Leonard Fournette on Playoff Lenny, Stafford Trade, and Patrick Reed
Super Bowl week is officially here, and even though we're not in Tampa, the energy is through the roof. Big Cat and PFT started things off by processing the absolute blockbuster trade that sent Matthew Stafford to the LA Rams in exchange for Jared Goff and a massive haul of picks. It’s a classic Sean McVay move, showing the rest of the league that he simply does not value first-round draft picks the way everyone else does.
Big CatThe Rams must win a Super Bowl in the next two years before their seven-year lack of first-round picks catches up to them
The Rams' window feels like it's pretty small here, and they have to kind of win a Super Bowl in the next two years before the fact that they haven't had a first-round draft pick in seven years is going to catch up.
While the Rams are going all-in, the Lions are finally embracing a total rebuild. Getting a bridge quarterback like Goff who can keep them competitive while stacking up four first-round picks over the next two years is a massive win for Detroit’s front office.
Big CatThe Matthew Stafford trade is a home run for the Detroit Lions
The Lions' perspective from this, it was a home run for them in the fact that they are trying to fully rebuild now instead of half rebuild... I think it's a home run for the Lions. I think they did the right thing.
PFT pointed out that this might actually be a savvy way to build a roster. Instead of gambling on the draft, you let other teams do the hard work of developing talent before you swoop in and trade for the finished product.
PFT CommenterIt is better for a team to let another team develop a player and then trade for them once you know they are good
As a lazy person i kind of respect it because it's like let somebody else develop the guy and then once you know if they're good or not then yeah that's actually probably worth more like giving up a higher pick in the future for someone that you know for a fact is already good.
The Legend of Patrick Reed
Golf’s premier villain, Patrick Reed, found himself in the middle of another rules controversy this weekend. While the rest of the golf world was busy being outraged, Big Cat and PFT were leaning into it. Every sport needs someone to root against, and Reed plays the role of the gaslighting scumbag better than anyone in history.
Big CatPatrick Reed is objectively good for the sport of golf because he's a villain
If you're a golf fan and you're so angry at Patrick Reed that you want him out of golf, you have to question whether you're a golf fan. Because guys who get this type of reaction on a Saturday afternoon in January on a tournament... That's good for golf.
The situation got even better when an alleged burner account, @UseGolfFacts, was linked to Reed’s wife, Justine. The account has been tirelessly defending Reed’s honor, which PFT found hilarious considering how little effort the rest of the tour puts into stopping his antics.
PFT CommenterI blame the other PGA Tour players for not physically assaulting Patrick Reed to stop him from cheating
I don't blame Patrick Reed anymore for cheating and getting away with it. I blame everybody else on the tour for not doing anything to make him stop, like physically assaulting him.
Who's Back and Birthday Kidney Stones
It was a big week for the hosts as both Big Cat and PFT celebrated birthdays. Unfortunately for Big Cat, turning 36 came with a very specific, painful gift from his own body. After trying to stay healthy by crushing Airborne tablets during a week of travel, he learned a hard lesson about vitamin C overdose.
Big CatPassively taking five Airborne tablets a day is likely what caused my kidney stone
So I overdosed on vitamin C, apparently taking like four to five tablets of Airborne every single day for a week because we were traveling last week... and Saturday morning, just pissed out a little pebble.
Hank brought Jizz Horncamp to the table for Who's Back after the German soccer player exploded for four goals. The guys spent a significant amount of time debating whether the name translates the same way in Germany and analyzing the plot of the various American Pie sequels.
Playoff Lenny Joins the Show
Fresh off an NFC Championship win, Leonard Fournette joined the show to talk about his transformation into "Playoff Lenny." He admitted he used to hate the nickname Lenny when his uncle called him that as a kid, but he’s fully embraced the postseason version of himself. He’s found a new gear in Tampa, proving that some players are just built for the brightest lights.
Leonard FournettePlayoffs are where sports legends are made
In the beginning of the playoffs, I say playoffs where ledgers [legends] are made. You know what I mean? So I've been in a situation before in Jacksonville where you can earn a great reputation in the playoffs.
Leonard Fournette didn't hold back when talking about his history with the Patriots, specifically the 2017 AFC Championship game. He jokingly told Tom Brady to his face that the Patriots are cheaters for how that game ended in Jacksonville.
Leonard FournetteThe Patriots cheated the Jaguars in the 2017 AFC Championship game
I'm like, Tom, you a fucking cheater. You a cheater... I said, I know what happened. Y'all cheated us.
We also got some great insight into the Bucs' locker room, including Devin White's "country strength" and the gelling of the offense under Brady. Leonard Fournette even took a moment to reflect on his draft class, noting that while the media focuses on him or Mitch Trubisky, there are other players who deserve the bust label more.
Big CatSolomon Thomas is the real biggest bust of the 2017 NFL Draft, not Mitch Trubisky
I'm a Bears fan where I wanted people to start talking about Leonard Fournette as the biggest bust from that draft, not Mitch Trubisky... [but] Solomon Thomas is the bust of that track [draft].
Fight Week is Here
To wrap things up, Billy Football is officially in fight week ahead of his bout with Jose Canseco. Billy is reaching peak "weapon" status, sharing stories about Jose’s history of skipping charity events for kids to fuel his motivation. He’s not just boxing for himself; he’s boxing for the honor of every fan Jose has ever let down.
Billy FootballI am an absolute weapon and I'm going to give 180 seconds of hell to Jose Canseco
I'm fucking gonna go balls to the wall... I'm an absolute weapon... I can get hit. I can look like I'm about to die when I'm a zombie. Keep coming.
Billy also provided some classic Football Guy of the Week nominations, including Aaron Rodgers riding in the back of a truck and D3 powerhouse players winning the Senior Bowl with broken hands. If Billy fights with half the intensity he uses to describe "power bellies," Jose is in for a very long night.
Billy FootballDriving a car in full pads is a total football guy move
You're in full pads driving a car. Full pads driving a car. Wearing your helmet while driving your truck. Total football move.
Good luck to Billy in West Virginia, and let's get after it for Super Bowl Sunday.
