Recap
PFT CommenterThe Blue Jays are the only team with the mental criteria to beat the Dodgers in the World Series
I ran a mental simulation last night to, 'cause I was pissed off. 'cause it seems like the Dodgers were gonna win the World Series and there's nothing anybody else could do about it. I did 2000 mental simulations. I was laying in bed envisioning a team that I could picture beating the Dodgers in the World Series. And the only team that fits my mental criteria is the Blue Jays.
Big CatThe Cubs will be the only team to get swept in the Division Series
I think the Cubs are screwed because I saw Tom Fornelli our good friend who's on later on in the show, who does not like the Cubs tweets. So we're gonna get three out of four of the DS series as sweeps, and now the Yankees won. That means a Phillies are gonna win and the Cubs are gonna be the only team that gets swept.
PFT CommenterThe Chiefs have regressed into a normal good football team that loses like everyone else
It's that the Chiefs, they're starting to lose games in ways that are familiar to every other team out there to every other fan base. It's they, they look like all of us now. I'm actually starting to think that it might kind of be their regression back to being just like kind of a normal good football team.
Big CatThe NFL should have a commissioner for every division to run PR and attack ads
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a commissioner for each division? I mean, just had like commercials and stuff and you're like, yeah, hey, here at the AFC South, we actually played winning football now. ... I just wanna watch a football game and see just an attack ad on a certain division. Like, 'The NFC South sucks... they have the Bucs, but what else?'

Big CatLeBron James will not retire until the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles
I was talking to [Mark] Titus about it... he was saying that he doesn't think LeBron's gonna retire till 2028 when the Olympics are in LA. That's so much more LeBron. ... He will, that will be the last basketball. He plays the Olympics in 2028.
PFT CommenterConor McDavid's team-friendly contract was designed to make him easily tradable to a contender
This seems like it would be very easily tradable. Very, very easily tradable contract. He basically, I mean smart by him. If in a year and a half the Oilers aren't competing and he can go somewhere for a year and a half and it doesn't fuck up some team's cap.
Interview
Tom FornelliTexas A&M is the most surprising SEC team that could run the table the rest of the season
I would say Texas A&M. I do think that they're legitimately good. ... They've kind of figured things out and gotten their act together the last few weeks. ... I'm not saying that they will, I'm just saying they strike me as a team that is much better than anybody truly expected.
Tom FornelliArch Manning looks like an unpolished freshman and is not ready for the SEC
I thought like the last few years sitting on the bench developing behind Quinn Ewers is like we were gonna see a much more polished player than what we have seen to this point. He just looks like a freshman even though he is now in his third year on campus. So I think that is very alarming.
Tom FornelliOhio State's defense is definitively better than it was last year
I do think there is an argument to be made that the defense is better than last year's defense. I think [Jim Knowles] is just confusing the ever living crap out of all the quarterbacks that he has faced so far. ... Once they get to the red zone, they're just absolutely clamping down and not giving up anything.
Tom FornelliMichigan is a better team than USC and will beat them on the money line
I think the wrong team is favorite in Los Angeles. I think Michigan's a better football team than USC. ... I'm probably just gonna be on the Michigan money line. ... I think Michigan's just much better than they are along the lines of scrimmage.
Mario CristobalThe adults and coaches set the tone for a program, not the players
People always saying, well, players nowadays bullshit. Right? It the adults, the adults set the tone right and the players will follow. And we have the right kind of players with the right kind of mentality is full throttle every day, man. And you and you're honest, don't, we don't sugarcoat anything.
Mario CristobalAwarding the Heisman Trophy before postseason games are played is bizarre
The only thing I would wish for the Heisman Trophy that it was awarded when all the games were done. That whole award before these postseason games are played is absolutely bizarre to me. Like, I don't, I can't comprehend it. Never will.
