Scott Drew and Bob Huggins on Big 12 Dominance and TNF Suck Fest
The vibes were at an all-time low to start Friday's show after the Commanders and Bears subjected America to one of the most pathetic displays of professional football ever televised. Big Cat is officially in the 'check the box score' phase of grief, pointing out that the Bears out-gained Washington by 200 yards despite failing to score from the five-yard line. PFT, meanwhile, is trying to find the silver lining in a win that probably just ruined his draft position.
TNF Therapy and the Snyder Sage
While the game sucked, the drama surrounding Dan Snyder is reaching a fever pitch. Between reports of private investigators and secret dossiers, it feels like the NFL is entering its final boss phase. PFT isn't just watching the news; he's tracking the strategy of an owner who knows where all the bodies are buried.
PFT CommenterDan Snyder is willing to take down the entire NFL with him if forced to sell
Dan Snyder's entire strategy is, if you take me out, I'm taking everybody out with you. And he is going to, Dan Snyder is willing to take down the entire NFL with him.
After the game recap, things took a turn for the weird when Billy Football was forced to eat a 'Pardon My Cheesesteak' doused in Sean Evans' hottest sauce after losing a bet. The segment nearly tore the podcast apart as Billy tried to negotiate the number of bites while Big Cat and PFT grew increasingly frustrated with his refusal to just be a man and eat the sandwich.
Week 6 Picks and Predictions
The slate for Sunday actually looks promising, which is a relief after Thursday. Hank is officially out on the New York hype train, calling for a reality check for both the Giants and the Jets as they face actual competition.
HankThe Baltimore Ravens will win by 20 and the regression starts this week for the Giants and Jets
I think everyone's riding high on the Giants and the Jets. Honestly, I think maybe it's biased just living in New York and hearing the excitement... I think the regression starts this week. The Ravens win by 20.
Big Cat is looking at the NFC East showdown between the Cowboys and Eagles. While the Cowboys' defense has been feasting on bad teams, he thinks the Philly front is a different animal entirely.
Big CatThe Eagles will cover against the Cowboys because Dallas's defense won't be able to dominate Philly's elite offensive line
I'm going with the Birds minus six against the Cowboys. I do think the Cowboys are good... The one thing that the Cowboys have been able to feast on... [is] bad offensive lines. The Eagles have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL. So it won't be as easy for [Dallas's] defense to dominate this game.
Big CatIt is a mistake to bet against Patrick Mahomes as a home underdog
Mahomes never been an underdog at home. And he's also seven Oh. And one all time is an underdog against the spread. It's, this might be one of those games we look back and we're like, Wait, Patrick Mahomes is an underdog at home. How didn't everyone not hammer that?
The guys also debated which 4-1 teams are actually frauds. Big Cat isn't sold on the Vikings despite their record, and PFT is starting to think the wheels might be falling off in Green Bay.
PFT CommenterThe Green Bay Packers are currently a bad football team
Are the Packers not very good this year? The Packers might be bad, although I'm, I'm not going to fall for that trap... [but] as they stand right now are bad.
Big CatThe Minnesota Vikings are not a good team despite their 4-1 record
Are we sure the Vikings are good? ... The only real good team they've played is they got absolutely Curb stomped by the Eagles. Are we sure the Vikings are good? ... If you're good, you don't have to, you don't have to, you don't have to tweet at Billy Football being like, Bro, we're good.
Big 12 Royalty: Scott Drew and Bob Huggins
National Champion Scott Drew joined the show to talk about building Baylor into a powerhouse. He brought a lot of conference pride to the table, noting that the Big 12's dominance isn't just a recent trend but a decade-long reality. He also broke down what he looks for when he's out on the recruiting trail.
Scott DrewA 'motor' is the most important attribute for a basketball recruit to have
I think it's something a lot of coaches wish more players had nowadays and that's a motor. And if a guy really plays hard, competes every possession, they're gonna get better.
Scott DrewBaylor is the winningest athletic program in the country since 2011 across football, men's basketball, and women's basketball
We are the winningest school in the country since 2011. Football, men's and women's basketball... we got 724 wins. The next highest is Notre Dame... [they are] 58 away from us.
Following Coach Drew, the legend Bob Huggins walked into the studio. Huggins talked about his Hall of Fame career, his days at Cincinnati, and why the Big 12 remains the premier basketball conference. He also touched on the incredible legacy of Kenyon Martin and why West Virginia will always be a basketball school at its core.
Bob HugginsWest Virginia is a basketball school
I asked Scott this question, I'll ask it to you too. West Virginia, a basketball school or a football school? Basketball school. I think that's tradition.
Bob HugginsKenyon Martin's comeback from a broken leg is one of the greatest feats in sports history
It blows my mind that a guy could like him, could break his leg and come back and play 11 years in the NBA... I'll bet you nobody's ever done that in the history of sports. With a broken leg and come back and... that's a lot of running, that's a lot of jumping and pounding.
To wrap things up, Billy tried to explain his new 'Vibe Analytics' theory for Fyre Fest, which involves calculating the percentage increase of a two-point conversion based on how many 'vibes' were generated by the previous turnover. It made about as much sense as a Bears goal-line stand.
If you don't love the guys at their Bears-Commanders, you don't deserve them at their Bills-Chiefs.
