Josh Allen, Sean McDermott, and Podcasting from a Hole in Sandusky
Grit Week has reached its peak as Big Cat, PFT, and the crew have officially hit rock bottom, literally. The guys are podcasting from a six-foot-deep hole they dug in a cornfield in Sandusky, Ohio. It’s the lowest man wins mentality in its purest form. Between Jake eating a live worm and the potential for the hole to become Billy Football’s permanent residence, it's the grittiest environment in show history.
MLB Deadline and the Mets’ Punting Strategy
The MLB trade deadline saw the New York Mets officially waving the white flag. After the high of signing Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, Mets fans are now being told the real window is years away. PFT thinks he’s found the new timeline for success in Queens.
PFT CommenterThe Mets will be World Series Champions in 2026
The team is not going to be pursuing free agents this off season or assembled team that can compete for World Series next year... 24 is looking to be more of a kind of transitory year... Definitely Mets all in '26. Remember this Uncle Stevie on this, on this podcast with the first report, Mets World Series Champions 2026.
Big Cat, however, isn't buying the "transitory year" talk and leans into a much bleaker outlook for the orange and blue.
Big CatThe Mets will not contend for a decade
I also have a report from someone inside the Mets organization who contacted me and said... I'll never see a Mets playoff game won't contend for, for a decade.
USWNT and the "Entitled" Labels
The US Women's National Team is struggling, and the guys aren't holding back after a lackluster draw against Portugal. PFT was particularly annoyed by the post-match celebrations given the team's performance throughout the group stage.
PFT CommenterThe US Women's National Team are 'entitled babies'
No, you shouldn't be celebrating like that after you tie Portugal. Zero. Zero. You only won one game against Vietnam... So act listen, you haven't won shit yet. They're entitled, they're entitled babies.
Big Cat took it a step further, suggesting that the standard for US soccer should be so high that advancing on the back of ties is actually a mark against their character.
Big CatIf the US Women's National Team had any pride, they would rescind their invitation to advance in the World Cup
If they had any pride, they would rescind their advancement. If they win the [World Cup] with two ties, if they had any dignity whatsoever... I'm disappointed.
Josh Allen and the Madden Strength Rating
Josh Allen joined the show from Bills camp to talk about his work with the Patricia Allen Fund and life in the dorms. He also touched on his Madden 24 cover and why he thinks the ratings adjustors might have missed the mark on one specific attribute.
Josh AllenI should be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, quarterback in Madden
Strength... I should be one of the, if not the strongest, quarterback [in Madden] because I'm so, so strong. But they had me a little weaker, you know.
He also gave some insight into the psychology of the Bills' locker room. While the goal is always a Super Bowl, Allen explained why the road to Vegas is paved with lessons learned from their toughest moments on the field.
Josh AllenLosing sometimes helps more than winning does
The thing is, sometimes like a loss actually helps you. Yeah. Like, it, it refocus you. It's like, all right, we should not have, like what did we do during that week that caused us to lose that game? Like, why did we play off? Why, what caused things to go awry? Like, so sometimes those losses help more than wins do.
Sean McDermott’s Wrestling Mindset
Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott sat down to discuss taking back the defensive play-calling duties and the viral story of him driving a random fan home from the airport. A two-time National Prep Champion in wrestling, McDermott explained how that background shapes his perspective on every person he meets.
Sean McDermottWrestlers have a mindset where they feel they can kick anyone's ass
If you're a wrestler, you have that and you wrestle for, you know, a number of years, you develop that mindset of, you know, you feel you could kick anybody's ass. It's in a respectful it's a respectful mindset. Like, you don't use it unless you have to, but it's always In your mind of it's there.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and the Mt. Rushmore of GOATS
During Hot Seat/Cool Throne, the guys discussed the chaos of conference realignment and the literal nerfing of the weed supply. PFT has a theory that a specific virus is responsible for Hank's recent grumpiness since he quit smoking.
PFT CommenterThe reason Hank is grumpy is because the current weed supply has been nerfed by a virus
I actually know why Hank's grumpy... weed's on my Hot Seat. There's something called a hop latent viroid going around and it basically nerfs potent weed... the nerfing of the weed is going around right now... [it's] affecting like 90% of marijuana plants in the country.
To wrap things up, the crew tackled the Mt. Rushmore of GOATS. Things got heated when Hank and Max decided to include a certain Lakers star on their list, much to the chagrin of the Chicago representation in the hole.
HankLeBron James is on the Mt. Rushmore of GOATs
We're going with LeBron James... I like our list. It's a team effort. I value, I value my teammates picks.
Big Cat kept it traditional with his top pick, doubling down on the legacy of the 90s Bulls and everything that came with it.
Big CatMichael Jordan is the GOAT of basketball, shoes, and coolness
And it's Michael Jordan. Easy. Okay. Easy pick. Mike, mj, the goat. He's the goat in basketball. He's the goat in shoes. He's the goat in coolness. He's the goat.
Don't forget to watch the YouTube version to see the fireworks display launched directly out of a hole in the ground.
