Richie Incognito on the Bills and Calling Marlins Man Live
The Capitals have finally advanced to face their inevitable doom against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but Big Cat and PFT are remarkably high on their chances of actually doing something different this year. PFT is especially confident after the Caps knocked out the Maple Leafs, though he admitted he might have hovered over the panic button once or twice during the series.
The 2017 Capitals are a different team and will get past the Penguins
This is our year. The Capitals, it's a different team. Everyone knows it.
I am more confident than ever that the Capitals will beat the Penguins
I'm more confident than i've ever been going into this [series]. We just beat a bunch of yahoos that dump gravy and cheese all over their fries. We can beat a city that puts it in their sandwiches.
While the NHL is doing its usual thing, the NBA first round has actually provided more drama despite a lack of Game 7s. Between Rajon Rondo’s creaky knee tripping people and Marcus Smart apparently being a weapons specialist who threw branches in high school, the feuds are at an all-time high.
The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round
The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round. I know there's been a lot of overtime games, but like you said, there's no Game 7s. And the NBA feels like... last year was really bad. This year, there have been some really compelling stories, and we have a lot of fights going on.
Richie Incognito and the Draft Grind
Buffalo Bills lineman Richie Incognito joined the show in-studio to talk about the transition from the Rex Ryan era to Sean McDermott. Richie remains a huge fan of the Ryan brothers, even if Rob might have been smelling a firing and stashing away office supplies in his boiler. He also gave some insight into the new regime in Buffalo and why he's excited for the upcoming season.
Sean McDermott is a gritty, energetic coach who will have the Bills ready to compete
McDermott's a good guy. He's a straight shooter. He's a really gritty guy. You know, the guy has energy. He wants to compete. Everything he says and does, he brings energy to.
With it being Draft Week, Richie took us back to his own draft experience in 2005. He was a guy with first-round talent but "undrafted baggage," and he actually ended up taking a nap during the third round because he was so pissed off at the players being taken ahead of him.
I was a better prospect than the players drafted ahead of me in the 2005 NFL Draft
I saw guys coming off the board in front of me that i knew i was better than and i got upset and i was pissed. ... first-round talent on the field. Undrafted baggage off the field.
Richie also debunked several Nebraska legends and explained the strategy for the Wonderlic. Apparently, the key to a high score is drinking a massive energy drink and being told you’re doing the bench press, only to be shuffled into a testing room instead.
Calling Marlins Man and Respecting the Biz
In a PMT first, Big Cat and PFT decided to call Marlins Man while he was sitting behind home plate on Sunday Night Baseball. He answered the phone on national television, did the stool symbol for the cameras, and confirmed he brought 16 people to the game, mostly "second responders" and charity workers. It was a peak patriotic moment that featured God Bless America playing in the background while he discussed his busy schedule of sitting in the best seats in America.
NBA players who are bad at free throws should simply run away from defenders trying to foul them
If you're Roberson and you're going to get fouled, why don't you just run away? Why don't you just run all over the court dodging the person? And just run out the clock for as long as it takes.
During a quick Respect the Biz segment, the guys addressed the Houston Rockets bench clowning Andre Roberson for his atrocious free-throw shooting. PFT has a simple tactical solution for anyone in Roberson's shoes who doesn't want to get fouled.
Hurt or Injured and Guys on Chicks
Blake Griffin is out with a big toe injury, which led to a serious discussion about the severity of foot issues for the big man. Big Cat isn't taking it lightly, even if hockey players like Erik Karlsson are out there skating on actual broken feet.
Turf toe is the worst injury you can ever have
I'll say this turf toe is the worst injury you can ever have in your life.
Any lower-body injury for a person over 251 pounds is life-threatening
If you weigh more than 251 pounds, any injury that you have below your waist is a severe issue. It's life-threatening.
Wrapping things up with Guys on Chicks, PFT doubled down on his biological theories regarding Serena Williams. After a listener tip, he’s convinced that he understands the female anatomy better than anyone else, specifically when it comes to oxygen circulation.
Pregnancy is technically a performance enhancing drug for athletes
Serena Williams how she got pregnant and how being pregnant is technically a performance enhancing drug because she has more blood in her system because she's not on the dot anymore and since she has more blood she's got more red blood cells which means she's circulating oxygen at a higher rate.
To close out the show, Big Cat shared an internet story involving a lawsuit, a broken penis, and a dead husband that was so dark it might have officially broken the segment forever.
Stay humble and see you in Philly for the Draft.
