Wednesday, May 22, 201913 takes

Grit Week 19 continues. We've been up and down the coast interviewing guests and Big Cat got the re-follow from Anna Kendrick after some help from AWL Zac Efron ( - ) . It's been a weird long week already. NBA playoffs, Drake sucks, the Raptors are back, and Steph Curry is amazing ( - ). The Blues are in the Stanley Cup Final ( - ). Hot Seat/Cool Throne ( - ). Rams Head Coach Sean McVay joins the show to talk about the Super Bowl loss, him not giving us suites for the big game, Kliff Kingsbury possibly being hotter than he is, having the BOAT in his QB room, and remembering plays ( - ). Segments include Uhhh Ya Think, Bad Visual for Daniel Jones and Eli  being identical, hurt or injured Cespedes, and Guys on Chicks.

The Bosa family are made of silk because they are so injury prone

The Bosa family, they're kind of doofies, doofuses, doofi? ... If you did a 23andMe on the Bosa family jeans, it's like 15% Anglo-Saxon and then 85% silk. Torn hamstrings. They're just made out of silk. Their hamstrings are Ming vases.

While both Bosas have missed significant time with injuries, Nick Bosa has also won Defensive Player of the Year, suggesting he's more than just fragile.

Daniel Jones is Archie Manning's illegitimate child because they look identical

We've been saying that it's a good possibility that Daniel Jones is Archie Manning's illegitimate child. And that picture that came out yesterday certainly I think lended a lot of credence. I think you could just put those side by side, most people in America would be like, yeah, that guy is somehow related.

There is no factual evidence Daniel Jones is related to the Mannings.

Drake is the worst for rubbing the coach's shoulders on the sideline

Drake is the worst. He is the star of the show up in Canada. So he was rubbing Nick Nurse's shoulders, giving him a little massage on the sidelines. You know what, Drake? You're from Canada. You should know better. It's like the Stanley Cup. You don't touch your coach's shoulders during a game until you win the title.

This is a subjective opinion on sideline etiquette.

The take that the Warriors are better without Kevin Durant is starting to look true

The kernel, the little fucking seed that got planted a few weeks ago, has now become a full tree, a take tree. Are the Warriors better without Kevin Durant? It is a full-blown take tree. It's the tree that's dropping shit on your car now because you can't go anywhere without seeing this take. And it's starting to look kind of true.

The Warriors won the 2022 title without KD, proving they could win at the highest level without him, though they lost the 2019 Finals shortly after this take.

Steph Curry can be more of himself when the offense runs through him instead of Kevin Durant

Steph Curry, the Warriors are not better without Kevin Durant because a superstar gives you more flexibility and injuries and all that shit. But Steph Curry is certainly better and can be more Steph Curry without Kevin Durant. When the offense runs through him and basically he shoots the lights out and he gets into these rhythms that you can't stop him.

Basketball analysts generally agree that Steph's usage and 'gravity' are maximized when he is the primary option.

St. Louis Cardinals fans have been pieces of shit forever

The St. Louis-Chicago rivalry, St. Louis Cardinals fans have been pieces of shit forever with the way they treat Cubs. Best fans in baseball. Careful. Anyone who's listening right now is a Cardinals fan. They'll admit this. They made all the jokes. They said the Cubs would never win one.

This is a subjective rivalry-based opinion.

Bartolo Colon is not a Hall of Famer despite his longevity and wins

Bartolo Colon is one of those guys that we should make a special rule where he should get to start one game for every single team for an entire season. ... Not a Hall of Famer, but a very good, memorable pitcher. He has more families than home runs. Four-time All-Star and a Cy Young in 2005. That's pretty damn good. Good job for you, Bartolo.

Colon's PED suspension and overall ERA (4.12) make him an unlikely Hall of Famer despite his 247 wins.

USA Rugby Sevens will be in striking distance of first place going into the Paris tournament

The point is that this is the penultimate. So it's the second to last tournament. If we're in striking range going into Paris. We already are. We're in first. Which is the last leg. I might pull a Hong Kong and just fly over to Paris. ... I'm going to say it right now. We'll be in fucking striking distance because I have faith in our boys.

USA finished second in the overall standings in 2019, maintaining 'striking distance' throughout the final legs.

Magic Johnson is a master of the media and spinning narratives

Can we just for a second note that Magic Johnson is a master of the media? Like, I know he's been getting dragged for a lot of things... but the guy can spin any spin zone. He went on First Take. He basically gets Stephen A. Smith on his side all like two hours before Rob Pelinka has to announce Frank Vogel as the new head coach and basically bringing up the fact that Frank Vogel was their sixth option. So Magic Johnson, hats off to you.

Magic Johnson's media appearances are legendary for their ability to command headlines and deflect blame.

Blake Bortles has the leadership and experience to not flinch in big-time games

Jared and [Bortles] have a great relationship and anytime that you can get a guy like Blake where when you meet him... he's one of those guys, he's got a great demeanor where you're like, you know, this guy feels like a quarterback, a leader. Then you hear him a couple days out here just the way he commands a huddle you can see why his teammates believe in him... [He] has been in those types of games, in those atmospheres where you know he's not going to flinch.

This is McVay's professional evaluation of his player.

I deserved the criticism for my coaching performance in Super Bowl LIII

I'm talking about the criticism of my coaching in the Super Bowl. I deserve it. ... I'd be lying if I said, you know, if things go a little off track, you probably have too many thoughts in your head and you would have a different rhythm. I don't necessarily know if you're working any less hard for the preparation, but, you know, Coach Belichick and the Patriots are, you know, they're the standard right now.

The Rams scored only 3 points in Super Bowl LIII, which is widely considered a coaching failure by McVay.

Zach Robinson is going to be a star on the coaching staff

We were able to get a guy on our staff in Zach Robinson, who he has some, you know, traits that remind you of both Matt [LaFleur] and Zac Taylor. And I think this guy's going to be a star. ... He studied as much film as anybody. When you ask, you know, he was putting in every coverage for all the past plays in the league every single week and did a good job for them.

Zach Robinson became a highly touted assistant and eventually the Offensive Coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons in 2024.

Cliff Kingsbury is 'system hot' and hides behind his sunglasses

I think Cliff is fake hot. I think he's not as hot as advertised. I think he's system hot. He hides behind the sunglasses. He's tall. Yeah, he hides behind the sunglasses like a real coward.

Attractiveness is inherently subjective.
