Baker Mayfield on Browns Hype, RV Life, and Mt. Rushmore of Worst Sounds

Preseason football is officially back, which means Big Cat is already losing sleep and money on first-half bets while name-dropping backup quarterbacks like Joe Webb III and Matt Schaub. While the games might be fake, the overreactions are very real. Big Cat and PFT wasted no time declaring the future of the league based on a handful of snaps in early August.

Daniel Jones is currently the best quarterback in the NFL

Daniel Jones is the best quarterback in the NFL right now.

Daniel Jones was a rookie in 2019 and while he had a decent debut, he was far from the best QB in the league, then or now.

Big Cat was equally measured, deciding that one quarter of preseason action was enough to crown the next Hall of Fame running back.

David Montgomery is the greatest running back in history

David Montgomery is the greatest running back I've ever seen in my life.

David Montgomery has had a solid NFL career, but is nowhere near the greatest running back in history.

Beyond the field, the Bosa family continues their tradition of having the most talented yet fragile lower extremities in sports. PFT noted that Nick Bosa's high ankle sprain is just the latest chapter in a saga where elite pass rushers are seemingly dipped in the Ohio River by their heels as infants, leaving them with nothing but weak knees and ankles.

Mt. Rushmore of Worst Sounds

Hank’s dad, Mr. Lockwood, joined the show for a special Team Lockwood collaboration that proved the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to being incredibly particular about strange things. The list covered everything from the soul-crushing Monday Night Football outro to the sound of a dog tinkling on a hardwood floor in the middle of the night.

The Monday Night Football outro is one of the worst sounds in sports

Thank you for watching this presentation of the National Football League on a Monday night. That sucks... you just came off a whole Sunday of football, and then that hits, and you're like, well, no more football for another fucking three days.

However, the most controversial moment came when Hank revealed a deep-seated hatred for stationary supplies. According to Hank, the sound of paper being folded is enough to ruin a day, a take so bizarre it had Big Cat and PFT questioning his sanity.

The sound of creasing paper is the worst sound in the world

This is a personal one, but the sound of folding paper, like a crease in folding paper... it's the worst sound in the world.

Purely subjective sensory opinion.

Baker Mayfield in the RV

Big Cat and PFT caught up with the most hyped man in the NFL, Baker Mayfield, inside his legendary training camp RV. Joined by backup QBs Drew Stanton and Garrett Gilbert, Baker discussed the transition from being the hunters to the hunted. PFT officially attempted to re-brand the 2019 Browns, a move that Baker seemed to take in stride despite the massive target on their backs.

The Cleveland Browns are 'America's Team' for the 2019 season

The Cleveland Browns are America's team this year, as first coined by me... I stole that take from Hawkins... but the Cleveland Browns are America's team this year.

The 2019 Browns were a disaster, finishing 6-10 and missing the playoffs, quickly losing their 'America's Team' luster.

The conversation touched on Odell Beckham Jr.’s arrival in Cleveland and the inevitable return of his classic look. While the media is busy dissecting every tweet and sideline interaction, Baker is more focused on keeping the RV stocked with Body Armor and gut-healthy kombucha.

Odell Beckham Jr. will eventually bring back his old hairstyle

I predict that the old hair is coming back... I do too.

Beckham has cycled through many hairstyles, including returns to the short blonde look, making this generally correct.

Baker also took a stand against the NCAA’s recent war on fun, specifically the crackdown on Big 12 players hurting feelings with a certain hand gesture.

The NCAA rule banning 'Horns Down' celebrations is soft

I think it's very soft. They're implementing a rule about it. Yeah. It shows the sensitivity of today's day and age.

This is an opinion on a rule change.

Big Cat, never one to let a guest leave without a massive headline, managed to corner Baker into a "full send" mentality for the upcoming season. If the predictions hold true, Browns fans are in for a historic ride.

The 2019 Browns are guaranteed to win 11 games and the Super Bowl

So I'm thinking 11. Are we guaranteeing 11? ... Okay, so that's a guarantee... Double down, guaranteed. 11 wins. ... What if you guys just say fuck it and win the Super Bowl this year? ... Full send. Guaranteed full send.

The 2019 Browns went 6-10 and were one of the biggest disappointments in NFL history.

Jimbos and a Call to Buffalo

To wrap things up, the show featured Brendan, an AWL who donated a massive amount to charity, for a round of Jimbos. Brendan, a die-hard Bills fan, got the surprise of a lifetime when Big Cat dialed up Josh Allen on the spot. Josh Allen proved he’s the ultimate man of the people by guaranteeing a specific play for Brendan in the preseason opener.

I guarantee a five-yard completion to the left side in the preseason opener

Are you going to throw a touchdown for Brendan tonight? Yeah. Well, you know what it sounds like, Josh? Since they play a lot of soft zone, you can guarantee a five-yard completion tonight. ... Left side, five or more yard completion for Brendan. That is a Josh Allen guarantee.

In the 2019 preseason opener against the Colts (August 8, 2019), Josh Allen went 6-for-11 for 66 yards. He had several completions over 5 yards, including a 14-yarder to Cole Beasley on the left side in the first quarter.

Brendan didn't stop there, showing the trademark optimism of the Bills Mafia by predicting a changing of the guard in the AFC East.

The Buffalo Bills will win the AFC East and finish 11-5 in 2019

Prediction on the Bills season? Easily 11-5. Oh, he's going to win the AFC East this year? We'll be right there.

The 2019 Bills finished 10-6 and secured a Wild Card spot, but the Patriots won the AFC East at 12-4.

It’s officially football season, so get your bets in now before the gambling gods remember they have a heart.

Matthew Stafford basically has no backup because he never goes out of games

As far as I'm concerned, Matt Stafford just never has a backup quarterback. Maybe Dan Orlovsky. But he never goes out. No, even when Matt Stafford has an elbow injury, he'll limp off the field. He just registers pain as being like, oh, I can't walk.

Stafford was historically durable during his Detroit tenure, though he did eventually miss the end of the 2019 season due to back injuries shortly after this take.

Combining Paxton Lynch and Geno Smith would only equal a quarter of Russell Wilson's talent

If you combined Paxton Lynch and Geno Smith's powers, they would be like one quarter of Russell Wilson.

Paxton Lynch never panned out, while Geno Smith eventually had a career resurgence years later, making this somewhat harsh in retrospect, though Geno was a journeyman in 2019.

Peter King should have his driver's license revoked

It's time to start asking, should Peter King have a license? He should have his license revoked. I agree with that. He is a menace. He's a threat.

Peter King did not have his license revoked, though the hosts maintained this was a matter of public safety.
