Grit Week has officially come to a close, and it went out with the kind of energy that only a tour through Louisiana can provide. After surviving the humidity and a week of living in Vanny Woodhead, Big Cat and PFT Commenter returned to a studio where the Knicks are surprisingly handling business. Memes and Zac are currently floating on a cloud, having declared the series against the Cavs over before the plane even landed in Chicago.
Knicks Fever and NBA Discourse
The Knicks being up 2-0 has completely changed the vibe in the office. Memes is so deep in the sauce that he's already ranking current players against franchise legends, mostly because his childhood was spent watching some truly horrific basketball.
MemesJalen Brunson is already the greatest Knick of my lifetime
He's my number one at this point... In my lifetime, The Knicks have fucking sucked. Right. They made it to the finals when I was four years old.
PFT and Big Cat aren't exactly tempering expectations either. While the Cavs' shooters have been missing wide-open looks, the PMT crew is already looking toward the finals. PFT even has a marketing solution for the league's struggling free-throw shooters like Mitchell Robinson.
PFT CommenterThe NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it
Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.
Speaking of the Finals, the Western Conference discourse has become a battle over officiating and Victor Wembanyama's ascent. Big Cat is already ready to crown the French phenom, claiming he's seen enough to make some massive historical comparisons.
Big CatVictor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James
I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.
The Return of Coach O
Meeting with Coach O in Baton Rouge is always a spiritual experience. This interview took place just 24 hours before it was officially announced he was returning to the LSU staff, and the passion for the Tigers was pouring out of him. He broke down his definition of grit, which involves a level of physical intensity that makes most people want to stay on the couch.
Coach OGrit is about scraping your face against the cement and coming out victorious through adversity
Grit is, is be able to face adversity, dig in deep, scrape your face against the cement when it's tough, full of blood facing adversity and coming out victorious.
Coach O also gave some legendary insight into the defensive line, reminiscing about the sheer speed of Warren Sapp and defending current stars like Rueben Bain against the NFL's obsession with measurables.
Coach ORueben Bain is a 'baller' and NFL scouts shouldn't worry about his arm length
You know, remember they told Joe Burrow his hands were too small. Y'all remember that? Yeah. Yeah. His hands were too small. Right. Yeah. Okay. You know, I think, I think that could be overstated. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong with this guy [Rueben Bain]. He's a football player, he's a baller.
He didn't hold back on the state of the program he's returning to, either. When asked about the Brian Kelly era, he pointed to one specific moment—the infamous fake southern accent—as the beginning of the end. According to O, players can smell a fake from a mile away.
Coach OBrian Kelly doomed his LSU tenure the moment he used a fake southern accent at a basketball game
It's over. They ain't got a chance. You ain't got a chance, man. And you know, and, and not only the fans see it, the players see that... You gotta be who you are and you try to be somebody you ain't, they going to, they gonna smell it right away.
Kellen Moore and the Greatest Fart in Podcast History
The Saints facility hosted the crew for a sit-down with new Head Coach Kellen Moore. While Moore was great on the X's and O's, discussing the blue turf of Boise and his transition from coordinator to the big chair, the interview will forever be remembered for "The Incident."
Midway through a serious question, an incredibly loud sound erupted from the back of the room. Hank, wearing a cartoonish Pelicans hat and sitting on a chair with the acoustics of a concert hall, accidentally let one rip. It brought the entire interview to a standstill as Kellen and Big Cat locked eyes in disbelief.
HankI did not fart during the Kellen Moore interview; it was just air that fell out of my body
The sound did come out of me, my body. But it was not a conscious fart... Most farts air coming out of your asshole, max, most farts max have to push. Like most farts, you're like, this one fell out... I was not like, consciously like, oh, I got a fart. But when I lifted up my leg, I, I guess I had like gas down there... A dude came out of my ass. That was so loud.
Once the room regained its composure, Moore discussed his quick immersion into the NFC South. With Cam Jordan acting as his primary educator, the former Boise State legend has already fully adopted the local traditions.
I have quickly learned to hate the Atlanta Falcons
Do you hate the Falcons? Yes, I've grown quickly into that mode. The team in red? Yes. Yeah. I think as the week grew, Cam [Jordan] really educated me on the rivalry and the understanding of that.
Fyre Fest and Final Thoughts
The week ended with a massive Fyre Fest, mostly centered on the fallout from Hank's "non-fart." Between PFT getting his neck blown out by a Saints strength coach and the crew building a playground for a child with cancer alongside Blake Bortles, it was a quintessential Grit Week.
Before the show wrapped, Hank made sure to settle one final score regarding some Boston radio hosts who had been chirping at the show's Belichick interview.
HankMy official stance on the Toucher & Rich radio beef is simply 'fuck 'em'
I'm not leading this battle. They took a shot. I said fuck him. And that's where I stand... Official stance. So you guys can just fuck him.
There is truly nothing like the open road, high-humidity yoga, and the physics of a circular chair to bring a team together.
Wash your socks, trust the process, and GEAUX TIGERS.
