Morten Andersen on 30 Years of Kicking and JOC’s Fantasy Draft Mount Rushmore
Football is finally back. Week Zero has arrived, and Big Cat and PFT are ready to trade the basketball nerd talk for actual sports anger. PFT is especially excited to get back to the things that matter, like arguing about Australian punters with neck tattoos instead of climate change. With the Florida-Miami game looming, Big Cat is ready for the return of Florida glory and the inevitable shady energy of the Miami sidelines.
Big CatManny Diaz is the perfect coach to bring Miami back because he is slightly shady
Manny Diaz is the perfect type of Miami coach where he walked in the door and was like, I'm bringing the U back. And then immediately started doing shit that pissed everyone off and was slightly shady. Manny Diaz had that boat party... He's doing the things that brings Miami back, so I'm all in on Manny Diaz.
One thing the guys aren't expecting to see on the field is the return of the turnover chain. Big Cat is convinced that once a guy who only wears different shades of grey hoodies mocks your swag, the bit is officially dead.
Big CatThe Turnover Chain is officially dead because Paul Chryst mocked it
I mean, the turnover chain. Paul Chryst killed it... Real swag is no swag. And he said, 'Turnover chain my ass.' I think when the Wisconsin head coach... says turnover chain my ass, it's over. And they tried it last year and it was weird and awkward. So I think it's over.
Jerry O’Connell and the Mount Rushmore of Draft Slots
Jerry O’Connell (JOC) stopped by the studio to talk about his new show and his absolute addiction to drafting Cleveland Browns. JOC admitted he is currently in six different leagues, including keeper leagues where he refuses to let go of Baker Mayfield.
Jerry O'ConnellBaker Mayfield is going to be a stud
I got to say, there's this running back named Nick Chubb... And we have Baker actually. By the way, he is going to be... a stud. Oh, a stud.
Then things got weird. The guys decided to do a Mount Rushmore of fantasy football draft positions in a 12-team snake draft. What followed was a confusing spiral of math and auction logic that left everyone questioning their intelligence. Amidst the chaos of picking numbers one through twelve, JOC also found time to vent about the absolute nightmare that is flying Spirit Airlines, even if you're married to Rebecca Romijn.
Jerry O'ConnellI would rather be stuck in any city in America than fly Spirit Airlines
I would rather get stuck in any city in America than fly Spirit Air. That's a fact... I click on it and bought it... my wife immediately said, 'did you buy us tickets on Spirit Air?'... we're never getting out of this airport.
Hall of Famer Morten Andersen
In an interview that only happened because he’s an AWL and hit them up while in New York, the Great Dane, Morten Andersen, joined the show. Morten shared incredible stories from a career that spanned three decades and three different NFL commissioners. He detailed his 20-month exile in a public park where he had to bribe county workers to cut the grass just so he could keep his leg ready for one last call.
He also broke down the mindset of the modern kicker and who he thinks inherited his legendary confidence.
Morten AndersenJustin Tucker has the most swagger of any current NFL kicker
Out of all the kickers in the game right now, which one do you think has the most Morton Anderson in them? Swagger? I would say Justin Tucker in Baltimore.
Fyre Fest and Huge Takes
Fyre Fest of the week featured Big Cat’s struggle with black coffee and PFT’s inability to secure a Popeyes chicken sandwich despite the national mania. PFT is ready to defend the sandwich against all haters.
PFT CommenterThe Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is one of the best sandwiches ever
Unpopular opinion that Popeye's chicken sandwich is good. I'll die on that hill. No, it's really good. And I need to have another one.
Big Cat’s Fyre Fest hit closer to home, as he’s reaching a breaking point with Max Kellerman’s recent attempt to claim ownership over the BOAT (Best Of All Time) nickname for Blake Bortles.
Big CatMax Kellerman is wrongly claiming he created the term 'BOAT' for Blake Bortles
Max Kellerman keeps talking about how he created the BOAT, and it's pissing me off... I think it was someone in the Barstool World slash Blake, and it's been around for five years now, and the fact that Max Kellerman thinks he just made it up on the spot yesterday is driving me insane.
The show wrapped up with a look at the latest Sports Illustrated feature on Hue Jackson. Big Cat isn't buying the redemption tour, pointing out that having to go on television to tell everyone you aren't a loser is usually the biggest indicator that you are, in fact, a loser.
Big CatHue Jackson stunk as a head coach
I'm just kind over the Hue Jackson, everyone should feel bad for me, woe is me. You stunk as a head coach. You could be a good offensive coordinator. You stunk as a head coach. I think that's okay to say.
Keep an eye out for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to continue being the most sensitive team in the league.
