The guys are live from an RV Park in Buffalo, NY to kick to off grit week. Discussions include ranking the wings in Buffalo, grit week plans, and the NBA playoffs. Richie Incognito joins the show from the RV to talk about Buffalo and his appearance on both the Top 100 players list and the top 50 most hated list. America's lawyer Mike Portnoy quickly talks the guys through their very dangerous video idea. Segments include "PR 101" for Johnny Manziel, "Hurt of Injured" for the 2 horses that died at the Preakness, and "Mike Greenberg's dumb rules". The show finishes with an update on the Viagra Falls idea

Duff's is far better than Anchor Bar for wings in Buffalo

We unanimously decided that Duff's was far better than Anchor Bar. Anchor Bar had an unfortunate incident... but we unanimously decided that Duff's was far better.

This is subjective, but Duff's is frequently cited by locals as superior to the tourist-heavy Anchor Bar.

Steph Curry is too fragile for the NBA and needs to add 30 pounds

The scouts were right. He's too fragile to play in the NBA. Needs to add another 20, 30 pounds to his frame this offseason.

Steph Curry is an all-time great and won four championships; the idea that he is 'too fragile' is a joke.

The Thunder are the best team in the league when Durant and Westbrook click on the same night

When they [Durant and Westbrook] do that, you can't beat them... They, at some point, will click on the exact same night, and they're the best team in the league.

The Thunder famously blew a 3-1 lead in this series, so while they were dominant for a stretch, they weren't 'unbeatable'.

LeBron James will eventually injure himself while flopping

He's going to flop at some point and do that extra thing that he does and turn his ankle during the flop. And at that point, is it a flop anymore? It's going to be amazing. That's all I'm rooting for now is I want LeBron to hurt himself while he's flopping.

LeBron James has remained remarkably durable throughout his career and has never sustained a major injury due to a flop.

LeBron James will dominate Game 4 against the Raptors and rip their hearts out

LeBron is going to come out in game four and he is going to rip the heart out of the Toronto Raptors... what he's going to do is he's going to step on their throats, and Drake is going to be crying at the bench... this is a LeBron James game, game four.

The Raptors actually won Game 4 (105-99) to tie the series 2-2. LeBron had 29 points, but did not 'rip their hearts out' in that specific game.

Kickers are severely disliked by real football players

I severely disliked them... as the 17th most hated person on the planet, I can't say I really hate anybody, but I severely dislike them. I would not invite them out for wings.

This is a subjective cultural stance within football locker rooms.

The 2016 Bills have a chance to make some noise under Rex Ryan

I think the continuity coming back under Rex, we got a lot of guys coming back on both sides of the ball. I think we got a chance to make some noise.

The 2016 Buffalo Bills finished 7-9 and Rex Ryan was fired before the end of the season.

Dying as a champion racehorse is better than living as an old-timer in a pasture

I would say that that's more of a hurt [than an injury] because if you die a legend like that after winning a race, your legacy lives on longer than anybody else... You don't remember him as some old-timer getting jerked off in a pasture somewhere.

This is a philosophical, satirical opinion about horse legacy.

Anyone who supports robot umpires in baseball can go fuck themselves

Anyone who is like pro robots can go fuck themselves... The minute you start letting robots do these kind of tasks is what they're going to take over our lives... I don't need fucking umps telling me balls and strikes. There's some things you need to leave to humans.

MLB has begun testing automated strike zones (ABS) in the minor leagues, so the 'robot' future is actually arriving despite Big Cat's protest.

Baseball should crowdsource balls and strikes via Twitter polls during games

You could crowdsource it... A pitch happens and then everybody responds on Twitter. Twitter poll. Strike or no? And then 51% carries the day and you get a strike or ball based on that. And then fans can't get mad at it because they only have themselves to blame.

This has never been implemented and would be a logistical nightmare, confirming its satirical nature.

Johnny Manziel should get fat to regain public sympathy

Fat Johnny Manziel is actually a good way to get some sympathy back... You can't... It's just different when you're fat. People won't call him a scumbag as much... You're lovable when you're fat.

Manziel did not follow this advice; he eventually opened up about his struggles with substance abuse and mental health in a more traditional manner years later.
