NFL Week 2, Fastest 2 Minutes, The Bears Suck Again, The Giants/Cowboys Game Of The Day, Chiefs In Trouble? + Who's Back Of The Week

18:58Good job, Ryan Pohl. Yeah, he got Ben Johnson. He's an excellent – he's like a headhunter.

19:02PFT Commenter:Right. But the Bears also – and it's early, so I'm going to have patience with Ben Johnson. I'm not going to anyone who's like he he's a bad coach after two games. That's crazy. But they are not. They're playing like dog shit and they're very penalized. They had eight penalties for 50 yards today, which actually was a step in the right direction because it was 12 for 127 on Monday Night Football. And I like Ryan Bowles, the guy, but this is just you can't you. How can you look at this record and this roster and have this many guys that you drafted in the first three rounds not contributing? like that's how this works in the NFL you draft when you draft guys in the first round in the second round they have to contribute right away otherwise what are you doing it is crazy to think that on Thanksgiving last year this game was way more competitive yeah and Bears should have won that game and this this game had like I think it's rotten to the core in a way because this game had a very similar vibe of the uh after the Hail Mary last year where the team quit it felt like the team kind of quit after halftime when the refs kind of fucked up that spotting of the ball obviously didn't matter the lines were going to win this game 100 times out of 100 today but then they score with like three seconds left it felt like the team quit and so what's what's the fix for that like you got to just you're at the end of a rebuild and now you have to clean it out again because it just doesn't feel like they have fight yeah the other thing i could say would be a positive takeaway deandre swift did not look bad when he was running the ball no yeah he ran he ran hard and then yeah at the end of the first half i was confused by that because it seemed like their explanation they let the first of all they let the giants run a play so what happened was lions yeah yeah yeah the lions uh jerry goff hit tesla down the sideline for a one another one-handed catch yeah from the rookie that now has the two craziest first catches of all time in nfl history because he had that one-hander last week uh for a touchdown so he catches it with one hand then the lions ran a play where they spiked it with what looked to be like half second left on the clock so they could kick a field goal.

21:04Then the refs went back and reviewed the play before the spike and said, yeah, the clock operator screwed it up, so we're going to do a 10-second runoff. You still have six seconds left. I don't understand that because after you run the play where you spike it.

21:19PFT Commenter:They screwed it up. The refs screwed up the spotting. He didn't realize that he was down in bounds. Whatever. It doesn't matter. None of this matters. What I was going to say is because this is the second time that's happened in two weeks where they've reviewed a play that by the rule, you shouldn't be allowed to review, but ultimately you make the right decision because you want the plays on the field to matter and be called right. The NFL just needs to say you can only review the last play before the next play unless the next play is a spike because that's the second time that it's happened.

21:51Teams run up to the ball too quick, and it screws everything up. So just put that in the rule book.

21:56PFT Commenter:And I was mad in the moment because it was the difference of, At halftime, it was going to be a seven-point game. So it was like, oh, we can fight. But it doesn't fucking matter. The Lions were so much better. And then the Bears quit. And they stink. And I don't know. They're a four-win team at most. I don't know what. I'm happy I didn't get it. I'm happy that every time you guys prodded me trying to get more than six out of ten, I didn't go up from that. Because, yeah, I looked through their schedule earlier. I mean, who are they going to beat? Okay, I'll give you some wins. Cowboys at home The Cowboys offense is awesome The Cowboys offense is awesome The Cowboys, if the Bears play Can I read this stat for you again?

22:37PFT Commenter:In the last five quarters the Bears have given up 694 yards And 73 points Okay That's not good The Cowboys offense is going to light us up Saints at home Maybe, Saints fight The Saints actually fight where the Bears don't At the Bengals Commander's revenge game Jake Browning is fine Home against the Giants Giants probably Jackson Dart will be awesome by then Browns at home Maybe that might be Dylan Gabriel Deshaun might come back Packers at home No They haven't beaten you at home this year Nothing on this list makes you think They're not a good team right now Hopefully Ben Johnson Gets things going in the right direction And maybe Caleb He wasn't the major problem today I know he's the easy scapegoat And he had some nice throws And he did have the sacks And the interception But he had a couple where he let it rip Hopefully he gets better and better And then maybe they can start playing some competent football But the defense is a joke And they've It's crazy The amount of resources The amount of money that's been spent And the draft capital And everything to have this type of output Is a fucking joke I forgot that you had the number one pick overall twice.

23:56PFT Commenter:Twice. I forgot about that. And they basically got rid of everyone and cleared the whole balance book and had nothing but cap space. It's a joke. So, yeah. What are you going to do? They suck. And until they start to show that they don't suck, I'm going to keep saying they suck. Well, also, they did have the number one pick twice, but they also traded the number one pick one of those times for a pick that ended up being the future number one pick. And more picks. So they turned the number one overall pick into the next number one overall pick. Again, no pro bowlers. No pro bowlers. No pro bowlers selected by Ryan Pulse through four years.

24:32PFT Commenter:That's kind of hard to do, especially considering how many guys just make the pro bowl because people sit out. Yeah. Like, Ryan Pace was way better, the guy who preceded him. And he put the Bears in a bad spot, but he was way better of a GM through whatever, four years. It's crazy. It's crazy. So it's dark times. It's kind of weird because the Bears are still in there. This was a rebuilding year, no matter what, because you have Ben Johnson as a first-year head coach. Caleb being on a second year makes it tough to call it a rebuilding year because this is the step-forward year. It's the fourth year of a rebuild.

25:11PFT Commenter:You can't do rebuilding forever. You eventually have to be like, hey, you've made all these picks. You've created this roster. There has to be some accountability. It has to start showing up on the field. I didn't expect the Bears to be a playoff team this year, but it had to be a step forward because you can't just say every year's a rebuilding year. It's been four years. They've been rebuilding that Chicago highway for the last four years. You know what I'm saying? You can't just say rebuilding year every year even though they've had all these picks and all these resources. How long is his contract for?

25:42PFT Commenter:Who knows? I don't think they announced five years probably. So now this would be a real test if George McCaskey can stop reffing youth soccer and maybe be like hey we should just eat this contract and let ben johnson run the team and again that might end up bad too but at least wait the the alternative is to just keep doing the bad thing that's been happened that's been bad for four years or maybe try something new maybe just have the owner be the gm like jerry jones man he doesn't know football that's the problem so yeah it's a disaster and lions are good so credit to the lions they they look like they're going to be just fine and you could tell by like in the locker room this was a meaningful win for them and like the chip on the shoulder and it also by the transitive property the packers might be really really fucking good they could be yeah uh i think that the nfl is just so much week to week packers are really good we know that they're a very good team but i think the lines weren't as bad as they looked week one no of course they're not the bears are as bad as they look today and the lion jared goff is always scoring 50 points yeah it's it's just like in his dna yeah the guy is really good at playing quarterback put respect on jerry goff's name i agree yeah he played perfect quarterbacking today like perfect and he was he was just seeing everything amon ross an absolute monster like every single time he was across the middle he would catch and just you know an extra 20 yards did jared apologize to you uh no i texted him i just said at least at least my friend uh can benefit from the dumpster fire of this organization he hasn't hit me back yet i only did i only texted him like 20 minutes ago so we'll see i'm sure he will he'll be like it's not that bad but it It is.

27:19PFT Commenter:It's pretty bad. Yeah. All right. Next one. Really great game. Bengals 31, Jaguars 27. It's a great game. Big story, though. Joe Burrow, toe injury out for possibly maybe the rest of the season. So, yeah. The toe. Turf toe is one of the injuries that they should rebrand. They got a bad marketing team for turf toe because turf toe, like, just cut your foot off. It's really like a bottom of the foot injury. and if your toe is fucked up like they say that joe burrow's toe might be fucked up he might be done for the entire year yeah sucks sucks for bangles fans it also is just another reminder that you know remember when joe burrow gave the speech about the windows always open this is what happens it's just it's every every year in the nfl is so fleeting and so random and it sucks a lot for joe burrow i hope he i hope he's able to figure out a way to to still play this year but i think what i see i saw three months possibly dr dan told me that it might need surgery because it's grade three they said that he's gonna consider surgery so it's bad grade three would mean that it was like completely torn yeah which means yes surgery and then uh i saw another doctor online saying this is season ending it's not really three months three months is like the most optimistic time frame so that sucks for bangles fans joe burrow is so fun to watch he played so good last year i was looking forward to seeing him play again this year with maybe a better defense and seeing what they could do that sucks it turns out you got a decent backup i think i think jake browning is is okay but yeah he did he did i loved his last drive he also threw three picks there's a there's a guy out there there's a guy out there he's not getting playing time anytime soon talking about kirk cousins oh i could talk about kirk cousins that would be one of them but then the other is jamis oh i thought you're calling cavernick imagine jamis with those weapons jamis those who have think about it think about jamis with t higgins jamis with jamar chase that's what i want that's what the people want to see yeah so give the people what they want and jake browning was good on that last drive he he took the bengals 15 uh play 92 yards uh down three he was like nine for 13 for 65 yards on that drive there was a very controversial pass interference call on Travis Hunter, which was not pass interference.

29:31PFT Commenter:I think we can all agree that just wasn't pass interference. That was almost perfect defensive football. And so there's a little bit, I mean, they just fucked that up. I don't know what to say. Like he made a great play on the ball at the last second. Didn't hold him or anything. The Jaguars got screwed. Yeah. And also I'm going to defend Liam Cohen for a second. Okay. So he decided to go for it in fourth and five. What was the exact scenario there, guys? They were up three, I believe, and they went for it on fourth and five, deep inside the Bengals' territory. They didn't get it. Then the Bengals go and the Bengals win the game, and they cover.

30:13Sorry, Max. Liam Cohen, after the game, said, Analects tell me 100 % of the time that is the right call because you want to make them have to score a touchdown, essentially. And I'm going to defend them. And there's nobody I can say that I believe in Liam Cohen, but there's nobody better to make the case than when Jason Garrett gets on TV and says how strongly he disagrees with Liam Cohen's decision. Like he was smiling. He's like these newfangled stats numbers guys. So happy to see them get burned by this because sometimes a coach has to go with his gut. Jason Garrett absolutely loved the fact that it didn't work because Jason Garrett would not have gone for it.

30:50PFT Commenter:So is he saying that if you kick the field goal, then you only lose by one? He said that it was a much easier path for Jake Browning to go down the field knowing that he also could get a field goal. Got it. Yeah. Got it. Which makes no sense. Oh, no, sorry. It was a tie game. Oh, it was a tie game. Right? No, they were down three. No, the Jaguars were up three. So they could have made it up six. Yeah, you've got to go for it there. You win the game. If you get that, you win the game. He said the only reason Jake Browning scored a touchdown was because he knew that he also could have gotten a field goal.

31:31And if he was driving knowing he needed to get a touchdown, it wouldn't have been as successful. Which makes no sense.

31:37PFT Commenter:And I actually think it's the reverse. When you're down six, you now have all four downs for the rest of the drive because you know you have to score a touchdown. Just hearing Jason Garrett talk about it, It was like, I know exactly what you're thinking, Jason. You would not have gone for it. That's why you're not a coach anymore. Also, was this, what were you going to say? Trouble in paradise? Well, oh, with Liam Cohn and Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, there was a little back and forth that went on. I would say the real trouble in paradise is, is Brian Thomas Jr. okay? Because that was a weird game from him.

32:08PFT Commenter:There were so many alligator arms from the end of the day. And he does not want to get hit. One of them directly led to an interception. I think another one, I think it might have been the fourth and five when he alligator armed another time. It feels like something's up with that. Yeah. Well, he doesn't practice hard for Pete Prisco. And he did have like a second half, I think, last week where he got mad at Trevor Lawrence for not getting the ball. I think they might not be on the same page. Yeah. And then by extension now I think Trevor might be in Liam Cohen's doghouse because he waved him off.

32:47They got into a little argument that was on camera on the field. And also after the game last week, Liam Cohen said not nice things about Trevor Lawrence. Yeah. He said, what did he say, he didn't have a great third quarter. We need to be more accurate. I like that from Cohen, though, using the term we. Yeah. Like we need to be more accurate at throwing the football. All of us. It's both of them together.

33:07PFT Commenter:Yeah, Brian Thomas Jr. had eight of Trevor Lawrence's 18 incompletions were targets to Brian Thomas Jr. I don't know what it is, but if you watch some of this game and you saw some of the plays, I don't think he wants to get hit. And that's not going to – and I know some people were like, well, there's been hospital passes to him. I get it, but like some of these drops and some of these plays, this was the – yeah, the interception was bad. He basically – you could see it. It hit his hands, and he felt someone coming after him, and he kind of basically bailed on the entire play at the last second.

33:42PFT Commenter:Like slow down. And it went right into, yeah, Bengals players' hands. Yeah, that's not good. Yeah. There's going to be some fallout. I don't know. Liam Cohen's got his work cut out for him. So I have a weird Jake Browning stat for you, too, that might be ominous for the Jaguars. So if you remember two years ago, I believe it was, yeah, two years ago, The Jaguars were 8-3, feeling good. Monday Night Football, Jake Browning beat them in overtime. And from that moment on, the Jaguars have gone 5-18. And then you had this year, they win the opening week. They're feeling good. Liam Cohn, Jake Browning beats them.

