Dan Patrick on Peacock, Playoff Pee-Pee, and the Dead Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers are dead, defunct, and officially a clown show. After an embarrassing Game 7 collapse against the Nuggets, the guys didn't hold back on the "Playoff P" era. Big Cat and PFT were stunned by how a team with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George could simply quit in the fourth quarter. It was a pathetic display that left Big Cat feeling physically ill and ready to blow up the roster.

The Clippers cannot bring Paul George back next season after that performance.

I actually don't know how you bring playoff P back next year. I like that. Like I don't I don't know how you have what you'e just watched. Yeah and be like, let's bring back the same core and hope that it's kind of the James Harden thing.

The Clippers did bring Paul George back, and they reached the Western Conference Finals the following season (2021).

PFT was even more dismissive of the Clippers' secondary star. While the world expected a Battle of LA in the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets simply outworked a team that lacked any semblance of chemistry or heart.

Paul George is a third piece at best on a championship team

I'm doing playoff P your you're not a second dude, you're you're a third piece. I you're a third piece at best.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's hierarchy. Paul George remained a high-level starter but the 'third piece' label is a common critique of his playoff reliability.

Speaking of the Western Conference Finals, Big Cat is already looking ahead to the Lakers' matchup with the Nuggets. While he respects what Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic have done, he doesn't see the magic lasting against LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The Lakers will gentleman sweep the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals

I'll say right now Lakers... it's a gentleman sweep. I'm calling it a sweep four games to one. They're gonna gentleman sweep their way. I think the Lakers like I think they're going to win the series. I just don't I'm not going to say there. It's going to be sweep or five games. Yeah.

The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4-1 in the Western Conference Finals, making this an exactly correct prediction.

Eastern Conference Chaos

Over in the East, the Heat took Game 1 against the Celtics thanks to an all-time block by Bam Adebayo on Jayson Tatum. Big Cat has officially seen enough to move Jimmy Butler into his elite tier of players, while PFT thinks Bam's defensive heroics surpassed even the most iconic Finals moments.

Jimmy Butler is solidly a top 10 NBA player.

I've moved I've leveled [Jimmy Butler] up. He is solidly in the top 10. But yeah, we're I'm just waiting for Jim we respect Jay but on this podcast and Jake was was very happy with the result.

Butler's ranking is subjective, but he led the Heat to the 2020 NBA Finals and was universally regarded as a top-tier star during this period.

Bam Adebayo's block on Jayson Tatum was better than LeBron James' chase-down blocks

Definitely better than the chase Downs by LeBron. Those are just brought. Those are just be LeBron being lazy and like waiting for his moment. This is actually an impressive block it really it's more the Celtics part 14 in the fourth quarter

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of basketball highlights.

Hank was understandably in a foul mood, lashing out at Jake (a noted Heat fan) and spilling a Red Bull all over his desk. Despite the Game 1 loss, Hank is still clinging to the hope that Boston finds their rhythm and handles the Heat in short order.

The Celtics will win three of the next four games against the Heat

I mean I feel like we should have won that game easily. We're gonna fight back and when like three of the next four, yeah, that's for me to feel good.

The Heat won the series 4-2. The Celtics did not win three of the next four; they went 2-2 in the next four games.

Dan Patrick Joins the Show

The legendary Dan Patrick joined the program to talk about his move to Peacock and the state of the sports world. The conversation touched on everything from the Big Ten's messy return to Pete Rose's Hall of Fame status. Dan provided some clarity on the Big Ten rumors, suggesting that the October 10th target date might have been a bit optimistic.

The Big Ten will likely miss their target return date of October 10th.

The target date is October 10th. That allow them to play 10 games and then they could get into the playoffs whether they get to the October 10th date, which I doubt they are. That was what their plan was.

The Big Ten did miss the October 10th target date, ultimately returning on October 24th, 2020.

Pete Rose will not and should not get into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

He shouldn't get in the Hall of Fame he won't get in the Hall of Fame... he was betting on his team. Right but but now that on your team, but now you can manipulate money but they're taking gambling money. That's hip right? I know but he could manipulate the lineup.

Pete Rose remains banned from baseball and has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Before letting Dan go, the guys engaged in a high-stakes betting segment for the NFL season. While Dan kept it professional, Big Cat decided to put his dignity on the line for his Denver Broncos. If the Broncos don't make the postseason, Big Cat is going to have a very messy situation to deal with on Instagram.

The Denver Broncos finished 5-11 and missed the playoffs by a wide margin.

Hot Seat, Cool Throne and Guys on Chicks

Hot Seat/Cool Throne covered the US Open's brutal rough at Winged Foot and Aaron Rodgers' new look. PFT has a very specific theory about where Rodgers is going with his facial hair this season.

Aaron Rodgers will shave his beard into an ironic waxed mustache by Week 10

I have a prediction to make about Aaron Rodgers facial hair this year. So he's growing out the big hipster beard... at least by week 10 or 11, he's going to shave it into an ironic mustache. I even think he might do the curly cues. Yeah the cowboy he's gonna do the waxing thing at the end.

Rodgers kept a variety of facial hair throughout the 2020 season, but he did not go for the specific waxed 'curly cue' mustache PFT described.

In a quick "Trouble in Paradise" segment, the guys looked at Allen Robinson scrubbing the Bears from his social media. Big Cat is losing his mind over the front office's inability to pay their best offensive player after a big Week 1 win.

The Chicago Bears must sign Allen Robinson immediately

Ryan pay stop being a fucking idiot and sign out Robins dude... Any New York team would love Alan Robinson the Jets. That would be such a Jets move... I just it's just such as so class. Like bears like doesn't even give you to 48 hours to enjoy win.

The Bears did not sign Robinson to a long-term extension in 2020; they eventually used the franchise tag on him in 2021.

The show wrapped up with Guys on Chicks, featuring a listener who is having sex dreams about a best friend and a husband with vicious night terrors. Billy Football even managed to squeeze in some agricultural advice for a chicken farmer before the credits rolled.

Crushing oyster shells and putting them in a chicken coop is good for their eggshells.

If you crush up oyster shells and put them in your chicken coop, it's actually really good for the eggshells.

Oyster shells are a common calcium supplement used by poultry farmers to ensure strong eggshells in laying hens.

Hopefully, Big Cat’s chest stays clean and the Big Ten actually remembers how to play football.

The Lakers will win the NBA Finals in five games against the Celtics or six games against the Heat.

If it's Lakers Celtics. I think the Lakers win 4 to 1, it's Lakers heat. I think they went for two to this series is my personal finals because it is personal final cause it's gonna be fun to watch.

The Lakers beat the Heat in 6 games to win the 2020 NBA Title, making his Lakers-Heat prediction exactly correct.

I think that I think that the Panthers will be in the wild-card conversation as late as mid-November Teddy Bridgewater. Wow.

The Panthers were 3-7 by mid-November 2020. While mathematically alive, they were not seriously in the 'conversation' for a wild card spot at that point.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a fraud who needs a signature move to succeed in the playoffs.

I had no problem saying the Miami Heat would win that series against Milwaukee had no problem saying that whatsoever because in the in that playoffs, you can't just run up and down the floor like they do during the regular season. Miami has had a great philosophy here, but I think the Greek Freak has got to get a signature move.

Giannis won the 2021 NBA title the following year. While he didn't develop a traditional post 'signature move,' he proved his style could win at the highest level.
