Bryan Cranston on Your Honor, Trey Wingo Names Names, and Week 13
We just witnessed a Wednesday afternoon NFL game that felt more like the Pinstripe Bowl than a professional football matchup, but any football is good football. The Steelers moved to 11-0 after taking down a depleted Ravens squad, yet nobody seems to actually believe they are good. Even Mike Tomlin acted like they lost after the game, and the guys are starting to think this undefeated run is the weirdest one in league history.
PFT CommenterThe Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time
Yeah, I think it's fair to say the Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time.
Big Cat is so concerned about the lack of respect for Pittsburgh that he’s actually calling for a strategic loss. He thinks the only way for the Steelers to find their edge again is to get humbled by a certain team from the nation's capital to set up a narrative-driven postseason.
Big CatThe Steelers should try to lose to the Washington Football Team to reset their season for a 'revenge tour'
I actually think that they should try to lose a game just so that everyone can be down on them and then they can come back and be like, fuck you, revenge tour in the playoffs. They should probably lose this game against the Washington football team.
Week 13 and The College Football Snub
Looking ahead to the weekend, the slate is a bit lopsided, but we have some premier matchups like Browns-Titans. PFT is keeping a close eye on the weather in Nashville, hoping for some "Tractor Cito" conditions for Derrick Henry. Meanwhile, the Saints continue to look like the juggernaut of the NFC, even if they have to deal with the Falcons always finding a way to ruin their day once a year.
Big CatThe Saints are currently the best team playing in the NFL
But if you're talking about who's playing the best right this second, it would probably be Saints. It's without a doubt the Saints.
In the college ranks, the playoff committee continues to do what it does best: ignore anyone without a massive brand name. Big Cat isn't buying the hype for the Mormons out in Utah, noting that the committee's bias against non-Power 5 schools is an unbreakable wall.
Big CatBYU has a zero percent chance of getting into the College Football Playoff
I have something against people who think that BYU has any chance, any chance, like not even a .001% chance of getting into the college football playoff... BYU is not getting in.
Bryan Cranston and The Heisenberg Legacy
The legendary Bryan Cranston joined the show to discuss his new Showtime series, *Your Honor*. He explains the three-year hiatus he took from TV to let the ghost of Walter White fade a bit, though PFT was quick to remind him that some roles—like the dentist from *Seinfeld*—live forever. Cranston remains a massive Dodgers fan and a student of the game, offering a sharp critique of the modern reliance on analytics over a manager's intuition.
Bryan CranstonPulling Blake Snell from the World Series was a mistake driven by numbers over gut
I think he [Kevin Cash] went with the numbers and didn't go with his gut... Blake Snell, no pitcher really should want to come out unless they injure themselves... he wasn't close to being done.
He also weighed in on the future of his local NFL team. While Jared Goff has his ups and downs, Cranston is bullish on the wunderkind head coach leading the Rams to the mountaintop eventually.
Bryan CranstonI am 75% sure Sean McVay will win a Super Bowl in Los Angeles
Let me say that the Rams will pull it together. And I would say, a 75% yes that McVay's stay in Los Angeles will produce a Super Bowl victory.
Trey Wingo Names Names
Friend of the program Trey Wingo stopped by to clear the air about his departure from ESPN. After 23 years in Bristol, Trey decided he was done with the 4:00 AM alarms and the grind of morning radio. While he insists there is no ill will, he did manage to drop a few names from the corporate directory, even if it was just to nominate Tim Hasselbeck as his least favorite coworker as a joke.
Before letting him go, the guys touched on the NBA's blockbuster trade involving two massive contracts and two very different point guards. Big Cat remains skeptical that changing the scenery will actually change the results for either the Rockets or the Wizards.
Big CatThe Rockets and Wizards both lost the Russell Westbrook for John Wall trade
The John Wall-Russell Westbrook trade was hilarious because it was a trade where I think both teams lost. It's essentially the status quo.
Fyre Fest and The 69 Miracle
Fyre Fest of the week featured PFT finally admitting that he "officially cares" about the Washington Football Team again. It’s a dangerous place to be, but he’s calling his shot for a divisional crown and a home playoff win.
PFT CommenterThe Washington Football Team will win the NFC East and beat the Cardinals in the playoffs
I officially care, and I think that they're going to beat the Steelers on Monday... I think that the football team is going to win the division at 6-10, maybe even 7-9. I think that we're going to win a home playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals.
To wrap things up, we witnessed a historical moment in the studio. After months of failure, Billy Football finally guessed the correct ping pong ball number. Of course, it was 69. The celebration was short-lived, however, as Big Cat realized he is still holding a 55-to-1 ticket on a Steelers Super Bowl run that he has absolutely zero faith in.
Big CatThe Steelers have zero chance of winning the Super Bowl
It's the Steelers to win the Super Bowl 55 to 1 and I'm sitting here watching them go 11 and 0 and being like, well, it doesn't really matter... In the back of my head, I'm like, no chance. Zero percent chance.
Billy is now officially authorized to teabag anyone in the office who dares to question his work ethic.
