Will Compton and Taylor Lewan on Draft Memories, Big Ten Fraudulence, and the Bruins' Historic Choke
A massive Monday episode starts with a heavy dose of Boston schadenfreude as the Bruins managed to flush the greatest regular season in NHL history down the toilet. Hank is in a dark place, and the rest of the guys are more than happy to help him explore those depths. PFT wasted no time labeling the President’s Trophy winners as the ultimate letdown.
PFT CommenterThe 2022-23 Boston Bruins are the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL
How do you feel about your Boston Bruins being the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL? After being the President's Cup trophy winner, they had the most wins in NHL history this year... You lost in the first round to Jake [Marsh]'s Florida Panthers.
Hank didn't have much of a defense, admitting that watching his team get booted by Jake Marsh’s Florida Panthers felt like a step back for the entire city of Boston.
HankThe Bruins' historic season was an abject failure
I don't know how he [Giannis] could say that that was a complete abject failure. It just hurt a lot... most points of all time, most wins of all time... it's a complete failure.
Big Cat was feeling the pain of a Game 7 overtime loss, noting that the finality of it all is what makes it so brutal.
Big CatGame 7 playoff hockey is the cruelest thing in all of sports.
Game seven playoff hockey, there's nothing like it in sports. Game seven playoff hockey overtime. It is the cruelest thing in all sports... you sit there and be like, how is it over? Like, keep this game going. This is not fair.
Hank is even worried about how this might bleed over into the Celtics' run, fearing the "anything can happen" vibe is officially loose in the streets of Boston.
HankThe Bruins' collapse sets a bad tone for the Celtics' playoff run and puts unnecessary pressure on the city.
This is bad for the Celtics. This is like, as a city as a whole. You're both, you know, top seeds... the fact that the Bruins lost it almost kind of like sets the tone of like, anything can happen and that's not where you wanna be.
Steph Curry and the End of Dillon Brooks
While the Bruins were choking, Steph Curry was reminding everyone why he’s a god-tier talent by dropping 50 on the Kings in a Game 7. Big Cat is ready to put him in the Pantheon, especially if he manages to add another ring to the collection this year.
Big CatIf Steph Curry wins another ring without Kevin Durant, Durant's legacy becomes a barnacle on Steph's career.
If the Warriors won the title this year, that would be objectively funny that Steph would've five and KD would've two and Steph would've more without KD than with him. And it's like [Durant] is like almost a little barnacle on Steph the Titanic that is Steph and his career.
PFT took it a step further, suggesting that the upcoming Lakers-Warriors series is actually a battle for the silver medal in the all-time rankings.
PFT CommenterIf Steph Curry beats LeBron James in the second round, he moves to #2 all-time
I'm personally putting LeBron's legacy on the line in this matchup against Steph Curry. So if Steph beats him, Steph goes up to number two all time as far as I'm concerned.
On the other end of the spectrum, Dillon Brooks has officially entered the "get ready to learn Chinese" phase of his career. After poking the bear and losing by 40, Big Cat thinks the Memphis villain might be broken beyond repair.
Big CatDillon Brooks' career might be over mentally after this disastrous playoff performance.
No one had a worse playoff performance start to finish than Dillon Brooks. He is a complete joke... I actually think he'll have a career, but I wouldn't be shocked if his career is just over because of this. Like mentally, I know that's crazy to say, but he could not have had a worse playoffs.
NFL Draft and the Georgia Bulldogs North
The guys recapped the NFL Draft, which mostly consisted of the Philadelphia Eagles drafting every single person who has ever breathed the air in Athens, Georgia. PFT found his new favorite prospect in Pittsburgh's latest addition.
PFT CommenterDarnell Washington is going to be a star and NFL teams were morons for not taking him higher.
I think I've got my guy that I'm gonna be calling the next baby Gronk. And it is another Georgia guy. It's Darnell Washington. I think that dude, he got drafted by the Steelers I think in three years we're gonna be like, wow. We were all huge morons for not taking that guy higher.
We also touched on the Giants/Padres series in Mexico City, which looked more like a Home Run Derby than a professional baseball game. Big Cat has seen enough and wants to make high-altitude baseball a global requirement.
Big CatEvery MLB team should be required to play a series in Mexico City
Every team should have to play like a series in Mexico City because it was awesome... The Giants and Padres played in Mexico City, which is 2000 feet higher than Denver. And on Saturday it was like a softball game. There were 11 home runs.
Will Compton and Taylor Lewan In Studio
The Bus boys joined the show for a marathon session covering everything from draft night anxiety to the biological wonders of BPC-157. Taylor Lewan shared his draft memories, including his mom nearly stealing the spotlight on the red carpet, and his immediate distrust of Titans draft pick Will Levis.
Taylor LewanWill Levis is untrustworthy because he puts mayonnaise in his coffee.
Where I go from that means that you're an individual and you put mayonnaise in your coffee. You just, you can't be a trustworthy individual. And I hope the Titans don't take [him].
The conversation inevitably turned to Big Ten football, where Taylor and Will are at total odds over the future of their respective programs. Taylor is all-in on the Matt Rule era in Lincoln.
Taylor LewanNebraska will be playing for Big 10 championships within 3 to 5 years under Matt Rule
I do believe three to five years from now, Nebraska's playing for Big 10 championships. Matt Rule is the answer here.
However, the real heat came when discussing Michigan. Will Compton isn't buying the hype, even after the Wolverines' back-to-back wins over Ohio State.
Will ComptonMichigan is the most fraudulent team in college football
I think there's an argument that Michigan is the most fraudulent team in college football... because they didn't win that [TCU] game... we're on the climb, Willie and I are on the climb.
Taylor, ever the Michigan man, doubled down on Jim Harbaugh’s squad, predicting a massive season for the boys in Ann Arbor.
Taylor LewanMichigan will win the National Championship next year.
I think Michigan wins it next year. They've done great with the transfer portal. Our running back stayed, JJ McCarthy is back... he's gonna win the whole thing next year.
The interview wrapped up with a deep dive into recovery methods and "biohacking." Will and Taylor both swore by the benefits of BPC-157, a recently banned substance that Taylor calls a miracle for inflammation.
Taylor LewanBPC-157 is a wonder drug for injury recovery with no downsides
BPC-157 is a wonder drug... inflammation, look, pain relief... no downside. It really is one of the best things you can do... I had an ankle sprain, I would literally put it right in my ankle and three days later it was fine.
Always remember to check your bank account after a nap to see if it looks like a phone number.