34:23PFT Commenter:The Jaguars might be in a free fall again just because of Jake Browning. Because of Browning. Yeah. He basically started the last free fall. Remember that game for many, many reasons. Yeah. Including some of the camera angles that they use for that one The Bengals however they're 2-0 That's the first time since 2018 that they've been 2-0 It feels like This is a week that they do make a move though You think they're going to try to get someone? Kirk Cousins might not be a bad option Jake Browning isn't bad He's also an AWL Yeah well I think they're kidding themselves if they think that they have a chance To win playoff games with Jake Browning Yeah but Joe Burrow might be back Joe Burrow I don't know He's getting a second opinion He could be bad.

35:01He needs to go to a really shitty doctor to get the second opinion.

35:04PFT Commenter:They also have a really hard schedule coming up. They play at the Vikings, at the Broncos, Lions, Packers. I think they're going to try to make a move. Jameis would be so much fun. By the way, shout out Jamar Chase. He is just the best. 14 catches, 158 yards, and a touchdown. That's kind of like the, hey, we could maybe win with Jake Browning because we have Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. Well, it's going to be just throw the ball to Jamar. Jake, this is how you do it. If you want a chance, just force feed Jamar like a foie gras goose, and let's see what the offense can do. I like the idea of saying, chilling with Harambe, Jameis Winston, Cincinnati.

35:40I do too. That's close enough.

35:42PFT Commenter:Oh, I should also say, I think pound for pound, my favorite play in football, the funniest play possible in football, is when a quarterback runs so far past the line of scrimmage and still throws it. Trevor Lawrence had one today that was like five yards past. It was so funny. And then when they look around like, what? Yeah. What did I do? It's so, so funny. It's my favorite thing. Also, this game had a green dildo thrown onto the field, and the refs thought that it was a flag. The graphics. The graphics thought it was a flag. They put up the flag right away. It was a perfectly timed dildo toss right after a touchdown.

36:18I would support having a green dildo icon that pops up on the screen. Yeah, that would be nice. It happens enough so that way the people at home know exactly what it was. We don't think it was a flag.

36:26PFT Commenter:What happens if a green dildo gets thrown in a Nickelodeon game? Slime. You get slimed. Oh, no, that was just slime. If you hit somebody, you get slimed, yeah. That was just slime. I hope that – do I hope that happens or do I hope that doesn't happen? Well, it's a regular NFL game, so it's not like any different. They probably would just ignore it. Yeah, they probably will have a protocol. They probably will have a situation. It's probably on like a three-second delay. Yeah. Just in case something weird – like if there's a fight, what are they going to do in the Nickelodeon game? Yeah. If the green dildo, they go to fight protocol.

36:57PFT Commenter:They got to make sure they have something to talk about. Yeah. SpongeBob comes and picks it up. Yeah. With a stinky bubble. Is that SpongeBob? Stinky bubble? Mm-hmm. Yeah, credit to Bengals, but terrible news for the Bengals. Like, this was a, we're 2-0, but holy shit, not again. Because it sucks. Two times in the last three years that Joe Burrow's going to miss a significant amount of time. Yeah, it's a bummer. Kirk Cousins would make a lot of sense. Kirk Cousins would make sense. Jameis would be so much fun. You're right. Kirk Cousins, if you're thinking about who to settle down with as opposed to who to have a fun time with, Kirk Cousins makes sense to settle down, although he'd look weird in that helmet.

37:32I don't know how that would end up working.

37:34PFT Commenter:Jameis with these receivers, though. He might go 5 ,000 yards, even if he showed up week three. I think if Jameis Winston joins the Bengals, mark this down, he's going to break, what's his name, Norm Van Brocklin, his single-game passing record, which has stood since the 50s, which is only like 550 that's a lot of yards 550 yards but still shocking to me that that hasn't been broken since then yeah uh okay speaking of we had the game of the early slate the cowboys giants cowboys 40 giants 37 russell wilson heard all the noise because russell wilson was two yards shy of his career high 450 yards 30 for 41 deep ball magic three touchdowns and then a really bad interception in overtime that cost him well it's because his moon ball is just so catchable it is even for defensive backs sometimes big cat if i were to ask you who the two league leaders and passing yards are who would you guess russell wilson yes he is number one and joe flacco daniel joe oh okay to the giants to the giants russell wilson leads the league in passing yards right now he did look good today when he was mailing it out and uh i i thought jackson dart looked pretty good too.

38:51For his one or two plays? Yeah, for his one or two plays he had some great handoffs. One carry for negative three yards for Jackson Darn. There we go.

39:01PFT Commenter:The handoffs were there. Malik Nabors was sensational. This game was so much fun. There was 41 points scored in the fourth quarter. 41 points scored in the fourth quarter. And it was Brandon Aubrey who's an absolute stud. I know we had this discussion. I think we mentioned his name when we talked about the best kicker in football being Boswell, and then we said maybe also Aubrey. Aubrey, I think, is the best kicker because 64-yarder at the end of regulation, it looks so easy for him. It looks so easy. It was good. It had distance for another, like, 10 yards easily. Yeah, it would have been good from 70.

39:34It was crazy. It was an awesome kick. He just doesn't miss. If you were to do a redraft of players and let's take all the quarterbacks out of it, how high would Brandon Aubrey go?

39:45PFT Commenter:Ryan Poles would take him in the first round. Take him 1-1. Like, everyone is a free agent. I think you could make a case he could be a first-round pick. No. Not even close. I appreciate it because he is awesome. I'm talking non-quarterbacks. I know exactly what you said. Because he won this game. I know exactly what you said. He literally won this game. No chance. For the Dallas Cowboys. No chance, BFT. Listen, Brandon Aubrey's awesome. Yeah. That is a crazy statement. Think about the Offensive and defensive line They would just be A run on the best The best guys If you took a quarterback How many more positions are we going to raise If you just drafted Specialists he would be one overall Of course It's not even close I don't think it's crazy If he entered the NFL draft next year If somehow he got reclassified back and he wasn't in the NFL, was eligible to be drafted, there would be a team that would take him in the second round?

40:50Ah, I don't know. Yes. Yes. A hundred percent. Okay. There would be a team that would take him in the second round.

40:56PFT Commenter:Yeah. I don't know. I mean, he's a really good kicker, but I still think teams would probably still take linemen first. Guys like that. I'm saying - You build your franchise. I'm saying he is so much better than any other kicker in the NFL. It's crazy. Well, I mean, Boswell's really fucking good. Boswell's really good. I don't know if the difference between Aubrey and Boswell is significant enough that he would be, like, no doubt second rounder. Look up and see what are Boswell's stats from 50-plus because Aubrey's stats from 50-plus are nuts. I think he's, like, 80 % from 50 yards plus. Yeah, he's been awesome.

41:36PFT Commenter:I mean, maybe he'd go second round. But, yeah, he would definitely not be a first rounder if you drafted the entire NFL without quarterback. There's just no way. Who'd you take in the first round? Like every single edge rusher and left tackle. Jalen Hurts. Oh, because he's not a quarterback? I like that. Max, you like that? We'll get to that. Just say we won the game. Max, do you like that? I think Boswell's also very good from 50 plus. He is. Yeah, yeah. No, he's very good from 50 plus. According to AI, he's 43 of his last 52 attempts from 50 plus. That's really good from 50 plus. Yeah, no, Aubrey just makes it look easy.

42:12PFT Commenter:That's the thing, too. It doesn't look like he's trying really hard when he kicks. Yeah, I think he's also got a stronger leg. But also, with the Giants, they're very frustrating because they should have won this game. Oh, yeah. They definitely should have won this game. They had 160 yards of penalties, 14 penalties for 160 yards. Now, I think, like, 60 of them were on the same play and player. But, yeah. Okay. Well, they also... James Hudson was penalized four times on one possession. He had 40 yards of penalties on one possession. Was that the offensive lineman that sat down? Yeah. He had the funniest play of the day by far.

42:49Yes. His right slap, it was like a bitch slap that he put on the defensive end, just wound up and whacked the fuck out of the side of his face. And then he got upset for being penalized. I wish that play was legal. Deacon Jones used to do it as a defensive end for a long time. But this was just straight up a punch that he gave. Watch this.

43:09PFT Commenter:boom he smashed him absolutely smashed him i do you think there's um by the way dak prescott that was his 14th straight win against the giants that's the second longest record uh against one single opponent uh win record against one single opponent bob greasy number one bob greasy had 17 wins against the bills from 1968 to 1979 tom brady had 13 straight wins versus the bills from 2003 to 2010 so Dak Prescott 14 straight that's crazy he just beats the Giants every single time um I love watching Cam Scatterboo play yeah he's gonna he's gonna be a good NFL player wrecking ball it's so fun he loves contact runs into people just flip throws his body around and he's so much bigger and stronger than a lot of the guys that are trying to tackle him they need to give him more touches yeah do you guys think uh Jerry Jones had any second thoughts about Micah Parsons through two games, considering the fact his offense, the Cowboys' offense is very good.

44:10PFT Commenter:It looks explosive. The Giants only had 84 yards rushing today, Big Cat. Oh, okay. So they stopped the run. They stopped the run. They stopped the run. Yes. They stopped the run. And I know the Cowboys do have some injuries on defense, but still. And they signed Clowney. They did sign Clowney, so help on the way. Their offense is awesome, and they're just going to be in these shootout games, and Micah Parsons might have been able to help. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. That remains to be seen. Yeah. But, like, it would be very funny if, like, without Micah Parsons, the Cowboys get to, like, the NFC Championship game and lose in a shootout to the Packers because they don't have Micah Parsons.

44:49PFT Commenter:That would be very funny. And it's like, Jerry, you've been searching for this Super Bowl appearance for the last 30 years, and you literally traded him away right before the season started. I agree. That would be very funny. I don't think the Cowboys are that good, but still, Their offense is like they have a ton of guys that are contributing and their run game looks good and Dak looks healthy. Max, I got a question for you as a fellow NFC East guy. Yep. I know we were both rooting for a tie. That would have been the best outcome for us. But with Micah Parsons being traded to the Packers, could you make the argument that that was actually worse for us than it was having him in the division and having to play him twice a year?

45:25I said this to you on Thursday night. I was like, it's bullshit that Dak Prescott finally gets traded away from the division, and then you play him. Micah Parsons. Yeah, Micah Parsons gets traded away from the division. You have to play him before you would have had to play him on the Cowboys. I'm not even talking about that. I'm just saying for a team like the Eagles, and maybe next year for the Commanders that's thinking Soupy, you're probably going to have to go through the Green Bay Packers.

45:48PFT Commenter:Correct. To get there, right? Next year, Soupy? To have Micah Parsons. Next year. Next year. I said next year. Yeah, no, I know. That was a funny slip-in. Said next year. But then you have to worry about the Packers more because they're way more of a present threat than the Cowboys to beat you in the playoffs. And so having him is actually, that's bad. I wish that the Cowboys hadn't done that. That's advanced planning by you. No, I agree with that take. I agree with that take. Right now, I think I would prefer Micah Parsons on the Cowboys than the Packers. I would too. Yeah. Jerry Jones fucked the entire division over.

46:25Yeah. That's probably why he did it. The conference, you mean? Well, the division. Oh, the division. But the conference especially. But especially the... Well, no, the division helped you. The division he helped you. The conference he hurt you. He really fucked over the NFC North. He fucked over everyone. Yeah, Jerry Jones fucked everything up. He should have just sent them to the AFC. That's bullshit. I agree. Yeah. You almost went to the Jets. Did you see that report, Mames? Yeah, it would have been a shit trade for the Jets, but... They wanted Quinton Williams. Quinton Williams in two first-round picks?

46:56So if the Jets traded that, the Cowboys would be picking top five? Yeah, and the Jets said no. Jets said no. We don't have the facilities for that. I'd say good job to the Jets. They don't have the facilities. Don't have the facilities.

47:12PFT Commenter:Last thing, Brandon Aubrey was the – oh, Dak Prescott. Did you see he said that he's like a closer and he needs a walkout song, which would be sick. Yeah. A kicker having a walkout song would be awesome. What should Aubrey have? I don't know. Kendrick? That would be very funny. Yeah. Yeah. He was, yeah, Brandon Aubrey is awesome. And this was the sneaky, the game of the day, which I don't think anyone expected going into it because Russell Wilson, he just, it was perfectly timed by Russ. He heard all the noise. He's like, I'm just going to chuck it up to Malik Nabors. who Malik Nabors is an absolute stud, which that part is fun for Giants fans.

47:52PFT Commenter:I don't know where the Giants... I thought the Giants defense was going to be a lot better than it has been through two games. Because you would think on paper with that defensive line that was so good last year, they could do it again. But very fun game. Very fun game. Now, at McDonald's, wake up to a$4 breakfast meal deal. Wake up to a sausage McMuffin or a sausage biscuit. To hash browns. And wake up to a hot coffee. Get your$4 breakfast meal deal. Limited time only. Prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher for delivery. All right, 49ers 26, Saints 21. We told you on Friday this is going to be Kyle Shanahan getting to prove that Mac Jones was always the guy.

48:28PFT Commenter:It started kind of rough for Mac Jones. He had a couple really bad passes to start. And then he did well. He had three touchdowns. He ran the offense well. Maybe Mac Jones is the guy, and Kyle Shanahan was correct. So I thought that this game was more competitive. And this is twice that the Saints have done this to me, where they've played teams tough. They are a tough team. I think that's probably on me for going to the season, just thinking that the Saints were going to give up on playing football and not really be competitive at all. Turns out that's very hard to do when you have professional football players on your team.

