Eagles Super Bowl Champs, Max and Rone Live from Nola, and Josh Allen MVP
The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions and the dream of a Kansas City Chiefs three-peat is officially dead. Big Cat and PFT were in awe of the absolute shellacking that took place in New Orleans, where the Eagles' defensive line decided to treat Patrick Mahomes like a ragdoll for four straight quarters. It was a masterclass in Vic Fangio's "pressure with four" philosophy that left the best quarterback in the world looking completely human.
PFT CommenterPatrick Mahomes is officially washed.
Big Cat, let me ask you embrace debate. Is Patrick Mahomes washed trash or ass? I think he's washed. He's washed. He's washed. Okay. He's washed. Yeah. Check down Merchant. Listen, it happens to every quarterback. He check downs. You know, like Father Time is undefeated.
While Mahomes was struggling, Jalen Hurts was busy silencing every single doubter he's ever had. He was surgical through the air and a force on the ground, leading Nick Sirianni to a ring that many thought this roster was too dysfunctional to achieve just a year ago. PFT pointed out that it is finally time to give the man in the visor his flowers as one of the most successful coaches in the league today.
PFT CommenterNick Sirianni is the most under-respected head coach in the NFL and deserves more credit for his winning percentage.
You gotta respect Nick Sirianni as a head coach. You have to because right now did you know that Nick Sirianni has the highest winning percentage of any coach in the NFL? He's doing an awesome job. And I think it's high time that other podcasts start to recognize that besides just us.
Max's Big Moment in the Big Easy
Max, Rone, and Pug joined the show live from New Orleans in a state of pure, unadulterated euphoria. Max looked like a man who hadn't slept in a week and smelled like a "human fart," but he didn't care because his Birds are back on top. He was quick to point out that this wasn't just a lucky win, but the crowning achievement of an all-time great squad.
MaxThe 2024-2025 Philadelphia Eagles are an elite, all-time historic football team.
The Philadelphia Eagles of the 2024, 2025 season are a historic football team. Games that they have been healthy in that've lost one game. The Falcons game is the only real loss that they had all year... This fucking team is one of the best teams of all time.
Between the screaming and the technical difficulties with Max's microphone, Rone jumped in to explain the atmosphere in the Superdome. He noted that the narrative around the elite quarterbacks in the league needs a massive adjustment after Hurts thoroughly outplayed Mahomes on the biggest stage.
RoneJalen Hurts has surpassed Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen in quarterback rankings.
Jalen Hurts has to be talked about in the same way as the top couple quarterbacks in this league. He surpasses Joe Burrow, he surpasses Lamar Jackson, he surpasses Josh Allen. Not only did he do it, the stats were there to back it up and the hardware is there in the form of an MVP and the Lombardi.
Big Cat was so impressed with the performance that he didn't even push back on the Philadelphia bias for once, acknowledging that the Super Bowl MVP is currently sitting on the throne of the entire league.
Big CatJalen Hurts is currently the number one quarterback in the NFL.
I think right now [Jalen Hurts] is one. Yeah. Right now he's won. Yeah. Right now he's a Super Bowl MVP. He's won right now. He's number one. Number one right now.
To celebrate, the guys in New Orleans performed the grossest victory ritual in the history of the show: shoeys out of Max's medical boot. Rone and Pug both took a pull of warm beer from the same boot Max has been sweating in for weeks, proving that championship fever is a very real and very disgusting disease.
Super Bowl Observations and Kendrick’s Hate
Beyond the game itself, Big Cat was personally victimized by the presentation. He went on a tear about the new score bug Fox debuted for the game, comparing it to a low-budget stream graphic and calling it an insult to the viewers.
Big CatThe new Fox score bug for Super Bowl 59 was a war crime and shouldn't have been introduced during the championship game.
Fox bringing out that new score bug for the Super Bowl was a war crime. It was disgusting. It was just insane. Why do networks do that for the Super Bowl? This is something that you need like at least a full year to workshop... I don't know who came up with that, but that guy should be—I don't wanna say fired, but he should be because that was so bad.
As for the halftime show, the consensus was that Kendrick Lamar used the world's biggest platform to simply bully Drake for twenty minutes. While "Not Like Us" was the moment everyone wanted, the energy was more about a rap beef than a party. PFT has a suggestion for a classic rock pivot for next year.
PFT CommenterAC/DC should be the next Super Bowl halftime show performer.
I'm gonna agree with our good friend Michael Greer. He has a great idea for the next halftime show. AC DC. AC DC at halftime would fucking rock... just banger after banger.
Who's Back and Future Bets
In the fallout of the game, Hank is already looking at the end of an era for the Chiefs. Between the loss and the looming retirement rumors, he thinks we might have seen the last of the most famous tight end in the world on a football field.
HankTravis Kelce will retire this offseason.
I think he's done. I think Taytay says, Hey, let's, let's go start a family... imagine how much better the podcast would be if you retired too. [Big Cat: That would suck though... if you retire this year and then Mahomes wins another title].
Big Cat and PFT also entered into a massive $10,000 bet regarding the future of the league. Big Cat is so convinced that the grind of the NFL is too much for modern dynasties that he's betting his own money we never see a team even attempt a three-peat in the Super Bowl again.
Big CatNo team will ever get back to the Super Bowl for a three-peat attempt again.
I don't know if we'll ever have a team get back to a third Super Bowl going for a three-peat... I'd like to bet extremely against it. Never ha ever happened. Same. I I'll put that bet in. [The bet is] 10 grand. It's never gonna happen.
Finally, Who's Back featured some depressing stats for Sixers fans and a hilarious spin zone from Memes regarding the Jets' future. Since the Aaron Rodgers era seems to be hitting a brick wall in New York, Memes is ready to go all-in on a new savior under center.
MemesJameis Winston would lead the Jets to a #1 seed and a Super Bowl if he started 17 games.
If we're gonna suck, I would rather just have fun watching football and just go with Jameis Winston for 17 games... He said on the Pardon My Take interview that he wants to be a bridge quarterback and he wants to win a Super Bowl. I'm sold. He's the guy. starts all 17 games, number one seed, Super Bowl.
It was a hell of a football season, but as the guys head off for a much-needed vacation, we can all rest easy knowing Max is somewhere in New Orleans, soaking wet and wearing a medical boot full of beer.
