Justin Fields on Being a Bear for Life, SodGate, and Life Without Football
The first show after the Super Bowl is always a bit of a grieving process. Big Cat and PFT Commenter are back in the abyss, trying to figure out how to navigate a world where they aren't spending eighteen hours a day watching film or checking injury reports. The immediate fallout involves a complete dismissal of the calendar, specifically the fact that Valentine's Day fell directly on the Monday after the Super Bowl.
PFT CommenterValentine's Day didn't actually happen this year because it was the day after the Super Bowl
Go fuck yourself for putting Valentine's Day the day after the Super Bowl. That snuck up on everyone. Everyone had any idea that so if you got in trouble for forgetting Valentine's Day, just tell your significant other, literally everybody forgot about it. It didn't happen this year, basically.
PFT is leading the charge on a better way to structure the year, suggesting that we move the romantic holiday to a time when it won't be overshadowed by the Lombardi Trophy presentation.
PFT CommenterValentine's Day should be moved to the NFL bye week before the Super Bowl
The Sunday of the bye week actually should be Valentine's Day. It should, we should stop making it February 14th. It should just be whatever that bye week is before the Super Bowl when there's no football on TV for everybody to be distracted by.
SodGate and the Great Kansas City Conspiracy
While the Chiefs are celebrating, the Eagles are slipping, literally. Big Cat has gone deep into the rabbit hole of "SodGate," investigating why the field at State Farm Stadium was a skating rink for one side but not the other. The primary suspect is George Toma, the legendary 94-year-old "Sod Father," who happens to have deep ties to Kansas City.
Big CatThe 'Sod Father' George Toma intentionally sabotaged the Super Bowl field to favor the Kansas City Chiefs
George Toma, the sod father... He worked for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has two Super Bowl rings. He's a Kansas City resident. He's a Kansas City Chiefs fan. ... Before the game, he actually said... 'I'm sticking up for the Chiefs today. Me and Lamar Hunt were so close.' ... The sad father just cemented his own dynasty. ... He's got his favorites and he plays them.
Max is in full coping mode, digging through screenshots of uncalled face masks and field conditions to justify the loss. Big Cat even floated the idea that the NFL used social justice messaging in the end zones as a distraction for the poor turf quality.
Big CatThe endzone slogan change from 'End Racism' to 'It Takes All Of Us' was a false flag for the poor field quality
I'm actually gonna throw this in the conspiracy file. I think that they were did that on purpose to hopefully be a false flag for the shitty field in George Toma, three times Kansas City Chief Super Bowl winner. But they got found out early enough that they had to switch it.
Justin Fields Joins the Show
Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields stopped by to talk about his record-breaking season and the future of the franchise. Big Cat, acting as a totally objective journalist and not a biased fan, made sure to let Justin know he's loved. Fields cleared the air on everything from his vegan diet to his desire to see a dome in Chicago.
Justin FieldsI hope the Bears get a stadium with a dome
It is very difficult to adjust to it [the cold], especially with the wind. ... I hope we just get a dome. I don't, I don't care if we're at Soldier Field, I don't care if we're in Arlington Heights. I, I I hope we get a dome on those.
Naturally, the conversation turned to the NFL Draft and whether the Bears should stick with their guy. Fields didn't blink, giving a definitive answer that should make every fan in the 312 area code sleep a little easier.
Justin FieldsI will be a Chicago Bear for life
I'm a bear for life. Bear for life. Okay. There we go. Bear for life.
He also gave his scouting report on who the Bears should target with their abundance of picks, specifically a former teammate from Ohio State.
Justin FieldsI want the Bears to draft Jackson Smith-Njigba
I'm going with my man, Jackson Smith-Njigba. You know, I've seen, I've seen him in action, I've seen how he can separate himself like that and you know, his just body control is, is crazy. ... One guy that I would love to have is Jackson Smith-Njigba.
Before letting him go, the guys had to address the "visor curse." It’s a scientific fact on this show that if you want to win the big one, you might have to sacrifice the swag.
Big CatNo quarterback wearing a visor has ever won a Super Bowl
We've got a, a theory on this show. Well, it's not really theory, scientific fact that no quarterback that's wearing a visor has ever won a Super Bowl... mostly it's a swag. Yeah, right. Exactly... So if the Eagles do lose, maybe we think about getting rid of the [visor].
Post-Football Resolutions and Hot Seat/Cool Throne
With football in the rearview, everyone is picking up new hobbies. PFT is planning a secret athletic feat that he won't tell anyone about, even though he just told hundreds of thousands of listeners about it.
PFT CommenterI am going to run a marathon this year and not tell a single soul about it
I'm gonna run a marathon at some point... but not tell anybody. So you're never gonna know when I do it. I'm gonna be the first person in the history of the world to run a marathon and not tell anyone about it. And not talk about it at all. Except for right now, which I'm doing in advance.
Big Cat is going back to his roots by getting into the weight room, though the injury potential seems high.
Big CatI am going to get back into Olympic weightlifting this off-season
Not this is my big one and I think people are gonna laugh at it. But I'm gonna try to get back into Olympic weightlifting. I did it when I was in my twenties. I'm gonna start doing all the fucking weightlifting... cleans and jerks, snatches. Everything.
In Hot Seat/Cool Throne, the guys discussed the Eric Bieniemy situation. While most people are confused as to why the Chiefs OC doesn't have a head coaching job yet, Big Cat has a theory that it might be a strategic move to stay in the best situation in football.
Big CatEric Bieniemy might be bombing head coaching interviews on purpose to stay with the Chiefs
I think he's bombing him on purpose. I really do. Because I think that being the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs is better than being the head coach of like 20 franchises. So he's like, yeah, I'll just go through the motions bomb this interview, and then I'll get to go be the offensive coordinator of Patrick Mahomes and, and keep piling up Super Bowl wings rings.
Finally, the show wrapped with Guys on Chicks, where Big Cat admitted to some questionable hygiene habits that left Jake horrified, and Billy offered a psychological breakdown of why some men wear bathing suits in their own bathtubs.
Billy FootballA man who wears a bathing suit in a jetted bathtub is doing so to prevent himself from trying to fuck the jets
He definitely fucked the jets once and then realized he could never do it again. So he just wears the suit to make sure he doesn't do it. ... He's scared of himself. He definitely fucked the jets once and then realized he could never do it again. So he just wears the suit to make sure he doesn't do it.
Now we just have to survive until the NFL Combine.