49:00So I've been pleasantly surprised with how the Saints have been playing and at least making interesting games for everybody. But, yeah, Mac Jones looked pretty good. Christian McCaffrey looked okay. the Luke Farrell guy that they got at tight end. He does a great job being the margarine to George Kittle's butter. It's like, yeah, I wish I had Kittle, but this guy, I guess he'll do.

49:21PFT Commenter:Yeah, if you're walking in an airport on an NFL Sunday and you see a TV 100 feet away and you see Luke Farrell scoring a touchdown, you can maybe convince yourself that was Kittle. If you're drunk enough, you think that that's Kittle. Yeah. Which everybody in New Orleans was. Yeah. Yeah, no, the Saints, like, they fight. They're fighting for Kellen Moore. Like, this is a team, they had the ball down five with a couple minutes left trying to score. They ran out of time and didn't convert a fourth down, but they fight. What do you guys think was going through Kyle Shanahan's head when Eddie Pinheiro missed his first PAT?

49:59PFT Commenter:I hate kickers. Like, fuck every kicker. He then ended up making the rest of his PATs and two field goals. So good move because that would have definitely been at least one Jake Moody miss in a very tight game. But it was very funny that the very first PAT he missed. Credit to Kyle Shanahan for sending Matt onto the field to attempt field goals after that missed extra point. Yes. Because he just might have been done with kickers for forever. Forever. At that point. Yeah. Yeah. Kyle, he's probably relieved. They're going to win a game or two because they have a competent kicker. Yeah. As opposed to Moody who was just stinking it up.

50:33PFT Commenter:and my condolences big cat listen that's a ryan poles move yeah ryan poles he's like hey we got a third round draft pick or whatever mood he was which is way too high now we have a third round draft pick kicker and a fourth round draft pick punter pretty good wow it's basically like you're the gm yeah it was just not what you want not what you want yeah i'm i'm impressed with the saints at least fighting i know that sounds like loser talk but like spencer rattler he he's okay He's running the offense in an okay way. He played pretty good today, and it's like they're not a very good team. They're in a weird middle phase as a franchise, and they're at least fighting early on in the football season.

51:12I think he's a very, very serviceable bridge quarterback. Yeah. He's a good guy. He's not going to ruin the confidence of any of your other players while he's the starter for a single season.

51:23PFT Commenter:As long as he doesn't get Chris Alave hurt. That's true. Yeah. Which he didn't today. Yeah, he did not. And the 49ers might be back. because 2-0 start after last year's debacle, and they've already gotten – they're 2-0, and they've already gotten a ton of injuries that most seem like guys will come back. So credit to 49ers. Got to feel good starting 2-0. They got to play the Cardinals next week, but who have problems of their own, which we'll get to. I feel like Shanahan likes to put just a little bit of fear into the NFL fan bases out there by just saying, hey, Christian McCaffrey, he was limping around.

51:58We're going to hold him out of practice today. Yeah. Just to make us all nervous. Just make fantasy people.

52:03PFT Commenter:It's actually kind of smart by Kyle Shanahan. He can shine a light on how ridiculous we all act as sports bettors and fantasy football players by just saying Christian McCaffrey didn't go through all practice and watching a bunch of grown men freak out online. Yeah. He pulls a mirror up to our idiocy. I think Kyle Shanahan just hates nerds because he hates kickers and he hates people that play fantasy football. And he is a nerd a little bit. And he is a little bit of a nerd. He hates himself. He's a self-loathing nerd. Yeah. Yeah. Zach, did you have anything on this game? I like, by the way, Zach and Mim's just sitting here, just the two of them.

52:42PFT Commenter:They don't hate each other. This game scored a lot more points than I thought was going to be scored. It was fun to watch. Nice. Yeah, so that's the thing. I just wanted to get you involved a little bit there, Zach, because I realize with the Bucs playing Monday Night Football, there's a chance you might not talk until who's back. That's completely understandable. I felt a little bad looking over there being like, he's just going to sit here and listen to us podcast for two hours. I bet the under on every single early game today. Oh, no. That was a mistake. That was a bad mistake. That was what happened last week.

53:09PFT Commenter:That was what happened this week. Well, here's what I thought. When I went to bed last night, I was thinking to myself, all right, the unders just absolutely killed last week. Now everyone's going to think that the overs are going to hit because the opposite's going to happen. So I'm going to fade the people that are fading the trend. You checkmated yourself. I checkmated myself. Yeah. And lost a lot of money. That's brutal. On taking every single under this morning. Yeah, that's brutal. Yeah. This one actually hit, though. Here we go. Next one. The one that hit. Bills 30, Jets 10. Yep. What? What does that look?

53:44PFT Commenter:You said the over hit? No, the under. It's the only under. Yeah, it's the under. This is a big winner. It was the only under in the morning. This was my under of the week. Yeah. And it hit. Bills 30, Jets 10. 1-0. No hangover for the Bills. They didn't even play, like, great. Josh Allen wasn't Superman Josh Allen. That James Cook run was incredible. It was an amazing run. Although Josh was kind of Superman. He got hit in the face, maybe broke his nose. Yeah. And was bleeding everywhere. It looked like he was excited to meet Josh Allen. Yep. On MVP night. Yeah, he knows beers. We know that. And then that was a play where he had the ball, like, I think it was a couple plays after he got taken out with a broken nose, the bloody nose, and he had a play where he ran down the sidelines and thought about trying to jump over two people, and he didn't press all the buttons.

54:32An old Josh would have, and then he was smiling. He's like, yeah, I made the right call there. I learned. I learned. I figured out that I don't always have to do that.

54:40PFT Commenter:Memes, does Aaron Glenn cut Michael Clemens for that penalty? Because it would be very funny if Aaron Glenn just cut whoever makes the biggest mistake every single week and then ends up with like half a roster by the end of the year? I think they might, but he's another one of those guys that if accountability was a thing, he wouldn't be on the roster because he made all those mistakes last year, and then you think you've got to stop on defense, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, penalty on Michael Clements. Now that was – it did look like a flop on Josh Allen. His nose got battered. No, no, no, on the unnecessary roughness.

55:14PFT Commenter:Oh, on the other play. To start the game, yeah. But he did punch Josh Allen in the face. Yeah, because the unnecessary roughness, that was like a third and 17. Basically just don't do anything stupid. Get off the field. And then the Bills were off and running. And they had, like I said, it wasn't like a last Sunday night where Josh Allen was just lighting up and passing all over the place. I think he, what did he end up with, like 170 yards or something? But they did spread the ball. I think 10 guys had a carrier catch. and the Bills defense is really what it was because they got ran on by the Ravens and gave up 40 points and then they came into MetLife and they completely shut down the Jets rushing attack.

55:58PFT Commenter:The Jets, outside of garbage time, had 18 carries for 76 yards. They never got going and they basically were like, Justin Fields, we dare you to throw. And guess what? They won that dare. That was a good dare to make. Really good dare. 3-4-11 today, and then Terod came in. Do we know how long Justin's going to be out for? He had a concussion. We don't yet. He might have a concussion. So where are we at? Well, we got both ends of the spectrum from last week to this week for the offense. Defense played a little okay. The defense played a little okay. A little okay. They were on the field the entire time.

56:36PFT Commenter:And James Cook, his run that kind of opened it up was insane. Yeah, at that point, it was just like the Jets stink. Like, I don't even know what we're doing. Like, some teams are competing for a Super Bowl. Other teams are just playing dress-up on Sunday. How are you feeling about Justin Fields? Not great. You knew that it was going to be a long day from the first throw when he airmailed Garrett Wilson, and then it was just over. Yeah. This was definitely the worst stadium trip that you could have for any home fan base this week. Yeah, and apparently it was Justin Fields' worst game ever throwing.

57:12ever. But it's his best offensive line. It is. Guys were open. He just wasn't throwing it. He also had almost 50 yards rushing, Mims. Don't forget that. Yeah, he had one okay run and then he missed two wide open guys, back-to-back throws.

57:31PFT Commenter:How are we, Mims? Me and you. Mims and I had a little bit of a duke to do. What happened? Well, we do this every year right around now. Where we basically are like fighting with each other because both our teams stink. And I accused him because I saw that he tweeted a graphic being like Bears are eliminated from the playoffs. And I was like, where's the Jets graphic? He did tweet the Jets graphic a few, like 20 minutes after that. Yeah, but every time he looked at the Bears game, it was just the Lions just scored again. You guys were getting killed. You had a quarterback who threw three for 11 for 27 yards.

58:05PFT Commenter:And again, he's our slot. You're taking sloppy seconds from us. yeah but that's fine no that's way worse we're supposed to suck when you say the Bears suck what does that say about you that you took our sloppy seconds but the Jets are supposed to suck this year you guys have a slight expectation we put out a graphic for like best record on the show I was in quadruple digits and nobody else was even touching that you're saying that you engineered your team to stink yes and you did so by taking a bears quarterback correct got it even though that's not what you said all offseason well you cried when he got a little foot injury you called us racist you stubbed his toe and you yelled at me almost left the show listen memes we did hash we did hash it out memes and i hashed it out we agreed that we have to remind ourselves that We're in this together, the two of us.

59:03PFT Commenter:We're the winless teams on PMT right now, and we have to stay together. We have to have each other's backs. Did I go and do an accounting of how many times you tweeted about the Bears versus how many times you tweeted about the Jets? Yes. Was it more Bears than Jets? Yes. But we're in this together. The Bears was a more memeable game. That's true. That is true. More eyeballs on it. That is true. More eyeballs. That is true. Offensive coordinator going against the old team. Yep. That is true. He said he had plays that he had called in the offseason that he was going to run today. Oh, the Bears had a great first play.

59:40Yeah.

59:41PFT Commenter:Yeah, it was a good script. Okay, so we're good, though. Yeah, yeah, we're good. Our teams both suck. We're good. We both suck. Yeah. What do you think about Aaron Glenn's statement? And maybe you'll get Caleb Williams in like a year or two. What do you think about Aaron Glenn's statement after the game that was just like, we're killing ourselves? Yeah, that was his Is that memeable? That was his warm welcome to the Jets Would you say that's a memeable thing that he said? Yeah, I tweeted about it Did you meme it? I'm beginning to see Big Cat's point here To memes' defense His coach literally said, we're killing ourselves And then memes did not use that You did not deploy that as a meme I did So memes' defense, what?

1:00:25The graphic of the Bears elimination got 27 ,000 likes. Of course it did. The graphic of the Jets one got four.

1:00:32PFT Commenter:Listen, I'm not arguing of which team is funnier to laugh at right now. I'm just asking for fair and balanced from memes when he runs the PMT account. All I needed was the Jets eliminated as well because we're in this together. We have to stick together. That's fair. But if we're numbers-based, the Bears can't get four. Of course they do. They are way easier to laugh at. Which is actually, you should be upset about that. Because that used to be the Jets mantle. You lost it. The opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy. Yeah, we're so bad you can't even laugh anymore. Right. It's like they're so bad.

1:01:12PFT Commenter:Yeah, so maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's like you're mad that the Bears have taken the laughingstock mantle. That could be it. either way it was just very funny for memes and i just standing in the studio around four o 'clock today having a real disagreement and then coming to the terms of like we both suck we just got to stick together that's zach you watched it what did you think how pathetic was it uh it was very funny i'll be in full transparency it was good it was but it felt pathetic did you feel pathetic memes because i felt pathetic we're arguing over who's worse now that memes has the part of my take timeline pulled up but there is one thing from the from the lions bears game that we didn't discuss oh yeah bring up yeah i'm gonna runst brown scored a touchdown uh he does the celebration where he grabs his hamstring hank freaked out hank thought that he pulled his hamstring goes oh fuck oh no you've never seen that before hank i said oh no jared goff looked like he got fooled by a two.

1:02:12No. No, he came to celebrate with his buddy. Yeah. I just said, oh, no.

1:02:19PFT Commenter:First day watching Paul. I mean, that's not what you want to see. That's true. Well, actually, it is. P.T., you fucking cry every time Jane Daniels moves outside of the pocket. Shut the fuck up. I do, and I've never once been like, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. I've never fallen for a fake celebration. Oh, get down, get down, get down. Oh, my God. After he scores a touchdown, and I'm not like, oh my God, is the hamstring okay? If he went down like that, you would literally have a heart attack. That's probably true. Well, I care way more about Jaden Daniels than you do about Amin Rashi.

1:02:51I didn't, and freak out. I literally just said, oh no. You freaked out a little bit. No, I said, oh no. That's been a thing for like three years. He sold it well. Yeah.

1:03:05PFT Commenter:Okay. We're good memes. We both suck. Yeah, we're good. We're good. We're good. it actually never got to memes you know sometimes memes does the thing where he like balls his fist and you're like oh no we never even got to that we were just having a nice polite disagreement and then came to the conclusion that we both suck and are pathetic and we're good with that well big cap strolled in with a lacrosse stick on his shoulder like he's like he's about to hit me with it it's true i don't know why i had to talk i was just like what i what i do he's like you tweet the Bears are eliminated from the play.

1:03:39PFT Commenter:I was like, where's the Jets one? He's like, I did it. And Zach was just sitting there. And yeah, it had to have been the most pathetic conversation that happened this afternoon. Easily. I was just aware there's going to be that much division week two. I was like, well, this is week two. Week 14 is going to be... No, because this is exactly when memes and I do it every year. It's right around now. I think it's a little early. You think it's early? I think we both suck. Bears were good last year. The Jets were decent to start. Oh, yeah. To start. Jets were decent to start. Yeah. I think week five or six.

