Mike Florio And Big Cat's Diet Started Today*
We're back from a week off too much beer, food, and football. Recapping an unbelievable Rose Bowl and Bama kicking the shit out of Clemson (-). Week 17 in the NFL was wild and the Bills are back in the playoffs for this first time in almost 20 years. Brown suck, Joe Flacco might suck, and Mark Davis is going to hire Jon Gruden because he wants a best friend.(-) Who's Back of the Week, Big Cat's diet, The Big 10, and the Winter Classic (-). Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio joins the show to talk about all the NFL firings and what coaching vacancy is the most coveted. He also updates us on his terrible Fantasy Season (-). Segments include Kings Stay Kings Gronk ended the season with 69 catches, Lane Kiffin texts Saban's wife, and Skip Bayless remains the king of bad takes (-). Not to brag but we called it, Sabermetrics for Jimmy Graham being a unicorn according the Russell Wilson (-) and Embrace Debate, what year is it now (-). *Alleged Diet, because Hank and PFT think theres no chance he actually sticks to any type of diet whatsoever.
Recap
Big CatA scorned Nick Saban is the scariest thing in sports
One game was exciting beyond belief... And then you basically watch Alabama do the old cement mixer on Clemson and just kick the shit out of them for 60 minutes. And proved our theory that a scorned Nick Saban and upset Nick Saban is the scariest thing in sports.
PFT CommenterUCF is the number one team and national champions
I've got UCF number one. Number one, national champions. The program that Blake Bortles built. Undefeated.
PFT CommenterJoe Flacco honestly sucks
Joe Flacco sucks. Yeah, he's not good. Honestly, he sucks. Yes, he hasn't been good. I was just hoping for Danny [Woodhead]... and your hair.
Big CatThe Bills will probably lose to the Jaguars in the wildcard round
The Bills are probably going to lose to the Jaguars, especially without Shady [LeSean McCoy]. But it's almost like the way that they broke the drought, if they had just broken it by being 12-4... it wouldn't have been that exciting.
PFT CommenterThe Seahawks championship window is closed
I define the window off their defense, not off Russell Wilson. And I think their defense is closed. I think they're going to lose a lot of guys.
PFT CommenterThe Seahawks will hire Mike Pettine as their defensive coordinator
I'm thinking that they're going to bring Mike Pettine in. I'm just going to call it right now. The old coach of the Cleveland Browns because he's got a bald head and he's got a goatee and he's a defense guy.
Who Is Back
Big CatI will lose 15 pounds and weigh 225 by my birthday
I think I weigh about 240-ish... and I'm going to try to get to like 225 by my birthday. [February]. First, like, seven pounds come off by just me, like, not eating breakfast. So take a big dump, don't eat breakfast, boom.
Interview
Mike FlorioJon Gruden will be the next head coach of the Oakland Raiders
He's going to be the coach of the Raiders. They fired Del Rio knowing that they were getting him, and now it's just a question of working it all out. All signs are pointing to Gruden.
Mike FlorioMatt Patricia's clown-nosed Goodell shirt may keep him from a head coaching job
He wore that clown nose shirt coming off the plane, and it pissed off the commissioner. And as of July, the commissioner was still pissed... I could see an effort by 345 Park Avenue to steer the Lions away from Patricia... That clown-nosed shirt may keep Matt Patricia at New England for years to come.
Mike FlorioDeshaun Watson was more dominant in the NFL than he was in college
Look at what Deshaun Watson did. Deshaun Watson was more dominant at the NFL level than he was at the college level. Nobody expected that.
