Coach O on LSU’s Title Run, NFL Week 8 Preview, and the Falcons' Curse
The Atlanta Falcons actually won a football game on Thursday night, which should be a sign of the apocalypse. Todd Gurley tried his absolute hardest to give it away by accidentally falling into the end zone last week, and then running out of bounds when he shouldn't have this week, but the Panthers just couldn't capitalize. Big Cat has a theory that the Falcons' streak of historic collapses is finally over because the joke has become too mainstream.
Big CatThe Falcons won't blow any more games because the internet has figured out the joke
I have a theory PFT as soon as the internet catches on to something that's when it's done. And if you watch the timeline and everyone talking in the fourth quarter, like, how are the Falcons going to blow this, right? Falcons aren't going to blow any more games now Falcons might even go on a run because as soon as everyone starts figuring it out and making the same joke.
While the internet was busy laughing at the Falcons, Trevor Lawrence tested positive for the CoCo, sending the college football world into a tailspin. Big Cat isn't buying the hype on people trying to pivot their bets based on the news, noting that chasing the gambling dragon during COVID is usually a recipe for disaster.
Big CatChasing gambling news regarding COVID-19 absences never works out
I feel like it never works out if you immediately bet Boston College for Saturday Clemson's not going to win. Like 55 instead of 45 and so like it will just blow up in your face. I just chasing it just never works. For some reason. You just can't like whenever you think you got to beat on it. You just don't
Week 8 NFL Preview and the Return of the Daddys
Looking ahead to the weekend, the board is loaded with storylines. The Browns are facing the Raiders, and despite losing a massive talent, there's a growing sentiment in the studio that Baker Mayfield might actually be better off without trying to force the ball to a certain superstar wideout.
Big CatThe Browns are a better team without Odell Beckham Jr.
We are right in the middle of the takes of the Browns better without Odell Beckham. I don't even know if it's not any I think that they kind of are... Baker is a better quarterback without Odell Beckham. Yes. Yes. They try to force the ball to O'Dell and now Baker doesn't have to worry about that and he can spread the ball around.
In the AFC North, we have a massive heavyweight bout between the Steelers and the Ravens. PFT is refusing to give Mike Tomlin’s squad any real credit yet, maintaining that the "fraud" label stays firmly attached until they prove it when the lights are brightest.
PFT CommenterThe Steelers are frauds until they win a playoff game
You know what if the Ravens beat the Steelers you have to take the f-word off of... no they're not losing the fraudulent tag if they don't... They have to win a playoff game. They have to win a playoff game. This is big.
Elsewhere, the Lions are looking to keep their "itty-bitty baby run" alive against a Colts team that Big Cat is starting to lose faith in.
Big CatThe Lions will beat the Colts and continue their 'baby run'
Colts Lions... Lions itty-bitty little ooh baby baby run could keep going here actually like them against the Colts. I am starting to doubt the Colts... I'll stick with my Lions baby run.
We also saw the return of Fantasy Daddys, which is exactly what it sounds like. Billy Football was in peak form, suggesting that Le'Veon Bell is due for a massive performance against his former employer in what can only be described as a classic toxic relationship revenge spot.
Billy FootballLe'Veon Bell will have a massive revenge game against the Jets
Le'Veon Bell avenge game against the Jets. He's gonna go off... like when you boyfriend breaks up with you and you look super hot and go hook up with a guy just to get the other team jealous. I call them. They aren't gonna do to the Jets as we may be on Bell because he plays like a pussy.
Coach O: Flip The Script
Our good friend Coach O joined the show to discuss his new book, *Flip the Script*. He talked about achieving his lifelong dream of coaching LSU and the wild ride of the 2019 season. He even gave us a little inside info on why Stephen Jones calls him "Hip Sled Ed" and confirmed that he’s still out there running for two hours a day in the Louisiana sun with no music, just his own thoughts. Coach O also touched on his former quarterback, Joe Burrow, and his future in Cincinnati.
Coach OJoe Burrow will be a championship quarterback in the NFL
Joe's gonna get a Supporting Cast will be a championship quarterback. No doubt. Yeah, you know the harder you hit Joe Duffy gets yeah, you know, you know, he's taking some hits for us and that Fiesta Bowl he took you know, I don't know if you'll get out of going for miles to come in he goes, he's one more unexpected of word know about you know, yeah. He just started on that ignites it
Even with a lingering injury, the legendary coach hasn't lost his edge. He revealed he's been dealing with a torn rotator cuff, which is the only thing currently standing between him and absolute dominance in the weight room.
Coach OI can still bench 315 pounds once my rotator cuff is fixed
I've got a torn rotator cuff the last two years and I can only close bit dumbbell, press that's it. I can't miss Preston more has been about two years. So maybe I can get it fixed. But once I get it fixed, I guarantee I'll do it [bench three plates] again. I'll let you break the story of my torn rotator.
Fyre Fest of the Week
To wrap up the show, the guys got into a truly bizarre Fyre Fest. PFT shared a harrowing tale of sleeping for ten straight hours and waking up at noon, convinced he had actually died. Big Cat is mourning the state of Wisconsin sports, as the Badgers' season is currently on life support, and he’s starting to get real anxiety about whether we’ll even get a tournament in March.
Big CatMarch Madness is at high risk of cancellation or major forfeit issues
I'm really starting to get worried about college basketball... if we don't have March Madness this year. It's going to be weird because if they have to play so many games, right if one team gets an outbreak. They basically have to Forfeit.
Setting your clocks forward this weekend doesn't just mean losing an hour of sleep; it means it's officially time for the Packers to lose their annual daylight savings game.
