Jay Glazer on Spygate Tapes, MMA, and Should LeBron Go to Jail?
The New York Yankees are officially deceased, and Big Cat and PFT couldn't be happier to conduct the autopsy. After watching the Red Sox celebrate on the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium twice in one year, the post-mortem focused heavily on Giancarlo Stanton. He looked completely lost in the clutch, swinging at air while the lights were at their brightest. Big Cat is officially out on the Stanton experience, and Hank thinks a branding change might be the only fix.
Big CatGiancarlo Stanton is a bum
Giancarlo Stanton, I'm ready to say he's a bum. No pinstripes for you, Giancarlo. If it were an April game between the Miami Marlins and the Atlanta Braves, I'm sure you would have hit a home run in a big spot.
HankGiancarlo Stanton should change his name back to Mike Stanton to fix his hitting performance
Giancarlo Stanton needs to change his name back. That would do him a lot of good.
It wasn't just the players catching heat. Aaron Boone’s decision-making, specifically leaving Luis Severino in to die in Game 3, has the seat underneath him scorching hot. PFT suggested a total aesthetic reset for the franchise to match their current level of play.
Big CatThe Yankees should fire Aaron Boone because anyone would be better
You probably should fire Aaron Boone, and you will get someone better than him because everyone is better than him. Anyone. Luis Severino bringing him out for the fourth inning in game three on Monday night was maybe the most inexcusable thing I've ever seen a manager do.
PFT CommenterThe Yankees should be stripped of their pinstripes and forced to play in plain white uniforms after losing to the Red Sox
I think the entire Yankees team should actually be forced to play in just all white. No pinstripes for anyone.
Switching to the gridiron, Drew Brees broke the all-time passing yards record, leading to a discussion about the future of the record books. While Brees and Tom Brady trade shots now, there is a certain kid in Kansas City who seems destined to make their numbers look like middle school stats.
Big CatPatrick Mahomes will break all of Tom Brady's and Drew Brees' passing records in two years
Patrick Mahomes will pass all theirs [Brees and Brady] in like two years. Yeah, two weeks, I would say.
We also checked in on the Monday Night Football booth, which has turned into a weekly episode of "Who Can Get the Last Word?" between Jason Witten and Booger McFarland. The tension is palpable, and Big Cat and PFT are convinced this isn't ending with a handshake.
PFT CommenterJason Witten and Booger McFarland are definitely going to fight
[Big Cat] Do you think Booger McFarland and Jason Witten are going to fight? [PFT Commenter] Yes. I do too. Absolutely. If you listen to the first quarter of that game, it was ridiculous. Like they were going into the next play of the game, still trying to get the last word over each other.
Jay Glazer In Studio
NFL Insider Jay Glazer joined the show in person to talk about his transition from a young reporter with zero experience to the guy who knows where all the bodies are buried. Glazer discussed his unique approach to the job, prioritizing long-term relationships over short-term scoops. He also got into the mindset required to be an elite performer, whether it's in the Octagon or the NFL.
Jay GlazerYou have to be "fucked up" to be truly great at anything
You've got to be fucked up to be in this sport. Okay? We're different. Everybody in this sport's different. And, you know, same with football players. You've got to be fucked up to play in the NFL. You've got to be fucked up to be great at anything. You can't be kind of normal and great.
Jay GlazerIt is better to be the last reporter to break a story and be right than to be the first and be wrong 10% of the time
I'd rather be last and right and everything than first, in a bunch, and wrong 10% of the time. It's just, especially nowadays with people wanting attention and clickbait and all that stuff.
Glazer also touched on the most famous story of his career: Spygate. While the NFL thought they had destroyed every shred of evidence, Jay revealed that he still holds the trump card in his pocket. He even shared a story about a US Senator trying to strong-arm him into handing it over, which Jay naturally met with a shrug because he was too busy lifting and fighting to care about jail time.
Jay GlazerI possess the only existing copy of the Spygate video
The biggest story I ever had was the Spygate video... They destroyed what they thought was everything, and then I have the one remaining one. We aired it on Fox. It was my second week in studio at Fox... I have the only copy in existence.
We wrapped up the interview by asking Jay which NFL coach would actually win a Royal Rumble. While Dan Quinn likes to spar and Doug Marone has the tree-trunk legs, Jay pointed to one specific former player turned coach as the king of the mountain.
Jay GlazerMike Vrabel is the NFL coach who would win in a street fight against any other coach
Who do you think could just do the most damage as a coach right now off the street? Put them in a ring together... Vrabel. I would say Vrabel, though. Vrabel's off.
LeBron's Vino and Jon Gruden's Vertigo
In a segment that might lead to a CPS investigation, we looked into LeBron James admitting that he lets his 14 and 11-year-old kids drink wine. Big Cat swung wildly between wanting the King behind bars and praising his progressive parenting style.
Big CatLeBron James should go to jail for giving his kids wine
Hot take, LeBron James should definitely go to jail, and this is the worst parenting move of all time, and I cannot believe that he is poisoning his children. I'm disgusted. I deleted my screensaver of LeBron James in a Lakers uniform, and I'll probably never watch NBA again.
Big CatTeaching your kids to enjoy alcohol responsibly makes you a good father
Real take? I don't give a fuck. This is the most common thing ever... It's actually like teaching your kids how to enjoy alcohol responsibly is probably a really good father. So it's not like a novelty when they get to age 17 and they're just like butt funneling mad dogs.
Finally, we checked in on Jon Gruden, who seems to be losing his mind one press conference at a time. Between his obvious football observations and his admitted fear of flying to London, the Raiders' season is a beautiful disaster that we can't stop watching.
Big CatJon Gruden needs to stop talking to the media because his quotes are either obvious or contradictory
John Gruden just quit talking. He's just got to stop talking dude. He... in his press conference I think on Monday he was asked by a reporter how to get more turnovers and he says it starts with pressuring the quarterback... just shut up. Just come on man.
At least the Raiders can't get eliminated on a baseball field.
