Recap
Big CatTrevor Lawrence has officially arrived in the NFL
Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived in the NFL. He played very well. This was officially his first game.
Big CatUrban Meyer looks miserable and doesn't like coaching in the NFL
Urban Meyer, what are you doing? Urban Meyer doesn't like coaching football. It was pretty apparent like in the first half... He just looks like he's miserable out there all the time. I don't know why he does it to himself.
Big CatThe Bengals are officially on 'frisky watch'
The Bengals, I think are officially on frisky watch. Who is more frisky? The Bengals or the Panthers. I think the Panthers... The Bengals just joined the Panthers in the frisky watch.
Picks
PFT CommenterMac Jones might be overwhelmed by the moment of Tom Brady's return to Foxborough
The moment might actually be too big for Mac Jones because he's obviously a rookie quarterback and he feels like he's got a lot of responsibility... just knowing that he's been entrusted to try to take over that legacy from Tom Brady, but then getting to see it up close and personal.
Big CatMike Tomlin is a lock to cover or win as a 6+ point underdog
I'm taking the Steelers plus seven. I realized Mike Tomlin as an underdog... Mike Tomlin is a six plus point underdog is nine, three, and one against the spread. I think they win this game outright.
PFT CommenterKirk Cousins will turn back into a 'pumpkin' on Halloween against the Cowboys
I've actually identified exactly when [Kirk Cousins] is going to turn back into old Kirk Cousins... Halloween. I think he's going to have the entire month of October this year, and then on Halloween he's playing in against the Cowboys and he's got some tougher defenses that he's going to be going up against.
Big CatDak Prescott is a great value bet at 13-1 to win the MVP
Dak Prescott, 13 to one to win the MVP because you got to look at the narrative comeback. Everyone wants, you know, America, especially the, the writers want the Cowboys to be good so they can talk about it.
PFT CommenterThe Washington Football Team's season is over if they lose to the Falcons
If the football team loses [to the Falcons], season done. Done. Because they have the hardest scheduling. And we just have, we have to get to December within like four games of 500.
PFT CommenterPanthers vs Cowboys Under 51.5 is my lock of the year
My under, this is almost a lock for me actually. In my Billy metrics. This is my first, my lock of the year so far. Panthers Cowboys under 51 and a half... every single game that the Panthers have played in this year, the total has been exactly 33.
Billy FootballThe Chiefs will 'clown' the Eagles and make them look like a clown show
My favorite is the Chiefs minus seven against the Eagles. They're going to absolutely clown [them]. No, literally they're going to make the Eagles look like clowns. Mahomes is going to run around like throw some fucking deep bomb.
Fantasy Fuccbois
Billy FootballCordarrelle Patterson is a fantasy sleeper poised for a big weekend
My sleeper is Cordarrelle Patterson. Oh this is going to be a nice catch. He can return. He can do it all. He's poised for a big game this weekend.
Interview
Justin ThomasThe 2021 US Ryder Cup team is the best of all time
I mean, it's hard to argue that we weren't. It's I mean, we put up the most points in history. I mean, selfishly I'm I might be just slightly biased, but until someone puts up 20 or 19 and a half points or 20 points, I think we have that right at this moment.
Justin ThomasMax Homa's Fortinet Championship win should have an asterisk
I'm glad you brought it up. Cause I was going to bring it up, but yeah, I think it's got to be right? [Not a real tournament]. Yeah man, I boy, I hate to do that to Max. I mean, you could also argue that it really wasn't even Max because with that mustache, it doesn't even look like him.
Justin ThomasI guarantee I will win six tournaments on the PGA Tour this season
I'm going to go with six [wins]. [That's a considerable amount of wins]. I'm trying.
CM PunkMy AEW return at the United Center is the number one moment of my career
Number one easily, number one far and away. What that represented, what the moment was far and away. Number one moment in my career, easily, easily. It's like number one. And then there's a gap. And then there's number two.
CM PunkAEW wins if they just focus on putting out a better product than WWE
The only thing we have to do is put out a better product and we win in my opinion. You know, we don't have a show that goes head to head on Mondays. We're not trying to quote unquote, put them out of business. My take on that is if we just focus on ourselves and we tighten up all our screws and we make our show better then we win.
CM PunkWWE fosters a culture where wrestlers are encouraged to step on each other's necks
Vince always fostered this, this a culture where he wanted everybody at their throat. He wanted people stepping on your neck to get to where you are and ahead of you and all that other stuff. And now I think there's wrestlers on both sides who were like, whatever, let's all go get pancakes.
CM PunkThe Blackhawks will be back in the playoffs this year
I think [the Blackhawks] will be good. Seth Jones getting Marc-Andre Fleury for absolutely nothing... I think they'll be back in the playoffs this year. Let's say that.
