Lane Johnson, TJ Watt, and Jersey Jerry on Super Bowl 57 Preview
Super Bowl 57 is finally here, and the energy in Arizona is reaching a fever pitch. But before we could even get to the kickoff, the NBA trade deadline tried its absolute best to hijack the week. Kevin Durant is officially a Phoenix Sun, and while the move shook the sports world, PFT already has his eyes on the Larry O'Brien trophy heading to the desert.
PFT CommenterThe Phoenix Suns have already clinched the 2023 NBA Championship thanks to Kevin Durant
I think we'd be remiss though if we didn't start out the show by congratulating Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns for winning the 2023 NBA Championship. Congratulations. Yes. Yes. It's his year... I feel like this has gotta be his year. There's no way that they lose.
Big Cat isn't quite as sold on the new-look Suns, pointing out that depth and health might be the ultimate undoing for a team relying so heavily on aging stars.
Big CatThe Phoenix Suns' lacks the depth and health to win the 2023 NBA Championship
Wait, so the suns are really good right now. They traded away some really good players. So their bench players are, you know, their bench is not great and they're gonna rely on a 35 year old guy who's been injured a lot since his Achilles and Chris Paul in the playoffs. I don't see where this goes wrong. [Sarcastic]
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have officially entered the history books for all the wrong reasons. After the KD and Kyrie Irving departures, PFT is ready to call it like it is regarding the failed experiment in New York.
PFT CommenterThe 2023 Brooklyn Nets are the biggest bust of any 'dream team' ever
I, I would like to congratulate The Nets though. On, on assembling the biggest bust of any dream team ever. Yeah. I think this, you know, cool Throne twice that, that Eagles team where Vince Young came out and said, we're the dream team right now. That's usually the kiss of death. The, the Nets have now done it twice and somehow they managed to surpass their last big blowup.
Super Bowl 57 Preview and Prop Bets
Transitioning to the big game, the vibes are high but the nerves are higher, especially for Max. Big Cat is wrestling with the reality of Patrick Mahomes being an underdog, a concept that seems more ridiculous the longer you think about it.
Big CatIt's terrifying that Patrick Mahomes is an underdog in Super Bowl 57
Is there a world in five years time where we're sitting at a bar and we're saying the sentence, 'Remember when Patrick Mahomes was an underdog to Jalen Hertz in the Super Bowl? That was fucking stupid.'... It's not a debate. It's a fact [that he is the best QB]. And that is what scares me the most about Sunday.
Despite the fear of Mahomes, the consensus is leaning toward Philadelphia. PFT is locking in a specific margin for the Birds, while Jake is sticking to his guns with a Chiefs victory.
PFT CommenterThe Philadelphia Eagles will win Super Bowl 57 by six points
I got birds by six.
Jake MarshThe Kansas City Chiefs will beat the Philadelphia Eagles 32-26
I wanna pick the Chiefs... 32-26.
When it comes to the prop board, the picks are getting creative. PFT is putting his bankroll on the line for a clean game with no kicks hitting the uprights. Hank, ever the seeker of value, is looking for a rare scoring feat that the betting world has dubbed the "Octopus."
PFT CommenterThere will be zero 'doinks' (hitting the uprights) on any field goal or extra point in the Super Bowl
No doinks, I'm taking no doinks. The field goal on an [upright] and extra point. If there's a doink, it pays out... I'm no doinks so I'm loading up and I think it's minus five 40... it's a terrible bet but I love it.
HankA player will record an 'Octopus' (scoring a TD and the following 2-point conversion) in the Super Bowl
I also like this one... there to be an octopus. Yes. Plus 1150. I'm going, yes. An octopus is a player scoring a touchdown and then scoring the next play, two point conversion.
Big Cat is eyeing the quarterback health situation and betting on a little trickery, taking the over on total players to attempt a pass. He’s convinced we’re seeing a non-QB throw the ball at least once on Sunday.
Big CatTotal players to attempt a pass in the Super Bowl will be over 2.5
Total players to attempt a pass over two and a half plus one 30. Yeah. And you have the added bonus this year of both quarterbacks being a little dinged up. So that, I mean there's gotta be a trick play.
Lane Johnson on the Eagles' Run
Eagles All-Pro Right Tackle Lane Johnson joined the show to talk about playing through a torn adductor and the mindset of this Philly team. Interestingly, Lane gave some love to a divisional rival for helping the Eagles find their edge during the regular season.
Lane JohnsonThe Washington Commanders deserve partial credit for the Eagles making the Super Bowl
I feel like after that game [loss to the Commanders], I feel like that got our attention back somewhat refocus us... [PFT: partial credit for the Super Bowl should go to the Washington Commanders?] Pretty much. Yeah. I'll take lighten the fire. Be in the catalyst.
Lane also touched on his future in the league. Despite the grueling nature of the position and the injuries he's battling, he isn't planning on hanging up the cleats just yet, though the finish line is in sight.
Lane JohnsonI will play two more years of football before retiring
I keep telling people like two more years... I don't want to like fade away like, and start declining and just keep, I don't wanna steal money... two years I'm good.
TJ Watt and the Jersey Jerry Experience
In what might be one of the most unique segments in PMT history, Steelers superstar TJ Watt sat down for an interview led by his number one fan, Jersey Jerry. It was a rollercoaster of emotions that included Jerry apologizing for DMing TJ's wife and a high-stakes fragrance testing session. Through it all, TJ made it clear that his heart belongs solely to the City of Bridges.
"I hope I never have to [wear another uniform]."
To wrap things up, the crew shared their Fyre Fests of the week. Hank's week was highlighted by a culinary awakening involving fried lobster, though it was quickly overshadowed by the shame of accidentally ditching a massive group dinner bill.
HankFried lobster is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten
I had fried lobster for the first time in my life. That's all I've been thinking about. It was the most delicious thing I've ever ate.
It's time to find out if the Eagles are actually a team of destiny or if we're all just overthinking the greatness of Patrick Mahomes.
