Katie Nolan on Fox Sports, Regis Philbin, and Fish Fighting
All your heroes are hurt. Big Cat opened the show by addressing the grit-related carnage currently plaguing the sports world. PFT is limping around with a broken metatarsal after a drunk walking incident that he initially tried to hide. He claimed it happened stepping off a curb, but Big Cat wasn't buying the tough guy routine, especially with the hospital bracelet still on.
PFT CommenterA sprain is worse than a break
Sprains worse than a break. People forget that.
The bigger news is Captain America himself, J.J. Watt, re-injuring his back and likely missing the season. PFT has a theory that it might be footwear-related, considering he was wearing Watt's signature shoes when his own foot snapped.
PFT CommenterMy J.J. Watt shoes caused my broken foot and J.J. Watt's back injury
My big takeaway, and I'm just connecting dots here, I was wearing J.J. Watt's shoes. J.J. Watt was wearing J.J. Watt's shoes. I'm not saying. I'm just saying.
Big Cat thinks this is actually the ideal scenario for J.J. Watt, as it allows him to enter his true final form: the comeback montage king.
Big CatJ.J. Watt's Super Bowl is having 10 months to post Instagram comeback videos
Bad news, you're out for the season. Good news, you now have 10 months to post Instagram comeback videos. Yeah, how many squats and box jumps can he fit into 10 months? Which, when you think about it, is J.J. Watt's Super Bowl. If J.J. Watt had the choice, win a Super Bowl or get 10 months to talk about making a comeback... I think he's going that way.
Power Rankings and Hot Seat/Cool Throne
With Mount Rushmore season in the rearview, the guys pivoted to Power Ranking bar drink orders. Hank went full 23-year-old with his list, while PFT championed the most American beverage available.
PFT CommenterDrinking a Budweiser (Bud Heavy) bottle at a bar is a badass move
Budweiser. Bottle. It's actually America. That's just a badass move. If you see a guy drinking a Budweiser, you're like, okay, this guy fucks.
Big Cat warned against the hidden dangers of craft beer, specifically the hormonal side effects of too many hops.
Big CatIPAs create man boobs
Fun fact, IPAs create man boobs, and that's why I'm going to get breast cancer someday.
On Hot Seat Cool Throne, PFT checked in on the ever-shifting status of Joe Paterno's legacy at Penn State, suggesting a more fluid approach to counting wins. Meanwhile, Big Cat is looking ahead to the inevitable cycle of Lane Kiffin's coaching career.
Big CatLane Kiffin will get a head coaching job and be fired within a year
My hot seat is going to be Lane Kiffin. He's probably going to get a head coaching job after this year. It seems about time. And that immediately puts him back on the hot seat because he'll get fired within a year.
Katie Nolan Joins the Show
Fox Sports 1's Katie Nolan finally made her way into the studio to talk about the grind of producing Garbage Time and her complicated history with Barstool. The guys wasted no time getting to the hard-hitting questions, specifically her thoughts on the Patriots hierarchy.
Katie NolanBill Belichick is more important to the Patriots than Tom Brady
Who is more important to the Patriots, Belichick or Brady? Belichick.
Katie shared the tragic news of her fish, Jermichael Finley, passing away. It turns out he wasn't just a pet; he was a literal champion from a fish-fighting ring she encountered at a New Hampshire wedding. The guys offered to give her PFT's gambling fish, but only when it starts losing. They also touched on her time working with the legendary Regis Philbin, though they have some concerns about his current status.
Big CatRegis Philbin might be dead and his wife Joy is catfishing America by responding to his emails
Regis Philbin... Might be dead... [PFT Commenter] Oh, is Joy, is she catfishing America right now with Regis? Is she playing like a weekend at Bernie's?
She also offered a very pragmatic view on the behavior of the elderly in the workplace, which seems to be the industry standard for broadcasting legends.
Katie NolanYou can't blame old people for things like forgetting people, pooping their pants, or being racist
You know, there's things you can't blame old people for. Forgetting people. Pooping their pants. Sexism. Racism. Touches of racism. You sort of have to just go, okay.
Uhhh Ya Think and The Debut of Just Desserts
In a quick Uhhh Ya Think, the guys reacted to rumors that LSU might pursue a certain coach from Alabama to replace Les Miles. Big Cat isn't holding his breath.
Big CatLSU will go after Nick Saban to replace Les Miles
One name that's floating around that LSU is allegedly going to go after, Nick Saban. LSU wants Nick Saban to coach their football team.
They also discussed Greg Hardy’s recent arrest and his unique defense for why cocaine ended up in his wallet. PFT thinks the NFL as a whole is actually better when the Cowboys are living a little more dangerously.
PFT CommenterThe NFL is a better place when the Dallas Cowboys are using cocaine
I think if you're a Dallas Cowboy, you should be allowed to do cocaine. I think that's one of the rules. The NFL is a better place when the Dallas Cowboys are using cocaine.
The show wrapped with the debut of a new segment to help out the struggling Robert Griffin III. Since he's having a rough go in Cleveland, Big Cat and PFT purchased 400 fortune cookies to tweet at him daily for inspiration. Big Cat committed to eating every single cookie for the sake of the bit, proving once again that he is a man of the people.
Stay woke on the Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy injury connection.