1:04:12Whenever the Pats beat the Jets.

1:04:13PFT Commenter:It's usually, yeah, you're right. It's a little bit later, but this year, I think this is the appropriate time for it. Yeah, it's right around that time. Yeah, it's right. It needed to be said. We needed to have the conversation. We'll be good for the rest of the season. Just being like, yeah, we both suck. I will say the last thing on the Jets. Sean Payton lost 70-20 to the Dolphins his first year. There's those positives. You need a year to set the culture for your team. You have to flush the turds. You have to get rid of every single negative piece, negative player out of the building. You got to get your guys in.

1:04:47It's unfortunate. You're going to suck for a while. You just got to bear with the process instead of just being like, oh, we fuck it. We're terrible. I want to watch a Super Bowl team. That's just not going to happen. You're right, because that's how bad teams stay bad, is if they do freak out and then they make another change. Yeah. Yeah, you just got to realize we're going to suck.

1:05:07PFT Commenter:That's where we're different in that you're not at the end of a four-year rebuild. You're at the start of a rebuild. Yeah. That's kind of exciting. Tony Romo said on the broadcast that it was like watching Alabama versus Middle Tennessee State. Oof. That the Bills just have so many more guys that it's just not competitive right now. Yeah. But I do think we'll beat the bad teams. We're a bad team, but I think we're better than the worst. You might be one of the best bad teams. Yeah. How many wins right now? Five. How many bad teams are there that you're better than? That's a good question. After today's game, I'd say zero.

1:05:47But if you go based off the Pittsburgh game, they look terrible. Because Pittsburgh could be a bad team. They could be bad. Are you better than the Dolphins? I think we're better than the Dolphins. We'll find out in two weeks. That's Monday Night Football.

1:06:02PFT Commenter:I think you're better than the Panthers. Yeah, we could beat the Panthers. Are you better than the Saints? Right now, no. Are you better than the Bears? Yes. We don't play. But yes, right now, power rank. Although we kind of played the same week one, week two. Like close game, then non-competitive game. I'd give it to the Bears. Okay. Although Justin Fields would have his chip on his shoulder. Yeah. That would be big. That would be big. And you would have a chip on your shoulder because you'd get to rub it in my face. That would also be big. That would be fun. All right. Next game, Seahawks 31, Steelers 17.

1:06:43PFT Commenter:yeah the Steelers might be bad so this game did change on two plays one was the pick in the end zone to uh where Calvin Austin I think ran the wrong route basically hit the ball tip drill it was a pass to Friar Muth yeah Calvin Austin reached out deflected it up interception he's like I got this yep and then the other one was one of the dumbest plays uh ever it was Caleb Johnson walking away from a ball that landed in the landing zone and then the Seahawks jumping on it in in the end zone and scoring a touchdown. That was basically the game right there. It reminded me, it kind of reminded me of like, because of the new rules of like kickoffs and everything, it kind of reminded me of, remember the Plaxico play?

1:07:26PFT Commenter:When he stood up and dropped the ball? And then everyone learned to not do that? Caleb Johnson had to die for everyone else to learn to never do this because the way he walked away from that ball, he never in a million years thought it was a live ball. Every special teams coach is like, thank God that happened to a different team and not to us. And Danny Smith, the biggest gum chewer, he makes Pete Carroll look like he's never put anything in his mouth. Danny Smith is always chewing a fat wad of gum. And him not knowing that rule, I think, is worse than what Caleb Johnson did. As a special teams coach, say what you want about Belichick.

1:08:00Belichick would have studied every single rule about the kickoff and then had an hour-long meeting with everybody on special teams being like, this is the rule, this is what you can't do, this is what you can't do. That to me was more on the coach than it was on the player Do we know that he told him Do we know that Because he could have told him He might have told him If he did tell him then yes it's on the player But Caleb Johnson didn't act like he had ever heard that He walked away from it so nonchalantly And the game changed entirely on that The Steelers have to press

1:08:28PFT Commenter:The Seahawks were up 3 And then they went up 10 just like that On back to back plays So it was pretty crazy The Steelers are I don't know if the Steelers are good. I have a take, Big Cat. Okay. I think the Steelers are better when they have a shitty quarterback. And Aaron Rodgers didn't play that well today. I want to say that. I mean, he should have had that touchdown to Pat. But I think that they're better when their defense knows that they have to be impregnable. I think they can just give it a little time because I think Aaron Rodgers might not be good anymore. You don't think so? No. Under pressure, he was.

1:09:07PFT Commenter:a disaster. He was bad today. He was on passes over 10 yards today. He had a 22 % completion percentage, 42 yards, and one interception. He might be over. I actually, I think that they I think they win that game with Mason Rudolph. They might. Because the defense, my entire take is like, right now the Steelers didn't really make any drastic changes on defense besides bringing in Jalen Ramsey which should make your defense better. Right? And Joey Porter didn't play today. but they're not playing at all like they were last year on defense. They did have a lot of injuries in this game, but still it's two games where they've gotten – it doesn't look like the Steelers, the way that they got ran on.

1:09:51PFT Commenter:Kenneth Walker, he only touched the ball 13 times. He had 105 yards. Yeah, it's like just because you have the uniform – I always expect that the uniforms are just going to make you a good defensive player if you play in Pittsburgh. Correct. But that's not really a great strategy. It's like saying play Renegade louder. and that'll make us better on defense. If they have a shitty quarterback, I feel like they're more competitive on defense. Yeah. Might be a dumb take, but knowing that you can't give up any points. I don't hate the take. I think they just got to wait a little bit because I don't know.

1:10:22I don't know if Rodgers – I don't know if the Steelers are good.

1:10:26PFT Commenter:They started 1-0. Obviously, they lost today. The Seahawks' defense is good. Had them in clamps in the second half. I don't know if the Steelers are good. There also might be a little, maybe some trouble brewing between Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin. Ooh, do tell. Well, Aaron Rodgers, he keeps trying to tell Mike we're going to go for it on fourth down. And then Mike Tomlin's like, no, Aaron, I don't go for it on fourth down. That's not in my DNA. Yeah. And then Aaron Rodgers is like, fuck, okay. But he's used to winning all those arguments with his coaches. Yeah, but he doesn't realize that Mike Tomlin's like, hey, I don't know if you know, but I've been here for a long time, and what we do is we punt.

1:11:01We're in the middle of the field, and it's fourth and one, we punt. This is how I have a 600 winning percentage. Yeah. Okay. We're going to punt. It was fourth and one. It was pretty much midfield, I think, at the 48-yard line. And it was tied 14-14. And Aaron Rodgers is like, no, let's just get a first down. Mike Tomlin's like, no, we're going to punt. And Aaron looked exasperated. Yeah.

1:11:23PFT Commenter:Yeah. Listen, I don't know. We'll find out, I guess, if the Steelers are good in the next couple of weeks. Because I think they play at the Patriots. that would be a good test of whether they're good then they play at home against the Vikings that would be a good test if they start 1-3 I think they're not a good team and I don't Russell Wilson looked really good today I don't know if Aaron Rodgers still has what Russell Wilson did which is crazy to say over the course of a season? Maybe but this is a great game from Russ don't get me wrong I'm just saying I don't know where that came from Russ it wasn't last year or last week but the deep ball is still there for Russ Aaron Rodgers couldn't throw the ball down the field.

1:12:05Aaron Rodgers looked way better today than Russ looked in week one.

1:12:09PFT Commenter:Yes. I would agree with that. In their bad games. I would agree with that. But in their good games, Russ looked better than Aaron Rodgers. And that interception in the end zone was not Aaron Rodgers' fault. Correct. That was not his fault at all. And then the Seahawks, I do think the Seahawks have a very good defense. Their offense will hopefully come along and look good today because the Steelers defense looked bad. But yeah, I think Mike McDonald's got him going in the right direction kind of thing. We have two Mike and Mike matchups today. We did. Vrabel and McDaniel and Tomlin and McDonald.

1:12:41Yeah. Crazy. It's too bad we lost Mike McCarthy.

1:12:44PFT Commenter:We had five Mikes. Five Mikes. Five Mikes. Yeah, the Seahawks are going to be one of those teams that I feel like if they're going to be there. They play a good style of football. Even that week one game where they couldn't do anything offensively. They stayed in it by playing good defense. And Cooper Cup still alive. Cooper Cup still alive. Yep. Still alive. Oh, that's my computer making noise. Hank, speaking of Mike's, the other Mike matchup, Patriots 33, Dolphins 27. How are you feeling? Got to win. Got to win. Wasn't pretty. Defense is really bad. Drake may look great. Drake may did look great.

1:13:22PFT Commenter:The offense looked good. Stefan Diggs kind of showed up a little bit. But I love Mike Vrabel running down the sidelines on the kick return. Yeah, you see Stefan Diggs called him slow. Yeah, that's funny. That's just good old-fashioned locker room stuff. Yeah. Tua finally lost to the Patriots. Yeah. But their defense looked bad. Like, the Dolphins, I don't think, are good. And it was an absolute grind to win that game. Yeah, you needed the bat. The game was not, like, super appealing to watch. and then it kind of all hell broke loose with the punt return, then kick return right back, which was pretty sick.

1:13:59PFT Commenter:Did you like the new uniforms? No new uniforms yet. I thought they were new. Not yet. Did the pants look grayer then, or were they sweating a lot? I think it was just a hot Miami day. Okay, it was a hot Miami day. Because they put the benches in the sun. Yeah. Let's talk about your kicker. Yeah. So I have a theory. I think Mike Vrabel is just too much an alpha that none of his kickers can ever have the confidence to kick. He just hates kickers. He's got a horrible number. He's got a horrible swag for a kicker. Number 36. He's number 36. He's got an arm sleeve. The arm sleeve on. And a sleeve of tattoos.

1:14:38PFT Commenter:He looks like a 12-year-old went in the Madden creative player and spent like an hour and a half customizing everything. You do not want your kicker to have swag. Nothing about a natural kicker should exude coolness. No. And he's got the ass towel, which is like that's K-Dick, who played obviously college football, doing college football, was like no kicker should ever have an ass towel. No. You don't touch the ball with your hands. Correct. He did. He came up clutch, though. He had a long field goal to kind of ice the game. Yeah, he did. But, yeah, he missed two extra points. The first two extra points missed him badly.

1:15:11Number 36 on a kicker doesn't look good. If you're a kicker, you take the screen. You don't even ask for a number. If you're a kicker, you just go into the equipment room and you're like, whatever you got that dorks usually wear. I'll put that one on. So, yeah, bad. Really bad. And Vrabel definitely just hates it. He probably doesn't even know his name.

1:15:30PFT Commenter:No. Yeah. No, they're just all kicker. Yeah. To him. Get out there, kicker. Go miss that kick, kicker. Because this happened. Remember when he just didn't use kickers in Tennessee? Yeah, because there was one guy that missed like four in a row. Yeah. And he was just like, yeah, we're just not kicking the ball. We're not going to kick. Ever again. Mike McDaniel has to change his glasses. You can't wear those glasses and lose as much as he's been losing. I'd agree. If you need to make a change, you've got to have a different image. You can't be going through the tough times when you're looking like a Coke dealer.

1:16:01PFT Commenter:Yeah. He also, I would say the heat on his seat is volcanic at this point because they had a players-only meeting after week one. Yep. And then after this game, Tua basically said the communication was terrible at the end of the game. Yep. And Mike McDaniel then said the communication was terrible at the end of the game. It feels like it's going to be our first head coach fired this season. Well, they're already – it's week two. Yeah. And Miami – And they have to play Buffalo on Thursday night. Miami is already flying planes over the stadium that say fire Greer, fire McDaniel. Oof. We're at skywriting bad territory for the Dolphins right now.

1:16:44PFT Commenter:Here's a good thing for the Dolphins. Tyreek Hill finally had a 30-yard catch. First time in a year. Yep. It was one of the most underthrown balls of all time. But it still counted. It was over 30 yards technically, yes. Also, Tua is my favorite interception quarterback in the league now. Tua might have a blind spot directly in the center of his field of vision. That interception he threw to the linebacker was so fucking funny. He is now number one if you're like, hey, you want to laugh, show me an interception. It's Tua. It was crazy. The guy was about 15 yards in front of him, directly in his field.

1:17:20Is there a term for that, like nearsighted, farsighted? Remember, Jameis had this when he got a delay set. Yeah, he was linebacker blind. Yeah. But yeah, if you can't see things that are directly in front of your face, what is that called? I don't know. Denial?

1:17:31PFT Commenter:Yeah. That interception, though, was so fucking funny. He just threw it right to the linebacker. Yeah. It was a perfect pass to the linebacker. But, yeah, he leads the league in funniest turnovers at this point. He's my 1-1 pick for funniest turnovers. I agree. They're awesome. Hank, you guys traded a wide receiver today, or was that yesterday? Yesterday. Are you familiar with the Patriots' track record with receivers that they've drafted? Yeah, it's not great. Who did you trade? Not Booty. No, not Booty. Polk, yeah. Jalen Polk. Okay. Did you know who the last wide receiver that the Patriots drafted that has reached 1 ,500 receiving yards in his entire career is?

