Recap
PFT CommenterJuan Soto is Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds combined
I'm gonna miss him. [Juan Soto] is 23. He's Ted Williams. He might be better than Ted Williams. He's Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds combined.
Big CatThe Washington Nationals were never going to re-sign Juan Soto
The Nationals were never going to re-sign him. So you've got a lot... the Padres aren't going to re-sign him. The Yankees are, the Dodgers are the only two teams that are going to afford Juan Soto.
Big CatJuan Soto will get a $500 million contract in free agency
The reality of the situation is that in a couple years time, when he does become a free agent, he's going to get a contract that's far going to eclipse what the Nationals offered. It's going to be $500 million. It's going to be the Dodgers or the A's—he's going to get paid a shitload of money.
Big CatThe Yankees will lose in the playoffs because they traded Jordan Montgomery
Yankees going for it, except for the Jordan Montgomery trade. That makes no sense. The Yankees are going to now lose in the playoffs because they don't have starting pitching and they traded Jordan Montgomery.
Big CatDeshaun Watson is a predator
I will go one more than scumbag. I think Deshaun Watson is a predator. And he's a bad guy, but the problem with how this all shook out is he settled with a lot of the women.
PFT CommenterThe NFL rigged the first six games of the Browns' schedule for Deshaun Watson
Also NFL rigged: the first six games that they have are the easiest schedule in the league. We mentioned that on the schedule release, that the people were saying look at this, they're setting it up.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Billy FootballThe New York Jets are an absolute wagon this year
My hot seat is the AFC East today. I visited Jets camp and I have to say they are all totally on the hot seat because the Jets are an absolute wagon. And their offense looked electric. Seriously.
Billy FootballElijah Moore is a step above everybody else in the NFL
I saw [Elijah Moore] today in person and he was making grabs all over the field. It was like, that guy is a different kind of player. Like he's a step above everybody else.
Interview
Luke FickellI would cut off Mike Vrabel's penis for a college football championship
[Big Cat]: Would you cut off Mike Vrabel's penis for a college football championship? [Fickell]: Sure. Because he's already throwing it out there and he's got plenty of kids, man. I guess he's got what he needs.
Luke FickellCincinnati will play for a championship in 2022
[Big Cat]: Predict Cincinnati's schedule and what their final record's going to be. [Fickell]: We'll play for a championship.
Mount Rushmore
Billy FootballCorn is a fruit
Corn. Corn is a fruit. Can you guys believe that? An ear of corn is not technically a fruit. Instead, each kernel is a fruit. Exactly.
