Timm Woods D&D, Goldberg, and NFL Trade Deadline Boringness
We opened up a Wednesday show in the heat of an election cycle by doing exactly what everyone needed: escaping into sports and a fantasy world. Big Cat and PFT started by cleaning up a surprisingly watchable Monday Night Football game where the Giants looked competent for exactly one half before Daniel Jones remembered he loves throwing picks. Big Cat isn't out on the Bucs just because they struggled with a trap game, though.
Big CatThe Buccaneers are still top-tier contenders because they can win with their C-game
I'm not going to like ding [the Bucs] for that because... you didn't get a A+ effort from the box and they still won with their C game, which actually is a better sign for... it's like very good. It was a trap game.
The NFL trade deadline came and went with its usual whimper. While other leagues actually move stars, NFL GMs seem terrified of their own shadows. The Patriots made a minor move, but Big Cat isn't ready to bury Bill Belichick just yet, regardless of what the cap looks like.
Big CatBill Belichick is actually doing his best coaching job this year
Bill Belichick is actually doing his best coaching job this year... He's not totally wrong when he says [they have no money]. The Patriots are paying Brady, they're paying Antonio Brown still, they're in dead cap space.
Speaking of the cap, the Saints are currently doing math that shouldn't be legal. PFT had some thoughts on how New Orleans might actually be the team to take down the entire NFL structure through the legal system.
PFT CommenterThe Saints could destroy the NFL's monopoly by suing over salary cap interference
If the Saints sue the NFL being like, 'Hey, you're interfering with the free market. We should be able to pay people whatever we want.' Then that case goes to like the Supreme Court. NFL loses its monopoly. The Saints could blow up the NFL if they want.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank put the Warriors on the Hot Seat for their "Oakland Forever" jerseys, which feels a lot like dumping someone and then wearing their sweatshirt to the bar.
HankThe Warriors' 'Oakland Forever' jerseys are total bullshit since they left town
They released jerseys for this year that say Oakland on them... It's like the Oakland forever jerseys and it got Warriors fans really mad because they left Oakland. Apparently there's like a lawsuit going on... it's messed up that they did that.
PFT took aim at Darren Rovell, who managed to get ethered by Nate Silver on Twitter, which is truly an impressive feat of being a loser.
PFT CommenterDarren Rovell is 'disqualifyingly stupid'
Darren Rovell got called 'disqualifyingly stupid' by Nate Silver today. You have to be so stupid to get disqualified from Twitter. Everyone is an idiot on Twitter, and he got put into a locker.
On a more positive note, Billy Football actually had a win for the human race. Walmart is ditching robots for humans because we are apparently cheaper and just as good at counting boxes.
Billy FootballHumans are more effective and cheaper than robots for retail inventory
Walmart has stopped using robots to do inventory because they realized that humans were actually just as effective and cheaper. So cool throne humans.
Timm Woods Returns
The real highlight of the show was the return of Timm Woods for a new D&D campaign. We picked up the adventure with the group trying to hatch dragon eggs and dealing with the aftermath of Berserker Billy’s demise. The guys have somehow managed to turn a high-fantasy quest into a series of dating show scenarios involving a Griffin and a Green Dragon. Timm’s ability to say "absolutely" to even the most depraved requests from Big Cat and PFT remains the backbone of this segment.
Goldberg
Wrestling legend and all-around badass Goldberg joined the show to talk about his transition from the NFL to the ring. We finally put to bed the rumors about his diet, because a man with traps that big was never survived on just lettuce.
He gave us some incredible insight into the physicality of his career, mentioning that while he didn't obsess over numbers, his "light" lifting days would still make most humans crumble.
I could squat nearly 800 pounds in my heyday
I could squat a little under 800 pounds. Other than that, I never really did any big lifts... If I go above 800, I don't want to snap the bars.
Goldberg also got real about the end of the road. While he still looks like he could spear through a brick wall today, he knows the clock is ticking on his time in the ring.
I will officially retire from wrestling in a couple of years
I have an expiration date on my wrestling days and it's a couple of years from now because of the slow pace that I'm going at it right at this moment.
We closed things out with Guys on Chicks, including a deep dive into whether a girl should use her long-lost identical twin to prank her boyfriend. Big Cat also offered some harsh but necessary truth to a listener wondering about a guy's intentions.
Big CatIf you have to ask if a guy is serious about a relationship, he's just trying to fuck
I think if you're asking then it's he's just trying to fuck. Like if this is like the old... if you're asking if he's into a relationship or just trying to fuck, he's probably just trying to fuck.
If you're wondering where the insects are going, just ask a bat.
