The Last Dance Review, Daniel Jeremiah on NFL Draft & Mount Flushmore of Toppings
It finally happened. For the first time in what feels like a decade, we all sat down at the same time to watch something that wasn't a press conference about a virus. The Last Dance episodes one and two dropped, and the energy was electric. Big Cat and PFT were locked in on the early Jordan era, specifically the sheer villainy of Jerry Krause. It’s rare to see a front office figure successfully make himself the common enemy of the greatest player ever, the best coach ever, and the most underpaid superstar ever all at once.
Big CatJerry Krause deserves credit for the Bulls dynasty but his ego was a detriment
[Jerry] Krause deserved more credit than he got but wanted more credit than he deserved. So he's constantly stuck in that spot where he is like, 'I should be getting more credit.' And he probably, in a weird way, should, but he wanted so much credit that it then became a detriment and a galvanizing force for those Bulls teams.
While the documentary highlighted the dysfunction, it also reminded everyone why we obsessed over MJ. The competitive nature was psychopathic in the best way possible. Big Cat noted that while many players tried to replicate the Jordan aura, only one really came close in the years that followed.
Big CatKobe Bryant was the closest player to Michael Jordan in terms of his competitive mean streak
I think Kobe [Bryant] gets interviewed for this and... he was the closest thing to MJ after MJ in terms of that competitive mean streak. At all costs, like 'I will do anything it takes to do it.'
NFL Draft Prep with Daniel Jeremiah
With the draft just days away, Daniel Jeremiah joined the show to cut through the smoke. Between technical difficulties and his kids running around, DJ gave us the real board. The biggest mystery remains Tua Tagovailoa's sliding stock and those suspiciously low Wonderlic scores. PFT thinks there's an agenda afoot to help a team like the Dolphins or Redskins land a steal.
PFT CommenterLeaked Wonderlic scores are a smokescreen designed to hurt Tua Tagovailoa's draft stock
They were also incorrect leaked Wonderlic scores all that which tells me it's smokescreen season for someone out there. Like someone wants the rest of the NFL to believe that Tua is dumb because they gave Tua a 13 in the first Wonderlic score. It's not true at all. That's not what he got.
DJ isn't buying the Herbert over Tua hype, even with the injury concerns. He made it clear that on tape, there is a massive gap between the Alabama star and the rest of the field, including the current options in Washington.
Daniel JeremiahTua Tagovailoa is a significantly better quarterback than Dwayne Haskins or Kyle Allen
I think if [Tua Tagovailoa] was totally healthy, no concerns, I would be standing on the soapbox and just take him. Like, he's much better than Dwayne Haskins. He's much better than Kyle Allen. Just take Tua.
Daniel JeremiahTua Tagovailoa is a much better player than Justin Herbert
I have [Tua Tagovailoa] as a much better player than [Justin] Herbert... when you start hearing those things that it's kind of up in the air, I'm like, okay, well, maybe the health thing... but I don't think it's close.
As for the rest of the first round, the guys looked at the landing spots for the project quarterbacks. DJ has a specific vision for where Jordan Love should end up if he wants to maximize his massive ceiling.
Daniel JeremiahJordan Love should sit behind a veteran like Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees for a few years
If you're going to script it, it's [Jordan Love] goes to Green Bay, sit behind [Aaron] Rogers. Go to New Orleans, sit behind Drew Brees. Like, those are good offensive coaches and they have time to develop there. That's why it makes some sense for him.
Before letting him go, DJ gave us his "reputation" pick. If this guy fails in the NFL, DJ is ready to take a pay cut.
Daniel JeremiahI would stake my reputation on Kenneth Murray being a successful NFL player
I'll give you one that I would take a pay cut for... linebacker Kenneth Murray from Oklahoma is just going to be a really, really good player. His wiring and intelligence, competitiveness, all that stuff—off the charts. He's just got too many things lined up for him not to be successful.
Who’s Back & Take Quake
Who's Back featured a heavy dose of draft anxiety. PFT is officially swaying back toward the home-grown talent for the Redskins, mostly because he’s heard some terrifying news about just how big Chase Young might actually get.
PFT CommenterI am officially back on the Redskins drafting Chase Young over Tua Tagovailoa
I'm back on Chase Young because I saw a report on Friday that he is actually like LeBron—his parents didn't stop growing until they were like 28 years old and so he's like 6'5" right now. There's a good chance that he could end up being like 6'8" or 6'9"... I'd be happy with either one right now, but I'm officially back on Chase Young.
In a special 4/20 edition of Take Quake, the guys looked at some of the most bizarre sports takes of the week. PFT defended the honor of baseball players who just want to spit in peace, while Big Cat found a way to spin Jim Harbaugh’s lack of success against Ohio State into a moral victory.
Big CatJim Harbaugh dominates the Ohio State rivalry if judged on values instead of scoreboards
I love that Jim Harbaugh has gotten his dick kicked in by Ohio State year in and year out. But if we're only judging on the values imparted to those he leads, he has dominated this rivalry. Michigan fans... are definitely going to count this as a national championship, hang the banner.
Mount Flushmore of Toppings
The segment that almost broke the show. Mount Flushmore of Toppings was a bloodbath of bad food opinions and "infant palates." Hank, true to form, revealed that he basically hates anything that adds flavor to food, while PFT started a one-man war against the anti-anchovy propaganda machine.
PFT CommenterAnchovies are actually delicious and only hated because of Ninja Turtles propaganda
Anchovies are not that bad. They only get a bad rap because of cartoons. You were told from a young age [by] the Ninja Turtles... That's actually not at all what anchovies are. They are delicious. They just taste like salt... There's been a tremendous propaganda effort against anchovies and sardines for most of my adult life.
HankKetchup is a disgusting mask for people with bad taste
Ketchup period. Ketchup is disgusting. Anyone who jumps—it's a mask. It's the same as buffalo sauce. If you need to have ketchup—like people that eat pizza but I need to have ketchup... it's just a masquerade. People that eat ketchup get addicted to it.
Big Cat took aim at the hipster staples and the toppings that ruin the structural integrity of a good meal. Whether it’s fruit on ice cream or seafood on pizza, the vitriol was flowing.
Big CatGummy bears are a terrible ice cream topping because they get rock hard
Gummy bears on ice cream... disgusting. They get so hard when you go to like frozen yogurt bars. The consistency of a gummy bear is completely ruined when it's put on ice cream and the flavors never match up.
Big CatShrimp is a disgusting pizza topping
Shrimp on pizza is disgusting... The texture of shrimp on pizza is very disgusting. It's like the cheese and the shrimp together just don't work. Cheese and shrimp? I wouldn't have cheese and shrimp.
To wrap up the show, Billy Football took us on a tour of his "Berserker Bunker." It’s part dorm room, part zoo, and part apocalypse shelter. Billy has been busy collecting kittens, gas masks, and axes while formulating a very specific list of dinosaurs he respects.
Billy FootballThe T-Rex is an absolute fraud of a dinosaur
T-Rex is an absolute fraud. We got Giganotosaurus, that's like the alpha of all the roars. It's just basically T-Rex with functional arms but like four times as big. Looks like a dragon.
If the world ends tomorrow, at least we know Billy will be safe in his basement with a sledgehammer and a bunch of cats named after Tiger King characters.
