Mitch Trubisky on the NVP, Buffalo Wings, and Preseason Week 2
We have officially crossed the threshold. This was the final weekend without meaningful football, and Big Cat and PFT are already in mid-season form. Between Big Ben looking like he's 25 again and the Ravens extending their preseason winning streak to 19 games, the energy is high. Billy is even ready to change his entire lifestyle based on a few Zach Wilson highlights.
Billy FootballZach Wilson will win a Super Bowl for the Jets
I was watching the highlights again today and I was like, Zach Wilson wins the Super Bowl for the Jets. I'm going to convert to Mormonism.
PFT is also buying high on the veteran resurgence in Pittsburgh. After watching Ben Roethlisberger dismantle the Lions' defense with his trademark pump fakes, PFT is ready to crown him the king of the North.
PFT CommenterBig Ben is officially my number one quarterback in the AFC North
I would have this [Big Ben] as my number one quarterback in the division. This [Ben] that we saw from the last week.
While some veterans are thriving, Big Cat is looking at the dumpster fires starting to smoke. He’s already written off the Falcons after they traded Julio Jones, and PFT is skeptical of the new regime in Philadelphia. Between rock-paper-scissors and pulling starters at the last second, the Nick Sirianni era is off to a rocky start.
PFT CommenterNick Sirianni is going to stink as a head coach
I'm ready to say that. I think Nick Sirianni is going to stink as a head coach. I think he's going to be, because he's only, he's trying to do the thing he thinks that he's Belichick already... You can already see him like trying to play the games. He did the whole rock paper scissors thing, which seemed like he was outsmarting himself a little bit.
The NVP Himself: Mitch Trubisky
The guest of honor is none other than Mitchell Trubisky, who showed up to the interview with a duffel bag containing the most prestigious award in sports: the Nickelodeon Valuable Player trophy. Mitch walked Big Cat and PFT through the surreal experience of winning the award after a playoff loss and confirmed that the blimp trophy actually doubles as a kaleidoscope.
Big CatMitch Trubisky is one of the best handoff quarterbacks in the NFL
I've given you a lot of credit in the past because I think that you are like one of the best handoff quarterbacks. Like really? You have a very quick step, you extend the arm. There's an art to handing the ball off, isn't there?
Big Cat, still mourning the end of the Mitch era in Chicago, tried to get some closure on the Matt Nagy years and the infamous double doink. Mitch handled it with grace, even as Big Cat obsessed over his elite handoff technique. While he's currently backing up Josh Allen in Buffalo, PFT sees a future where Mitch finds another starting job under the right play caller.
PFT CommenterMitch Trubisky will eventually sign with a team like the Eagles and be the guy
At the end of the season, there's going to be a team like the Eagles that's going to go out and be like, 'Hey, Mitch might be the guy. He was a first-round pick, remember?' And then they're going to get him and he's going to be good if he has a good play caller.
Mitch also gave some flowers to the guy he'll forever be linked to from the 2017 draft. He was honest about watching Patrick Mahomes from afar and realizing he's witnessing history.
Mitch TrubiskyPatrick Mahomes will be the best quarterback of all time
Mahomes is probably going to be the best quarterback of all time and that's like, you don't get to pick where you're drafted for sure. Then just decides like, Hey, I'm going to be the best of all time. Oh, cool. Just runs up the score every week.
Who's Back and Mount Rushmore
Who's Back featured a heavy dose of Little League World Series drama. Jake Marsh is officially out on the "too much sportsmanship" trend after seeing a kid high-five the opposing pitcher during a home run trot.
Jake MarshHigh-fiving the opposing pitcher after hitting a home run is over the line
The high five of the opposing pitcher is over the line and I don't support it. The pitcher runs up to home plate, high fives the batter as he's running around... That's too much for me.
PFT also drew a hard line in the sand regarding Little League coaching. If your kid is 33 years old and you're still grinding for a trip to Williamsport, you might need a new hobby.
PFT CommenterYou shouldn't be allowed to coach Little League if your children aren't in that age group
You should honestly should not be allowed to coach Little League if your children are not in that age group. Agreed. That's not a career, but you can stay on a Little League. Coach is not a job that you have for the rest of your life. You don't retire from becoming a Little League coach.
To wrap up the show, the guys tackled the Mount Rushmore of Buildings. The list included the Sears Tower (Willis Tower is a fake name), the Superdome, and the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid in Memphis. Hank decided to go off the board with a historical pick, though his theory on the labor force involved was a bit unorthodox.
HankThe Pyramids of Giza were probably built by aliens
I'm going to go with the real pyramids, Pyramids of Giza... the greatest structural engineering ever done, probably done by aliens.
We’re almost there, football is finally back next week.
