Anthony Rizzo and AJ Bouye on Elite 8 Recaps and World Series Predictions
Duke has finally been eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, and the world is a better place for it. While Kansas and Villanova booked their tickets to San Antonio, Big Cat and Hank are left picking up the pieces of their broken brackets and even more broken hearts. PFT is already looking toward the next stage of Grayson Allen’s career as the world's most lovable villain.
PFT CommenterCollege basketball is better when Grayson Allen is playing the villain role
College basketball is better when you've got Grayson Allen shoving his ass into people and spitting on old ladies on the side of the court.
While the Blue Devils are heading home, Loyola Chicago remains the story of the century. Sister Jean has the magic touch, and the guys are legitimately wondering if a 98-year-old nun is the missing piece to a national title run. Big Cat is fully bought into the Ramblers' offense being more than just a Cinderella story.
Big CatI wouldn't be shocked if Loyola Chicago won the whole NCAA tournament
I wouldn't be shocked if they actually won the whole thing because they are playing unbelievable offense. And I mean, like the Butler team, you know, ...
On the other side of the bracket, Michigan is looking like a juggernaut. Between John Beilein’s tactical genius and the bizarre ending to the Florida State game where Leonard Hamilton seemingly forgot how to foul, the Wolverines are rolling. Big Cat has a very specific theory on why Leonard Hamilton decided to let the clock bleed out rather than extend the game.
Big CatLeonard Hamilton didn't foul at the end of the Florida State game to help boosters cover the spread
I still maintain, and I've long time maintained this, that the coaches coach for spreads for boosters... what are the chances if you foul him, are you not going to cover the four and a half? Very high. Right. So you've got to make a business decision, a little Cam Newton business decision, say, no foul.
Anthony Rizzo and the 2018 Cubs
Friend of the program Anthony Rizzo joined the show to discuss the upcoming MLB season and why he refuses to ever text Big Cat back. Despite the blue dots of death on Big Cat's phone, Rizzo was in high spirits about the Cubs' core and the addition of Yu Darvish. He also addressed the constant rumors about Bryce Harper potentially heading to the North Side after the season.
Anthony RizzoCubs fans have issues if they think Bryce Harper is the solution to turning the franchise around
If Cubs Nation is banking on Bryce Harper to turn our franchise around, they have a lot of issues.
Looking ahead to October, Rizzo isn't shying away from expectations. He’s already calling his shot for a 2016 rematch against the defending champs from Houston.
Anthony RizzoThe 2018 World Series will be the Cubs against the Astros
I 100% believe that there will be two teams in the world series this year... i think it goes through Houston again right they they're the defending champ okay so cubs houston i like cubs houston
AJ Bouye and Saxonville
Jaguars cornerback AJ Bouye stopped by to talk about the turnaround in Jacksonville and the legend of Coughlin Time. Apparently, if you’re only ten minutes early to a meeting, you’re already late enough to get a five-figure fine. Bouye also went deep on what makes a secondary elite and why the Jaguars' defense is more than just a pass rush.
AJ BouyeThe Jaguars defense is elite because of the secondary, not the defensive line
I'm going to say DBs just because of who we got back there. Defensive Baxonville. That's what it should be, not Saxonville. Pick six in Ville.
He also stood up for his quarterback, Blake Bortles, though he did admit to giving the Boat a book to read during the playoff run. More importantly, Bouye remains a firm believer in the UCF national championship claim, citing the transitive property of beating the team that beat the champions.
AJ BouyeUCF is the true 2017 national champion because they beat the team that beat the champions
We blew out a team [Auburn] that beat the national champions [Alabama], quote-unquote. You know how I go. You don't lose a game. You just keep going until you lose.
Who's Back and Soggy Sorrows
This week's Who's Back featured a heated debate over the validity of Shark Week and whether it has officially jumped the Megalodon. Big Cat is tired of the CGI and the Mike Phelps races that don't involve actual blood in the water.
Big CatShark Week sucks until they show a shark eating a human being
Until they show me a shark eating a human being, I will not watch Shark Week... I still think I saw through the fraud of Shark Week... they told me they found Megalodon and they got me all wet and didn't fuck me.
To wrap things up, the show saw the return of a legendary segment: Soggy Sorrows. Big Cat and Hank, both having guaranteed a Duke championship, sat in the shower to reflect on their failures. Hank is blaming the officiating, while Big Cat is just mourning his lost reputation as a college basketball savant.
Big CatDuke was guaranteed to win the title this year
I spent the last month, two months, three months saying that Duke was definitely going to win the title this year... guaranteed, locked up, no matter what happens, Duke is winning the title.
At least we still have the Washington Capitals to look forward to, provided they don't break our hearts like every other year.
