Biz and Whit on NHL Trade Rumors, World Cup Chaos, and the Heisman Race
Just when you think the bad man is finally gone, Tom Brady rises from the grave to rip the hearts out of the Saints. Monday Night Football was a masterclass in boring football right up until the final two minutes when the GOAT decided to actually play. Big Cat and PFT broke down how the Saints invented brand new ways to blow a game, specifically Mark Ingram stepping out of bounds a yard short of the sticks for absolutely no reason.
While Brady got the win, it wasn’t exactly a vintage performance. He looked like a guy who didn't want to be within ten feet of a pass rusher all night. Big Cat pointed out that while the arm talent is still there, the lack of trust in his protection is making the Bucs' offense painful to watch.
Big CatTom Brady's arm is still there, but he clearly doesn't trust his offensive line anymore
His arm is still there. It's just that he doesn't trust his offensive line and it's so apparent... Because he doesn't want to get hit, why would you if you're 45 years old? He will bail out of plays early or he won't stand in it as long... He is dumping down constantly because he's like, I don't trust these guys.
On the other side, the Saints continuing to roll with Andy Dalton is reaching conspiracy levels of weird. PFT has a theory that the Saints coaching staff is basically too terrified to put Jameis Winston back out there after how they handled his back injury earlier in the season.
PFT CommenterThe Saints are afraid to play Jameis Winston because they know they mishandled his earlier injury
I have a conspiracy theory... I think the Saints know that they fucked up his injury when it happened when they put [Jameis Winston] back in. And I think that they're trying to make sure that they're doing the right thing for his health on the back end of it... That's why I think that we're not getting James. They're afraid to play him right now.
College Football Playoff and the Heisman Snub
The playoff field is officially set, and while the guys agree the committee got the top four right, the way we got there was a bit greasy. Nick Saban going on a desperate media tour to beg for a spot was a tough look for the king of "rat poison."
Big CatNick Saban's media tour begging for a playoff spot was pathetic
Nick Saban getting in front of the media and doing his tour where he was like, you know, our team like ask everyone who they'd want to at least play it's us. ... It was pathetic. It was gross to watch to beg.
PFT CommenterThe College Football Playoff committee will never take a two-loss team over a one-loss team
The precedent has been set. They'll never take a two-loss team over a one-loss team. And TCU being in is gonna be fun.
The Heisman finalists were also announced, and the general consensus is that Hendon Hooker got absolutely hosed. PFT argued that the committee basically deleted Hooker's entire incredible season the moment his knee gave out, which feels like a garbage way to reward the most impactful player in the country.
PFT CommenterThe Heisman committee punished Hendon Hooker for tearing his ACL
I think they are punishing him [Hendon Hooker] for tearing his ACL. ... Obviously the loss against South Carolina, that's, it wasn't good. But you can't, you can't blame Hendon for having his defense get what? 60 points hung on him.
Spittin' Chiclets in Studio
Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette joined the show to talk some puck and react to Morocco bouncing Spain from the World Cup in real-time. Whitney is fully bought into the Georgia Bulldogs repeat tour, while Biz is already looking ahead to the next generation of hockey stars.
Ryan WhitneyGeorgia is going to crush Ohio State and Michigan/TCU
I've called the entire season and they're [Georgia] going to crush Ohio State and then they're gonna crush Michigan too. Or TCU all.
Paul BissonnetteConnor Bedard is the next Connor McDavid
Connor Bedard is being touted as basically another McDavid. ... he's messy of hockey is the way he's being touted as right now. And I think with the way that the games changes game is changing where it all speed skill, I think that he can come in and be that guy.
They also touched on the upcoming NHL trade deadline and the legacy of Patrick Kane. With the Blackhawks in a full-blown race for the bottom, the guys debated where the greatest American-born player will end up chasing his next ring.
Paul BissonnettePatrick Kane is the greatest American born hockey player
I mean I think he's [Patrick Kane] the best American born player. Me too. Yes. No hands down.
Paul BissonnetteJacob Chychrun will be the biggest name defenseman moved at the deadline
For trade for defenseman right now the biggest name is Jacob Chychrun and he plays for the coyotes. ... I would say that he's gonna be a big name defenseman that moves at the close to the deadline.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Billy Football brought some genuine terror to the office by introducing Chat GPT, claiming it’s going to put every blogger on the planet out of a job. He even used it to write a recap of the Texans game, and honestly, the AI’s Deshaun Watson jokes were uncomfortably accurate.
Billy FootballChat GPT is going to replace everything
There's this new program called Chat GPT. ... this thing can basically write blogs. ... this thing's gonna replace everything. ... I'm definitely gonna be using this because, yeah, it's just insane.
Hank is on the Hot Seat for defending Cristiano Ronaldo as the GOAT even after he got benched by Portugal, while Big Cat is worried about the future of comedy after Mindy Kaling suggested *The Office* couldn't exist in 2022.
Big CatThe Office would be canceled by today's standards
Mindy Kaling I guess was interviewed and she was like, yeah, the office would've been like, if they had the office today, it would've been canceled. ... if the office today was made today and it was canceled, like then comedy just truly is dead.
Finally, the 49ers might have lost Jimmy G, but the era of "Big Cock Brock" Purdy has officially begun in San Francisco. If the nickname alone doesn't carry them to a Super Bowl, nothing will.
Big CatThe 49ers are in a good spot with 'Big Cock' Brock Purdy taking over
The best thing that could happen to a team is their backup coming in and having a huge cock and getting a nickname and then going to win a Super Bowl... I feel like the Niners are now in a good spot... I think the Niners are probably gonna win the Super Bowl just on that.
Between the 49ers' new savior and the Raiders' improbable winning streak, the NFL playoff hunt is officially sniffing around.
