JB Smoove and Steven Cheah on NFL Draft Lingo and Curb Season 11
The NFL Draft is officially upon us, and Kyle Shanahan is currently doing his best to convince everyone that human life itself is a day-to-day proposition. Between Shanahan’s existential threats and the 49ers front office bragging about 600 Zoom calls, it’s clear the smoke has reached toxic levels. Big Cat is already calling the time of death on the current era in San Francisco.
Big CatThis is officially the end for Jimmy Garoppolo on the 49ers
This is the end for Jimmy Garoppolo, I think we all can agree. We always joke about the vote of confidence that a coach will get, and that usually means the end... [John Lynch] said he has been a pro... That is such a bare minimum thing to compliment a guy.
PFT and Big Cat also spent some time looking at the DUI mugshot of Mac Jones, noting a suspicious amount of "cry in the eye" for a potential franchise quarterback. PFT thinks the ceiling might be lower than people realize.
PFT CommenterMac Jones is only the best backup quarterback prospect in the 2021 draft
Mac Jones is the best backup quarterback in this draft at the next level. He projects to be a top-tier, long-term backup.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank leads off the Hot Seat with Elon Musk, who is apparently causing a revolt among the SNL cast because he’s too rich. The conversation naturally shifts to movies where Hank reveals that a classic has finally been dethroned by a bear in a raincoat.
HankCitizen Kane is no longer the best movie of all time according to Rotten Tomatoes
Someone that works at Rotten Tomatoes found an 80-year-old review... talking a negative review about Citizen Kane. So they put it in the Rotten Tomatoes whatever system, and now it's 99 on Rotten Tomatoes, not 100. Paddington 2 is 100. So Citizen Kane, by Rotten Tomatoes metrics, no longer the best movie of all time.
Big Cat puts people still wearing masks outdoors on the Hot Seat, claiming his fogged-up sunglasses gave him the CDC intel a week early. Meanwhile, the NHL is moving to ESPN, which PFT predicts will lead to some very watered-down versions of our favorite hockey podcasters.
PFT CommenterESPN's new hockey coverage will feature a 'safe' and poor imitation of Ryan Whitney or Paul Bissonnette
My prediction is that they're going to need to find somebody to fill like the Paul Bissonette, Ryan Whitney. There's definitely a meeting going on right now at ESPN where they're like, 'we need to get our Biz Nasty or Ryan Whitney of our own on ESPN.' But, you know, like a little safer than them. And they're going to go out there and try to find somebody. And it's going to be the worst impression of Paul Bissonette and Ryan Whitney that they have on the set.
JB Smoove and Daily Wisdom
Friend of the program JB Smoove joins the show while in the middle of filming season 11 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. He’s here to pitch his new podcast, *May I Elaborate*, and it didn't take long for him to start breaking down the guys' lives. JB explains that "tired gets in the way of tired" and suggests Big Cat delete his mental cache by coming to work naked until someone puts up a sign saying he can't.
He also talks about the Jets' current restart, comparing it to a new relationship where you have to learn a new woman’s rhythm so you don’t tangle your feet and fall on your face. Larry David is apparently in peak giggling form on the Curb set, which JB sees as blood in the water. He’s not satisfied until he makes a snot bubble come out of Larry’s nose.
Draft Lingo with Steven Cheah
Barstool’s own senior draft analyst Steven Cheah joins the show to discuss his "PhD" in scouting and his time spent in the trenches of Radio City Music Hall. We put Steven through the gauntlet using Daniel Jeremiah’s secret scouting buzzwords. Steven identifies Jalen Mayfield as a prospect who might be a bit too "dumpy" for the tackle position.
Steven CheahJalen Mayfield is a 'dumpy' prospect who will have to move from tackle to guard in the NFL due to his arm size
Jalen Mayfield... is your classic, like bad body guy, but he's a better football player. As far as offensive tackles arm size, you're going to want to see 34 inches and above; I believe [Jalen] Mayfield's like 32 and change. So that kind of limits him. He's probably going to move inside to guard because his arms aren't really a required size to play on the outside.
The conversation turns to the most polarizing prospects in the class. While the media is busy picking Justin Fields apart, Steven is standing on the table for the Ohio State product.
Steven CheahJustin Fields is the 'Red Star' guy of the 2021 draft who will not bust
My red star guy, honestly, Justin Fields. I think everyone's overthinking Justin Fields. The fact that he's not going to be a top three quarterback... This guy's not going to bust. I know that this guy is legit. He's the guy we should draft on our team. I'm fully vouching for this guy.
Steven also sticks to his guns regarding the Heisman winner, noting that no amount of sand can fix a frame that simply isn't built for the NFL grind. He’s doubling down on the weight concerns for the Alabama star.
Steven CheahDeVonta Smith does not have the physical frame to add significant weight in the NFL
DeVonta Smith officially [weighed in] a couple weeks ago at 166 pounds. He had several months to gain weight and puff up. He got to 166. So he was several pounds below that. DeVonta Smith just does not have the frame to add more weight because he had several months to do so and still couldn't do it. I don't see how he gets into an NFL program and then all of a sudden gets to like 185 or 190. He just needs more sand.
To wrap things up, we asked Steven who is most likely to get their head coach fired. He didn't hesitate to point toward San Francisco, where the tension between the front office and the coaching staff is palpable.
Steven CheahMac Jones is the 'Coach Killer' of the 2021 draft for Kyle Shanahan
It is Mac Jones because – It is, from what we've heard, Kyle Shanahan versus the personnel department in San Francisco... If Mac Jones does not turn out and Trey Lance and or Justin Fields turns out to be a very good player, we could be witnessing the beginning of the end to Kyle Shanahan.
If Mac Jones doesn't work out, it’s not just a missed pick—it’s a career-ender for the guys in charge.
We close out with some listener FAQs where we learn that men snore because our ballsacks cover our buttholes when we sleep, effectively making us airtight. Science.
