can find clear, go for it.
Ozzie Guillen’s Blueprint for Beating Canseco
With Billy Football set to fight Jose Canseco on Friday night at Rough N' Rowdy, the guys brought in former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen for some expert advice. Ozzie didn't hold back on his former teammate, claiming that while Jose is physically imposing, he’s not a natural-born brawler. He thinks Billy’s path to victory involves making the big man move.
Ozzie GuillenBilly Football can beat Jose Canseco by moving around and avoiding toe-to-toe fighting
I know how you can beat them. You have to move around. You cannot fight with him. Toe to toes because you might get killed. But you move around, you're going to have a better chance... He's just a handmaker, you know. I don't think he knows how to fight, but he don't know how to survive.
Ozzie GuillenJose Canseco is not a real fighter; I have seen him hide in the dugout during brawls
Jose is not a fighter. I see personally drill him. Drill him. And half of the team was in the middle of the field when we turned around. Jose is still in the dugout. Jose is not a fighter. Jose just wanted you to show him respect and love when he was playing.
Ozzie also touched on the state of the modern game, lamenting the loss of old-school clubhouse leadership in favor of social media branding. He’s happy to see Tony La Russa back in the dugout for the South Side, believing he’ll bring back the accountability that today's stars often avoid.
Ozzie GuillenModern MLB is missing real leadership because players are too worried about social media and their wives
Nowadays, I look at it, do not see leaders... My leader, they will kick your fucking ass... nowadays, wife waiting for the husband, now the kids got to go to school we got to hurry up and they don't have a chance opportunity to talk about the game... they don't watch a game on TV... They're just like, okay, how did that guy get you out? Then nobody talk about it like they were used to.
To wrap up the show, we got the world premiere of Billy’s official fight song written by PFT and performed in the style of Imagine Dragons. Between the sea shanty and the EDM-potential anthem, Billy has all the musical motivation he needs to survive Friday night.
Godspeed, Billy, try not to get your lunch eaten by a 56-year-old on steroids.