1:18:22Is that a Stephen Chase stat? No. 1 ,500. 1 ,500. Oh, sorry.

1:18:27PFT Commenter:1 ,500 was his stat. 1 ,500. That's not that. Yeah, I thought it was 1 ,500. 1 ,500 isn't that many receiving yards. We didn't draft receivers forever. Wait, in his career? In their entire career. Oh, that's crazy. I'm not talking about in a season. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's crazy. We didn't draft wide receivers forever, and then we took Nikhil Harry. He was terrible. So now Julian? It was Julian Edelman, yeah. Yeah. That's from Andy Hutchins. But yeah, that's a crazy stat, isn't it? And Polk, was he a second rounder? Might have been first. Second. Memes is saying second. Second rounder. Memes on our Patriots beat.

1:19:03Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

1:19:05PFT Commenter:Where did Jalen Poe go to college? Yeah, Washington. Huskies. Hank's favorite team. That's right. Yep. That's right. That's right. Yeah, listen, Hank, Drake may look good. Drake may look good. I feel like it's going to be an entertaining year. They're going to be in a lot of these games where it's like they're going to have to grind out wins. But that was a big step for like— Shootout wins. Drake may should look like that against a Dolphins defense that is bad. He was almost perfect. So that's good. Yeah. you know, and you won the game. It's a rebuilding year. It's like we got to win. You know, there's going to be a lot of close games, and you just got to hope, you know, they get good experience out of them.

1:19:46PFT Commenter:It was an awesome ending, too. It was exciting. And we're just going to forget that you said that you're going to have the most wins of anyone on this. I mean, we're only one back right now. So it's true. So you're going to stand with it. I'm just saying we're only one back. So, okay. All right. So you're only one. Big cat's only one back of you. That's true. True. Same with memes. Right there. We're knocking on the door. Anything could happen. It's a long season. It is. It is a long season. Yeah, I do think that it's going to be Mike McDaniel soon. Right? Let's just look. If you get a players-only meeting after one week.

1:20:22One week. That's a pretty bad sign. All right, the Dolphins. That's not even a player. That's just telling your coaches, hey, get out of here. Yeah.

1:20:30PFT Commenter:We don't want to talk to you. All right, I'll make the prediction. if the Dolphins start 0-5, he will be fired because they play the Bills. They're going to lose to the Bills in Buffalo, Thursday night football. Then they play the Jets on Monday night football. Then they play the Panthers. If they lose to the Jets and the Panthers, if they don't get one win there, he's done. I agree. That's it for him. And I'm sure he'll be a good offensive coordinator somewhere. Yeah. Maybe not a head coach. Okay. You can't wear the glasses if you're an offensive coordinator. Those are winning head coach glasses.

1:21:01PFT Commenter:Yes, absolutely. PFT you want to do a couple ads and we'll get to the last two games of the early slate dedication isn't born in the light of day it's carved in the quiet hours before the world blinks awake at Boar's Head we rise with a mission to deliver craftsmanship worthy of your table a slice of something special folded into every moment worth savoring because dedication means delivering only the very best. War's Head, committed to craft since 1905. We had help. On August 21st. We have a story. Mutiny arrives on the big screen. Who are you? It is, trust me. Jason Statham stars in the action movie to end your summer.

1:21:50PFT Commenter:What do you want? Vengeance. Mutiny. Rated R. Okay, Rams-Titans. Rams 33, Titans 19. I feel like the Rams offense finally woke up because they were in a dogfight with the Titans 13-10 at half I believe it was and then Matthew Stafford was sensational in the second half he went 14 for 17, 191 yards, two touchdowns they scored on four of their five drives maybe it was a game and a half that the Rams needed to finally wake up in the first half all they really had was like let's hand the ball off to Puka Nakua and then he's going to break something nice for us And if you're a Titans fan watching this game, this season's probably going to stink for Titans fans out there.

1:22:31Oh, yeah. But we are firmly on guy watch with Cam Ward. So that's really what you're paying attention to every week. Is Cam Ward a guy? Was that throw smart? That might be... The touchdown throw we're talking about. Yeah, the touchdown throw he threw across his body, across the entire field. That is a throw that a guy would make.

1:22:52PFT Commenter:Yeah. However, that's not a good throw that you want your guy to make because he's going to think that he can do that. And then it's going to be bad the next time they try. That's a throw against Bethune Cookman. Yes. Not against the Los Angeles Rams. Now, it did work. Yep. So credit to him. But that was a crazy. I can't imagine they go into film and they're like, hey, good throw, dude. Great process. Because that was nuts. Yeah. You rarely see that across the body, across the field. Yeah. They're going to try to tell him not to do that, but since it worked, it's a good luck telling him that. Yeah.

1:23:23Because it ended up being an awesome-looking play. They even have some of the super high-definition cameras that tracked it being like, look at this great play by Cam Ward. Yep. Coaches are like, don't ever fucking do that again, please.

1:23:35PFT Commenter:Yeah. But he's going to. His O-line is not great, so it's a work in progress. I have liked watching Cam Ward. He's fun to watch play. This game kind of got away from him. It was actually his fumble in the second half that kind of opened up the floodgates where it was like the Titans were hanging around their one possession game, and then it just kind of ended there. I would go far as to say that the Titans' offensive line is bad. Yeah. Right now. He's on pace to be sacked 93.5 times this year, which actually it made me look up the David Carr stats. So he's been sacked. How many times did he get sacked today?

1:24:11I know he got banged up a lot in week one. Today he had five sacks. David Carr, in his first two games, he got sacked 15 times. Pretty crazy. But right now they're on pace to break that record. He had six sacks in his first game.

1:24:31PFT Commenter:What was the David Carr again for the whole first year? Because Caleb was close. Was it 70? I can't remember, but Caleb was close. Caleb got sacked 68 times last year. I think it was like 73 or 74 times for David Carr. 76. 76. So Caleb was eight away. So the fact that David Carr got sacked 15 times in his first two games and only got sacked 76 times on the season. Yeah, pretty good. Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. Pretty good turnaround. Offensive line did all right. Yeah. Here's a crazy stat I saw. The Rams are a good football team. I think we all agree, right? They played the Eagles the toughest out of anyone last year in the playoffs.

1:25:15PFT Commenter:Every year, Stafford's been healthy. They've been in the playoffs. Do you know this was the largest margin of victory, regular season margin of victory the Rams have won by since week 13, 2023? I did not know that. Isn't that crazy? They just don't blow anybody out. They don't blow anyone out. It's nuts. They probably do a great job of running the football. Yeah, I saw it and I was like, holy shit, and I went and looked, And they did kill the Vikings last year in the playoffs. But regular season, every game is 10 points or less pretty much until you go back to week 13, 2023. So, I don't know, there's like 13 or 14 wins in there that none of them were 14 points.

1:25:55Yeah, McVay is a really good coach. Brian Callahan, I don't know. Can we even say if he's a good coach or not? Yeah, I don't know. He might be Ken Wisenhunt 2.0. I like him as a guy. He seems like a good dude. Yeah. but he learned what a catch is. He learned what a catch is. Calvin Ridley has not.

1:26:12PFT Commenter:Yeah. The Titans need to just be a scrappy team this year. They get the Eagles. Or no, sorry, the Rams get the Eagles next week. Whose line is that anyway? DraftKings Sportsbook. Where is it? It's at Philadelphia. Eagles minus four and a half. No. Eagles minus three and a half. I'll say two and a half. I think Hank might be right. What is it? Draft King Sportsbook, it is Eagles minus four and a half. Oh, wow. Nice, Hank. Good job. You're spot on. All right. Last game of the early slate, Ravens 41, Browns 17. This is an ass kicking. It was close, actually, in the first half. On Deshaun Watson's birthday.

1:27:00PFT Commenter:Yeah, Deshaun Watson's birthday. They wished him a happy birthday on Twitter. Joe Flacco's return to Baltimore, which was cool. Do you see Dennis Pitta wearing our shirt? He rocked the elite shirt today, yeah. Respect. Rocked the elite shirt. The hug with Lamar after was awesome. Nothing else the Browns did was awesome because it wasn't even like – the Ravens had 242 total yards of offense, and they still won by this margin. They blocked a punt. They had a pick return to the six-yard line. They demolished them. They didn't even try to run the football. That was the craziest part about it. Derek Henry had 23 yards today.

1:27:37PFT Commenter:Yeah, the Browns defense held its own for a half, and then it just ran out of gas. There was nothing else that could be done. And the Ravens, like, last year we talked about it on Friday, but last year they lost on a heartbreaker week one. They lost the Raiders week two. This feels like they corrected a little bit, won an easy one, didn't give up a lead late. Ravens are going to be just fine. I have a question for you, PFT, and we love Joe Flacco. Yep. Why don't they start Dylan Gabriel? We love Joe Flacco. I love Joe Flacco, but the process makes no sense in the fact that Joe Flacco can't play forever.

1:28:16PFT Commenter:You drafted Dylan Gabriel. You might as well find out. Yeah, well, they put him in. He had a perfect QBR because he went three for three. Against the backups. Against the backups for the Ravens. But still, you can't ask for anything better than three for three. Yeah. Yeah, they probably should start thinking about that. I don't think that Stefanski – I don't know what his relationship is like with Haslam, but I would imagine that the second Haslam says play Dylan Gabriel, he's going to play Dylan Gabriel. And until that happens, he's going to be like, I'm going to stick with Joe Flacco because I'm waiting for Haslam to tell me to put Gabriel in because then my clock resets on my job.

1:28:52PFT Commenter:Yeah. That's probably what's going through his head right now. Okay. But they should. I feel like it should just happen. Yeah. I think it's about that time. It should just do it and see what you got. By the way, did you see the Adam Schefter report before this game that Shador Sanders, the Ravens were going to take him in the fifth round, but before Baltimore could turn in the card, the former Colorado star let it be known that he didn't want to be on the roster with Lamar Jackson where he would be a backup. Instead, he's a backup to Dylan Gabriel and Joe Flacco. And Bailey Zapp. That's a crazy story.

1:29:27PFT Commenter:That is, yeah. I think you'd want to be on the Ravens no matter what. I mean, the fact... If you're drafted by any team, a Ravens is probably the top of the list of teams from an organizational standpoint you'd want to be drafted by. This also tells me that he probably told the Browns, don't draft me, if they had already taken Dylan Gabriel, right? Yeah. Because if the Ravens were going to take him in the fifth, then Dylan Gabriel is already on the Browns at that point. And then they tell Shador, hey, we want to draft you. He probably said, please don't draft me. And they said, fuck you. We're going to draft you so hard.

1:30:05PFT Commenter:We're going to draft the fuck out of you. This is the start of a great relationship. I just don't get it. It's not like Lamar has missed time. Yeah. If you told me I had to be a backup anywhere, I think the Ravens would probably be number one. Lamar and Deion could share a sponsorship with the Pens. Yeah. Get that same 10 on the sideline for the Ravens games. Also, credit to Lamar Jackson. So today, he didn't have the most – he had 225 yards passing, four touchdowns, no interceptions, quarterback rating 128.6. That makes Lamar Jackson the highest-rated NFL quarterback of all time. All time. Of all time.

1:30:44According to QBR. No, no, not QBR. Oh, the rating. Yeah, the passer rating. Yeah. So he officially passed Aaron Rodgers. Lamar Jackson is the best passing quarterback of all time by the metrics, which is crazy because he's also the best running quarterback of all time. That is nuts. That's wild. I think Lamar might be really good. I think he's really good.

1:31:06PFT Commenter:I think I've seen enough guys. I think Lamar is really good. Yeah. Maybe they have Lamar play the regular season and then Shador in the playoffs. Fuck them up when they're not thinking. That's what they were probably going to do. The Ravens are also the 13th team in NFL's history to score at least 40 points in each of their first two games, but they're the first to do it without being 2-0. That's pretty impressive. Yeah, that is. Yeah. Isn't it? Also, this is a sad Brown stat, but maybe comforting? I don't know. I don't know. The Browns are a mess. The Browns have outgained their opponents 649 to 383 through two weeks in their own, too.

1:31:45That's crazy. That's insane. That's mostly a Bengals-Browns stat, but yes. Well, no, today too. This game, they did a decent job on defense.

1:31:53PFT Commenter:Yeah, and they outgained the Ravens today. They lost 41-17, and they outgained the Ravens. I think they outgained them by like 100 yards. So, yeah, close to 100 yards. It's not great for the Browns right now. Let's just say that. I don't really know what they're doing. I don't know where they're going. They don't know any better. But shout out that wedding I'm sure those people are happily married now You see there was also a proposal At the Titans game today too Oh really? Yeah That's beautiful We need this every week We need that We need a wedding at the Titans game Maybe for their new stadium Be like honey I booked the newest building in all of Nashville It's the Titans new stadium Okay Colts Broncos Colts 29 Broncos 28 The Indianapolis Colts are 2-0 for the first time since 2009 2009.

1:32:45PFT Commenter:Yeah. That's crazy. Pretty crazy. Well, they haven't won in week one in like what? Yeah, it was since 2013. Yeah. They're also the first team in the Super Bowl era to not punt in either of their first two games in a season. Because one of them today was like an illegal, was it a penalty? They had a couple turnovers on downs. And I think they punted today, but then there was a penalty and they didn't. Did they actually try to do that? I think so. So yeah, but still technically. Correct. The Colts have not punted by the NFL rulebook. That's pretty crazy. It's nuts. And Booger said that if Daniel Jones can play average, they could be a playoff team.

