Chris Bosh on the Big Three, LeBron's Dense Muscles, and Eli Manning’s Funeral
Our heroes are dead. Big Ben is out for the year getting elbow surgery, and the Giants finally pulled the plug on Eli Manning, benching our sweet boy for Daniel Jones. It feels like the end of an era for the 2004 Draft class, leaving us with only Philip Rivers and Matt Schaub to carry the torch. While the world debates the Hall of Fame, PFT and Big Cat have some different perspectives on the Manning legacy.
PFT CommenterGoing exactly .500 over a 15-year career like Eli Manning is actually very impressive
A remarkably average career outside of those two [Super Bowls]. If you can spend your entire career... he's been in the league for 15 years. If you can go exactly .500 after 15 years of playing football, that's super impressive. If you can keep any job and be perfectly average at it for that long, then you're doing something right.
Big CatEli Manning is a Hall of Famer because Super Bowl wins carry the most weight
The Super Bowl carries so much weight that I am totally fine with Eli Manning definitely being in the Hall of Fame because of those two runs. And they were incredible runs.
Big Cat isn't ready to say goodbye to Eli just yet, mostly because he thrives on the chaos of a potential late-season backup appearance.
Big CatEli Manning will play again this season after Daniel Jones gets hurt
He's going to play again this year. Daniel Jones is going to get hurt, and Eli Manning is going to come in and win the Giants a meaningless game.
Meanwhile, the Jets are in a state of absolute disaster after losing Sam Darnold to mono and Trevor Siemian to a gruesome ankle injury on Monday Night Football. Big Cat is already calling it a wrap on the season for Gang Green, despite the "dynasty" comparisons some are making between Luke Falk and Tom Brady.
Big CatThe Jets' season is already over after Sam Darnold's mono diagnosis and Trevor Siemian's injury
The point is the Jets' season is over. Luke Falk is not going to be the guy. I would assume he's not going to be the guy.
Future Hall of Famer Chris Bosh
Future Hall of Famer Chris Bosh joined Big Cat and PFT in studio to talk about his legendary career, the Miami Heat days, and his many off-court interests. He walked us through the infamous "Seven Championships" celebration and the pressure of playing with LeBron James. Bosh was refreshingly honest about the reality of NBA super teams and the fact that he was much closer to being a Chicago Bull than anyone realized.
Chris BoshI was very close to signing with the Chicago Bulls in 2010
I'm a Bulls fan. Chicago... You guys have said in retrospect that you were thinking about it... [Bosh]: It was very, very close. Yeah, man. Look, they had Joakim [Noah], young Derrick Rose, which he won MVP that year. Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich... It was very, and then their thing was two of three.
Chris BoshSuper teams have always been a part of the NBA
Super teams have always been a part of the league. You know, in the 80s, Showtime, the Lakers, Robert Parrish, Larry Bird, you know, Kevin McHale. I always tell people, the Lakers had Ron Harper. Ron Harper won five championships. They don't even mention Ron Harper.
We also got the scoop on some of the most iconic moments in Heat history, including the Ray Allen shot and the "AC Game" in San Antonio. Bosh didn't mince words when asked if he thought the Spurs rigged the temperature to slow down the Heat.
Chris BoshThe Spurs intentionally turned off the AC during Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals
[Big Cat]: Do you think the Spurs intentionally turned off the AC in that final? [Bosh]: Absolutely. Of course. That's like Red Auerbach was known. If you're in Boston, the fire things that come off or whatever... I mean, he never denied it, right? But yeah, if I'm them, I'm trying to win.
Chris BoshLeBron James cramps more than people realize because his muscles are so dense
I knew Brian [LeBron] was going to cramp, though. Yeah, because his muscles are so dense. He cramps, like, more than you think, you know, because he's so big.
Before letting him go, we had to settle the Harry Potter house debate. While PFT admitted to never reading the books, Bosh was quick to sort his former teammates. It turns out LeBron might be more of a snake than we thought, but in the "good" way.
Chris BoshLeBron James is a 'good' Slytherin
[PFT Commenter]: If you were to put you, LeBron, and D-Wade into houses in Harry Potter... [Bosh]: LeBron is Slytherin. But he's the good Slytherin.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hot Seat: Jalen Ramsey. Between demanding a trade and having "God" as his agent, Ramsey is the biggest story in the NFL right now. Big Cat thinks the Jags would be insane to let him walk, but he still expects to see him on the field this week.
Big CatJalen Ramsey will definitely play in Thursday night's game against the Titans
He will play in Thursday night's game. I'm going to put a guarantee. If he gets traded? Yeah. Because he'll get traded to the Titans.
Big CatThe Jaguars would be crazy to trade Jalen Ramsey
I think the Jaguars would be crazy to trade him. Crazy. I mean, he's really, really good. Really, really good.
Cool Throne: Mike Leach. The Pirate is back on his game, triggering the entire OCD community with an off-center tweet and then telling everyone to read his feed at their own risk. He’s moving into the meme world at the perfect time.
Big CatMike Leach will definitely get involved in the political meme wars of 2020
He's just getting into the meme game. He's just getting into it and watch out world. He's going to as soon as he catches up... he definitely will be in the political meme wars of 2020. He's going to throw his hat in that ring. Absolutely.
We wrapped up the show with Guys on Chicks, featuring a woman concerned about her boyfriend wearing the exact same "dress-up" outfit every time they visit her parents. Big Cat stood up for the guy, noting that if the play works, you keep running it.
Big CatIf a man finds an outfit that works, he should wear it every time
If you're a guy and you find something that works, you run that play until it doesn't work anymore. He got a girlfriend who feels secure enough in the relationship to introduce him to her family. That shit's working.
Stay safe out there, unless you're a Postmates driver stealing Lizzo's food.
