Recap
Big CatThe Texans are the AFC version of the Seahawks
The [Texans] are essentially the AFC Seahawks, in my opinion, where their defense is elite. And you essentially have to get to the point where you're like, can you see CJ Stroud or Sam Darnold playing a clean enough game that they can get all the way to the Super Bowl?
HankThe Patriots can beat any defense with their current offense
I just think offenses are a strong suit. I think [the Patriots] can beat any defense and I'd rather be playing a team that is known for their really good defense than their really good offense.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers will retire sooner rather than later
I'm excited to see how long [Aaron Rodgers] can drag out this off season with his decision to retire or not. I actually think it's gonna be sooner rather than later. I think that he's probably gonna walk away.
Big CatMike Tomlin resigning was the right move for both sides
I actually think that this was the right move by Mike Tomlin. I do believe that this was his call. The Steelers are never gonna get better to a point where they're competing for Super Bowls. I think he's a really good coach. It got stale.
PFT CommenterThe Giants should hire Mike Tomlin
I could see the Giants doing it. This feels like a Giants move. The Giants crave stability. They want Daddy Tomlin to come in and whip him into shape. I don't think it'd be a terrible hire.
Big CatThis has to be Al Michaels' last year
I do think this has to be Al Michaels' last year. Next year has to be. I would appreciate if Al Michaels would do a retirement tour. If he was like, this is it, I would not complain about him at all because he is a legend of the game.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterJohn Rahm will flip back to the PGA Tour
I think John Rahm's gonna come back. I don't know about Cam Smith, but Rahm feels like the next guy that's going to flip [from LIV to PGA].
Big CatLeBron James will announce his retirement at the All-Star Game
He's gonna announce he's retiring at the All-Star game. They're gonna rig it so that he can win the all-star MVP. It's in LA. And then he's gonna say, I'm retiring.
Interview
Andrew WhitworthThe Super Bowl champion will come from the NFC West
I said on that show that I thought the Super Bowl winner was gonna come from the NFC West. I feel good about three of them still being in it. And I still think that the NFC West is gonna be the Super Bowl champion.
Andrew WhitworthThe Rams will beat the Bills in the Super Bowl
I'm going Rams, Bills Super Bowl and I'm going Matthew Stafford and the Rams win the Super Bowl. That's, that's my prediction.
Dylan StromeOvechkin breaking the goal record is a top-tier sports moment
Leading up to the [895th goal], it seemed like there was like 21 games and then 11 goals. He broke his leg and we were like, take your time getting back. He's like, no, two weeks I'll be back on the ice. Being a part of [the goal] was really cool. I mean, I had an assist on 890, 91, 92, 93.
Dylan StromeThe Capitals are 0-5 in shootouts because their goalies catch left-handed
We're oh-five in shootouts this year. And I'm gonna strictly say that it's only because we always shoot on southpaw goalies. We don't actually get to shoot on regular goalies for the shootouts.
