Julian Edelman on Super Bowl MVP, Gronk's Retirement, and Thirst Traps
The NBA Awards happened on a Monday night in late June, and Big Cat is rightfully disgusted by the timing. Between the Rockets existing in a state of pure, unadulterated denial and the league trying to celebrate a regular season that felt like it ended three years ago, the guys are ready to move on to free agency.
Big CatThe NBA holding their awards show in late June is a stupid move
I don't want a fucking award show on a random Monday in June. Mentally, we do as fans [care about the postseason results]. I'm thinking, of course James Harden didn't win it because the Rockets flamed out again. It's so stupid that they do it this way. They should just do it right before the playoffs.
The Rockets dysfunction is particularly delicious, mostly because Chris Paul is doing the "I'm not mad, please don't put in the newspaper that I'm mad" routine regarding his relationship with James Harden.
Big CatThe Houston Rockets are in hilarious denial about the James Harden and Chris Paul dysfunction
The Rockets stuff is so funny to me... Chris Paul also had a quote that was essentially the 'I'm not owned' [tweet]. He said, 'I never asked for a trade. I never demanded a trade. I'll be in Houston. I'm happy about that.' You guys thinking that me, Chris Paul, notorious tough person to play with, is not vibing with James Harden, also notorious tough person to play with—that's funny to me, guys. I'm laughing here. This is so funny.
Speaking of dysfunction, the New York Mets are currently a flaming dumpster fire inside a larger, more expensive dumpster fire. Between Mickey Callaway trying to fight beat writers and the GM texting roster moves from his couch, the team is in shambles. PFT has the only logical solution to save the franchise: the power of prayer and Tebow.
PFT CommenterTim Tebow should be the manager of the New York Mets
There's one clear pathway out of this, and that's Tim Tebow. Why don't they make Tebow the manager? Because he can't hit a baseball. Right. He won't ever threaten to fight a reporter. Right.
SB MVP Julian Edelman
Recurring guest and Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman joined Big Cat and PFT in studio to talk about his new Showtime documentary, *100%*. He’s officially the first person in recorded history to thirst trap a Father’s Day post, which Big Cat was quick to call out. Julian broke down the "Patriot Way" and admitted that playing for Bill Belichick isn't exactly a walk in the park.
Julian EdelmanPlaying for the Patriots is mentally, physically, and emotionally draining
It's mentally, physically and emotionally draining to play for the Patriots. It's not like you have Wednesday, Thursday to kind of get warm. Like we're practicing hard every day. It's tougher for me. Just get out every day and rev up.
They also got into the retirement of Rob Gronkowski. While the world thinks Gronk is just waiting for the weather to turn cold to come back and catch touchdowns, Julian is a bit more skeptical about his buddy's return to the field.
Julian EdelmanRob Gronkowski has an 11% chance of returning to the NFL
If I had to guess, this isn't Rob. This is you. Just guessing. I'd say maybe 11% chance [Gronk returns].
Julian also shared stories about Tom Brady’s social media evolution, noting that 10 years ago Brady would yell at him to get off his phone and look at the playbook, but now the GOAT is essentially a full-time Instagram lurker.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank put the Warriors training staff on the Hot Seat following Andre Iguodala’s comments about the team downplaying his fractured leg. It seems the "light years ahead" franchise might just be taking years off their players' careers.
HankThe Warriors training staff is sketchy and prioritizes the team over player health
My hot seat is the Warriors training staff. Since the Durant injury, there's been rumors about how Durant was ripshit over the Warriors training staff for kind of lying to him and telling him that the injury wasn't as bad... And Iguodala went on The Breakfast Club today, and he basically revealed himself that he had a fractured leg in the 2018 playoffs, but that was kept under wraps and downplayed.
Big Cat put Cam Newton on the Hot Seat for one of the most embarrassing negotiation attempts in NFL history. Cam tried to pay $1,500 for a seat upgrade on a flight to France, which is basically pocket change for a guy with his contract.
Big CatCam Newton needs to offer $50,000 for a first-class seat upgrade, not $1,500
Cam Newton offering $1,500 cash to someone sitting in first class on a flight to France. No one ever would do that deal. You have to offer twenty thousand dollars, thirty thousand dollars. Cam Newton is going to make $140 million currently. He has to offer $50,000.
Mount Rushmore of Ways to Procrastinate
With the July 4th holiday approaching, the guys tackled the Mount Rushmore of ways to avoid doing your actual job. PFT led the charge with checking Instagram stories and the classic "cleaning up things that don't need to be cleaned" move. Big Cat admitted his life is one long procrastination cycle of checking gambling lines and creating spreadsheets that prove absolutely nothing.
Hank rounded things out with the Bar Rescue marathon, which is the ultimate trap for anyone with a remote and a lack of willpower.
If you're a guy named Joe and you're listening to this, your ex-girlfriend probably wants you back, so go ahead and text her and tell her PMT sent you.
