Joe Flacco on Elite Longevity, Kirk Tober, and Playoff Baseball Chaos
October has officially arrived, and Big Cat and PFT are buzzing after a Thursday night that gave us everything. Kirk Cousins turned back the clock for 509 yards in an absolute thriller against the Bucs, while Pete Alonso potentially saved the Mets’ entire franchise trajectory with one swing in Milwaukee. PFT thinks the Falcons have officially inherited the chaos DNA of a certain NFC West team.
PFT CommenterThe Falcons have become the new Seattle Seahawks
The Falcons have become the Seahawks. Everything that the Seahawks have been for the last 10 years, I feel like that's, it's just utter chaos. Anytime the Falcons take the field, their last four games have been all insane.
While Kirk was doing his best Taylor Swift surfing dance on the field, Mike Evans was quietly putting together another masterclass. Big Cat is ready to start measurements for a gold jacket for Evans, who continues to be the most underrated consistent force in football.
Big CatMike Evans is a lock for the Hall of Fame and could finish top five all-time in touchdowns
Mike Evans... is gonna go down like top five six in touchdowns and receiving yards. He's just so consistently awesome. Mike Evans deserves all the credit in that respect.
Playoff Baseball and Team of Destiny Vibes
Moving over to the diamond, the Mets are doing things that don't make sense to anyone except those who believe in magic. Pete Alonso was one strikeout away from being a pariah in Queens, and now he's the king of the city. Big Cat is convinced that regardless of the payroll, this group has that special something you can't buy.
Big CatThe Mets have undeniable 'Team of Destiny' vibes
I know the Tigers are also, they're the AL team of Destiny, but the Mets, the way they keep winning games is ridiculous. ... They undoubtedly have Team of Destiny vibes.
This doesn't bode well for Max, who is already in a state of pre-emptive mourning for the Phillies. Watching Max talk himself into a loss is a spectacle of its own, leading Big Cat to diagnose him with a specific condition shared by a certain New York sports legend.
Big CatMax's pessimistic Phillies-Mets prediction is 'early onset Fleming'
There's gonna be multiple moments where like you and [Frank the Tank] are doing the same thing. And, we can be like Yeah. Early onset Fleming.
Max even went as far as to map out the exact heartbreaking sequence of a five-game series loss, proving that nobody hates their own team's success quite like a Philly fan who smells a threat.
MaxThe Phillies will lose to the Mets in five games
I mean, it's, it's going to go five. The Phillies are gonna go up 2-1. I'm going be comfortable... then the Mets are gonna have a heroic comeback in game four and then game five, they're just gonna smoke us and it's gonna be, it'll be like 4-0 Mets in game five. That's how it's gonna go.
Mount Rushmore of Months
With the calendar turning, the guys did a quick impromptu Mount Rushmore of months. Big Cat didn't overthink it, taking the month where every sport is happening at once as his top pick.
Big CatOctober is the clear 1.1 pick for best sports month
I'll take October first... October's one one... October's so good. October has, I've become everything. I've become more of an October boy.
While Big Cat focused on sports, Hank went for the vibes, arguing that the true start of summer is the only weekend that matters.

NFL Week 5 Picks and Preview
As we look toward Sunday, the London game features a red-hot Sam Darnold taking on a Jets team that is currently vibrating with dysfunction. Between 'Cadence-gate' and Robert Saleh and Aaron Rodgers definitely not hugging, things are tense. Memes is fully on board the Vikings train, even if it means crowning them as the kings of the league.
Big Cat is also looking at the Bears' upcoming stretch as the defining moment for Caleb Williams and Matt Eberflus. It starts with a revenge game against Andy Dalton and the Panthers, and for Big Cat, there is no room for error.
Big CatThe Bears season is over if they go worse than 3-2 in their next five games
The Bears next five games... If they go four in one, it's playoffs. If they go three and two, it's maybe playoffs... Anything worse than three and two? It's on to next year.
Joe Flacco Joins the Show
Our good friend and elite quarterback Joe Flacco called in from the carpool lane while waiting for his kids to get out of school. He talked about the adrenaline of coming off the bench for the Colts, his lack of knowledge regarding his own contract incentives, and why the Browns didn't even offer him a contract this offseason. At 39, Flacco is still slinging it, and he’s not looking at the exit ramp just yet.
Joe FlaccoI want to play in the NFL until I'm 45
I wanna play as long as I possibly can... at 45 [my kids] would be in high school. I, I'd love to say I'd still be playing at that point. But, you know, the situation might have to be exactly right.
He also took a trip down memory lane regarding his time in Baltimore, specifically those legendary night games where the wardrobe choice did half the work before the first snap.
Joe FlaccoWearing all-black uniforms at night in Baltimore provides an extra confidence boost
There was something about it, man, when you showed up, when you had the black jersey in your locker and it was a big game. You're like, it gave you that little extra like, nudge of confidence... we're definitely winning.
We wrapped things up with a Fyre Fest of the week where Hank admitted he's a closet hoarder and PFT lived in fear that his car's mechanical failure was actually just him forgetting how gas works.
Just remember, if the Bears lose to a ginger who doesn't sweat, the season is officially on the brink.