1:33:19We still don't know because Daniel Jones has not played. He's played awesome.

1:33:23PFT Commenter:Yeah. And, yeah, Daniel Jones was awesome again today. This was, though, to me, all-time. Like, yes, the Colts are 2-0. It's awesome. Vibes are great. Jim Irsay season. They're 2-0 now with Jim Irsay's daughter, the new owner on the sideline with the headset ready to go. The Broncos completely blew this game. Big time. The Broncos had this game. Bo Nix was phenomenal in the first half. Then he had a really bad interception towards the end of the game where they could have – they were in field goal range. They had some bad penalties. And then they had the really bad penalty where they were – it was a 60-yard field goal and they got called for leverage, which that is the – I think that's worse than the actual penalty is the ref announcing to everyone penalty on the Broncos for leverage.

1:34:15Yeah, I don't understand. I guess the long snapper is technically in a defenseless position. You can't jump on his back. You can't touch the long snapper. He kind of pushed him down and went up a little. But that should not be a penalty.

1:34:28PFT Commenter:No. You've got pads on. It just shouldn't. Yeah. And it's also just a funny thing to be like leverage, which you want leverage. Yeah. Leverage is a good thing in football. Yeah. But not in this. Penalty on Tyreek Hill for speed. Yeah. But it was a blown opportunity for the Broncos because it felt like they had this game won. They came out of the halftime, felt like they were controlling the game. Jonathan Taylor, he's awesome still. He was great. He was awesome. Daniel Jones played pretty good today. Jonathan Taylor looked awesome. Awesome. He had so many breakaways where it was like, this is the old Jonathan Taylor from a couple years ago.

1:35:03I thought that the Broncos were the better team overall, but it was a great game. Yeah. This was awesome. It was a very fun game. And good for the Colts because they've been stuck in purgatory when it comes to their quarterbacks for a long time. They put up this sad graphic on the screen where it's just like, here's a list of guys that you remember watching play in the post-Andrew Luck era. Yep. And there are some guys on there. I had wiped from my memory the Matt Ryan Colts year.

1:35:29PFT Commenter:Yeah. Well, no, I didn't because I remember the 12-12 game or 12-9 game Thursday night football that we watched in that New Jersey gambling house that was just, that was one of the most depressing experiences I think we've all shared together. That was Matt Ryan. I thought, in my head, that was Carson Wentz. Anything bad or boring that's ever happened, I just assume Carson Wentz was the quarterback. I think it was Matt Ryan versus Russell Wilson. Broncos-Colts. I'm pretty sure. That was one of the worst games. But it actually, I should say, remember, it did get to a point where it was so bad it was kind of good at the end because it was so hilariously bad.

1:36:05PFT Commenter:Yeah, it was Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson. holy shit that was a bad game 2022 overtime game and the colts defeated yeah yeah because russell was a member didn't he miss a didn't he one of his guys i think was a courtland sundered who was wide open wide open maybe jerry judy yeah and wide open and so pissed about it yeah and now yeah he was yelling at him after the game that was the moment that russell wilson was like oh shit this is not going to work out and nathaniel hackett man time is going fast i can't believe nathaniel hackett interview was three years ago that is crazy and i remember when when russell missed that one pass jerry tweeted out i think sierra should give future another shot yeah and then he fell in love with future or with with little future yeah and with russell wilson the next year yeah for an entire season that was a bad game but yeah the colts look good i i'm happy for colts fans i'm happy for seth yep and they are doing a great job of just getting Tyler Warren the ball at all costs.

1:37:02PFT Commenter:He's good. Yeah. He's good. We also had the mascot game was back against the kids. Always fun. Mm-hmm. Where they just dummy a bunch of little kids in pads. And the mascot going from despair to celebrating was a very funny wrinkle in this game. The Colts mascot also, you know, his celebration is the little hump. Yeah. Like, humps his waist out a little bit. All the Colts players got next to him and just started fucking the air. Yeah. In unison with him today. Yeah. That was good to see. The vibes are high for the Indianapolis Colts. Very high. Yeah. Shane Steichen can coach a little quarterback if the quarterback can listen.

1:37:37PFT Commenter:And, yeah, it feels good. Vibes are high. Who do they play next week? Because this was a good test. Although I wasn't all the way in on the Broncos hype. Titans. Titans. So that could be 3-0. Then Rams. Then Raiders. Then Cardinals. Yeah. We could be looking at the Colts. it will be very interesting to see what happens with the texans on monday night football texans start own two which i need by the way we'll get to that in a second uh all right before we do the last two games and then we have sunday night football pft you have a couple more ads and we'll do the last uh three games this one's brought to you by tick pick ever actually read a ticket receipt service fee processing fee convenience fee convenient for who that's an extra 30 bucks a ticket.

Look for Mountain Dew in stores near you at MountainDew.com That's MountainDew.com Okay. Cardinals-Panthers. Cardinals 27, Panthers 22. This is one of those games that the Cardinals were absolutely dominating. Should have covered. And then we had... So we had the full Kyler experience in I think it was a matter of three plays where Kyler had one of the coolest scrambles for, I don't know, 30, 40 yards, and then he had one of the dumbest interceptions that kind of brought the Panthers back in this game, including a Panthers onside kick recovery, which we should always celebrate onside kick recoveries because we never get to see him anymore.

1:40:06Yeah, I agree with that. Also, Kyler, it was a 30-yard scramble that he had. He ended up with 32 yards rushing on seven carries. It's crazy. That's nuts to think about. Kyler, he should run the ball more. Yeah. He's very fast. Yes. And people lose him behind the big offensive lineman. I do think he's getting shorter. He is. He looked tiny today. Yep. And I was thinking about that. It's also the fact that the Cardinals always wear the same color jerseys as pants.

1:40:31PFT Commenter:Yes. That makes him look so much shorter. It's like a little onesie. He looked like he was in a Christmas story today. Yep. Yep. But yeah, I actually thought Bryce Young looked even smaller than Kyler today. And it was because Bryce was throwing cute little jump passes where he didn't have to jump, but he was just putting his whole body into it and really springing up there. But yeah, they should let him run the ball more because he's fast as fuck, he's very good at it, and it also creates a different thing that the defense has to be on the lookout for. And when he does that, it's a completely different ballgame.

1:41:02Was this a statement loss for the Panthers? Yeah, what's the statement though?

1:41:09PFT Commenter:The statement is maybe we aren't absolute dog shit because for, I don't know, three quarters, maybe it was like two and a half quarters because I think the Cardinals started the second half going down the field and making it 27 to three. So at that point, I was like, yeah, the Panthers are maybe the worst team in the NFL. and then they actually put in some fight, scored 20 unanswered, fought back really hard, made this a game late, had the ball, statement loss. Maybe they could be a frisky Saints-esque team. Well, I think what we always see with Bryce Young has been like right when people think that he's his shittiest, he tends to do something that surprises you.

1:41:49And he started, he fumbled on like the third play of the game. He looked bad. He looked really bad today. And then at the end, it's like, oh, okay, maybe the key is just throw the ball to McMillan. Yeah. And let him just jump up in the air with one hand and just snatch it.

1:42:01PFT Commenter:Yeah. The Cardinals' offense is weird to me because I thought they were going to, like, dominate this game because the Panthers' defense is bad. But it just – something's, like, off. I don't know if it's Kyler and Marvin Harrison. It doesn't feel like their run game is really great. I don't know. They're 2-0, so they shouldn't complain. Like, 2-0 is 2-0. Great. But, yeah, it just gets to that point. Like, the second half, they just couldn't put the Panthers away successfully. They let them hang around. I don't know what it is. It's early football. I don't know. To be honest with you, this game was on the third TV I was paying attention to until the fourth quarter.

1:42:43And then I was like, ooh, Bryce. Because I'll be honest, Bryce made me look away from this game in the first half. Yeah, no, it wasn't good. I was like, this one's over for the Panthers. So I guess he's mentally tough if he's able to play that poorly. And then. So I'm saying statement loss. They didn't lose. They just ran out of time. Well, they also – we welcomed back Hunter Renfro. Yes. Had two touchdowns today. He's back. Hunter's back. That was weird how he just kind of dropped out of the NFL for a while. And then he came back. And then he's back, and I guess he's just doing the same things that Hunter Renfro always does.

1:43:11Yeah, good for him. A little double move, sure hands, coach's son. Good for the Panthers, I guess. Yeah, statement loss. To me, the statement is that Ted McMillan is fucking awesome and just throw the ball in his direction because he's got the biggest – catch radius of any receiver that I've seen in a long time.

1:43:28PFT Commenter:We're going to find out Cardinals play at the 49ers next week. I feel like that will be a – am I right that the Cardinals offense – because the 49ers defense is good and it's like, hey, what's going on? Am I right that it's not as smooth as it should be? I don't trust – Or is it just early football? No, I don't trust the Cardinals offense. Right. I don't. Right. Explosives. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Last game. Eagles 20, Chiefs 17. Max.

1:43:57PFT Commenter:who's on your shit list? What do you mean? Chris Jones? No. That's just him being a sore loser at the end of the game and realizing that he just lost to the Eagles for the third straight time. Okay. Dean Blandino? I don't care. Dean Blandino said he was done with the tush push. Done. It's impossible to officiate. He said it's bullshit. From an officiating standpoint, he said, I can't watch anymore. Yeah. cool cool i i have nothing to say about that if you want to call it call it if you're not going to call we're going to keep doing it okay what do you mean by it false starts yeah they're false starts i don't give a fuck that's that's the correct response yeah by the way if they don't call it then they're actually not false yeah yeah exactly yeah right i'm not going to apologize for referees not calling false starts.

1:44:51PFT Commenter:Right. But would you if... They are false starts. Yes. So you should apologize. Nope. Okay. Don't care. Jalen Hurst did have 101 yards. So he did... Chris Jones was wrong. I think... What was the exact thing? He was like, you didn't even have 100 yards. He was like, you didn't even have 100 yards. And he was like... We won the fucking game. Eat shit or something? Yeah, it doesn't matter because Jalen Hurts, like the Eagles don't have to be able to pass the ball. Jalen Hurts doesn't have to be able to throw for 300 yards. He doesn't. They're going to run the football. They're going to have their offensive linemen just shove you over repeatedly until you stop it.

1:45:31And then if he can take a couple shots downfield now and again, he's got great receivers and there's not a lot you can do. You don't want him to be throwing the ball 35 times a game.

1:45:40PFT Commenter:Right. That's not what your team is built around. Just because you don't have a quarterback that is putting up the craziest numbers in the stat sheet doesn't mean that you don't have a great football team that is winning games, which is what he's designed to do. Correct. This game was a tough watch. It was a rock fight. But the Eagles' defense looked good, and they won the rock fight. So who cares, right? Yeah, no, I would like a little bit more creativity on offense. I saw a lot of wide receiver screens, quick slants. I would like a little bit of a something. Spagnola just dialed up a blitz every single time.

1:46:17I think he blitzed on like 60 % of plays.

1:46:20PFT Commenter:Oh, that one sack was so sick where they closed – like Jalen Hurts jumped and he fucking smashed them. Oh, yeah, he got smoked. He got smoked on that one. That was sick. Well, he was trying to scramble away from the pass rush, and he just scrambled right into a tackle. Big Cat, do you know who Kansas City's leading rusher is this season? It's Patrick Mahomes. It's Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Is Patrick Mahomes a glorified running back? Well, so. Got to be able to throw the ball in this league. The Chiefs are, they don't look good. I know they played two good teams, but they don't look good. Their offense does not look good.

1:46:55PFT Commenter:Patrick Mahomes does not look sharp. Little bro ass. They're 0-2 for the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career. Patrick Mahomes has lost three times in a row, which is the first time that's happened since 2017. And this is their first time they're 0-2 since 2014. The Chiefs are 0-2. Yeah. 0-2 is a crazy record for the Chiefs. It is. Once in a lifetime. I really, really need the Texans to lose on Monday night. Otherwise, I was looking at it, and the Chiefs are literally the only team I could. Oh, no. Yeah, I don't know what to say. I need the Texans to lose because I was looking at the 0-2 teams and the only argument for a team that had legitimate Super Bowl aspirations would be the Houston Texans.

1:47:43PFT Commenter:Every other team that is 0-2 was a dogshit team that here are the 0-2 teams. Jets, Dolphins, Browns, Titans, Chiefs, Giants, Bears, Saints, Panthers. Yeah. It's literally just the Texans go 0-2 or the Chiefs are my pinky. You know who really fucked you over was memes by losing to the Steelers in week one. I know. Because then the Steelers would have been a great team. Would have been perfect. For Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Perfect. Unfortunately. But the Chiefs are going to get healthy. Like, that's... Nah. But are they good? I don't know. I need the Texans to lose. I need the Texans to lose. I need the Texans to lose.

1:48:30PFT Commenter:I cannot have the Chiefs be there. Because you know the Patrick Mahomes. and it will be such torture in the playoffs because you know they're going to win playoff games because they always do. But can Patrick Mahomes win? That's a sicko's dream tonight. Can Patrick Mahomes win? Sicko's dream bet. For people who are maybe new to the show, every year I pick a pinky team that's 0-2, starts the season 0-2, and I say this team will not win the Super Bowl, and if they do, I'll cut off the very tip of my pinky. For the Chiefs, it might even be more of the very tip of my pinky. but we've had two teams in the nine years I've been doing this make the playoffs the Texans the year they won like 10 in a row the J.J.

