The guys talk UFC 200, HR Derby, PokemonGo, and living in July sports hell. In honor of the HR Derby today's Mt Rushmore is "things chicks dig" because "chicks dig the long ball". Former MLB All Star Dontrelle Willis joins the show to talk about the first half of the baseball season and memories from his playing days. Segments include "Talking Soccer", "Hurt or Injured" for Ronaldo. "People Forget That", "Spoilers" and the newest segment "hmmm"
Intro
Big CatThe week of the MLB All-Star Break is the worst week in sports
We are in the middle of July. We're in the dog days... this is the worst week in sports. It's so bad that Derek Jeter's got bored enough to go and get married.
PFT CommenterPokemon Go is the greatest sporting event of our lifetime
We're kind of doing a disservice by calling this Sports Hell Week because possibly the greatest sporting event of our lifetime or probably anybody's lifetime is going on as we speak, and that's Pokemon Go.
Recap
Big CatBrock Lesnar is the scariest human on Earth
The only other takeaway I had [from UFC 200] was is Brock Lesnar, I think, is the number one scariest human on Earth. The fact that he came back after five years and just demolished Mark Hunt... Brock Lesnar, I think, is my number one scariest man on Earth.
Picks
Big CatHome Run Derby participants always screw up their swings in the second half of the season
My other favorite part about the Home Run Derby is predicting which one of the participants the Home Run Derby is going to screw up their swing in the second half. Whoever wins.
Interview
Dontrelle WillisThe Chicago Cubs will win the 2016 World Series
If you were to pick the World Series right now, it sounds like the Cubs. Would you say the Cubs right now or somebody else? Yeah, I would say the Cubs.
Dontrelle WillisSkyline Chili is actually good and I love it
I love Skyline Chili... Every time, the first time I got called up to the big leagues with the Reds... I had two chili dogs. Skyline Chili has always been a classic for me, man. I can't hate on that. Skyline Chili is the best. They can't give enough cheese, baby.
Dontrelle WillisI am the reason for the flat-brim hat trend in baseball
I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, and I see all these Little Leaguers wear 8-1-8 hats, so I feel like I'm the reason for that. So, you know, I'm definitely taking silent credit for changing the game, changing the hat-fitted game.
Hurt Or Injured
PFT CommenterPortugal was a better soccer team without Cristiano Ronaldo in the Euro 2016 Final
I'm going to go with hurt because he actually made the team better. I think the question has to be asked now, like, was Cristiano Ronaldo actually holding Portugal back? So better team without him. Kind of like the whole Steph Curry situation where the boys, the lads on the pitch just really opened up the game and the spacing was better.
People Forget That
PFT CommenterPeople in Portugal speak 'Brazilian' which is why they are good at soccer
People forget that they speak Brazilian in Portugal... The two best soccer teams in the world, Brazil and Portugal, both speak Brazilian. So it makes you wonder, like, maybe more countries should start speaking Brazilian if they want to master the beautiful game.
Hmm
Big CatIt is suspicious that LeBron James still hasn't signed his contract with the Cavaliers
NBA Free Agency... LeBron James still hasn't signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hmm. Just saying. Hmm. I'm not saying, but. Hmm. Has everybody else signed? Yeah. So... he has not.
