Recap
Big CatThe Detroit Lions will be a better football team this year
I think the [Lions] will be better this year, but [Dan Campbell], the way he talks to his team, like the fact that he's always on the verge of crying football guy tears, he's always on the verge of crying. Holy shit, can that guy fire up a team?
PFT CommenterSean Marks is a bad GM because he brought in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving
I kind of agree with Kevin Durant. I think that Sean Marks is a bad GM because he brought Kevin Durant in. So Kevin Durant is right. They should fire him for bringing him in there.
PFT CommenterLinebackers have become the running backs of the defense
I think that linebackers have kind of become the running backs of the defense where you don't need to pay a right. You don't need to start. Right. And I, in a way, like I missed the old days where it was, you know, like a linebacker centric league.
Big CatI don't believe Chris Sale actually fell off a bicycle
I just don't believe it. I was gonna say like, gut, just going off my gut right now until I see video evidence. I think he was like playing basketball. I think it was something else. Yeah, no I do. I do not believe because Chris Sale... he just is the king of weird injuries. So I, I don't, I don't really buy it.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatColin Cowherd knows exactly who PMT is and is doing a bit by pretending not to
He is now going on seven years of the running gag of pretending he doesn't know who we are... he described me as a standup comedian, big guy, big physical presence. And I like, at this point I respect Cowherd for doing this because he is so committed to it... for him to pretend he doesn't know what the number one sports podcast is. I actually tip my cap. Like it's funny.
Billy FootballMekhi Becton's shattered kneecap could be good for his career
I think maybe this time will do him well, mature, and we'll see him this year. The shattered kneecap could be really good for his NFL career is what I'm trying to say, trying to be optimistic.
Interview
Jake PlummerYou can never be at the same level of authentic humanity as Pat Tillman
I try to not talk too much about Pat because I feel like he lived his life at such a high level for me to talk for him... I'm trying to raise my game so I can actually be at that similar level, but you could never be at a level of someone like him.
Jake PlummerLion's Mane mushroom is a daily regimen everyone should use for brain health
Lions Mane is great for your brain for neuronal growth basically for all neurons in your body. Lions Mane is one that we're gonna have a lot of research done here soon that's gonna show that it's a something that everybody should have in their daily regimen.
Mount Rushmore
Billy FootballOxygen is a universally loved thing
Something we all take for granted... Oxygen. Everyone loves oxygen and especially, hey, we've all been carrying stuff around altitude... If you didn't have oxygen, you would die. Do you love breathing? You want to breathe. If I took you out to the water and drowned you... you gotta succeed as much as you want to breathe.
