The Miz on Vince McMahon Stories and George Kittle’s Co-Host Audition
PFT is currently hurtling toward Hong Kong on a 16-hour flight with zero Wi-Fi, leaving Big Cat and Hank to hold down the fort as they head to Minneapolis for the Final Four. The fear of PFT going dark for nearly an entire day is real, but the schedule waits for no man. Before the guys hit the road, they break down a Final Four that PFT thinks is going to be a bloodbath for one specific underdog.
PFT CommenterVirginia will beat Auburn by a lot
I like Bruce [Pearl]. I think that they're going to get beat by UVA. By a lot, I think. I think that UVA is a very, very, very, very, very good team with a fan base that I really don't want to see win the national championship. But I think they're a much better team, so I think it's going to be UVA.
PFT isn't just fading Auburn; he's also looking at the other side of the bracket and betting against a coaching legend based on a very specific, and probably personal, evaluation of his career.
PFT CommenterTexas Tech will beat Michigan State because Tom Izzo is overrated
I am going to go with Texas Tech... Based on Tom Izzo being overrated. So I'm taking Texas Tech. Also, their defense is really, really good. Admittedly, I've watched one of their conference tournament games, and then I've watched them every game in the NCAA tournament, and their defense is fucking awesome.
The Most Must-See Interview
Former WWE Champion The Miz stopped by the studio to talk about his transition from the Real World to the main event of WrestleMania. He shared an incredible story about Vince McMahon’s genius, explaining how Vince convinced him to dress as The Rock despite The Miz having zero resemblance to him. Apparently, the boss knows the audience better than they know themselves. Speaking of the audience, Miz opened up about the genuine aura of the most terrifying man in the business.
The MizThe Undertaker is the most intimidating person in the world
Undertaker is the most intimidating person. There is nothing more intimidating. When he steps in that ring, it's just magical. He's literally a dead man walking.
As a die-hard Cleveland fan, The Miz isn't just hopeful for the Browns; he is fully bought into the hype. He’s already making room on the mantle for a trophy now that Odell Beckham Jr. is in town and Baker Mayfield is at the helm.
The MizThe Cleveland Browns are going to the Super Bowl and they will win
When they got Odell, I called every one of my friends and said, we're going to the Super Bowl. There's no doubt... They're going to the Super Bowl and they will win. I am not dangerous. I woke up this morning and I felt dangerous, just like Baker Mayfield does every day.
He truly believes the culture in Cleveland has flipped, and it starts with the relationship between the quarterback and the coach.
The MizFreddie Kitchens and Baker Mayfield have a special chemistry that will make the Browns a winning team
I look at Baker Mayfield, his chemistry with Kitchens... now that [Kitchens] has the reins, I think he's going to be able to do it. I really do.
Respect the Stripes and April Panic
Baseball is back, which means Big Cat is already in mid-season form with his emotions. Despite it being the first week of April, the Cubs' bullpen has him reaching for the emergency supplies.
Big CatI am officially panicking about the Cubs in the first week of April
I've already taken the panic button out of my closet for the Cubs. It's April. I know. I don't care... If I have to watch Yu Darvish pitch more fucking walks and Jason Hayward hit into more double plays, I will smash the fuck out of that panic button.
The guys also discussed the recent trend of umpires and referees being more aggressive with technical fouls and ejections. While most fans hate when the refs take over, PFT actually finds the entertainment value in a ref who thinks he's the main character of the broadcast.
PFT CommenterReferees and umpires are more entertaining when they stand up for themselves
I like umps that stand up for themselves. I think that we've done umps a disservice recently... I like it when they stand up for themselves, when they have a thing like Country Joe West. It's kind of fun knowing that there's a guy out there who's absolutely not what people paid to watch that thinks that he's what people paid to watch.
Fyre Fest of the Week: The AAF
In a shocking turn of events for a league that seemed to be built on vibes and hope, the AAF collapsed this week. The stories coming out are pure chaos—players being kicked out of hotels and injured guys being left to pay their own medical bills. It’s the closest thing we’ve seen to a football version of the Fyre Festival.
PFT CommenterThe AAF was a Fire Fest run by people with no plan
It is hilarious to just imagine Bill Polian as being Billy McFarland. Like, drinking like rock stars, fucking like porn stars speech. I guarantee you Bill has said that at some point... Instead of cocaine and tequila on a private island, it was like tortilla chips and a nice beer, just hanging out watching tape.
George Kittle’s Emergency Audition
In case PFT doesn't make it back from Hong Kong, 49ers tight end George Kittle stopped by for an emergency co-host audition. Kittle is in town for WrestleMania and managed to stay humble despite Big Cat and Hank trying to get him to declare himself the king of the position. He still looks up to the legends, even if he's currently breaking records.
George KittleThere are many number one tight ends in the NFL, but Rob Gronkowski and Tony Gonzalez are the standard
Man, I think there's a lot of number one tight ends right now... I'm going to keep going now. It's working for me so far... [Who's the best?] Gronk and Tony [Gonzalez].
Kittle also talked about his love for the independent wrestling scene and his plans to hit about five different shows in one weekend. If the NFL thing doesn't work out, he's clearly ready for a career in the ring or behind a microphone.
Hopefully, PFT survives his flight so we don't have to start paying George in Skittles.
