NFL Draft Round 1 Recap, Randy Moss on Kentucky Derby, and Billy Football's Sabbatical
The 2021 NFL Draft started with a bang, and for once, the smoke wasn't just coming from the usual sources. The 49ers kept everyone guessing for weeks, successfully convincing the entire internet that Mac Jones was their guy at number three before pivoting to Trey Lance. PFT was thoroughly impressed by the commitment to the bit.
PFT CommenterThe 49ers created the best smokescreen in NFL draft history
I would not put that past Kyle Shanahan because this is the best smokescreen that I think I've ever seen in the NFL draft [leading people to believe they wanted Mac Jones].
While the Niners went with the high-ceiling project, Big Cat was busy having the greatest night of his life. After years of quarterback purgatory, the Chicago Bears traded up to snag Justin Fields. It was a moment of pure euphoria for the Chicago faithful, even if it meant Ryan Pace might have just bought himself another decade of job security. In Big Cat's mind, the hierarchy of the NFC North has already shifted.
Big CatJustin Fields is better than Aaron Rodgers
I don't fucking care. Justin Fields is a better quarterback than Aaron Rodgers anyway.
Speaking of the NFC North, the Green Bay Packers are in absolute shambles. The news that Aaron Rodgers is disgruntled and wants out dominated the pre-draft cycle, leading to endless speculation about where the reigning MVP might land. PFT is already visualizing Rodgers in a different shade of orange.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers will go to the Broncos
I think [Aaron Rodgers] is going to go to Denver, and it's got to be an awesome life to be a Broncos fan. Because it's like, yeah, you get a couple seasons that are mixed in here and there, but then you just get good quarterbacks that just want to come to you. And Aaron Rodgers sounds like he wants to go there.
Even with the drama in Green Bay, the guys couldn't ignore the return of a certain attention-magnet to the NFL. Tim Tebow is reportedly signing with the Jaguars to play tight end for Urban Meyer, a move that feels more like a PR stunt than a football decision.
PFT CommenterTim Tebow is only returning to the NFL for attention
He is such a fucking attention whore, annoying piece of shit... He's 33 years old, by the way... I wouldn't be surprised if Tim Tebow just became an astronaut after this year.
The Kentucky Derby Preview with Randy Moss
With the first Saturday in May upon us, friend of the program Randy Moss joined the show to break down the field for the Kentucky Derby. The big story this year is Essential Quality, the undefeated favorite who seems to have every tool in the shed except for one: elite speed. Randy explained that while the horse is a "machine," the metrics aren't quite there yet.
Randy MossEssential Quality is a machine but hasn't run a fast race yet
He's just a machine so far... The one knock on him... [is] he's yet to run what most people would consider to be a fast race by Kentucky Derby favorite standards.
Randy also took some time to dispel the myth that the number one post position is a death sentence at Churchill Downs. He argues that the geometry of the track actually favors the inside if the jockey can avoid getting boxed in. As for the most successful man in the sport, Randy believes Bob Baffert's legacy is already set in stone.
Randy MossBob Baffert is the most successful horse trainer of all time
When Bob retires, I think he's in his late 60s, but he's going strong. He'll be the most successful horse trainer of all time.
Before letting him go, Randy dropped a few nuggets for the degenerate gamblers in the audience. While he stayed coy on his official Derby winner, he was more than happy to give out a play for earlier in the day on Saturday.

There is a horse running Saturday in the 10th race... His name is Endorsed and I will endorse betting on Endorsed... I think the horse is an excellent play.
Fyre Fest and Billy's Goodbye
We wrapped up the show with a bitter-sweet Fyre Fest as Billy Football prepares to head off on a month-long sabbatical to finish his degree and go on his version of a "Rumspringa." Before he left, he tried to get Big Cat and PFT to roast him, but they couldn't even find enough material because he's been on such a "good behavior" hot streak lately.
Billy FootballI am going to blog seven times a week
Probably like seven [blogs a week]. I'm not going to blog about anything unless I seriously have a good opinion on it, and that's something I'll promise you.
Big Cat shared his own Fyre Fest involving his son getting smacked by a little girl at Gymboree. While most dads might have been fuming, Big Cat is taking a more psychological approach to his parenting style moving forward.
Big CatSarcasm is the best way to prepare a child for life
I'm going to weaponize [my son] with sarcasm. That will hopefully get him through life.
We'll miss Billy for the next few weeks, but at least we have a shiny new Bears quarterback to keep us company.
Good luck with the books, Billy, and try not to get banned from any more platforms while you're away.
