While NHL players are taping ankles and icing bruises, TNT's Paul Bissonnette is taping up for something very different, gout. Yes, gout. The Spittin' Chiclets star and fan-favorite analyst says he's been battling a brutal foot flare-up caused by too many playoff steaks.
But don't worry, he's still 'probable' for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, and fans are loving every second of this very on-brand chaos.
Paul Bissonnette reveals he's fighting off gout after too many steaks during playoff coverage
Bissonnette shared the story on the
Spittin' Chiclets
podcast, saying he initially thought he had a stress fracture in his foot. But after a doctor's visit, the verdict was way more... old-school. Gout. The diagnosis came after what Biz called an 'NHL on TNT Steak Tour,' where he was eating multiple steaks a night while covering games.
Naturally, he didn't shy away from the drama, declaring on social media,
'Forget State Tax. I'm now at war with Steak Tax.'
Once the news hit Twitter (X), fans ran with it like it was a legit Game 1 injury update. TNT even leaned into the bit, posting a graphic labeling Bissonnette as "PROBABLE" for Game 1 due to gout, complete with 🚨 emojis and all.
It's the kind of sports media chaos fans eat up.
While the Panthers and Oilers prep for war on the ice, the TNT desk is now its own battlefield. Biz Nasty might not be scoring goals, but he's certainly stealing the headlines. And honestly? Gout becoming a trending topic during the Stanley Cup Final was not on our bingo card.
Paul Bissonnette is making sure gout won't bench him even if he has to limp into the TNT studio with ice packs and painkillers. The only thing more dramatic than the Stanley Cup Final might just be Biz's playoff diet.
