Richie Incognito on Bills Mafia, Rex Ryan, and Beating Up Ferraris
Big Cat and PFT are riding the high of the ultimate sports miracle as Leicester City clinched the Premier League title at 5,000 to 1 odds. While the rest of the sports world is calculating the math on five-dollar bets, PFT is already looking toward the future of the Foxes.
Leicester City is a fraud if they don't defend their title
If you don't defend your title, you're a fraud. Let's just put our cards on the table here, Leicester City. If you don't defend your title, you're a fraud.
Big Cat isn't ready to let the story go just yet, mostly because he's jealous of the English soccer fans who are currently in the middle of a month-long bender eating fish and chips. He also pointed out that while American fans might find the system confusing, England actually has the right idea with how they handle bad teams.
The English Premier League's relegation is the greatest rule in all of sports
The English Premier League has the greatest rule in all of sports with relegation. Every other league should have relegation. The fact that they have relegation trumps all.
Richie Incognito Joins the Show
Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito joined the program to talk about life under Rex Ryan and the chaos of Bills Mafia. He fit right in immediately, confirming that he is 100% on board with fans lighting themselves on fire and jumping through tables in the parking lot. Richie even admitted that he and center Eric Wood have discussed sending jerseys to the fans with the best tailgate videos, though the legal team probably wouldn't love the liability of rewarding a condiment bukkake.
When the conversation shifted to the 2016 NFL Draft and the Laremy Tunsil gas mask video, Richie had some veteran advice for the rookie.
Laremy Tunsil should quit social media and just play ball
Quit social media. Lock yourself away. Just hang with my guy Pouncey down there. Hang with Tannehill. Hang around good guys like that. And you know what? Just do your thing because all that other stuff has nothing to do with football.
Richie didn't hold back on the locker room hierarchy either. While he loves his teammates, he was very clear about where the specialist unit stands in the grand scheme of professional sports.
Kickers and punters are not actual people
Kickers are not people. We can get Pat McAfee on here right now. Kickers are not people. I love kickers. Kickers are my boys, but they are not people. They are kickers. Punters... they're in the same boat.
We also got the full story behind the infamous Ferrari incident. Richie described the pure catharsis of taking a baseball bat to his dream car during his year away from football, racking up a $26,000 repair bill in the process. He also shared his thoughts on the current trend of NFL players sharing every single moment of their offseason on Instagram.
NFL players who post workout videos on social media are annoying; just do your job and show it on the field
I will say that all these guys posting videos of themselves working out now, that I disagree with. That, I mean, I draw the line somewhere. Like, duh, you're doing your job. You're working out. The whole world doesn't need to know about it. Rise and grind, yeah. Show me on the football field.
LeBron's "It" Factor and NBA Talk
PFT brought a hard-hitting question to the table regarding LeBron James and whether he truly possesses the necessary DNA to win a title without his Heat superstars.
Does LeBron James have the 'it factor' and the 'clutch gene' to win without Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh?
My question is, does LeBron have the it factor? I don't think people are talking about this enough. He's won a couple championships, but the years that he won it, was he really the it guy? Did he really have that clutch gene? He still has to get it done on his own this postseason without the help of future Hall of Famers Dwyane Wade and [Chris Bosh].
Big Cat remains a believer in the King, noting that LeBron dominates the Eastern Conference every spring like clockwork. The guys also broke down the Thunder-Spurs series, specifically the erratic behavior of one Chris Webber on the broadcast.
Chris Webber was definitely betting on the Thunder-Spurs game
Chris Webber, I'm pretty sure Chris Webber was betting on this game because I've never heard anyone so emotionally invested in a game... It was clear that Chris Webber had money on this game.
New Segments and All Lives Matter
The show featured the debut of "Mike Greenberg's Dumb Rules," where the guys mocked the idea of adding challenge flags to the NBA and the draconian steroid policies floating around sports talk radio. Big Cat offered a much more reasonable compromise for the PED era.
Steroid users should be allowed to use them as long as they don't work out
I think for steroids, you should be able to use them as long as you don't abuse them... If you use steroids, you can't lift any weights. This is the Pardon My Take 'use it, don't abuse it' rule. If you use it, stay out of the gym.
In a very educational "People Forget That," PFT reminded everyone that the Green Bay Packers once drafted an actual serial killer. While the I-5 Killer was certainly a menace, Big Cat still thinks there are bigger busts in the history of the league.
Ryan Leaf and Johnny Manziel are bigger busts than a serial killer
I think Ryan Leaf and Johnny Manziel still are bigger [busts].
To wrap things up, the guys looked at a concerning new promotion from the San Diego Chargers involving Philip Rivers and a Mother's Day contest.
Philip Rivers is using the 'Ultimate Chargers Mom' contest to hook up with moms in San Diego
I feel like Philip Rivers is about to hook up with some moms in the San Diego area. You're giving a guy who loves moms because he's got 10 kids. He loves sex. He loves moms. And you're having this guy do a photo judge and call a mom? I don't know, Chargers. Feels like a bad idea.
If you see Philip Rivers at a local San Diego brunch spot this Sunday, mind your business.
