Jordan Love on the Packers, NFL Draft Recap, and Dungeons & Dragons
Sports are finally back, or at least the NFL Draft is, and it felt incredible to have something new to watch. The virtual setup gave us an unprecedented look into the homes of the league's power brokers, from Kliff Kingsbury’s "Crazy Stupid Love" bachelor pad to Jerry Jones appearing to run the Cowboys from a super-villain yacht. While most setups were standard, Mike Vrabel decided to host a fever dream featuring a mix of Joe Dirt and a guy potentially using a barstool as a toilet.
Mike Vrabel won the night for best NFL Draft home setup.
Mike Vrabel clearly won the night in his room. He had a guy that looked like a mix between the Waterboy Adam Sandler and Joe Dirt. The other was taking a shit. I believe he's sitting on a Barstool intentionally looking like he's making sure in my professional opinion.
Big Cat and PFT were mostly impressed by the picks, specifically the Dolphins not overthinking it and grabbing Tua Tagovailoa. Despite the pre-draft smoke about Justin Herbert rising up boards, Big Cat remains steadfast that the talent gap between the two is enormous.
The gap between Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert is massive.
The smoke of Justin Herbert jumping Tua [Tagovailoa] was making me so mad because Tua is so much better than Justin Herbert. No offense, Justin Herbert. He might end up being good but Tua is control good and the gap between Joe Burrow and Tua is miniscule. The gap between Tua and Justin Herbert is massive.
The real star of the night, for all the wrong reasons, was Roger Goodell. The Commissioner spent the evening looking increasingly disheveled, struggling with basic pronunciations, and aggressively trying to hug his television screen. PFT has a theory that the new CBA's changes to the substance abuse policy have left a void in Goodell's personal life.
Roger Goodell was definitely drunk during the first night of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Let's talk about Goodell for a second. Is he okay? Because no, he was drunk. How is he that bad at talking in his living room when all you had to do was like two lines every 10 minutes? He was sluggish, he was not pronouncing words correctly, he was turning red in the face. He changed outfits to get more comfortable halfway through. He tried to hug Caesar Ruiz through his television. He saw a big dude getting drafted and was like 'this is the guy I gotta give the bro hug to.'
Roger Goodell is depressed because the new CBA took away his hobby of collecting urine samples.
I think Roger Goodell is depressed because in the CBA they gave up his rights to go collect piss from everybody. That's like his hobby. That's like taking away that one week of fishing that Nick Saban does every year.
One of the biggest shocks of the night came from Green Bay. The Packers, coming off an NFC Championship appearance, decided to ignore their desperate need for wide receivers to trade up for quarterback Jordan Love. Big Cat, speaking as a very concerned Packers shareholder, thinks this is the beginning of the end for the Aaron Rodgers era in Wisconsin.
The Packers squandered their first-round pick by drafting a backup quarterback while in win-now mode.
The Packers were in the NFC Championship Game this year. You would think that a team that was that close to the Super Bowl... should probably draft a position they can start right away. They absolutely needed a wide receiver. The funniest part about this whole thing was if you were to list their needs, it was number one by far we need a wide receiver and instead they took a quarterback. I feel like look, the Packers just basically squandered a first-round pick when they're in win now mode.
Aaron Rodgers will demand a trade following the Packers drafting Jordan Love.
As an owner of the Packers, I feel like Aaron Rodgers might demand a trade. I feel like he's the kind of guy that is going to want to get out of town as soon as possible because this is going to be disrespect to him. Either that or he'll tell Danica like give him one of those crystals you got from Chernobyl.
Speaking of Jordan Love, the new Packers signal-caller joined the show. In a twist of fate, the interview was actually recorded just hours before he was drafted, while he was still waiting for that life-changing phone call. He talked about his preparation, the Mahomes comparisons, and even cleared up a long-standing question about Heisman campaign materials.
Candy sent out for Heisman campaigns is good forever and will not expire.
I heard it's a good forever as lifelong candy... [Tom Fornelli] should be good. But if you get sick, you know, I didn't say anything.
After the draft talk, things got nerdy. The guys welcomed a professional Dungeon Master, Tim Woods, to teach them the ways of Dungeons & Dragons. What started as a simple delivery mission for a dwarf named Gunjan Rock Seeker quickly devolved into absolute chaos. Big Cat played as a Barbarian, PFT as a Bard, and Hank as a Warlock. Naturally, within twenty minutes, the party was more interested in murdering each other than fighting goblins.
Before letting the weekend start, the guys tackled the Mount Flushmore of non-alcoholic drinks. Tomato juice took a heavy hit for its weird airline-exclusive popularity, and Big Cat went to war with the entire coconut water industry.
Tomato juice only tastes good when you are on a flight.
Tomato juice is so gross to pick and anyone who says 'oh, it's not that bad' they're just lying because they like it with vodka... I've noticed that people only drink tomato juice on flights... Tomato juice tastes better on an airplane.
Coconut water is a lie and tastes terrible.
I'm gonna go with coconut water. Trash. Someone tried to sell us that coconut water fixes hangovers. That's a fucking lie. Coconut water stinks. I don't like it. It just gives you a weird aftertaste. Just drink regular water.
We also checked in on Tom Brady’s transition to Tampa, which apparently involves him wandering into random strangers' houses and failing at basic social media branding.
Tom Brady's Twitter game is currently terrible.
Tom Brady's Twitter game sucks already. Can someone tell Tommy he doesn't have to have the '@' in front of his name? He said unnecessary '@'. I quote one of his tweets and said 'can someone tell Tommy he doesn't have to have the at in front of his name?' 20 minutes later it was gone. It was gone because someone did. I shamed him.
Byron Leftwich can throw a ball farther than Tom Brady can right now.
I bet you Byron Leftwich can throw a ball farther than Tom Brady right now. He's another one of those guys saying like 'where's the... I just get out there and pearl cannons to each other.' Leftwich could be 70 years old and having his old offensive lineman carry him around on one leg and throw an 85 yard bomb.
Hopefully, Jordan Love's first day in Green Bay involves fewer headlocks than our D&D campaign.
