Caeleb Dressel, Pacman Jones, and the Mt. Rushmore of Rom-Coms
We’ve reached that glorious eye of the hurricane where the summer is winding down and the NFL is staring us right in the face. Big Cat and PFT started the show by checking in on the absolute disaster unfolding in Jacksonville. Urban Meyer is currently treating a locker room of millionaires like they’re Ohio State freshmen, complete with boom mics and hydration lectures. Big Cat isn't buying the hype for even a second.
Big CatThe Jaguars already hate Urban Meyer
I think the Jaguars already hate Urban Meyer. I think that Trevor Lawrence hates Urban Meyer. Yeah. You know what Urban Meyer is doing? He's doing the old Mike Martz on offense. I'm not gonna leave anybody in there to protect you... I've heard some of the players aren't thrilled with him either.
It’s the classic college-coach-to-pro transition where the guy thinks he’s a drill sergeant. If history tells us anything, the expiration date on this experiment is coming up fast.
Big CatUrban Meyer will be out of the NFL within two years
I don't think it's going to work. I think that he's going to be out of the league... This is right now a clip that we're saying that is absolutely going to be used against us in like two years. When you put your, put your, I I've said it when he got hired, I don't think it's going to work.
Teddy Covers and the Stafford Hype
The Denver Broncos officially named Teddy Bridgewater the starter, which basically means the Drew Lock era of dancing and practice highlights has come to a screeching halt. While it might not be the most exciting move for highlights, it’s a massive win for anyone with a gambling account. PFT is already looking at the board for where Teddy can make some money.
PFT CommenterTeddy Bridgewater is 23-8 against the spread in his last 31 starts as an underdog
Here's the main takeaway from Teddy Bridgewater being named the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos. He is 23 and eight against the spread in his last 31 starts as an underdog. When Teddy Bridgewater is an underdog, bet on Teddy Bridgewater.
Meanwhile, in LA, the Matthew Stafford hype train has reached terminal velocity. Everyone is acting like he’s a lock for the Hall of Fame now that he’s out of Detroit, but Big Cat is wondering if we’re all just setting ourselves up for a massive disappointment. Stafford is out here signing yoga deals and looking lean, which has the guys worried he's lost that 'fat Stafford' magic that made him great.
PFT CommenterMatthew Stafford signing a yoga endorsement deal is a major red flag
He signed two endorsements deals this off season... Second with a yoga apparel company. So no more wide nine, Matt Stafford, no more fat Stafford. He's like Hollywood now. So part of what I used to like about Matt Stafford is he had a little bit chunk going... never try to be too great at anything.
Swimming Lessons with Caeleb Dressel
7x Gold Medalist Caeleb Dressel joined the show and immediately proved he's a world-class human by rescheduling because he was busy winching a van out of a ditch. After getting through the heroics, the guys got into the weeds of Olympic swimming. Apparently, everything we see on TV is a lie, specifically the color of the water. Caeleb went to war over the fact that the pool isn't actually blue.
Caeleb DresselPool water isn't actually blue; the lining is white and the water is clear
No, the water's clear... I think the walls, the walls are white, the bottom's white and the water's clear... This is the hill I'm dying on right now. The teas were definitely black... the water is clear and the lining of the pool was white.
Beyond the color of the water, Caeleb shared some of his daily habits, including a commitment to keeping the world a little cleaner.
Caeleb DresselI like to pick up at least one piece of trash every single day
I have a couple of rules throughout the day that I like to establish... I mean, that's not like the rule is like all I picked up one. I'm not just gonna like pass another one, but no, I mean, I have a couple of rules... pick up one piece of trash a day.
He also terrified everyone by casually mentioning his lung capacity. While we're all struggling to hold our breath for the duration of a commercial break, Caeleb is basically a fish who can stay under for over five minutes.
Caeleb DresselI can hold my breath for over 5 minutes
I did his [Wim Hof] technique. One day I was about to fall asleep. I was like, I'm just going to try, I'm going to try holding my breath. I dude, I made it five minutes and six seconds. Yeah. In the scariest part, the scariest part is I, I felt fine.
Rough N' Rowdy 15: Pacman vs. Bobby Laing
Things got incredibly tense when Pacman Jones and heavyweight champ Bobby Laing hopped on the call ahead of their fight at RNR 15. Pacman is treating this like a business trip, but Big Cat is putting his money on the local legend to pull off the upset.
Big CatBobby Laing will knock out Pacman Jones
I'll tell you right now? I think you're going to get knocked out... I bet you a thousand dollars. All right. All right. So he'll win. I'm saying Bobby Laing will [win].
Pacman wasn't hearing any of it. He’s been training like a pro and plans on making his debut in the ring the start of a long career in the squared circle. The trash talk was at an all-time high, especially regarding the weight clause and who has actually been tested in a real fight.
Pacman JonesI am going to defeat Bobby Laing and then continue fighting in Rough N' Rowdy
I think this is going to be my platform... I'm going to win the fight, but this is not my, this is my first fight, man... if you asked me, will this be my one and last fight? Answer is no.
Mt. Rushmore of Rom-Coms
To wrap things up, the guys drafted the Mount Rushmore of Rom-Coms with the strict rule of no Judd Apatow movies allowed. Big Cat went with a classic Chicago pick, standing by Vince Vaughn as the GOAT of the genre.
Big CatThe breakup is the best romantic comedy because of Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston
My first one is going to be my one-one is still there, The Breakup. I love that movie. Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston, Chicago. You can't get better than that. That's Vaughn at his height.
There was a heated debate over what actually constitutes a 'Rom-Com,' specifically when it comes to the Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn classic Wedding Crashers. Big Cat defended it as a love story at its core, even if it's dressed up as a bro movie.
Big CatWedding Crashers is a romantic comedy
I'll probably get some pushback with this, but game on, I think Wedding Crashers, that's a raw romcom. That's a romantic comedy... mostly a story about two bros increasing there... The main driver, the main yeah, the driver becomes yes. Owen Wilson not... when they're on the bikes in the fucking meadow and they're, you know, doing the whole scene.
Go buy the fight at RNR.com and let's have a weekend.
