Taylor Decker on Lions' Resurgence, Will Levis Hand Size, and Mike Leach
The vibes in the studio were heavy following the tragic passing of Mike Leach. Big Cat and PFT spent time reflecting on the Pirate’s incredible impact on the game, noting how his coaching tree has basically taken over college football. To honor his legacy as the ultimate one-of-one character, the guys made a move to ensure his name stays attached to the show’s highest honor forever.
The 'Football Guy of the Year' award should be renamed the 'Mike Leach Football Guy of the Year' award
I think we should actually rename the Football Guy of the Year award for [Mike Leach] because they, that's, that's hot in the streets right now. The NBA just renamed all their awards. Yeah. So Motion to rename Football Guy of the Year Award to the Mike Leach Football Guy of the Year award.
Before getting into the guests, the guys broke down the Patriots' recent defensive dominance and the absolute state of the offense under Joe Judge and Matt Patricia. While the product is often hard to watch, there is a growing sense that Bill Belichick might be pulling off his most impressive trick yet by keeping this unit in the playoff hunt despite the lack of traditional coaching support for Mac Jones.
Mac Jones is a victim of coaching malpractice by Joe Judge and Matt Patricia
Mac Jones again, I think that Mac Jones like has a full on case for QB malpractice to have Joe Judge and Matt Patricia—those two dumb fucks—being his OC. I would be pissed if I were him.
Bill Belichick is doing the best coaching job of his career in 2022
Is this Bill Belichick's best coaching job? It might be his best coaching job of his career. He is trying to play the NFL on progressively harder and harder levels... can I get this team to the playoffs with a combination of Joe Judge and Matt Patricia as my offensive coordinator?
Looking ahead to the weekend, Big Cat is already sharpening his blades for the Dolphins. After seeing Miami using heaters on the sidelines during a 55-degree game in LA, he is officially calling them out before they head into the Buffalo snow.
The Dolphins are a 'candy ass' team because they used heaters in 55-degree weather
I'm going to guess that's not great for them having to go to Buffalo on Saturday night. You shouldn't smoke during NFL games... I would say that that's the sign of a candy ass team heaters for 55 degree weather. And just so we remind everyone when the dolphins are like decent and they go to a cold weather city at the end of the season, there are no, there is no uniform combo that is more candy ass than what they have.
Lions left tackle Taylor Decker joined the show to discuss why Detroit is suddenly the scariest team in the NFC. Decker, the longest-tenured Lion, talked about the culture shift under Dan Campbell and why Jared Goff is suddenly playing like a man possessed. He also dropped an absolute bombshell about his 2020 season that makes him a first-ballot Hall of Famer in the eyes of the show.
The Detroit Lions are legitimately rolling and aren't the 'Same Old Lions' anymore
I would say right now, yeah man. I mean we're, we are rolling right now. We got that little lightning in a bottle and man, I said it a couple weeks ago after the Thanksgiving loss actually. They're like, man, this isn't the same old team right now. And my, my DMs got lit up about that. People were sick about me saying that. They're like, oh, you're full of shit. You don't know. But I'm like, man, like we're, we're different man. We're rolling.
I played an entire month of the 2020 season with appendicitis and didn't tell anyone
I woke up in the middle of the night sweating, shivering, my stomach hurts so bad... I can't tell anybody about this. I just signed a contract extension, like I have to play... Played in the game on Sunday and then I told the team Wednesday... they're like, oh yeah, you have appendicitis. Like you, you've had it for a week... I basically had appendicitis for the first month of the season and the antibiotics made it go away.
Kentucky quarterback and future first-round pick Will Levis stopped by the studio for a special in-person edition of "One Question with a Quarterback." Levis, a noted AWL, didn't hold back on his former home in State College while praising the food scene in Lexington. The highlight of the appearance, however, was a live measurement of his hands to settle the draft-season debates before they even start.
Lexington, Kentucky has a much better food scene than State College, Pennsylvania
I came from Penn State, which quite frankly does not have any good food. And that was a big kind of knock on it. And coming to Kentucky was a change of pace... Malones and Jeff Rubies can't go wrong with either of those Steakhouses. Big fan of Carson's downtown... for breakfast, you gotta go to Josie's.
My hand size is between 10.25 and 10.5 inches
I, I do, I do know I have big hands. I think it's anywhere between 10 and a quarter and 10 and a half... [PFT measures]: 10 and a half. They're huge. Whoa. They're huge.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne featured a massive fire at the NYPD evidence locker, which PFT noted is a huge win for criminals everywhere, and a legendary "Wild Meter" story from Jake Marsh regarding LeBron and Bronny James that legitimately felt like a glitch in the simulation. We also learned that Max has a habitual problem with keeping his hands in his pants, which he claims is just more comfortable.
Sam Bankman-Fried was exposed as the biggest dork alive after his arrest
It's the fact that like to the regular world, I count myself in that where I'm not really into crypto. He just got exposed as being the biggest dork alive. Like I saw a picture of him and I heard his voice and I was like, this guy's a fucking dork.
Hank joined via Zoom while battling a fever to continue his quest for the elusive lottery ball, and despite his confidence that he was "due," the machine proved once again that it has no soul.
