French Montana and Alex Bregman on NFL Picks, Playoff Baseball, and Exotic Pets
The 12th man is officially back in Seattle after a thrilling Thursday Night Football showdown. Big Cat and PFT break down the Rams' one-point loss, and while most people are complaining about the refs, PFT has a different theory on why the Rams' offense looked mortal for the second week in a row.
PFT CommenterBill Belichick broke Sean McVay's brain and provided the blueprint for the rest of the NFL
I think the correct way to approach this narrative is, did Bill Belichick break Sean McVay's brain? The books, right now, there's a blueprint out there. This is Copycat League, okay? ... The defenses have caught up to Sean McVay's brain.
The conversation shifted quickly to the booth, where Troy Aikman’s pronunciation of Jared Goff—or "Golf"—raised some eyebrows. PFT is convinced that the years of hits have finally caught up to the legendary quarterback.
PFT CommenterTroy Aikman is permanently concussed
He's concussed. He's concussed permanently. When he talks about Jared Goff, he calls him Jared Goff [Goff as in Golf]. I kind of like it. All the time.
Postseason baseball is in the air, and Big Cat is already bracing himself for the inevitable heartbreak that comes with October. Between the Dodgers looking like an unstoppable force and the Cardinals' habit of winning games they have no business being in, the vibes are high and low at the same time.
Big CatThe St. Louis Cardinals are going to win games in 'stupid ways' all through October
I have a bad feeling that the fucking Cardinals are just going to do this shit all October long. ... And just do it in stupid ways and just like come back. I know. I've seen this before.
Despite the Cubs missing the dance, Big Cat isn't ready to call it a wrap on the current core in Chicago just yet.
Big CatThe Chicago Cubs' championship window is still open
The window's open. As long as Javi Baez and Kris Bryant are on the team and Anthony Rizzo, the window's open.
Week 5 is a massive slate, and Big Cat is back with a Moneyline Parlay that he insists is a total lock despite last week's disaster.
Big CatMy 'Can't Lose' Parlay for Week 5 is the Bears, Eagles, Patriots, and Chiefs
The Can't Lose Parlay of the week. It cannot lose. Drumroll. The Bears, Khalil Mack, revenge game. Philly, they're not losing to the Jets. The Patriots, they're not losing to the Redskins. And then you get to just sit back and enjoy the Sunday night football game and have the Chiefs.
In the AFC, a matchup between the Bills and Titans might seem like a mid-tier game to the casual fan, but Big Cat sees it as a massive pivot point for the playoff picture. Meanwhile, PFT is keeping a close eye on the disaster in Washington, suggesting Jay Gruden might be playing some 4D chess with his rookie quarterback.
Big CatThe Bills-Titans game will eventually decide who gets a wildcard spot in the AFC
Bill's Titans is my loser leaves town game because... whoever wins this game is going to have the tiebreaker. And I think this could be the game that eventually decides who gets that wildcard spot.
PFT CommenterJay Gruden played Dwayne Haskins early just to prove to the front office that he wasn't ready
I actually think it was [Jay Gruden] saying fuck you to Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen who want him to play Dwayne Haskins. He put Dwayne Haskins in knowing he was going to fuck up just to be like, see, I told you he wasn't ready.
Rapper French Montana joined the show for one of the most eclectic interviews in PMT history. After getting chicken delivered mid-recording, he opened up about the realities of the music industry and his collection of exotic animals, including a monkey named Julius Caesar. He offered a veteran perspective on what it actually takes to make it in the rap game.
French MontanaRapping is only 20% of being successful in the music industry
I think personally, rapping is like 20% of it. And it doesn't mean that you don't have the 100% potential and experience and lyrics and, you know, do what you do. But I feel like people forget about the business side.
Houston Astros superstar Alex Bregman also stopped by to discuss the pressure of being World Series favorites. Before getting into the grind of the MLB playoffs, the LSU alum gave his thoughts on the current Tigers squad and Joe Burrow’s chances against Alabama.
Alex BregmanLSU might put up 50 points against Alabama in Tuscaloosa this year
We got a quarterback [Joe Burrow] for the first time in a while. We might put up 50 points against Bama in Tuscaloosa. ... Hey, if we pass the 50-yard line, we're putting up 50.
Bregman also addressed his reputation as a social media firebrand, claiming he's turning over a new leaf for the postseason push.
Alex BregmanI'm staying off social media to avoid cause trouble and responding to chirps
I decided this year, you know what, I'm not going to cause that much trouble on social media. ... I won't be responding [to Trevor Bauer] anymore.
Alex BregmanThe Houston Astros are the best team in the world
We think pressure is a privilege, and we want to go out there and prove to the world that they're right and that we are the best team in the world.
To wrap things up, the crew got into a heated Fyre Fest of the Week. Hank is currently addicted to the high of moneyline underdogs, a strategy that Big Cat and PFT fear will lead to a ruinous Sunday. Big Cat also took aim at the Cincinnati Bearcats for a social media prank involving a black field that he was far too excited to see in real life.
Big CatThe Cincinnati Bearcats' black field prank was a terrible joke
Cincinnati...dying their field black for Friday night's game. I've never been more excited to bet on a team. Turns out they were just kind of like joking... that's not a good joke. Getting everyone excited about it. That's a terrible joke. I was so pumped to watch Cincinnati on an all-black field.
HankBetting every single moneyline underdog is a winning strategy
I love 11 Moneyline underdogs. ... It worked out really well for me last week, and I'm very concerned because I know it's probably not going to work out as well. ... I've convinced so many people in the office that it's a winning strategy.
If you're at the stadium this Sunday, just remember to keep your receiver gloves on and your head on a swivel.
