Trey Wingo on NFL Live, the Brady vs. Manning Debate, and NBA Flat Earthers
NBA All-Star weekend just wrapped up in New Orleans, and the city continues to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of hosting sports fans. PFT believes there is a legal requirement for everyone to praise the Big Easy the second a camera turns on.
PFT CommenterEvery Super Bowl and All-Star game should be held in New Orleans
Anytime you have a big sporting event in New Orleans, you're contractually obligated to say, why don't they just have every Super Bowl and All-Star game in New Orleans?
The biggest story of the weekend wasn't the actual basketball, though. It was Kyrie Irving blowing everyone's minds by suggesting the world is flat. While some journalists were busy worrying about the impressionable children, Big Cat saw right through the noise.
Big CatKyrie Irving's flat earth comments were likely a headline grab or a prank on the media
Kyrie Irving... let's just call a spade a spade, he was doing this for headlines. I can't decide if it's either a headline for the podcast... or if it was simply all the NBA players getting together and being like, 'Let's prank the media. Let's fuck with them.'
Speaking of strange vibes, Guy Fieri was everywhere in New Orleans, basically filling the void left by a missing Kevin Hart. PFT thinks we are witnessing the rise of a new American deity.
PFT CommenterGuy Fieri is the closest thing America has to producing its own Jesus
I don't think I'm going overboard when I say it, but Guy Fieri is probably as close as Americans will get to producing our own Jesus.
Russell Westbrook and the Friends with Benefits Era
The guys also broke down the awkward dynamic between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. They finally connected on an alley-oop, which felt like a massive weight being lifted off the entire league, though PFT has a very specific analogy for that brief moment of connection.
PFT CommenterKevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are officially 'friends with benefits' after their All-Star Game alley-oop
An alley-oop is kind of like makeup sex. You connect in that one little instant, and you're like, yeah, I remember this whole relationship could be a lot of fun. I'll just say that they're friends with benefits now.
As for the rest of the NBA elite, the conversation naturally turned to LeBron James and his place in the global power structure. Big Cat is starting to see the signs that LeBron might be moving in more exclusive circles than just the All-NBA First Team.
Big CatLeBron James is likely a member of the Illuminati
LeBron at this point, can we all just admit that he's probably part of the Illuminati? At least he's an ancillary part of the Illuminati with Jay-Z and all that shit.
Trey Wingo on the NFL and the GOAT Debate
ESPN's Trey Wingo joined the show to discuss the grind of live TV and his surprisingly deep closet. While he tried to dodge some of the more aggressive investigative journalism regarding his golf habits, he didn't hold back on the state of Tiger Woods' career.
Trey WingoTiger Woods will never win another major
Tiger's never coming back... I would love to see him win a major, but I don't think it's going to happen.
Wingo also waded into the Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning debate. He brought a professional's perspective to the table, arguing that we shouldn't just count rings when evaluating individual greatness, especially considering the coaching advantage in New England.
Trey WingoPeyton Manning's success with multiple coaches gives him a valid argument over Tom Brady
Brady has had the luxury of being with, and I think this is not debatable, the greatest coach in the history of football... I know what Peyton Manning is away from the Colts or Tony Dungy. He's been to a Super Bowl with four different head coaches. He's won a Super Bowl with two different head coaches.
He also gave some love to the elite-haired Joe Flacco for his legendary playoff run, while clarifying his stance on how we should actually judge these quarterbacks.
Trey WingoWins and losses should not be considered a quarterback stat
I don't think wins and losses are a quarterback stat. I don't believe in that... Teams win games. Teams win championships. It's not Tom [Brady]. It's not Malcolm [Butler]. The Patriots won that game.
Tony Romo Watch and the Dunk Contest
The Dunk Contest was a bit of a letdown this year, mostly because it feels like we've seen everything the human body can do in the air. PFT thinks the saturation of the market is reaching a breaking point.
PFT CommenterThe Dunk Contest is boring because there are a finite amount of body positions possible
It's not like the dunks aren't super impressive. It's just that we've seen every dunk. It's like watching porn. There's a finite amount of body positions that the human form can get into. Eventually, you just get bored with it.
Then there is the ongoing saga of Carmelo Anthony. Melo had to cancel a vacation to Puerto Rico because he was named an All-Star injury replacement, a "downer" that Big Cat has very little sympathy for given Melo's career choices.
Big CatCarmelo Anthony's legacy is choosing the most money over winning championships
Thoughts and prayers to the man [Carmelo Anthony] who has taken every single dollar at every turn in his career instead of maybe trying to win a championship... He took the most amount of money to stay in the dumpster fire that is New York. That's kind of your situation, Melo.
Finally, the show officially launched Tony Romo Watch. With the Cowboys likely moving on, the guys made their predictions for where the veteran QB will land. Big Cat is looking at the AFC South, while PFT and Hank have their own theories on who wants to deal with that fourth-quarter stress.
Big CatTony Romo will be the quarterback for the Houston Texans next season
I'm going to say right now I think [Tony Romo] is going to the Texans.
HankTony Romo will sign with the Los Angeles Rams
I think he's going to the Los Angeles Rams. Sleeper.
If Tony Romo ends up on the Rams, we might have to officially retire Hank from making predictions forever.
