Patrick Mahomes, Anthony Sherman, and the Death of Game of Thrones
Grit Week 2019 has officially kicked off, and Big Cat and PFT are currently traversing Southern California in a 1975 VW bus that is essentially a rolling tin can held together by hopes and dreams. Between the loose steering and the constant threat of a check engine light, it's the grittiest possible way to travel to see Jared Goff and Coach McVay. PFT is also attempting to navigate the week without his Juul, which is a bold choice for a week involving 20-hour workdays and constant proximity to In-N-Out.
PFT CommenterI am quitting juicing cold turkey this week
I've decided to quit juicing this week. So, juicing was becoming a real problem for me... and I'm going cold turkey this week.
Speaking of In-N-Out, the over/under on Hank's consumption levels is already a major talking point as the California team begins to infiltrate the guys' healthy habits.
PFT CommenterI'm setting the over/under for Hank's In-N-Out patties this week at 12.5
The number of patties of In-N-Out that Hank eats this week, I'm putting at 12.5.
The Koepka Era and NBA Drama
Our good friend Brooks Koepka just finished dominating the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black, proving once again that the PMT bump is very real. After winning four of the last seven majors, Brooks called into the show from full-send mode to celebrate. While Brandel Chamblee continues to be wrong about everything, the guys are ready to take their rightful place as the sport's premier kingmakers.
Big CatWe are definitely kingmakers because Brooks Koepka dominated after appearing on the show
We need to start the show with the question, are we kingmakers? I think definitely we are. Because Brooks Koepka just dominated the PGA Championship.
Over in the NBA, the Warriors are handling the Blazers with ease despite Kevin Durant being sidelined. It has sparked the inevitable debate about whether Golden State is actually more cohesive when they aren't relying on KD's isolation scoring. Big Cat is convinced the product is just better when Steph is allowed to be Steph.
Big CatThe Warriors are more fun to watch without Kevin Durant
The question now is, are the Warriors better without Kevin Durant? I think what you're seeing is they're more fun to watch without Kevin Durant. They are absolutely more fun to watch. They play a more interesting brand of basketball. Steph Curry is allowed to be Steph Curry.
While Big Cat is enjoying the Bucks' run and the atmosphere in Milwaukee, PFT isn't quite as sold on the potential Finals matchup being a classic.
PFT CommenterThe NBA Finals between the Bucks and Warriors will not be an interesting series
I'm trying to get myself to a place where I'm saying it's going to be an interesting finals between the Bucks and the Warriors. I don't think it is... I'm just kind of thinking that I'm going to be very disappointed with it.
Patrick Mahomes and Anthony Sherman
Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes and the "Sausage with Hands" himself, Anthony Sherman, joined the show to talk about the Chiefs' incredible run and the heartbreak of the AFC Championship. Mahomes addressed everything from his love of ketchup on steak to his dad's baseball career, and even sat through PFT's infamous frog-voiced impression of him. Sherman, a true fullback, made it clear he'd rather pancake a linebacker than catch a wheel route, though he did offer a specific prediction for his quarterback's stats next season.
Anthony ShermanI expect Patrick Mahomes to throw 48 touchdowns in the 2019 season
I'll give a number. I'll say 48.
Mahomes remained humble about the 50-touchdown season but admitted that the goal remains singular. He's not worried about the Madden curse or the media nitpicking his tendency to point for first downs on every single play.
Patrick MahomesI will throw enough touchdowns to win the Super Bowl in 2019
Enough to win the Super Bowl... As many touchdowns as I can throw that helps us find a way to win the Super Bowl, that'd be awesome.
Who's Back and The Throne Room
Who's Back of the Week featured the Jets' absolute chaos under Adam Gase and the ongoing investigation into Kyler Murray’s actual height. PFT, acting as the resident height expert, is convinced the Cardinals' new franchise QB is hiding his true self.
PFT CommenterKyler Murray is actually much shorter than his listed height
I actually do think that he's short. I think he's shorter than I am... He's like 5'6", 5'7", 5'8"... I do think that Kyler Murray is running away from his true self. I think that he's like 5'8".
We also touched on the Manning family's iron grip on the NFL. With Arch Manning already lighting up senior practices as an eighth grader, Big Cat realized we are destined to be watching this family play quarterback until our final breaths.
Big CatThe Manning family will have a quarterback in the NFL until the day we die
We're all going to die here. We're going to die before Mannings are out of the NFL. Like there are going to be Mannings in the NFL till the day we die. They're just never, they're going to outlast us as human beings.
Finally, the show ended with a breakdown of the Game of Thrones finale. It was a rough night for Team Targaryen. Between Bran the Broken somehow stumbling into the crown and the Unsullied just deciding to leave after Jon Snow committed regicide, the logic was stretched thinner than the VW bus's brake pads. Hank was particularly frustrated by the lack of immediate consequences for Jon's actions.
HankIf Jon Snow told Grey Worm he killed Daenerys, Grey Worm would have killed him instantly
If Jon Snow told Grey Worm that he killed Daenerys, Grey Worm would have killed him. In a second. They didn't show any of that.
If we survive the drive back in the death trap van, we'll see you on Wednesday. That's Gucci, brah.
