Bubba Watson on Masters Wins, the Braves Dynasty, and Uncle Chaps Roasts
The Atlanta Braves are World Series champions, and even though Big Cat and PFT started recording while it was still the top of the sixth, the jinx didn't stand a chance. After years of 28-3 memes and Georgia football heartbreak, the city finally got its flowers. PFT immediately looked for ways the Astros could fix their cursed home field, specifically the iconic train tracks.
PFT CommenterThe Astros should blow up the train tracks at Minute Maid Park
If you're the Houston Astros, you have to blow up that train station. You have to blow up those tracks because there have been so many iconic home runs that have found their way onto or through those train tracks in the history of your franchise in the biggest possible moments that you've had. You've got to blow that fucking thing up.
Hank, ever the loyal Boston fan, couldn't help but throw a little cold water on the celebration, insisting his Red Sox were the true missed opportunity of the Fall Classic.
Big CatThe Braves have already won free agency because Ronald Acuna Jr. will be back next year
The Braves already have won free agency. Ronald Acuna [Jr.] will be back next year. That's right. Greatest free agent signing you can have. Absolutely.
The Chiefs Have Lost Their Way
Monday Night Football was a mess, with the Giants hanging around far longer than they should have against a Chiefs team that seems to have forgotten how to play normal football. PFT thinks the issue is that Patrick Mahomes has gotten too bored with the basics, leading to a constant stream of sidearm and left-handed throws that aren't landing like they used to.
Big Cat is worried about the broader team dynamic in Kansas City, specifically pointing to the production of their star tight end. While everyone focuses on the flash, the underlying stats suggest a serious decline that could sink the Chiefs' season.
PFT CommenterPatrick Mahomes is no longer capable of making a normal throw
I think they do it to keep Patrick Mahomes entertained because he's so good when he's just throwing the ball. But now it seems like he's become incapable of making a normal throw, where even the normal throws that he has, he does the different arm angles. He does the underhand. He does the left-handed stuff. Just play football, and you guys will be fine. I promise.
CFP Chaos and Trade Deadline Duds
The first College Football Playoff rankings dropped, and Cincinnati fans are rightfully furious. The Bearcats were put at number six, effectively boxed out by a committee that refused to rank any of their future opponents. Big Cat saw this coming from a mile away, noting that the committee has basically built a wall around the Power Five.
Big CatTravis Kelce is declining and it changes the Chiefs' entire team dynamic
Travis Kelce, just put in your tickler file. He still looks kind of the same, but he also is 32. And his numbers have not looked great the last few weeks. I don't think he's over the hill. But... Like, the Chiefs are predicated on Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce both being monsters. If he went from 100% Travis Kelce to 85% Travis Kelce, I think it changes the dynamic of their team. I think we're in the neighborhood of 90% Travis Kelce right now.
Speaking of Power Five conferences, Big Cat isn't convinced the ACC even deserves that label right now. With Clemson struggling, the rest of the conference looks like a mid-major in disguise.
PFT CommenterMitch Trubisky would win too many games for the Washington Football Team
The football team, we don't need to win any more games. At this point, he [Trubisky] would win us too many games, and then we would not be able to draft another quarterback. So it's pretty depressing to think about where I am as a fan, that I was over the moon thinking about that possibility.
On the NFL front, the trade deadline was mostly a dud. PFT spent the day hoping for a Mitch Trubisky trade to Washington, even though he knew deep down that the NVP might actually be too good for a team currently trying to secure a top draft pick.
Big CatPunting against the Chiefs is the new blueprint to beat them because they are broken
Now I'm saying to myself, the Chiefs, I guess, are so broken and different now that you can punt and just expect to get the ball back enough that you will win the game. [The Giants] almost did beat them. That might be the blueprint now.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne: Monkey Fiascos
Hot Seat/Cool Throne featured a legendary story out of Austin involving Texas special teams coordinator Jeff Banks, his partner "Pole Assassin," and an emotional support monkey named Gia that allegedly bit a trick-or-treater. Big Cat used the opportunity to issue a universal warning about pet ownership.
PFT CommenterOdell Beckham Jr. stinks right now
Anyone who's watched any of the Browns games could probably tell you that Odell Beckham [Jr.] stinks right now. I think he's still got something good inside him somewhere, right? Because he's still Odell Beckham. But it seems like he can't even catch the ball now.
On the Cool Throne, Big Cat theorized that Kyrie Irving’s refusal to get vaccinated might actually be the most elaborate movie promotion in history, tied to the upcoming *Matrix* release.
Big CatThe CFP committee has effectively eliminated Cincinnati before the season's end
The college football committee has essentially eliminated Cincinnati before they even get to the stretch run. Because not only were they ranked sixth, but they also didn't rank Houston or SMU... zero good games that Cincinnati can win the rest of the way. So they basically have made it impossible.
Billy Football rounded things out by putting Carson Wentz on notice, suggesting that the era of Sam Ehlinger is much closer than Colts fans realize.
Big CatThe ACC should not be a Power 5 conference in football when Clemson is bad
The ACC is so down, they don't have wins against ranked teams. I don't think the ACC should be a Power 5 conference in football. When Clemson's bad, it hurts. I really don't. It hurts.
Bubba Watson in Studio
Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson joined the show to talk about his new book, *Up and Down*. He opened up about the mental toll of professional golf, his dark days in 2017 when he dropped to 162 pounds, and why he decided now was the time to be vulnerable. On a lighter note, Bubba is 100% confident that his Georgia Bulldogs are finally ending their drought.
HankThe Celtics need to make a trade or blow it up
My hot seat is the Celtics... Absolute kind of dumpster fire early on in the season. I don't know. I think they could use a trade. I think they have... Blow it up. Not blow it up, but like, you know, a tweak tweak.
We also got into the thick of the PGA locker room drama. Bubba didn't hesitate to pick a side in the Brooks vs. Bryson beef, giving some insight into what the guys are actually like when the cameras are off.
Big CatNBA scoring is down primarily because of the new 'James Harden' foul rules
I also think the scoring has a lot to do with the James Harden rules that they're not calling the same. They're actually calling the game the way it probably should be called and not if you jump into someone, it's a foul no matter what.
Uncle Chaps Roasts the Cast
To wrap things up, the legendary Uncle Chaps called in to discuss the state of the Jaguars and deliver a much-anticipated roast session. After Urban Meyer's bar incident, Big Cat shared his philosophy on why the "almost" is often better than the actual act, though Urban might disagree.
Big CatNever trust anyone who owns a monkey or a snake as a pet
Never trust anyone who owns a monkey or a snake as a pet. They're not trustworthy... A monkey is just, it's basically you buy a monkey, it sits in your house, and it's just you set the timer for when it decides it wants to rip your face off. That's all it is.
Chaps then proceeded to dismantle everyone on the show, calling PFT an inbred Chewbacca and Big Cat a man who looks like he’d get too flirty while refinancing your mortgage.
At least Nana is in heaven watching the Braves win.
