Frank Gore on Harbaugh, The Bella Twins, and Thanksgiving Picks
It is officially Thanksgiving week, and Big Cat and PFT Commenter are here to shepherd you into the holiday with a massive episode featuring Frank Gore and the Bella Twins. Before getting into the festivities, the guys had to address the firing of Jason Garrett. While most people are looking at the Giants' ineptitude, PFT has a specific theory on what finally pushed the front office over the edge.
PFT CommenterPeyton Manning got Jason Garrett fired because the ManningCast predicted his play calls
I actually think that Peyton Manning got Jason Garrett fired today because when Peyton Manning predicted that call on fourth and short... Peyton Manning just buried his head in his hands... I guarantee you Gettleman watched that and was like, 'fuck, I can't have Peyton Manning predicting my calls.'
The Coaching Carousel and Rivalry Week
College football is entering its most chaotic stretch, and the coaching search at Florida, LSU, and USC has everyone on edge. Big Cat and PFT took a long look at the absolute disaster down in Austin. It turns out that winning isn't as easy as the Longhorns thought it would be after moving on from their stable past.
PFT CommenterTexas fans regret firing Mack Brown for the first time in years
If you're Texas, you regret for the first time in probably like eight years firing Mack Brown. You wish that Mack Brown had stuck around.
Big Cat went even further, suggesting that the current state of the program makes even the Tom Herman era look like a golden age by comparison. Between losing seven in a row and falling to Kansas, the bottom has officially fallen out.
Big CatTexas made a mistake by firing Tom Herman given their current dumpster fire
I'll go one further. If you're Texas, you regret firing Tom Herman... Sarkeesian is still like... they've lost seven in a row and lost to Kansas? Like, I think that's how bad it's gotten at Texas, that there's definitely Texas fans are like, wait, did we make a mistake here by firing Tom Herman?
Speaking of the Big Ten, Big Cat is honoring a legendary Nebraska fan this weekend. After reading an obituary that requested an irresponsible wager on the Huskers instead of flowers, Big Cat is doing the right thing for the gambling community.
Big CatI am betting on Nebraska to beat Iowa in honor of a fan's obituary
Milton Andrew Munson Jr., who passed away a couple days ago... in lieu of flowers, please place an irresponsibly large wager on Nebraska beating Iowa. So I will be placing a wager on Nebraska. You have to. For a dead guy, you have to.
Thanksgiving Preview and Tim Boyle Discourse
America is being forced to watch a Thanksgiving slate that features Tim Boyle versus Andy Dalton. PFT spent a considerable amount of time trying to solve the mystery of how Tim Boyle is an active NFL quarterback despite his college stats.
PFT CommenterTim Boyle should not be in the NFL
What the fuck is Tim Boyle? Why is Tim Boyle in the NFL? ... He wasn't even good at UConn. He actually sucked at UConn. And then he transferred to Eastern Kentucky and had a breakout season his senior year where he threw for 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. After sucking at UConn, he sucked at Eastern Kentucky, and now we've just agreed that he's going to be an NFL quarterback?
Naturally, because the game is so objectively bad, PFT is leaning into the chaos with his wallet. He’s backing the Lions for the pure comedy of it.
PFT CommenterI am betting on the Lions moneyline because Tim Boyle is so bad it's funny
After all that shit that I talked about Tim Boyle, I'm going to bet on the Lions' money line. I'm betting on Tim Boyle, the worst quarterback maybe ever to play in the NFL.
Big Cat isn't staying away from the Detroit-Chicago slop either. He’s betting on the game being a high-scoring shootout, which he admitted might be his most questionable logic to date.
Big CatI am betting the over 41.5 in the Bears-Lions Thanksgiving game
I'm also going to take Tim Boyle. I'm going to take the over 41 and a half in that game. It's the dumbest pick I've ever made... Wouldn't it be cool if it was a Tim Boyle-Andy Dalton shootout?
Frank Gore in Studio
Future Hall of Famer Frank Gore joined the show to talk about his transition to boxing and his legendary NFL career. Frank didn't hold back when talking about his former coach Jim Harbaugh, confirming everything we suspected about the khakis and the competitive fire.
Frank GoreJim Harbaugh will not work with you if he thinks you are a pussy
Coach Harbaugh was a badass, man... If you're a pussy, he's not fucking with you. You got to be good at sports. If you're not good at sports, he don't want to hear nothing from you.
Frank also reflected on his time at the University of Miami, specifically the 2001 team that was basically an NFL roster playing on Saturdays. When asked about the greatest player he ever shared a field with, he didn't hesitate to name a defensive legend.
Frank GoreSean Taylor was the best all-around football player I have ever been around
Sean probably one of the best football players I've ever been around, man. I'm being real, bro. Like, Sean could play any position on the football field. Like running back, receiver, linebacker, safety, corner. Anything you put him, he going to be fucking real good at it.
"If you're a pussy, Jim Harbaugh is not fucking with you."
Week 12 Picks and The Bella Twins
To wrap things up, the Bella Twins stopped by to talk about the return of their podcast and their induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. They gave us some insight into the intimidation factor of Vince McMahon and why they chose to retire from reality TV just as they were starting their families.
Before letting everyone go for the holiday, the guys locked in the rest of their Week 12 slate. PFT found a statistical anomaly involving the animal kingdom that he’s using to back the Falcons.
PFT CommenterThe Falcons will beat the Jaguars because bird teams are due to move ahead of cat teams all-time
My favorite is going to be the Atlanta Falcons. ... All time in the NFL, bird teams against cat teams are exactly 500. I think it's 209 to 209 and one. They've tied one game. This is going to be the week that it swings in favor of the bird teams.
Big Cat, meanwhile, is officially fading the Seahawks until further notice. He’s done with the medical miracles and the hype videos.
PFT CommenterI am done with the Seahawks; they are a miserable team of has-beens and losers
I think that the Seahawks are just a miserable football team filled with has-beens and losers. ... I hate watching the Seahawks on television. It's probably way worse in person.
Eat your turkey, watch the bad football, and remember that if your boss makes you work on Friday, you know what you have to do.
PFT CommenterYou should quit your job if you have to work on the Friday after Thanksgiving
The only job that you should work on this Friday would be if you're selling Christmas trees. Or a first responder... Besides that, just quit. Quit. Quit. Or just say you're sick. Blanket statement. If you work at a big box retailer and you have to go in on Thanksgiving... you will never regret quitting that job.
