Josh Duhamel, Corey Kispert, Tom Brady Retires, and Father Three Loading
Tom Brady has officially retired from the NFL again, and the guys are convinced it is because Hank finally broke his heart by wearing a Dak Prescott jersey. While the retirement video seemed more official this time, PFT and Big Cat aren't entirely sold that the greatest of all time is truly hanging them up for good, especially considering he already set a precedent for the double-dip.
PFT CommenterTom Brady is the GOAT of retirements
It's back-to-back retirements, two consecutive retirements for Tom Brady. He's the GOAT at that too. Not a dynasty, but a nice little run.
Big Cat and PFT looked back at the insane longevity of Brady's career, noting that he basically had three separate Hall of Fame careers stacked on top of each other. The stats are mind-blowing, particularly his dominance over entire organizations when it comes to winning games in January.
Big CatTom Brady has more playoff wins than most NFL franchises; he has more than the Browns, Jets, and Saints combined.
Tom Brady has 35 [playoff wins], which is pretty fucking insane. He has more playoff games than 13 teams total. He has more playoff wins than the Browns, Jets and Saints combined as franchises.
Despite the heartfelt video on the beach, the conversation quickly turned to what Brady's life looks like next. Between a massive Fox contract waiting for him and a lifestyle of TB12 pseudoscience, the transition to the booth might not be as smooth as everyone expects, especially with Greg Olsen currently crushing it.
PFT CommenterGreg Olsen might fend off Tom Brady for the top Fox broadcasting job
I also think that there's a decent chance that Greg Olsen fends Tom Brady off somehow because he's that good and he's a proven commodity now. And you can still, you can think, yeah, it's Tom Brady and he'll probably approach it with the same dedication he approached football with... but I think that there's a chance that they work something out behind the scenes because they like Greg Olsen.
Josh Duhamel Out-Takes the Hosts
Actor Josh Duhamel joined the show to discuss his new movie *Shotgun Wedding*, but he quickly proved he’s a massive Vikings fan with some surprisingly spicy football opinions. Duhamel didn't hold back on the state of the NFC North or his own team’s limitations under center, comparing Kirk Cousins to a certain Cowboys quarterback.
Josh DuhamelKirk Cousins is just like Dak Prescott; he has a ceiling and is never going to lead a team to a Super Bowl win.
I gotta say the guy [Cousins] played pretty well... The problem is he's like Dak, he's got a cap and he's not, he's never going to take you all the way... He's gonna do something stupid in the end... He's gonna check down.
Duhamel's loyalty to players from the Dakotas reached a fever pitch when the conversation turned to Carson Wentz. Despite the mountain of evidence that Wentz’s best days are years in the rearview mirror, Duhamel stood his ground in a way that left Big Cat and PFT questioning his sanity.
Josh DuhamelI still believe Carson Wentz has good football left in him and I would take him on the Vikings right now.
I still believe in Carson... You don't jump ship on somebody that quickly... I still believe that he's got some good football in him. I'll take him on the Vikings, man. I would trade [Kirk Cousins] for him.
Corey Kispert on the NBA and the Zags
Washington Wizards forward Corey Kispert stopped by the studio to talk about his transition to the league and his time at Gonzaga. PFT and Big Cat offered some high-level coaching advice: just shoot the ball every single time you touch it. Kispert also gave some insight into the best places to play in the NBA, giving a nod to some classic East Coast venues.
Corey KispertMadison Square Garden, Philly, and Capital One Arena are the three best shooters' gyms in the NBA
Personally I think it's the Garden. I think it's Philly. And then as a Wizard, I think it's the Great Capital One Arena. Great spot to watch a game.
Beyond his own game, Kispert reflected on the legacy of the Gonzaga program and the inevitability of Mark Few finally cutting down the nets. He also shared his experience playing against the greats, noting that one superstar's defensive game doesn't get nearly enough credit from the casual fan.
Corey KispertSteph Curry is an underrated defender because he has great hands and gets a lot of steals.
I would say [Steph Curry's] defense is underrated... You see his stature and his height and you kind of think you can go at him, but he does a really good job. He's got great hands and gets a ton of steals.
Fyre Fest and a Big Announcement
The show wrapped up with Fyre Fest of the week, where PFT declared war on a certain groundhog for dictating the weather. PFT’s solution to Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction of six more weeks of winter is a personal protest involving his wardrobe choices.
PFT CommenterI am going to wear shorts and short-sleeve t-shirts all next week in the cold just to prove that Punxsutawney Phil isn't the boss of me.
Be a fucking man. I'm gonna put on shorts right in that little rat fuck's [Punxsutawney Phil] face. I'm gonna wear shorts next, all next week... just to show that little wannabe Greta Thunberg telling me, 'oh, the sky is falling,' that I'm a man and I can make my own decisions.
Finally, Big Cat dropped a bombshell on the crew. In true football guy fashion, he revealed that he is expecting his third child, proving that his commitment to the off-season extends far beyond just the NFL calendar.
Big CatI am having a third child and I purposefully conceived to ensure it wouldn't be born during football season
I'm having another child, so congrats. Father three loading... early June... Are you purposely conceiving for the off-season? I mean, yeah... it's nice not having children during football season. I am a football guy.
Between Billy Football preparing for a public execution in the ring against Billy McFarland and the guys getting ready for a massive week in Arizona, the road to the Super Bowl is officially wide open.
Congrats on the sex, Big Cat.
