Max Homa on Masters Prep, Aaron Rodgers' Cave, and NBA Finals Picks
Aaron Rodgers has officially emerged from his darkness retreat, and he did it in record time. While he was scheduled for four days of isolation, he tapped out after two, apparently figuring out his entire future in just 48 hours. Big Cat and PFT broke down the "Sky Cave" logistics, which sounded less like a spiritual journey and more like a 300-square-foot Manhattan hotel room with zero windows. Despite the shortened stay, Big Cat is convinced the quest for more MVPs isn't over yet.
Big CatAaron Rodgers will definitely continue playing football
Trying to figure out if he wants to keep playing football. Spoil alert he will. Yep. Wants to continue playing. Probably win an MVP.
Big CatAaron Rodgers will be phenomenal next season and probably win an MVP
I'm fully prepared for him to go back to the Packers and win an MVP. Yeah. Because it feels like this is just the cycle that we're in. And he's probably gonna be phenomenal next year.
After clearing the air on some factual errors regarding the Alabama basketball situation, the conversation shifted to the hardwood and the upcoming NBA home stretch. The guys handed out their official NBA Finals picks, with Hank and Big Cat leaning heavily into the Suns-Celtics matchup, while PFT stayed loyal to his Nuggets.
HankNBA Finals Prediction: Celtics over Suns
Celtics Suns. [PFT]: I'm gonna say Sons win. [Big Cat]: All right. Celtics sons.
PFT CommenterNBA Finals Prediction: Nuggets over Bucks
If it's not the suns, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna stick with my nuggets. My nuggets over Hank's Celtics... Nuggets over the bucks.
Max Homa in the Building
Max Homa finally joined the show in person, sporting a "Positive Vibes Only" hat and ready to defend his status as the best golfer over the last 25 months. He opened up about his relationship with Tiger Woods, specifically how he's trying to get comfortable enough to stop laughing at every one of Tiger's jokes just because he's Tiger. Max also addressed the Lakers' struggles, admitting that even a Kyrie Irving trade wouldn't have been the magic fix the franchise needed.
Max HomaKyrie Irving would not have fixed the Lakers because they aren't just one piece away
Was [Kyrie] gonna fucking fix us? I don't think we're one piece away here. So no it wasn't super devastating.
Max went deep on his mental evolution, discussing how he's worked with a sports psychologist to embrace "winning ugly." He admitted that early in his career, he suffered from major imposter syndrome, but he's learned that you don't have to be perfect in every facet of the game to be a champion.
Max HomaLearning to 'win ugly' when my game feels terrible is the key to my success
What I've worked on with my sports psychologist... for the last couple months is like we've been talking about winning ugly. Like I'm looking at it as exciting to, for a day where my shit feels terrible and I can still be like, 'All right, I'm still beating your ass.'
Max HomaIf I play my best golf, I can win the Masters
[PFT]: You would say that at your best... you could win at Augusta? [Max Homa]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hell yeah.
Mock Draft Season and Fyre Fest
The NFL Draft talk is heating up as Anthony Richardson continues to climb boards. Hank is all-in on the Richardson hype train, having placed an 80-to-1 bet on him to go first overall, though Big Cat and PFT remain skeptical of the Florida quarterback's college production.
Big CatI don't believe in Power 5 QBs who were average in college becoming incredible NFL players
Show me a quarterback who played at Power five, who was average, who then ended up having an incredible career. And I'm not saying like, the reason why I say incredible is if you're the number one pick, you should have like, you're projected to have a very good NFL career. And so that's like, if it, if we're talking about the 20th pick, that's different.
HankAnthony Richardson will be the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft
I'm all the way back in on Anthony Richardson... he also knows I love value... Anthony Richardson +10,000 or whatever, 100 to 1 to go number one... I'm reading all the articles, trying to just will him to somehow become the number one overall pick.
Fyre Fest of the week featured the legendary Doogs, who was tasked with handling Billy Football during a PLL event in DC. Between Billy losing multiple beer-chugging contests to fans and trying to convince everyone that "Sixes" is the future of the sport, it was a busy weekend. PFT also revealed his upcoming terror: he's been roped into flying in an F-18 fighter jet before a NASCAR race.
PFT CommenterI could definitely hit the waypoints if given the controls of an F-18 fighter jet
I'm deathly terrified of doing this... [but] I do think that if they gave me the controls, I'd be able to at least like hit the waypoints and shit.
Billy FootballThe new PLL Sixes format is the best lacrosse product and will replace regular rules
I think the new, the new PLL championship series six is, is actually I think like the best lacrosse product I've ever seen. Like I think it's gonna replace regular, the regular rules. I think this is how the game is gonna be played in the future. It's the best lacrosse product you can put out.
We wrapped up with the realization that Big Cat actually hates being on vacation, mostly because it makes him feel soft compared to the daily grind of the show.
Big CatVacations are for suckers and losers
Full stop. Fucking work hard. Hank vacation. Boy, you're soft bitch. All these vacations you're taking. I didn't even like doing it. I wanted to be working with the boys... vacations for suckers and losers.
If you see Max Homa on the course this weekend, just remember to scream "pervert" as a sign of respect.
