Matthew Dellavedova on Cavs Title, Killing Snakes, and Stingray Steve's History Lesson
The Los Angeles Sparks are your WNBA champions, and while Big Cat was busy riding with the Minnesota Lynx dynasty, PFT Commenter knew the script was already written for Candace Parker. The Lynx are famously an odd-year team, but the even-year magic belonged to LA this time around.
PFT CommenterThe 2016 WNBA season was destined to be Candace Parker's year
If you follow the WNBA, you knew this was Candace Parker's season. The Los Angeles Sparks are your WNBA champions.
Big CatThe Minnesota Lynx are an 'odd-year' dynasty
Are the Lynx still considered a dynasty, or was this their dynasty year because they won in 2011? 13, 15, people forget, odd year Lynx.
Over in the MLB, the Cubs are clawing their way back into the NLCS. PFT is convinced he’s the reason for the turnaround because he finally got Joe Maddon to embrace the beauty of small ball. Big Cat admitted the logic actually started to get in his head after Ben Zobrist sparked a rally with a bunt, though he’s still terrified of what happens if Clayton Kershaw finds his elite form in a potential Game 7.
PFT CommenterThe Cubs bats woke up because they started playing 'small ball' like Mike Scioscia
I think that the Cubs won because they finally listened to me and started playing some small ball. It's called foreplay, and Joe Maddon finally figured out you've got to get to first before you get to home plate. And instead of hitting home runs, they finally learned to build a rally with some bunts, some stolen bases. I call it socialism for Mike Scioscia.
PFT CommenterThere will definitely be a Game 7 in the Cubs-Dodgers NLCS
There's going to be game seven. That's all I'm saying. I want the Cubs to win. I'm on record, but there's going to be game seven.
Apple Picking and NFL Week 7
Looking ahead to the NFL slate, the guys are calling it for what it is: a total disaster. With Ben Roethlisberger out for the Patriots-Steelers game, there isn’t a single matchup that feels like a must-watch. Big Cat suggested this is the perfect time to use the "Apple Picking" maneuver to bank some equity with your significant other.
Big CatNFL Week 7 of 2016 is an 'Apple Picking Weekend' for fans with significant others
The slate, by the way, is so bad... This is an apple-picking weekend. If you have a significant other, if you have a girlfriend, if you have a boyfriend, it's 2016, if you have a wife, whatever you got... This is when you say, 'hey honey, I was thinking maybe we could go to the farm and get some cider donuts and do some apple picking.' Boom. You missed the worst slate. That's apple picking.
In the Thursday night recap, Big Cat revealed some interesting scientific theories regarding the Packers' all-white Color Rush uniforms. Apparently, wearing white means you're wearing every color at once, making it the most colorful uniform possible. Hank was skeptical about the physics, but the logic is sound if you don't think about it too hard.
Big CatWhite is the combination of every single color
white is a combination of every single color out there so they [the Packers] actually had the most colorful uniforms people didn't realize that
Matthew Dellavedova: Grit Personified
The guys traveled to Milwaukee to sit down with the grittiest man in the NBA, Matthew Dellavedova. Fresh off a championship with the Cavs, Deli is embracing his new role as a veteran leader for the Bucks. He broke down the transition from Cleveland to Milwaukee, noting that both cities are pretty much neck-and-neck in his personal power rankings.
Matthew DellavedovaCleveland and Milwaukee are equal as cities
I mean, they're pretty similar, like smaller cities, easy to get around, no traffic, which I like. Power rank them? They're like equal. Equal right now. 1A, 1B.
Naturally, the conversation turned to LeBron James. Deli shared a story from his first Cavs training camp where LeBron essentially used him as a human ladder during a fast break. It confirmed what Deli already suspected: The King is not made of the same materials as the rest of us.
Matthew DellavedovaLeBron James is indestructible
I think he's [LeBron James] indestructible. No one's indestructible. I think LeBron is indestructible.
When he isn't shutting down Steph Curry or winning rings, Deli is apparently a cold-blooded killer in the Australian outback. He confirmed to Big Cat and PFT that he has indeed killed a brown snake with a shovel, which is significantly more hardcore than anything American athletes are doing in their off-time.
Matthew DellavedovaIndividual defense is a myth in the NBA; everyone is entirely dependent on team defense and big men doing their jobs.
I don't think anyone can guard anybody one-on-one in the league. It's a team defense thing... And if your big men aren't doing their job, you look bad. But if they do their job, you look good.
Stingray Steve’s Historical Call
Stingray Steve made his triumphant return to the show after a week off, and he didn't miss a beat. After delivering a heartbreaking call of the Wisconsin-Ohio State game that featured a "Horny Brook" sack, he pivoted to his new passion: history.
Stingray gave a legendary play-by-play of the fall of the Berlin Wall that would make any history teacher proud. He also shared a classic Stingray Steve pickup line involving a mirror in someone's pants that we suggest you do not try at home.

Mississippi State 31, Kentucky 28.
Hey JJ and Stay Woke
The Hey JJ segment took a dark turn as the guys noticed JJ Watt hasn't tweeted in 22 days. PFT and Hank have reached the only logical conclusion: JJ is no longer with us. According to their theories, the JJ Watt we see next will be a government-funded clone, much like the one currently inhabiting Stephen Hawking’s wheelchair.
PFT CommenterJJ Watt is actually dead and has been replaced by a clone to cover up his social media absence.
I think J.J. Watt's dead... I think when he comes back, that's not J.J. Watt. That's going to be a clone that they've replaced him with. J.J. Watt... could not stay off social media for this long.
HankStephen Hawking is the biggest fraud in the world and a government propaganda myth who was replaced by a clone years ago.
You once called Stephen Hawking, quote, the biggest fraud in the world. Yes, correct. I just believe that Stephen Hawking is a myth perpetuated by the government. Stephen Hawking died many years ago, but the government needed to keep up his... His propaganda so they just put a replacement Stephen Hawking in that chair.
We’re giving the Jimbo’s a week off to recharge, but the Friday Roasts more than filled the void. Between Hank being roasted for his inability to read and Big Cat being told he’s outgrowing the camera frame, it was a productive day for everyone's self-esteem.
Go enjoy your cider donuts and avoid the Browns-Bengals game at all costs.
