Jared Goff on the Sun, Jeff Fisher, and Facing Tom Brady
Big Cat and PFT Commenter are live from Detroit for the MAC Championship, kicking off the Natty Tour in style. The energy is high as they prepare for a weekend of college football and RV life, but the real news of the day is the return of Tiger Woods. Tiger is back on the course, though the guys are looking at his performance through a very specific lens.
PFT CommenterTiger Woods intentionally shot over par because a 69 would have triggered his sex addiction
Tiger, as we know, is a sex addict, and we all have triggers when it comes to things. He cannot go out there and shoot a 69. He knew that. He knew that would be a trigger for him. [He would march] right back into a Hooters. It took a lot of mental strength for him to not fall into that trap.
While the Tiger fanboys were out in full force after a strong front nine, Big Cat isn't ready to buy back into the hype just yet. The sponsorship situation is also getting a bit grim, with Tiger moving from elite global brands to being a Monster Energy guy.
Big CatTiger Woods will never again look like his old self for four straight days at the highest level
Show me Tiger Woods four days in a row at the highest level. Not going to happen. Not going to happen. Not going to happen.
PFT CommenterTiger Woods took a Monster Energy sponsorship because he wants to turn into a 'JV' version of himself
I'd like to see Tiger turn into Cabrera, the guy that smokes on the golf course. I'd like to see Tiger just embrace the new weird, washed up, second rate C plus JV Tiger and just start smoking.
Mike Zimmer's Eye Patch and Coaching Toughness
Coach Mike Zimmer had to miss the Vikings game due to emergency eye surgery, which led to a legendary 10-minute discussion on the RV about the potential for Zimmer to coach with a black eye patch. PFT is convinced that certain coaches would have absolutely leaned into the aesthetic for branding purposes.
PFT CommenterThe NFL should have logo-branded eyepatches for coaches like Mike Zimmer
If it was Jack [Del Rio] or if it was like Bruce Arians, Pete Carroll... They would have their team logo put on the eyepatch. Rex Ryan would for sure.
Despite the coaching absence, Sam Bradford actually put together a gutsy performance that had the guys reconsidering the trade that brought him to Minnesota. Even with the loss, PFT is ready to call the trade a win for the Vikings front office.
PFT CommenterSam Bradford is officially worth the two draft picks the Vikings traded for him
[Sam Bradford] is probably worth the two picks now, right? Yeah. I think so. Good call. You nailed that one.
Jared Goff on Being a "Football Guy"
L.A. Rams rookie quarterback Jared Goff joined the show to discuss his transition to the NFL, his upcoming matchup against Tom Brady, and the infamous Hard Knocks moment where he didn't know where the sun rose. Goff was a great sport about the "sun-gate" drama, though he did admit he hasn't officially graduated from Cal yet. When the conversation turned to his childhood fandom, Goff revealed some strong feelings about the post-Jeff Garcia era in San Francisco.
Jared GoffI grew up a 49ers fan and could never get on board with Tim Rattay because they were terrible with him
I guess not a fan of was Tim Rattay... He was the Niners quarterback when I was... or one of them, one of the many when I was growing up. And I was a big Niner fan, and they were terrible with him. I could never get on board with him ever.
Big Cat and PFT also grilled him on his current head coach, Jeff Fisher, trying to determine if the man with the famously long shirts is the ultimate "football guy."
Jared GoffJeff Fisher is as big of a 'football guy' as they come
As big of a football guy as I come... I mean, that's his whole deal. I mean, he's there all day, and obviously he's been a head coach for a long time, been in football longer than a lot of head coaches in the league.
Jared GoffIf you use the terms 'San Fran' or 'Frisco' to describe San Francisco, you are clearly not from the Bay Area
Frisco's bad. If you're from the Bay Area, the city is San Francisco. You would never really say, I'm going to San Francisco. You'd say, I'm going to the city. If somebody says they're going to San Fran or Frisco, you know they're not from there.
Hurt or Injured: The Gronk Dilemma
There was a dark cloud over the episode as the news broke that Rob Gronkowski would be undergoing back surgery. Hank was visibly devastated, but the guys tried to find the silver lining in the numbers. With Gronk stuck at 69 career touchdowns, there is a certain level of destiny at play.
HankRob Gronkowski might retire at 69 touchdowns just for the joke
Rob Gronkowski might retire just for the joke... No, but it's like a destiny thing. It really is a destiny thing. I don't think he wants to retire, but it's written in the stars.
Big CatRob Gronkowski is the best player in the NFL
I honestly think he's the best player in the NFL.
MLB's War on Chewing Tobacco
In a segment on the new MLB labor deal, PFT expressed his outrage over the league's decision to ban chewing tobacco for new players. In his eyes, this is a clear overreach that limits a player's freedom to make their own health choices.
PFT CommenterThe MLB ban on chewing tobacco is an infringement on a player's right to get cancer
I think it's offensive to me. You should have the right to get cancer if you want it. And you're stealing that right from baseball players.
PFT CommenterEvery person who hasn't chewed tobacco has eventually died
Every person that hasn't chewed tobacco has died in history. A little sabermetrics word. Or will die. Just written facts, dude.
To close out the week, the guys went through a round of Jimbos, featuring a laser tag mishap that involved black lights and a very unfortunate stain. Rather than being embarrassed, PFT suggested that a visible "splooge" stain is actually a biological power move.
PFT CommenterA visible semen stain on your pants is proof that you are in your sexual prime
It means, it's a confirmation that you're sexually, that you're in your sexual prime... Girls, they're biologically tuned to seek out guys that look fertile. What better proof is there than just having your boys dripping out of your fly?
See you guys in Indy.