1:49:10PFT Commenter:Watt Arian Foster Letterman Jacket year and then last year the Rams what the that was not the Arian Foster J.J. Watt year are you sure yeah I don't think we're doing the show when that was when when did they do the Letterman Jacket that was like 2014. Oh. All right. Well, whatever. The Texans made the playoffs. Whatever it was. 2016, 2017. That was the Vrabel. Vrabel was on the staff, I think. What year did they do the Letterman jacket? Oh, yeah. It does look like a young J.J. Watt. That was Arian's idea, by the way. Oof. Oof. Do you have a date? I think it was 2014. Okay. That says I still don't know if I have the Letterman jacket.

1:49:53PFT Commenter:All right. Four years later, it says. So it wasn't Letterman Jacket. But it was the Texans year where they won like nine in a row after I picked them. And then last year, the Rams. The Rams were probably the closest because the Rams were a good team last year. If you pick the Chiefs and they win the Super Bowl, you know that Taylor Swift's going to be watching that live stream. Oh, yeah. By the way, should we talk about Tay-Tay? So that's really what it's at. I need the Texans to lose. The Texans will be my pinky team if they lose. If not, it's going to have to be the Chiefs. And I'm going to – I'm probably going to lose a pinky.

1:50:22PFT Commenter:Eventually, I'm going to lose a pinky. We're going to do this show for the next 40 years. I'm going to do this bet every year. For some year, I'm going to lose the pinky. Let's plan this out, though. Let's think about it. It's the Super Bowl. Yeah. We're in San Francisco. It is the Kansas City Chiefs against the Green Bay Packers. What do you do? I'd lose a pinky for that. The tip of my pinky? I'm going to go. You'd be rooting for the Chiefs at that point. This is giving me anxiety. Well, I would definitely be rooting for the Chiefs. I mean, that could happen. Bucks, yeah. Yeah, I mean, Bucs is the play tonight for sure.

1:50:55I need the Bucs to win. Also, apparently Zach had a great take on the Chiefs. I mean, Texas is the play tonight.

1:50:59PFT Commenter:Oh, what do you got? Running the mill take, I just think the dynasty's over. Oh! I think Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes' dynasty's finished. Yep. There you go. So my pinky is fine. I'm not going to speak for your body parts, but I do think their dynasty's over. Okay. Pinky could be good. But hopefully, you know, I would like to see the Texans lose tomorrow as well, so you can take the Texans. Yeah, I would take the Texans. Zach, what are you seeing out of the Chiefs that make you think the dynasty's over? I don't have in-depth knowledge on why I feel such a way, but usually when they pan the camera to Andy Reid, he's got a certain amount of, like, girth.

1:51:32That, a lot of times, yes. But he always looks calm and collected, but this time it almost looks a little hollow. It looks a little empty. Like, oh, are we still there? I'm not sure. I don't think he thinks they're still there. You know what it is? It's the mustache turning gray, like, in the middle. It looks like he's withering away. Fading away. We got other grown men throwing temper tantrums on the sideline early in the game. I saw Blake has some grays. He's only like two years old, but he's got some grays that are coming right around the mouth. And when I saw that, I got sad. I was like, oh, poor guy.

1:52:01That's how I feel now when I look at Andy Reid. Andy Reid, great guy, but a dice might be over. Great guy. Travis Kelsey might be back. What do you mean? He looked good today.

1:52:13PFT Commenter:Whoa, whoa, whoa. Except he lost the game. Yeah, but I'm saying when he caught and ran, his athleticism was pretty good today. Yeah, but he did pretty much lose him the game. I know, but I'm saying the rumors of his demise might have been a bit exaggerated. Yeah. Because he looked faster than I saw him all last season. But that one play. That one stiff arm play was good. Yeah, but that play was not a Travis Kelsey play. The not turning his head around quick enough and having the ball bounce into, That was a disastrous, disastrous play. I actually thought that maybe he's back athletically, but his head's not back because Tay-Tay might be pregnant.

1:52:59Did you see her coming into the stadium? I saw that there was a black screen set up. Yes. Yeah.

1:53:04PFT Commenter:Yes. That's the rumor. I'm so dumb. That's the rumor. I just thought that. Did you see her coming in? She didn't want to be photographed. Hank? No. They have a wall. A modesty wall Literally created a wall for her entrance And they rolled it As she walked in Look at this Hmm Something interesting What a diva Something interesting I don't know if that's a pregnancy That's the most dramatic shit I've ever seen That's the most dramatic shit I've ever seen It's a bit early Big Cat they're not even married That's true How would that be possible But they did just get engaged But Shotgun wedding? I saw the engagement pictures.

1:53:47She wasn't pregnant in those. Well, it's not showing. Not showing. Right. Now maybe it's a month later. She needs a wall. She could wear a jacket, though. She could. Or she could wear a wall. You don't need a wall guy to walk around next to you. Why have to put on a big jacket when you could wear a wall? Maybe she got a bad haircut. Although didn't last year, wasn't she put in a vending machine or something? I don't know. Popcorn, yeah. They put Taylor Swift in a vending machine? They hit her in a popcorn machine. Yeah, memes backed me up on that. Yeah, it was like a popcorn machine. Yeah.

1:54:21PFT Commenter:Is there a chance the Chiefs not make the playoffs? Yeah. Yeah. Dude, they're owned too. Make them your panky team. I would much rather have it be the Texans. Let's bring up the stats. Well, it's because also the AFC West is tough. I mean, the Chargers are good. The Broncos seem like they're good. The Raiders are friskier than they've been. I know this is only through one week. They did play the Eagles tough, but it never felt like the Chiefs were going to pull away or anything. And that last, like it was a 20-10 game. Then they just started bombing the ball to Taequann Thornton, who is very fast.

1:54:56PFT Commenter:Missed a couple of those. Yeah, I don't know. It definitely, Hank, going like, remember when the Patriots used to go 0-2? It's like, it's over. And then Zach is playing the role of Max Kellerman right now. No, the Chiefs look bad. This is different. This is much different. They look bad? They look bad. It's way different. They don't have any weapons. Their offense looks so – I mean, the fact that Patrick Mahomes is running the ball as much as he is in week two tells me something's wrong. Because he runs the ball usually like playoffs when he has to win. And it's like, I need a play. And he ran the ball a lot today.

1:55:33On the broadcast, I think they said that exact thing. It was like, normally I don't like to run until the playoffs. but this year I feel like I need to. Yeah. I think – He's also throwing his body around a little bit more,

1:55:45PFT Commenter:which is concerning. He did kind of fuck up one of the Eagles. I was kind of sick. Chiefs players also wearing like free Rice shirts is crazy. Free Rice? Rasheed Rice? I guess Rasheed Rice is going to come back and so is Xavier Worthy. That actually – okay. That's why I told you. I was like, they're going to get healthy. Xavier Worthy is coming back. Not healthy. I don't know. I think the Chiefs – Big Cat, only 9 % of teams that start out 0-2 make the playoffs. It's a 90 % chance that you don't have to even worry about your pinky. That's actually crazy that I've been doing this for eight years and two times I've had a playoff team.

1:56:20Yeah.

1:56:23PFT Commenter:That's higher than 9%. Well, it's because you picked some of the better 0-2 teams. Yeah, true. Is Jake Elliott back, Max? Jake Elliott is looking very back. He looks very back. He's awesome again. Yeah. So you feel good. 2-0, feel good. I feel good. I could feel better. Defense looked better. Offense has not played great for six quarters now. Yes. Yeah, and you have the new play caller, so that makes you a little nervous because last time you did the play caller thing, you had a year from hell. Well, we've had five offensive coordinators in six years. Right, but I'm saying you had Shane Steichen, went to a Super Bowl, lost him, had a year from hell.

1:57:04PFT Commenter:Then last year had... Kellen Moore. You hope that Kevin Petula is more Kellen Moore than he is Who is in the year from hell Johnson Yeah Brian Johnson That's the guy that's trying to live forever And charts his cum I think that is his name He charts his son's boners Yeah you're right Also the singer of ACDC What? What? Memes pulls this memory stuff all the time. He just knows everything. Good memory, Memes. Good memory. Just like choosing a show to stream, State Farm has options to choose from to help you find coverage that best fits your needs. Talk to a State Farm agent today to learn how you can choose to bundle and save with a personal price plan.

1:57:55PFT Commenter:Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by a customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state. Is J.J. McCarthy bad? That's what he wants you to think. He was bad tonight. He was ass. He was ass. He got his ass kicked. And I also just want to say credit to the Falcons. I think the Falcons' defense is really good. It does make me a little nervous that if we're doing the transitive property game, what are our biggest takeaways from week two? because watching the Falcons demolish the Vikings makes me think the Bears are even worse than I thought.

1:58:36PFT Commenter:And that was... Than I thought four hours ago after they got a 50-burger put on them. Yeah, that's bad for you. And the Packers, I think those are the biggest two transitive property takeaways. The Packers. The Packers are really, really, really good. Yep. And the Bears are really, really, really, really ass. Steelers might be bad. Yep. That might be a transitive property one. Yep. Good job. Yeah, that was good. Yeah. I like that. No, he's the one that sucks. Don't forget about him. Yeah, I'd say that those are the two most fair takeaways from that because you start to run into, like, circular logic with any other team.

1:59:15But you can look at those.

1:59:16PFT Commenter:It's too early to do this, but it's fun to do it. It's fun to be like, oh, we have two data points. Let's just make some sweeping generalizations from all of it. Because you could say that the Vikings have played four halves and three out of the four halves have sucked offensively. Yeah. The Falcons didn't look great on offense. They just kicked a shitload of field goals. Yeah. Yeah, no, they did. Parker Romo. Yeah, but the J.J. McCarthy discourse is going to be very fun to watch. Because, yeah, he played like dog shit. I will say in J.J. McCarthy's defense, he's obviously, I think, Kelly got hurt.

1:59:51PFT Commenter:Derrissaw's still not playing. Addison's still not playing. also had a baby like 48 hours ago. So probably not the most ideal setting. No, the Falcons had, I think, a pretty good game plan. They just sucked in the red zone. They just couldn't punch it in when it was close. They had penalties. They had all sorts of miscues. But B. John Robinson was awesome today. Their game plan seemed to be just get him the ball any possible way that you can. It was a great game plan. And then they just fucked it up with procedural stuff and couldn't get in the end zone when they were in the red zone. And for the Falcons, you haven't had a defensive game like this in a long time, so this probably feels very good.

2:00:31PFT Commenter:Did they sack J.J. McCarthy five times in the first half alone, I believe? I think it was six total, but five times in the first half. They were all over the place, felt like they were flying. So, yeah, Falcons might be good. I think they are. Vikings might be asked. And I think Penix is good. Penix might be good. I don't think he's very good yet, but I think he's good. I think that the Falcons, when they – they probably signed Kirk Cousins and said, hey, this is a smokescreen. No one's going to think that we're going to draft Michael Pennick, so it'll fall to us. So let's just pay this guy$100 million so we get our guy.

2:01:02And it worked.

2:01:04PFT Commenter:Galaxy brain thinking. Yep. Yeah. Okay, any other big takeaways from week two, like big time one? So Chiefs bad. Bears, Jets ass. Steelers might be bad. Falcons might be good. Aubrey better than Tom Brady. Aubrey better than Tom Brady. Don't let PFT draft a team for you. Nope. Lions good. Lions good. Ravens really good. But we knew that. Bills really good. Patriots? Bad. AFCE is bad. Bad. Easy for the Bills. Bad. Patriots bad or Patriots question mark? Patriots bad. Patriots, yeah. Patriots are not... It's hard to win on the road. Yeah, maybe sneak in the playoffs. Hard to beat Tua. Very tough.

2:01:55PFT Commenter:0-7 against Tua up until today. Especially with a shitty kicker. Yeah. Good against bad teams. Struggle against good teams. Okay. What would be, I guess the only thing that could happen on Monday Night Football that would make me feel a little bit better if the Texans end up winning is if the Chargers then lose. Because then maybe the Chiefs are really bad. Yeah. You know what I mean? Or maybe the transitive property. Yeah. And best case, worst case for that would be that the Raiders might be good because then they'll also beat the Chiefs. Also be a formidable. Yeah, so if the Raiders beat the Chargers, no worries, because then they're going to kick the shit out of the Chiefs.

2:02:38Right. Got it.

2:02:39PFT Commenter:Right. Okay. Should we do who's back of the week, and we'll end the show? Who's back of the week? Hank. My who's back of the week is Twisted Tea. Oh, let's go. New alcohol sponsor alert, at least. I didn't even realize it was sitting here the whole time. Twisted Tea. I mean, this is a beautiful, beautiful moment for me personally. I'm sure you guys as well. I love Twisted Teas going back to the day I turned 21. It was my favorite thing to drink. Best thing to drink in the summer. Best thing to drink anytime, really. Yep. Twisted Tea, the official hard iced tea of part of my take. Yes. Love that.

