Jim Gaffigan on Slub Life, Coaching Carousel, and Documentary Review
The coaching carousel is spinning out of control, and Big Cat and PFT are here to judge every single move. The Giants finally landed on Joe Judge, a name that sent half of New York to Wikipedia to figure out who he was. While he comes from the Saban and Belichick trees, the guys are already looking for the silver lining.
PFT CommenterYou have to compare Joe Judge immediately to John Harbaugh
You have to compare [Joe Judge] immediately to John Harbaugh. Of course. And say, okay, this guy could work. Because not enough special team guys get opportunities.
Down in Carolina, Matt Rhule took the job after the Panthers basically kidnapped him in Charlotte to prevent him from flying to New York for a second interview. Big Cat is actually a fan of the hire because Rhule isn't just another retread or a college guy relying solely on blue-chip recruits.
Big CatI would rather hire Matt Rhule than Nick Saban or Urban Meyer
I actually would feel more comfortable getting a Matt Rhule type than like an Urban Meyer or even a Nick Saban... Matt Rule did more with less. Temple is not really a football powerhouse. Baylor was obviously in kind of a disaster zone. So he wasn't beating guys with just going out and getting all the recruits... He was beating them, I would assume, with at least some X's and O's.
Then there’s the Cowboys. Jerry Jones had a literal sleepover with Mike McCarthy and decided that he was the man to lead Dallas into the next decade. Big Cat isn't exactly sold on McCarthy being a revolutionary upgrade over the Clapper.
Big CatMike McCarthy is just a fatter version of Jason Garrett
It's a great hire for Jerry Jones because he basically just hired a fatter Jason Garrett. Do you think Mike McCarthy's going to steal the show in Dallas? Do you think he's going to make the headlines?
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hot Seat is the 'Blake of the Year' title. Hank is getting worried because the Blake fraternity is falling apart. Blake Griffin is out for the season with surgery, and Blake Bortles has basically disappeared. PFT is starting to think there's a supernatural element at play here.
PFT CommenterThere is a Blake of the Year curse
So it's time to ask, is there a Blake of the Year curse? You've got Griffin [surgery]. Bortles got traded. He moved teams... and went bald.
Also on the Hot Seat is anyone standing in the way of Stephen A. Smith. The face of ESPN is going on a seven-day apple cider vinegar cleanse, which means he's going to be hungry, irritable, and ready to unleash hell on Max Kellerman.
PFT CommenterStephen A. Smith will be extra spicy because of his apple cider vinegar cleanse
Stephen A. Smith just announced that he's going on a seven-day apple cider vinegar cleanse... He's going to be on a First Take just with a mouth tasting like all kinds of soy sauce... and he's going to have an empty belly. He's going to be sweating... a hungry dog runs faster.
Cool Throne goes to the Miami Heat for the most aggressive jersey retirement in sports history. They are retiring Dwyane Wade’s number over three days. Not three games, just three days. Big Cat is convinced there will be an ass-eating booth and Coachella-level festivities for a guy who has been retired for a year already.
Jim Gaffigan
Comedian and friend of the program Jim Gaffigan joined the show to talk about his new movie Troop Zero and his life as a professional slob. PFT immediately opened the interview by accusing Jim of stolen valor regarding his football career at Georgetown, which Jim was more than happy to admit was a Division III struggle bus.
PFT CommenterJim Gaffigan's claim that he played football at Georgetown is a 'perfect crime' lie
I don't think you actually played football at Georgetown. Because you say that you played football there, but that's the perfect crime to say that you played football at a school that is Division III and no longer really keeps records of those games back. I could say I was the starting center on the Hartford Whalers.
As a native of the Indiana/Chicago area, Jim still follows the NFL closely and dropped a absolute bomb regarding where he thinks the greatest quarterback of all time is heading next season.
Jim GaffiganI think Tom Brady is going to sign with the Tennessee Titans
I think [Tom Brady] is going to the Titans. Because of Vrabel. They've got a running back. They've got a good team. They've got salary cap.
Jim also gave us some insight into the aging process for men. While some fans might think the guys are in their prime, Jim was quick to remind them that for 99% of the male population, it's all downhill from here.
Jim GaffiganMen turn uglier and uglier as they get older
As you get older, men turn uglier and uglier... George Clooney and Brad Pitt, those guys are flukes. That was like a mistake. I would say that most guys are disgusting, right? It's just a known fact.
Don't F*ck With Cats Review
To wrap up the show, the guys did a deep dive into the Netflix documentary Don't F*ck With Cats. It’s the first documentary they’ve reviewed since Abducted in Plain Sight, and it lived up to the 'fucked up' billing. Big Cat was particularly impressed with John Green, the online sleuth who actually did the heavy lifting while Deanna Thompson (Body Movin) took most of the credit.
Big CatJohn Green was a much better online researcher than Deanna Thompson
John Green dominated [Deanna Thompson] in terms of researching things online... At the end, when he and [Deanna] were sitting at the diner, and she was like, 'I would have quit without you,' and he was like, 'I know you would have.'
While the documentary tries to paint the killer, Luka Magnotta, as a brilliant 'Catch Me If You Can' style mastermind, Big Cat wasn't buying the hype. The guy was a narcissist who left his own name and address in the trash next to the crime scene.
Big CatThe murderer in Don't F*ck With Cats was not a genius mastermind
This guy is not as smart as everyone's making him out to be. He is not some mastermind. He's a fucked up piece of shit... he's narcissistic and he got caught in like three days.
There was also a somber realization at the end of the review. The documentary asks if the internet sleuths actually fueled the fire by giving a narcissist exactly what he wanted: an audience.
Big CatThe online cat-hunter group is somewhat responsible for the murder in 'Don't F*ck With Cats'
Media and our obsession with crime documentaries and their obsession with finding someone... they are somewhat responsible. There are psycho people out there, but [Luka Magnotta] wanted to be chased and they chased him. We kind of gave it all to him.
Next time you see a weirdo on Facebook, maybe just keep scrolling instead of starting a global manhunt.
