Mark Ingram and Cam Jordan on Truss Levelz, Week 4 Picks, and MLB Playoffs
Sports are officially coming out of our eyeballs. Taping during the legendary Thursday Night Football battle between the Jets and Broncos, the energy was high as Big Cat and PFT watched Sam Darnold literally get body-slammed, leave the game with a broken shoulder, and then stumble back out because it was his only chance at a win.
Big CatI never gave up on Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold, credit Sam Darnold for that run. It was awesome. I'm happy. I never gave up on that guy. But no, I did like Sam Darnold's toughness where he got body-slammed and I think he broke his shoulder but then went into the locker room was like this might be my only chance to get a win this year. I have to play.
With the MLB playoffs in full swing, Big Cat found himself doing some soul-searching after his Cleveland Indians pick went south. He realized he had been incepted by the Starting Nine crew, specifically Jared Carrabis. Beyond the results, Big Cat is calling for a total revolution in how the game is played on the diamond.
Big CatSmall ball needs to come back to baseball
There's they need to bring back small ball. Nobody's playing small ball anymore. I sound like my grandfather... You get on first base, it's easy to steal second base. You get a seeing-eye single here and there, bring that shit back. Small ball wins. That's what it's all about. You got to zig while everybody else zags. No more bunts.
NBA Finals and The Laker Spin Zone
As the Lakers take control of the Finals against the Heat, the guys are looking for any reason to discredit LeBron James. The narrative is shifting toward the supporting cast and the injury bug hitting Miami. Big Cat is already planting the flag that this isn't even LeBron’s squad anymore.
Big CatThe Lakers are Anthony Davis's team, not LeBron's
All I got right now is it's Anthony Davis's team. I think we can all agree on that. I said you fail to we really need some more injuries so that we can be like the Lakers barely [won].
They aren't just hating for the sake of hating; they’re looking for a specific schedule outcome. If the Lakers take care of business quickly, we can all focus on the NFL and college football without having to acknowledge the King's newest ring.
Big CatThe Lakers will win the NBA Finals in 5 games
Shoot, Lakers in five, Friday night. You know what, let's do it.
Week 4 Preview and The Can't Lose Parlay
NFL Week 4 is here, and the Can't Lose Parlay is sitting at a crisp 2-0 over the last two weeks. The board looks interesting, especially a weird cross-country flight for the Seahawks heading to Miami. PFT is smelling a classic trap game in the humidity.
PFT CommenterThe Dolphins will upset the Seahawks in a low-scoring game
I think something funny is going to happen here... I think that the Dolphins could do this, they could win and like a 19 to 14 game.
On the flip side, the NFC East remains a disaster. While Big Cat usually tries to find a silver lining for the birds in Philly, the performance through the first three weeks has reached a breaking point.
Big CatI am officially out on the Eagles
The Eagles are just, they're so sad. I'm done. I'm done. You're pulling the cord on him? Yeah, right. I can't. I'm thinking that they are the same team that won the Super Bowl and I'm just done, I'm done.
Truss Levelz with Mark Ingram and Cam Jordan
Our friends Cam Jordan and Mark Ingram joined the show to promote their new podcast, "Truss Levelz." They broke down the true meaning of "truss"—it's essentially the ultimate vote of confidence—and the varying levels of intensity it can reach. Big Cat didn't waste time getting into the gritty stuff, immediately confronting Mark with his favorite label for the Baltimore Ravens.
Big CatThe Ravens are officially frauds until they win a big playoff game
I've called the [Ravens] frauds until you guys win a big game... is it fair that I'm keeping you guys motivated by saying your frauds until you win a game where either you come back from a big deficit or win a playoff game?
Mark handled it like a pro, explaining that while the outside noise exists, it doesn't actually reach the huddle.
The Ravens aren't motivated by external 'fraud' labels
It motivates us. I wouldn't necessarily say that because we really don't care what people think on the outside... it's not because of you [Big Cat] saying that or anybody else saying that but it's just because of how we are in our on our team.
Cam Jordan also touched on the lingering trauma of the Saints' playoff history. Whether it's the Minnesota Miracle or the infamous Rams PI no-call, the Saints have seen it all. Cam remains skeptical that the league is ever going to give them a fair shake.
Cam JordanNFL referees intentionally do not do their jobs correctly when it comes to the Saints
At the end of the day, we all know that the refs aren't going to actually do their jobs when it comes to us.
We also got some crucial "Football Guy" insight into the aesthetics of the game. Apparently, jersey numbers aren't just about identification; they are about the vibe of the position. Mark was very clear about what a running back should and should not be wearing on Sundays.
A running back cannot wear a jersey number in the 40s
Anything in the 40s? I can't wear... I don't think I could pull the 40 off... I'm a guy to like stay in the 20s man like to stand in 20.
We wrapped things up with a Fyre Fest that included Hank’s apartment ceiling literally falling through and PFT realizing he’s going to be 37 by the time the XFL returns, officially launching his mid-life crisis.
Make sure to bet the Can't Lose Parlay and always watch out for falling bathtubs.