2:03:16Beautiful, beautiful future coming. That was great flavors, too. Great flavors. Original peach, half and half raspberry. Peach, my favorite. I'm sipping on an OG right now. Whether you're debating watching that award-winning TV drama or re-watching your comfort comedy movie for the 10th time, choices are important. When it comes to choosing coverage, a State Farm agent can help you find options that are right for you. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

2:03:40PFT Commenter:We want people to tweet us. Tweet us your Twisted Tees. These big boy cans are great. I don't think they do it anymore, but when they used to put the pictures on the back of the bottles. Oh, they do. I used to try so hard to get out. We should try to get on the back of these. We should absolutely try to get on the back of these. I used to try so hard to get on the back of these. People tweet us your pictures with your Twisted Teas. So Eddie had his block party like a month and a half ago, and he had every single alcohol you can imagine stocked in his fridge. I drank Twisted Teas the whole night.

2:04:09PFT Commenter:That was before they even came on. I absolutely love Twisted Teas. Super refreshing. They are so, so good. So we're Twisted Tea podcast now. Tweet us your picture of you hanging out with Twisted Tea. Great sipping on the couch drink. You know what I mean? Like, just sitting down, having a couple twisted tees at the end of the night, having a couple twisted tees while you watch some football. Or a tailgate. Yeah. Maybe it's in the morning. You don't want to get too crazy. You just want to ease into it. Twisted tees. I was going to say, start of the night, twisted tees. Yeah. Hot day, twisted tees.

2:04:44PFT Commenter:Yeah, on a boat, twisted tees. Hank, do you have another who's back? Yeah, my other who's back is Ken Rosenthal. Yes. Oh. I saw this video. I saw it tonight. Whitney tweeted it. I saw it from Ryan Whitney, our colleague, tweeted it. It was a postgame. He was about to do an interview. The player, which is pretty normal in baseball, the player who was about to get interviewed, his teammate came over and dumped the water, Gatorade, whatever it was, on him. And then Ken Rosenthal tried to get out of the way. There was a guy behind him who just happened to be in Ken's way. And Ken Rosenthal looked like he might have taken the guy out back and murdered him after that.

2:05:24He was so mad. I've never seen someone look more. He literally shot, like looked daggers through this guy's soul. It was so funny. Bolled him over like he was Derrick Henry. Yeah. And then just stood over him, staring him down. Don't get in Ken Rosenthal's shot. Like, hey, what the fuck? That's a man right there. And then he gave a little like, I'm sorry afterwards. But you can't hide what his initial reaction was. No. His initial reaction was like, yeah, a running back, getting into the end zone on like a fourth and one from the one. I don't think he gave it. I don't think he gave it. I'm sorry.

2:05:54No. He started shaking his head as he's walking away. He's like, you motherfucker, why would you be there?

2:05:58PFT Commenter:He was so pissed. We got to tell our story, even though we've told it before. Someone tweeted at me today. It's every time I see Ken Rosenthal. Hank and I on the flight with Ken Rosenthal sitting across from us. I forgot about it. I forgot about it until someone tweeted me because I tweeted the video this morning when I first saw it. and someone was like every time i see ken rosenthal i think of the story of you and hank told told on the podcast a few years ago it's actually like seven years ago we get we get i think we're going to miami we got to miami ken rosenthal just in this we land the seat belt thing goes off everyone stands up ken rosenthal in one just perfect motion hopped up onto his seat to get his to go to his overhead compartment and get his bag down.

2:06:52PFT Commenter:And Hank and I witnessed it, and we were just dying laughing. Was he wearing a bow tie? I think he might have been. I don't know. He was probably in like a quarter zip. But it was such a move that we knew he did that every time because he did it so quickly. It was just like ding, boom, he hopped right up, grabbed his bag, hopped right down. Sports journalist. Never seen it before. They're creatures of habit. If he did that once, that means he does that every time he's on a plane. I got a system. Hey, good. I was just because you're sitting right across from me like, did we just that? Is that really what just happened?

2:07:22And you're right. He does not like wave to him to say, I'm sorry. He's got his palm up. Like, what the fuck are you doing? He's mad. I thought the palm was down being like, my bad. No, he's just like, what the fuck, asshole?

2:07:33PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Okay. Good. Who's back. Good. Who's back. PFT. Great. Who's back. My who's back is another guy getting run over. Yeah. Brian Kelly. Yeah. Got run over again on the sidelines. We'll talk more about college football on Wednesday, but that was so fun. He got absolutely truck-sticked on the sidelines. I think America, I don't know if people still root for LSU, definitely not like they did when Coach O was there, but LSU's always been a likable school, and I find myself liking them in spite of Brian Kelly. I still want bad things to happen to Brian Kelly as LSU does good, and that was just a perfect moment that we got to watch.

2:08:13It was. Where it was, yes, LSU is kicking the shit out of Florida, and Brian Kelly's also maybe getting a little bit injured on the sidelines. And then he had an all-time press conference. He flipped out at a reporter for being like, yeah. Had a little Calhoun in him. Yeah, he was like, your running game's not that good, I'll just say it. And then Brian Kelly was like, did you watch the game? You see the last play of the game? Checkmate. Yeah. The guy prepsed it to you, like, oh, I know the game just ended, you don't like to do this, but, you know, what'd you think out there? And he's like, no, we're not doing this.

2:08:40That was like more bratty than Calhoun-y.

2:08:43PFT Commenter:Yeah, but when he said, you're spoiled, that's what I think you are. You're spoiled. Brian in the back, I know you love these immediate postgame sessions, but what are you seeing with your offense? Stop. We won the game 20-10. Try another question. What do you want me to tell you? I just laid it out for you. We played the game to win the game. We played the game to win the game. All right, how about third down then? What is going on with third down? It's one game. Last game, we were great on third down. You're micro. You're looking at this from the wrong perspective. LSU won the football game.

2:09:25Won the game. I don't know what you want from me. What do you want? You want us to win 70-0 against Florida to keep you happy? No, I think people want to know why you can't run the ball, quite honestly. We can run the ball. Did you see the last play of the game? That's all you need. You just need one. There's some ridiculous questions. And I'm getting tired of it. That football team just worked their tail off to get an SEC win, and you want to know what's wrong. You know what? You're spoiled. You're spoiled. This team is 17-1 at night. 17-1. Give them some respect. You're spoiled. How about that?

2:10:04I love it. By the way, last week they played Louisiana Tech. Yeah. And they won 23-7. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's a fair question.

2:10:11PFT Commenter:By the way, I have a question for you guys, and this is kind of similar, but there was a viral tweet going around that was like, here's all the apps and everything you need to watch every game today. And I know that's a big discussion because NBA has split it up, and that's different because NBA is like, that's one league. Like, college football is the one spot where I actually don't have a problem that you have to, because there was a day not too long ago, you know, 10, 15 years ago, where you couldn't watch any of these games. Yeah, because it's not like there's going to be one provider that's capable of pairing every single game because there's so many of them.

2:10:51PFT Commenter:Right. It's not like the NFL splitting up is kind of bullshit where it's like, oh, yeah, and you have Amazon, then you got to get YouTube TV and all this stuff. But, like, college football, you just didn't watch half the games because you just didn't have access to them. I'm actually, that's the one sport where I'm like, yes, thank you, that you actually have given me the chance to be able to watch every game. Yeah, and if you're a casual college football fan, guess what? You don't need all those apps. No. You just need a couple. But I'm, yeah, because I know that's like a, that's a very, like I understand it for all the other professional leagues, but college football, when I saw that one, I was like, wait, I'm pumped that I actually have access to all these games now where you used to not be able to.

2:11:30PFT Commenter:Yeah. Okay, my Who's Back of the Week, I have two. The first is Anthony Rizzo because he retired as a Cub on Saturday, all-time Cub, one of my favorite Cubs. He had an incredible day. He went in the bleachers. Mo Belesteros hit his first career home run, and it hit Rizzo in the hand. The odds of that happening are so insane, so insane. It's crazy, but also respect to everybody that was around Rizzo because they all kind of backed off and let Rizzo have a shot at it. Yeah, and then Rizzo threw it back, which was awesome, so he could have his home run ball. But, yeah, the odds of him sitting in the bleachers.

2:12:08PFT Commenter:He bought everyone a beer. He retired in a jersey that was signed by all the kids that he visited at the cancer hospital when he was a Cub. He's obviously a cancer survivor. Just an all-time, all-time guy, all-time Cub. He was there before they got good. He was there for the World Series. I was able to catch up with him on Saturday night because he had a party, and it was like just trading memories with him for like 10 minutes was so awesome. He's just the best. So really cool, like perfect day, perfect weather, everything. Got to catch that ball. He said, but he thought quick on his feet. He's like, that's why I'm retired, which is a great classic move.

2:12:48PFT Commenter:Like that's a dad joke, but it works. He's a dad. But if he catches that ball, that is the coolest moment I've ever seen. Oh, yeah. He should have brought a glove. Yeah. I was trying to get him to get in at bat. Foul ball guy would make that grab. But he's one of those, like, there's, you know, a lot of sports figures you look up to or you idolize or, you know, you put on a pedestal. He's one guy that you can because he is just the best dude ever. He actually, so at this party, like, this is how cool of a dude Anthony Rizzo is. At this party on Saturday night, I talked to these two guys came up to me and they're like, hey, big AWL has been listening from the beginning.

2:13:25PFT Commenter:I was like, how do you guys know Rizzo? He was like, Rizzo, we housed Rizzo when he was a minor leaguer in Portland, Maine. That's cool. Like 14 years ago, and Rizzo invited them out, the whole family out for his retirement. That's awesome. Isn't that insane? Yeah, good dude. Like, that's awesome. It's very, very cool. He's like, yeah, Rizzo has kept in touch with us ever since. Like, all we did was, that's what minor leaguers, you know, like, they house, the families house different players. he's kept in touch with us ever since he's always made us feel included just an awesome dude and also it's very cool that he's retiring as a Cub and just being like yeah this is where my heart is yeah I think he's doing some like ambassador work so it's cool that the Cubs are not fucking this one up bad first pitch though that's why he's retired that's why he's retired okay and my other who's back is boxing because that Bud Crawford Canelo fight was awesome I don't know if you guys are able to watch I watched in the morning because I could not.

2:14:23PFT Commenter:It started so late. I saw the highlights of it. And it was an ass kicking. Yeah, it was awesome. Boxing might be back unless... Rigged? Not rigged. Oh, one of the undercards maybe. Oh. What are you talking about? The stoppage in the undercard? Is that what you're talking about? Are you talking about Adrian Ross getting the phone call? He had a million dollar wager on Canelo and then he got a phone call right before the fight and was like, you got to switch your bet. Oh. From some unnamed guy. He's like, I just got one of those calls. Well, Crawford's really good. That's just speculation on maybe rigged.

2:14:57That's the only.

2:14:58PFT Commenter:Okay. And Canelo's kind of old. I don't know how you would rig that, though. If you're talking about the judges, everybody that watched that was like, yeah, Crawford won. That was the right decision. Yeah, I don't think Canelo would take a dive. He's a pretty proud guy. But either way, boxing back until Mike Tyson fights someone. I think he's fighting for Mayweather. Yeah, can't wait. Did you see him give a punch to Mr. Beast and almost knock Mr. Beast out? Just a body punch? It was awesome. It's going to be the worst fight ever. Yeah. But hey, if it's on Netflix, it'll be free, right? That'll be cool.

2:15:36PFT Commenter:Yeah. That'll be cool. All right, Zach. My Who's Back of the Week is the Colts owner Carly Ursae because she was not only on the sidelines again this week, headphones in, listening to every play call, and with the notepad taking down notes. She's also seen with kind of a massive Cuban-linked chain on, which I thought was a wild move from an owner. They look very powerful. I just wanted to say that she looks like a force to be reckoned with on the sideline today. I like that. Zach, is she single? I believe maybe married. Okay. Looks like a ring. No, I was going with the massive chain she's rocking here in this photo.

2:16:11Well. I just, it looked powerful. I wasn't sure if she was coming out as a debut artist, maybe dropping an R &B album, or if she was just trying to accessorize. It's like a Justin Jefferson train. Carly, if you're single. Similar.

2:16:24PFT Commenter:Zach is single. Imagine Zach owned the Colts. That'd rock. We'd still make you do the podcast. I would want nothing more. Okay. I love being here. That would be very funny if you had to helicopter in the game. Zach's just walking behind her on the sideline. Helicopter, maybe most unsafest way to travel Submarine Never mind, I retract I don't know, I'm just throwing out other ways You threw that out there James Cameron's pretty good on a sub The Challenger The Rocket, the Challenger That has to be one of the most unsafe ways, right? Those three-wheeler cars, they look pretty unsafe Oh yeah Slingshots Yeah I saw a guy in my neighborhood riding one of those Where I'm like just as What are you doing dude Like an old guy too Number one most unsafe way to travel Catapult Catapult definitely high up there Hot air balloon Yeah fuck that Hot air balloon would be very unsafe Did I ever tell you about the hot air balloon accident No I went on a hot air balloon When I was living in Texas And then like a year later That same hot air balloon went up in the air Crashed, deadliest hot air balloon accident In the history of the United States And the guy that was the pilot was my pilot And he was loaded up on like Nine different drugs Yeah, never again Hot air balloon Never again Do you guys have any picks?

2:17:55PFT Commenter:Oh Zach, do you want to say anything about the Bucs game? Bucs-Texans? I'm looking forward to the Bucs going to play in Texans I don't want to say too much What's the numbers? Three You're a piece of shit 22 Zach feels a little embarrassed That I used him as a Trojan horse In that conversation 67 Zach I would like to hear your thoughts on the game real quick Not too many thoughts I just wanted to go there Just kidding, 3 Are you going to watch this Stephen Che
