John Elway on Hall of Fame Career and Mt. Rushmore of After School Snacks
Football is officially back. With the Hall of Fame game right around the corner, Big Cat is already back in his peak form of blind optimism. The training camp social media clips are flowing, and it is the magical time of year when every fan base believes they have found the missing piece.
Big CatI am already talking myself into 10 wins for almost every NFL team
The social media from the first weekend of the NFL being back is awesome because every team you think that you're gonna be like 10 wins. I can talk myself into 10 wins for any team except for maybe, maybe not the Panthers.
While the NFL is ramping up, the Olympics are in full swing, and Team USA basketball is already providing plenty of drama. The biggest story out of the first game against Serbia wasn't the win, but Jayson Tatum's DNP-CD. Hank, currently on vacation and joining via Zoom, was not taking the news well. He spent most of the segment calling Steve Kerr names while Big Cat and PFT pointed out that Kevin Durant looked like the Slim Reaper of old.
HankSteve Kerr is a piece of shit for not playing Jason Tatum
Steve Kerr is a piece of shit. That's, that's really what this all boils down to. Jason Tatum did have a better plus minus than Joel Embiid. So there's that.
PFT CommenterSteve Kerr is benching Jayson Tatum to sabotage the Celtics' team chemistry
Maybe Steve Kerr is trying to stop the dynasty before it starts. It would be awesome if Steve Kerr was just trying to fuck with the Celtics' chemistry right now and just piss off their star player.
Hank wasn't just protective of Tatum; he was equally aggressive toward Joel Embiid's performance. The stats weren't pretty for the Sixers big man, and Hank is convinced that the Olympic benching of the Celtics stars is only going to lead to a very long year for the rest of the NBA.
HankJoel Embiid is the worst player in the entire Olympics
[Joel Embiid] is the worst player on the fucking team, probably in the whole Olympics.
HankThe Celtics will be the most motivated championship team ever because of the Olympic snubs
The Celtics are gonna be the most motivated championship winning team of all time coming into next year. It's gonna be great for Jason Tatum to be back on a team in an organization that actually appreciates him.
Urban Meyer and The L Lager
Who's Back of the week featured the return of Urban Meyer to the headlines. Urban is making waves in the beverage industry with a new Mexican-style lager at his brewhouse. Big Cat couldn't help but roast the branding choice, especially considering Urban's history with public photos in bars.
Big CatUrban Meyer's brewery is putting out a Mexican lager with the laziest name possible
Urban Meyer's back. I just saw that he has an update to his brewhouse... It's called 'El Lager.' I just love it. It's like the laziest name you could come up with. It's like what Budweiser would put on their can of beers during Hispanic Heritage Month.
In other Olympic news, the guys discussed the dominance of American swimming. While it's great to see Team USA racking up medals, Big Cat admitted that the Michael Phelps era may have permanently skewed his perspective on what a competitive race should look like.
Big CatMichael Phelps ruined swimming for me because he was too dominant
Michael Phelps ruined swimming for me personally. Because he was so goddamn dominant that, and it happened so recently that I'm watching swimming and I'm like, well, Phelps would've beaten all these guys.
The Legend John Elway
John Elway joined the show for a massive interview that covered everything from his iconic "Helicopter" run in the Super Bowl to the "Band is on the Field" game at Stanford. He walked through his draft-day leverage against the Colts and how close he actually came to being a New York Yankee.
John ElwayI would have been a baseball player if my dad hadn't been fired at Washington State
If he [Jack Elway]... went for the job because he graduated from Washington State... and he was the runner up for the job. And thank god he didn't get that job. Otherwise I'd probably been a baseball player. Because the high school [in Pullman] ran the single wing. And so it would've never been exposed to what I got exposed to when we went down to Southern California in football.
Elway also opened up about his transition to the front office and what he looked for in the quarterback position. He was remarkably candid about the current state of the game and his own history as a GM, specifically regarding the 2018 NFL Draft when the Broncos had the fifth overall pick.
John ElwayYou have to have a quarterback who can win from the pocket to win Super Bowls
To win Super Bowls, you have to have a quarterback that can win it from the pocket. You gotta be able to have the guys that can win it from the pocket because they're too good. I think that, you know, when you think about quarterbacks, I still believe you gotta win it from the pocket.
John ElwayPassing on Josh Allen for Bradley Chubb was the biggest mistake of my GM days
John [Allen] says, 'I'm wondering how long is it gonna take him to realize that I passed on him and took Bradley Chubb instead.' And it took him two and a half holes to bring it up. And I loved him [Allen], right? But it just didn't work out. And you're right. That was probably my biggest mistake of my GM days, not taking Josh.
Mt. Rushmore of After School Snacks
To wrap things up, the crew tackled a Mt. Rushmore of after-school snacks. This was a deep draft that saw Max leaning into "fourth meals" like Uncrustables and nuggets, while Big Cat stuck to the classics from the chip aisle and the pantry staples he still keeps in his house today.
Big CatDoritos are the best snack
I will go with Doritos. Cool Ranch Doritos are my favorite. Doritos are the best. They really are the best.
Big CatNutty Bars are a top-tier snack pick
Gonna go with Nutty Bars. Love them. Love them. Yeah. You know that You'll get my vote on that. It's a solid pick.
If you find yourself waking up in a pine box, just remember John Elway’s advice and make sure someone left a shovel in there with you.
