Jimmy Tatro, Josh Allen, and Tre'Davious White on Bills Mafia and NBA Playoffs

Labor Day weekend is officially here, and Big Cat and PFT are sending us off with a massive Friday show. Between James Harden falling apart in a Game 7 and the Bucks looking absolutely lost against the Heat, there was plenty to celebrate. Big Cat hasn't missed a beat when it comes to his favorite pastime: pointing out that the Beard simply isn't a big-game player.

James Harden stinks in Game 7s.

James Harden stinks in the game 7. All is right in the world... I think I can still throw out some James Harden slander.

Harden's Game 7 performance history is statistically poorer than his regular season averages, making this a widely held opinion supported by stats.

The conversation shifted to the Bucks, who are currently down 2-0 and looking like a team that peaked in the regular season. While the internet is busy debating if Giannis is a "Pippen" who needs a "Jordan," Big Cat is already looking ahead to the inevitable exit.

The Bucks cannot beat the Heat or the Celtics in a seven-game series.

There's nothing about the Bucks team that makes me think that they can beat the Heat in seven games or the Celtics in seven games.

The Bucks lost to the Heat in 5 games. They did not play the Celtics in that postseason.

Before the interviews, the guys touched on the Kirk Cousins COVID-19 comments. PFT defended the Vikings' signal-caller in the most PFT way possible by suggesting a change of scenery would solve everything.

Kirk Cousins would win the Super Bowl if he played for the 49ers.

Kirk Cousins on the Niners would win the Super Bowl. Yeah. He's better than Garoppolo.

Cousins has never won a Super Bowl. Garoppolo reached one with the 49ers but didn't win.

Jimmy Tatro in Studio

Recurring guest and friend of the program Jimmy Tatro joined the show to promote the return of *The Real Bros of Simi Valley*. The conversation touched on his experience having COVID-19 early in the pandemic and the strange uncertainty of the virus.

I'm convinced that the more we find out about COVID-19, the more we realize we know nothing about it.

I don't know now, I just like the more we find out the more we realize we know nothing and I don't want to be like a carrier and like, I don't know. I've always been like kind of a germaphobe.

This was a common sentiment in late 2020 as scientific understanding of the virus was still evolving rapidly.

As a die-hard Lakers fan, Jimmy didn't hold back on his hatred for the other team in Los Angeles. He explained that despite the hype around Kawhi and PG, the Clippers will never truly own the city.

If you are a Clippers fan, you are clearly not actually from Los Angeles.

The Clippers are obviously no one who's actually from that area possibly could care about the Clippers. If you are a Clippers fan, you're clearly not from LA.

This is a subjective cultural claim about fandom and geography.

While Big Cat and PFT love to troll LeBron James for his wine-sipping and first-page-of-the-book reading, Jimmy is fully bought into the King's legacy in purple and gold.

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time.

I'm of the mindset that like LeBron James is the best basketball player of all time.

The GOAT debate is inherently subjective.

The Buffalo Bills are Back

Josh Allen and Tre'Davious White stopped by to talk about the high expectations in Buffalo. The legendary "throw-off" between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes is still the talk of the league, and Josh has a very specific set of stakes in mind for the winner.

The winner of my throw-off with Patrick Mahomes should get Mahomes' $500 million contract.

I always talk to the guys, you know winner gets the switch. Like winner no matter who wins we switch [contracts]... I'd be okay losing that one.

This was a joke about a competition that never formally occurred with those stakes.

Tre'Davious White claimed he's seen Josh launch balls nearly the length of the field, and Josh didn't exactly try to humble himself when asked for his max distance.

I can throw a football right around the 80-yard mark.

It's right around the 80 mark I go with it. I think the other day was that one travel pretty far and Ray. Are you thinking there you go.

Allen has verified his ability to throw roughly 80 yards in various settings and training camps.

With the season starting in empty stadiums, the guys discussed how the lack of crowd noise will change the game. Josh thinks the ability to communicate clearly at the line of scrimmage is going to be a massive boost for quarterbacks.

Empty stadiums are a definitive advantage for the offense, especially in hostile road environments.

When you go away and you go into a hostile environment kind of changes everything. The verbal that you're able to use at the line of scrimmage... but now with no fans you can be able to say everything at the line kind of take your time. So it's definitive advantage for the offense.

Offensive production across the NFL was notably higher in the 2020 season without crowd noise, supporting this view.

Bigger Than Ben Part 2

The show wrapped up with a review of the second installment of the Ben Roethlisberger documentary series, *Bigger Than Ben*. It’s a masterclass in self-indulgence, featuring Ben vlogging from his iPhone at a low angle and his doctor acting like Ben is the first person to ever recover from an elbow injury. Big Cat is convinced this entire production was greenlit just to spite the show.

Big Ben made his 'Bigger Than Ben' documentary specifically for the hosts of Pardon My Take.

I really think that he made this like there's two idiots who joke about how I'm like a dog who fakes injuries all the times. Let me make a documentary that just talking about my injury.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The documentary was produced for Roethlisberger's personal brand and likely had nothing to do with PMT specifically.

If Ben Roethlisberger doesn't win Comeback Player of the Year after showing us 17 minutes of him cleaning up dog poop barefoot in his backyard, the system is rigged.

See you all on Tuesday for the NFL preview.
