Curt Menefee on Fox NFL Sunday, Alien Probes, and Cubs Glory
The Chicago Cubs are officially Gucci. Big Cat is back from the brink of death after a Game 7 that nearly saw him retired from sports entirely. After a Facebook Live stream where 42,000 people watched him slowly expire in the 8th inning only to be resurrected in the 10th, the guys are riding a championship high. PFT was even generous enough to not gloat about the Yankees' future, mostly because he was too busy counting his winnings.
Big CatGame 7 of the 2016 World Series was the greatest baseball game ever played
It was maybe the greatest Game 7 I've ever watched. I mean, I'm not going to say any sport, but definitely in baseball. It was so exciting. It had a little bit of everything.
PFT CommenterI made a 'boatload' of money betting the over on the Cubs' total and the Cubs money line in Game 7
I made some coin on my bookie last night on the Cubs. Had the over on the Cubs total, and I had the Cubs winning outright money line. So I'm basically bathing in money right now.
While the celebration continues, PFT and Big Cat took a look at the landscape of the team moving forward. They discussed the $184 million rain delay speech from Jason Heyward that seemingly saved the season and Kyle Schwarber’s improbable return from a torn ACL to become a World Series hero.
PFT CommenterThe Cubs must name Jason Heyward captain next season for his rain delay speech
Jason Heyward had the greatest pump-up speech. $184 million speech is what Theo [Epstein] paid for. A players-only meeting during a rain delay. That's what you give the guy the big bucks... you've got to make Jason Heyward captain.
Big CatThe Cubs do not win the World Series without Kyle Schwarber
I mean, the Cubs don't win the World Series without Kyle Schwarber. No, it's absolutely a fact. I think he had 10 hits.
Warriors, Curses, and Choose Your Own Adventure
The guys also noted that while Chicago is the big winner, the Warriors might be the secret beneficiaries of the Indians blowing a 3-1 lead. The sting of Cleveland fans making fun of Steph Curry is officially neutralized by their own historic collapse.
Big CatThe 2016 World Series eliminated the ability for anyone to make '3-1 lead' jokes at the Golden State Warriors' expense
The true winner was Steph Curry, because any Cleveland person who tries to make fun of the Warriors can get that [the Indians blowing a 3-1 lead] thrown back in their face... it just basically eliminated the joke solely at the Warriors' expense.
In a moment of pure witchcraft, the guys decided that since the Billy Goat and the Curse of the Bambino are dead, they need to fill the void. Using their dark powers, they officially placed a PMT curse on two of the most hopeless franchises in the NBA.
Big CatThe Sacramento Kings and Brooklyn Nets will both fail to win 50 games this season due to our PMT curse
Neither the Nets nor the Kings are going to win 50 games this year... by the power in Pardon My Take and all that are curses and witchcraft.
Curt Menefee Stops By
Curt Menefee from Fox NFL Sunday joined the show in-studio to talk about his new book, *Losing Isn't Everything*. He was an incredible sport, immediately revealing that he's an award-winning listener who knows the show's segments. Curt gave us a peak behind the curtain of the legendary Fox pregame show, including Terry Bradshaw’s storytelling and why Jay Glazer is the undisputed king of the dressing room restrooms.

Every week, someone goes in and does the number two... But it's always Jay [Glazer]. We always know, every 100%, it's always Jay.
Curt also got serious for a moment, discussing how iconic losses can ruin lives for decades, citing players who still haven't gotten over major mistakes 30 years later. He even touched on the current state of the league, defending NFL ratings against the "boycott" narrative and offering his prediction for a Super Bowl XLIX rematch.
Curt MenefeeNFL ratings are down because of poor game matchups, not boycotts
The numbers on the big games... they're down dramatically. But those have been crap games this year. The matchups are horrible... Tennessee and Jacksonville is not going to do great ratings... people aren't turning off those games. They're not watching the national games. They're not watching the crap games.
Curt MenefeeThe Patriots and Seahawks will meet in a Super Bowl LI rematch
I think you're right about the Patriots. Who are they going to lose to? I'm taking Seattle. rematched of the game two years ago. I think their offensive line eventually gets straightened out.
King Stay King and Jimbo’s
The debut of "King Stay King" saw Skip Bayless and Jason Whitlock battling for the crown of the most outrageous World Series take. While Whitlock tried to claim Game 7 was more pressurized than D-Day, Skip won by suggesting Cubs fans didn't actually want to win because they cherish their "culture of misery."
PFT CommenterGame 7 of the 2016 World Series was the most pressurized event in human history
Jason [Whitlock] was coming for the crown... He said, 'Game seven was the most pressurized event, perhaps, in human history.' So thoughts and prayers to the Civil War. D-Day. Maybe if Theo [Epstein] had been working for the South, we'd all be speaking Cajun right now.
Finally, Jimbo’s of the Week made a triumphant return. Highlights included a listener who bought a Jamie Collins jersey right before he was traded to the Browns, a man who insulted a co-worker's fanny pack only to realize it was a heart monitor for an impending transplant, and a classic "phantom poop" situation during a final exam.
Don't forget to tell your wife or girlfriend she's pregnant and record the reaction for the internet.
