Recap
Big CatI don't think any of the content on Pardon My Take changed while the company was owned by Penn
In terms of the content of this show, I don't think we changed anything. Did we, PFT? ... It's just been how we've talked about gambling, which I understand that was part of the, the rules And it made sense for to, to make sure that we talked about gambling the correct way under pen.
Hard Knocks
Big CatI am officially an Aaron Rodgers fan for the 2023 season
I've never seen Aaron Rogers happier. He looks so happy. He looks so relaxed. I'm so happy for him. ... Aaron Rogers, the shackles are off. He looks like he can be himself. ... He's a great fucking guy. Great football player. I've always loved Aaron Rogers this year. That's a fact. You can't dispute that fact.
PFT CommenterNathaniel Hackett is future NFL head coach material
I think he's future head coach material. Just the way that you, it's, it tells you a lot the way that you can get along with a star quarterback if you have that trust that guy's a rising star... Once he gets that under his Belt, I think he's gonna, he's gonna turn some heads.
PFT CommenterCrows are the dumbest animals in the world
My personal big takeaway was that crows are dumb as shit. ... I've been told my whole life that crows are the smartest bird in the world. And it's a miracle that they ever get out of bed in the morning without stabbing themselves in the butthole with their own beak. Because they're so stupid that they just hold onto the back of an eagle and die of not being able to breathe.
Big CatI will bet the Eagles to win the Super Bowl for the rest of my life
I think I will probably have to bet the Eagles to win the Super Bowl for the rest of my life chasing that 22 to one. Because if they win it this year and I don't have a bet, I will be so, so upset. ... until the Eagles win their next Super Bowl, I have a future on them.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Jake MarshIf the Orioles suspend their announcer for stating facts, they should also suspend the production truck and PR team
You're suspending the broadcaster for stating those facts. Where did he get those facts from? The truck. ... Where did the truck get those facts from? The team's pr game notes in that case. Suspend all of them. ... If you're gonna just suspend him, you gotta suspend everyone else involved with making that decision of making these facts come to light.
HankShohei Ohtani's recent hitting slump is caused by the Drake curse
My Hot Seat is Shohei Ohtani. ... Drake a week ago was spotted out wearing a Shohei Ohtani jersey. And since then he is gone two for 12. So the Drake curse is back.
PFT CommenterThe Buccaneers' depth chart 'OR' listing is bad news for Baker Mayfield
My Hot Seat is the Bucks. ... At the quarterback position they have Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask listed as QB One. ... I feel like this is bad news for Baker. 'cause most people assume that Bake was gonna be QB one, right? ... This is telling me that Baker, they want Baker to be the QB one, but he's stunk in training camp, so they're like, well we can't demote him yet, so we'll just make it an or.
Big CatCarson Wentz is a bad backup quarterback
I still think Carson Wentz, even though he is better than a lot of backup quarterbacks, probably doesn't fill the backup quarterback role very well. ... You want your backup quarterback to be able to fill in for like one game. ... Chase Daniel is way better than Carson Wentz at the role of backup.

Matt OlsonHitting a home run foul is a sign that the batter will likely strike out later in that plate appearance
If anybody ever hits a foul homer during that bat, they're fucked the rest of that bat. ... There's three options from that point on: it's another homer, which is like a small percentage, or a punch out or a walk, and the punch out is the highest percentage there. ... You're like, 'Damn it, that was my one chance. I'm fucked.'
Uncle ChapsTrevor Lawrence will win the NFL MVP this year
I think he's gonna, I'm gonna put a lot of money on him winning the MVP. God, yeah. 'cause the odds have gotta be insane. Right. And he's so good. And now having Calvin Ridley... The Jags might have across the board the best skill positions.
