Jerry Rice on Chasing Horses, Bricks, and the MVP Race
The San Francisco 49ers finally have a blemish on their record after a Monday Night Football classic that had everything: missed kicks, overtime drama, and Russell Wilson cementing himself as the clear leader for the hardware. Big Cat and PFT are fully bought into the let Russ cook movement, even if the overtime period felt like it lasted three days.
Big CatRussell Wilson is currently at the forefront of the NFL MVP race.
Russell Wilson [is] the MVP now, forefront of the MVP race. Even though he threw that interception and over time, the people are just forgetting... Russell Wilson is fucking ridiculous.
While the Niners suffered their first loss, the real story was the absence of their star tight end. Big Cat isn't interested in a debate over the position right now.
Big CatGeorge Kittle is the best tight end in the NFL
They were missing George Kittle though... that is a big loss because he's probably the best tight end in the NFL.
There was also some serious tension regarding Monday night etiquette. Big Cat believes that once Sunday ends, you have to transition into being a productive member of society, while PFT thinks the work week requires a more liquid transition.
Big CatMonday night is for cleaning up your life, not drinking and eating wings
I'm more confused to your Monday night like Monday night is for watching football and cleaning up your life not drinking and eating what planet are you? Monday night is not your get your act together sitting at home watching money. Football with beers and wings. That's the cleanup game brother.
PFT CommenterMonday night is for easing yourself back into the work week with beers
Incorrect Monday night is ease yourself back into the work week taper off from your Sunday and your Saturday. I'm drinking.
The GOAT in Studio
Jerry Rice joined the show for an incredible look back at his career, and the man is still as competitive as he was in 1985. He confirmed the legends about his training, from catching bricks thrown by his brother to chasing down a horse named Pete in rural Mississippi just to get some cardio in. When it comes to his dominance, Jerry credited his fear as much as his hands.
Jerry RiceI was running 4.2-second 40-yard dashes during games because I was scared
Probably doing a football game, I was running 4.2s... Because I was scared and I use that I used that to my advantage. Now if you lie me up just to run a straight 40, I'm not gonna run a good time.
We also got a look into the technical side of the position. Jerry explained that catching passes from Steve Young was a complete adjustment because the ball simply moves differently coming from a southpaw.
Jerry RiceIt is harder to catch a spiral from a left-handed quarterback than a right-handed one.
It is harder to catch a spiral from a lefty. The ball spins a different direction. I had a trainer that was a lefty and he threw me so many balls... I had never caught a ball from a lefty and I had to retrain. It just became natural eventually.
Despite being retired for years, the fire hasn't gone out. Jerry looked at the current Niners roster and offered his services if Kyle Shanahan needs a veteran presence who can still give you a solid 80 receptions.
Jerry RiceI could still come back and catch 80 passes for the 49ers today.
I still got about 80 catches in me. So if the 49ers have a couple injuries, they can call me. I really do think I still could get out there. I played for over 20 years and I can still block [the pain] out and still play.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hot Seat is heating up for Freddie Kitchens, mostly because history is a flat circle for Browns head coaches who have to play the Steelers twice. PFT has the data to back up the impending doom.
PFT CommenterFreddie Kitchens will be fired after his second game against the Steelers
My other hot seat is Freddie Kitchens because according to sabermetrics he's going to be fired this week... I looked up the exact stat Romeo Crennel Eric Mangini Pat Shurmur Rod Chudzinski and Mike Pettine were all fired after their second Steelers game and Hue Jackson. So we wait this wouldn't be this week then it would be in three weeks when he plays his second. Yeah so he is officially on the hot seat.
Big Cat brought some serious "stay woke" energy to the Jeffrey Epstein situation, floating a theory involving decoy bodies and the Clinton family tree that is almost too internet-brained to be false.
Big CatJeffrey Epstein is alive and the Clintons used Hillary's brother's body as a decoy
The newest Jeffrey Epstein theory out there, he's not dead He's Alive and the clintons used Hillary's brother... who died six months ago as the body for Jeffrey Epstein which they never did a DNA test.
Meanwhile, the Houston Astros are in the middle of a PR nightmare following reports of trash-can-banging and camera-assisted sign-stealing. The guys are disgusted by the blatant cheating, though PFT found a way to make it look even better for the 2019 champs.
Big CatThe Astros' sign-stealing is blatant cheating and disgusting
The Astros have been cheating and cheating a lot... it's blatant cheating. There's I like baseball when there is like a little He's been ship a little this little that... but this seems like they were actually using high like high-tech cameras in the Outfield yet relaying it to The Dugout and real time... which is so blatant lie cheat ice gusting.
PFT CommenterThe Astros scandal makes the Nationals' 2019 World Series win more impressive
This makes the Nationals world series title even more impressive. Yeah the fact that they were able to beat him. While they're eating Cheetos... 60% of the Astros runs were scored in the first inning before the Nationals would change how they were doing their signs.
Guys on Chicks and Closers
We wrapped things up with a classic Guys on Chicks segment. The guys weighed in on everything from Mormon dating rituals to why men feel the need to include professional cheerleaders in their dating profiles. Big Cat also offered some job security for a listener's boyfriend who spends his nights screaming at middle schoolers on Call of Duty.
Big CatA boyfriend yelling at kids on Call of Duty shows passion and means he's a keeper.
Keep him. I think it shows he's got passion. If he wasn't swearing at people, that means he would be good at Call of Duty and that means that he puts in way too much time. You want your boyfriend in that perfect zone where he wants to play video games but then gets smoked so bad that he's like 'Fuck this, I'm out.'
If you aren't chasing a horse for two hours today, you simply aren't working hard enough.
