Tom Crabtree on Aaron Rodgers, MACtion, and Dog Diarrhea
Tiger Woods is officially back, or at least he says he's not dead. While the fanboys are celebrating Phase 2 of Tiger's career, Big Cat is busy reminding everyone that Phase 1 ended with Navy SEAL workouts, fire hydrants, and a very expensive back injury.
Big CatTiger Woods fanboys are delusional if they think the old Tiger is coming back
I just can't stand the Tiger fanboys that think old Tiger's coming back. He said it's phase two, which is nice. He leaves out the point that Phase 1 stopped after he became addicted to working out with Navy SEALs, cheated on his wife, crashed into a fire hydrant and hurt his back a million times.
Speaking of people taking time off, Al Horford skipped a Celtics game for the birth of his child. Big Cat and PFT are having none of it. In a world where basketball is forever and kids are, well, statistically safer than they were in the 1700s, the guys think Al's priorities are a bit skewed.
Big CatAl Horford should not have missed a game for the birth of his child because basketball is forever
Al Horford skipped a game to be with his wife who is having a kid. But come on, man. They could have lost. It's a kid. Kids come and go. Basketball is forever.
Intimidating Jerseys and Giving Tuesday
Hank is finally back from his cruise, and to celebrate #GivingTuesday, Big Cat and PFT showered him with compliments about his hair and his ability to not lose a cell phone for three consecutive days. The good vibes didn't last long, though, as they pivoted into a Power Ranking of NFL jerseys you'd least want to see across from you in a stadium fight.
PFT CommenterThe Cowboys do not have an intimidating fan base.
I've been to a few Cowboys games. That's not a very intimidating fan base.
While Hank went with Aaron Hernandez (the ultimate throwback) and Suggs, PFT pointed out that anyone still rocking a Deshaun Jackson Eagles jersey is actively looking for a confrontation. On the flip side, if you want to look as non-threatening as possible, Big Cat has a specific recommendation.
Big CatA J.J. Watt jersey is the least intimidating jersey an NFL fan can wear.
The least intimidating jersey has to be a J.J. Watt jersey.
Tom Crabtree on the Packers Narrative
Former Packers tight end Tom Crabtree joined the show to discuss the state of Green Bay and, more importantly, his dog's current struggle with diarrhea. Crabtree isn't buying the narrative that Aaron Rodgers has lost his touch or become a weird loner in the locker room. According to Tom, Rodgers is still the guy who sends random Nickelback memes and asks about your kids.
Tom CrabtreeAaron Rodgers isn't washed; the Packers' defensive injuries are the real problem
I don't think [Rodgers] was ever gone. I mean, their defense kind of sucks. So that's not really helping his cause when he's throwing for 300 yards and three touchdowns and they still lost. I don't really get that whole narrative. They've got a lot of injuries, especially on defense.
Crabtree also cleared up some Wikipedia misinformation, confirming he is actually a lifelong Michigan fan despite being raised in Columbus. He didn't hold back on the Wolverines' recent loss to Ohio State, placing the blame squarely on the players rather than the refs.
Tom CrabtreeWilton Speight choked against Ohio State and is more to blame for the loss than the officiating.
Speight kind of blew it... He was choking about every series. He's tripping on his own feet, he's fumbling, he's throwing picks... I'm not on board with the whole officiating thing. I think that's ridiculous.
Before letting him go, the guys asked if there was any price that could get the retired tight end back on the field. Turns out, everyone has a number, especially when the Packers' depth chart is looking thin.
Tom CrabtreeI would un-retire and return to the Packers if they offered $1 million per game
If the Green Bay Packers called you up tomorrow and said, we'll give you a million dollars a game. Come back for the rest of the season. You doing it? Yeah, yeah, I'm doing that. I am un-retiring, yeah. If they're doing that, I'm back.
Hot Seat, Cool Throne and PR 101
Hot Seat belongs to the "C-word" (Christmas) and anyone complaining about Thursday Night Football. Big Cat is a firm believer that more football is always better, regardless of the quality of the Color Rush matchup.
Big CatMore football is always better, so everyone complaining about Thursday Night Football should shut up
I would need people on Twitter, all the nerds out there who keep complaining about Thursday night: Shut up. More football is always better. Don't do this. You're ruining it. I hate people who are like, Thursday night football sucks. Guess what? It's better than no football.
In a classic PR 101 segment, the guys checked in on their old friend Johnny Manziel, who is being sued for allegedly breaking a bartender's nose. For Big Cat, this is just a vital sign that Johnny is still out there doing Johnny things.
Big CatJohnny Manziel needs to get sued or arrested every few months just to let us know he's alive
Johnny Manziel is being sued because apparently he broke some bartender's nose. Good to know Johnny Manziel is still alive. We need him to get sued or arrested every few months to let us know that he's alive.
PFT also dropped a massive 'Stay Woke' linking NFL team success to the recent election results. It turns out that if your team sucks, you're probably ready to vote for literally anyone else to run the country.
PFT CommenterVoters are more likely to support political change when their local NFL team is losing
When your football team is good, you're more likely to vote for an incumbent. And when your football team's bad, you're more likely to vote for a new guy. The Jaguars and Dolphins sucked up until Election Day. Wisconsin voted Trump. Steelers sucked at the start of the year, Pennsylvania voted Trump. Carolina Panthers suck, North Carolina voted for Trump too.
To wrap up the show, the guys looked at the LA Rams, where Jeff Fisher continues to be the ultimate survivor. Despite a record that would get anyone else fired, the Rams' front office seems convinced that Fisher is doing a "model job" of existing.
PFT CommenterThe Rams will announce an extension for Jeff Fisher immediately following their next win
Right now, after the Rams' next win, they're going to announce the extension. He's getting out in front of the story right now, laying a nice mattress down so that nobody's shocked. Next win of the Rams, they're going to use that as the premise to announce an extension.
Don't be the guy with the tie around your head at the wedding this weekend.
