Julian Edelman on Retirement, the Super League's Death, and Lakers Catfish
The Super League is dead and we basically have only ourselves to thank for its swift demise. Big Cat and PFT are taking full credit for bullying the billionaires into submission, even if FIFA tries to pretend they were the ones protecting the fans. PFT is already looking at the motives behind the governing bodies suddenly finding a conscience.
PFT CommenterFIFA only sided with fans against the Super League to protect their own revenue from the Champions League
We figured it out afterwards. It's because FIFA controls UEFA, the Champions League, and the Super League would have sucked all the money out of UEFA. So that's why FIFA was doing this. Not because they're like some big [humanitarians].
While the 18-hour league provided some of the best content of the year, PFT isn't convinced the threat is gone for good. He expects the greed to return once the heat dies down.
PFT CommenterEuropean billionaires will try to create a Super League again in two years under the cover of a major event
When this was all put to bed so quickly, they're going to try this again in two years. They're going to learn from what happened this time, and they're going to do it in the dead of night... during the Olympics, like when Putin invaded the Crimea.
In the world of online absurdity, Lakers Twitter was rocked by a catfishing scandal involving a fake persona named Vivian who allegedly faked everything from cancer to an abduction. While the internet was busy exposing the fraud, Big Cat saw an opportunity for a high-upside acquisition for the PMT brand.
Big CatWe should treat the Lakers catfish account like a 'distressed asset' and hire her as a correspondent
In the finance world, it's a distressed asset. We're buying distressed assets in the hope that we can turn them around... It's one in a million shot that she's actually who she says she is. But if she is, she'll remember that we were the ones who had her back... she's our official Lakers correspondent.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hot Seat: The "one-shell" rule. With the Bengals revealing new uniforms that are basically the old uniforms with fewer stripes, the conversation naturally turned to the NFL's restrictive helmet policy. Big Cat is ready to put his reputation on the line regarding the future of league aesthetics.
Big CatI'm calling my shot: the NFL will change the 'one-shell' helmet rule within the next two years
I think the NFL in the next two years, I'm going to call my shot, is going to change the one-shell-only rule so that there can be multiple different helmets all year long, and it's going to be sick.
Cool Throne: Max Homa and the new PGA Tour bonus structure. The Tour is basically creating a popularity contest, and PFT is ready to lead the charge in making sure our good friend Max Homa gets every cent of that engagement money.
PFT CommenterI will do everything I can to help Max Homa game the new PGA bonus system for extra money
We are absolutely going to do everything that we can to get Max Homa this extra money. Because Brooks [Koepka] will do it on his own... Max might need some help from us. [The PGA] can't get in trouble for defrauding the PGA Tour.
Julian Edelman
Future Hall of Famer Julian Edelman joined the show fresh off his retirement announcement. He was incredibly candid about the physical toll the game took on his body, admitting his knee is essentially bone-on-bone at this point. Despite the rumors that will inevitably fly every time a receiver on the Bucs gets a hangnail, Jules seems content with leaving it all on the field.
Julian EdelmanThe 2018 AFC Championship win in Kansas City is the favorite memory of my career
My favorite memory would probably have to be when we went to Kansas City and won that game in '18... my generation of Patriots, we never won on the road in the playoffs... to go in and get that W against the odds of that game, it was special.
He gave us an incredible look into the Patriot Way, describing the intense huddle dynamics with Tom Brady and the legendary weight room sessions with James Devlin. Big Cat thinks the description of the fullback's intensity alone should be enough to get Devlin a gold jacket.
Big CatIf Julian Edelman can't get into the Hall of Fame, we should at least induct James Devlin for his weight room intensity
I think we should put that your description of James Devlin there. That should be part of your Hall of Fame resume... the excitement that you had there to explain someone getting ready to like go to war at the squat rack. That's a football guy.
Edelman also touched on why so many coaches from the Belichick tree struggle once they leave Foxborough. It turns out, you can't just act like a hard-ass if you haven't been in the league since the Baltimore Colts existed.
Julian EdelmanBelichick disciples fail as head coaches because they try to act like Bill without having his experience
It's hard to go in and and and try to be Bill Belichick without being Bill Belichick. You know you can't just go in and demand the respect and put like this crazy work schedule... you can't just go and try to copy what he does. It's not going to be you. A lot of these guys, they go in, they try to be a hard dick or they try to be this... I don't think you can just go and demand a team like you're Bill Belichick, unless you're Bill Belichick.
A Billy Football Announcement
To wrap up the show, Big Cat and PFT addressed the Billy Football situation. After coming in a little too hot on Sunday and realizing he had some senior year responsibilities to attend to, Billy is going on a bit of a "Rumspringa." He'll be away for a month and a half to finish his degree and get the college life out of his system before returning full-time in June. We’re sending our son off to graduate, hopefully without any more frog-related incidents.
Just because he's leaving doesn't mean the takes have stopped, as Billy left us with a prehistoric bombshell about dinosaur fitness.
Billy FootballT-Rexes were actually capable of doing push-ups to get off the ground
T-Rexes could actually do push-ups with their arms. They actually would get up using this [motion].
Good luck on finals, Billy, don't forget to wash your dishes before you pee in the sink.
