Nate Bargatze on Golf, Going Clean, and the Mt. Rushmore of Breakfast
Training camp is finally here, but the vibes in Green Bay are anything but immaculate. Jordan Love is staging a "hold-in," showing up to the facility but refusing to actually practice until the Packers back up the Brink's truck. Big Cat, ever the objective observer of the NFC North, wasn't holding back on the franchise quarterback's tactics.
Big CatJordan Love's training camp hold-in is one of the most selfish things a player has ever done
Jordan Love is the first player to do this. And it's disgusting. This is one of the most selfish things I've ever seen a player do... he's not going to practice with his team until he gets his new contract.
While Jordan Love waits for his payday, PFT pointed out that the market for quarterbacks is moving so fast that Love might end up with the richest annual contract in the league despite a relatively small sample size of elite play.
PFT CommenterJordan Love will become the highest paid player per year in the NFL
The market is speaking right now and it's saying that Jordan Love, if they—do I think they will make him the highest paid like per year. I don't know what the, which is crazy 'cause he's—a grand total. He's gonna do, he's 32 years old. So, so, so making Jordan Love the highest paid quarterback after like, such a small sample. That's the free market in the NFL. Yeah. It, it's one of those situations where you have to pay him.
Meanwhile, in New York, Aaron Rodgers is actually practicing, leading Big Cat to question the current diva hierarchy in the NFL.
Big CatAaron Rodgers is currently less of a diva than Jordan Love
Is Aaron Rodgers less of a diva than Jordan Love? Aaron Rodgers at Training Camp, Jordan Love is not a training camp.
Shaved Heads and Sunburned Dads
Joe Burrow showed up to camp looking like he’s ready to drop the hottest rap album of 1999. He’s gone full Slim Shady with a bleached buzz cut, but PFT is skeptical that the look survives until Week 1. He thinks this is strictly a training camp bonding move before Joe Cool gets back to business.
PFT CommenterJoe Burrow will not play an NFL game with his new bleached hair
I predict he will not play an NFL game with bleached hair... I think this is, this is just team building. This is just a guy being a dude, letting them make fun of him during training camp. And then I think once the regular season starts, then it's business hair.
Speaking of training camp, the guys are already predicting which locker room will be the first to implode over a game of College Football 25. With every player in the league currently addicted to their dynasty mode, PFT thinks a certain AFC South squad is the prime candidate for a digital-induced brawl.
PFT CommenterThe Jaguars are the most likely NFL team to have a training camp fight over the new NCAA football game
I'm gonna say the Jaguars. I don't know why I was thinking that too. Yeah, Jaguars. Jaguars are gonna fight over [NCAA Football 25].
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank is on the Hot Seat for his lack of boating knowledge, despite claiming to be a licensed captain. He couldn't name a single knot or identify the golden rule of the sea. However, he did find time to praise the golf game of a former president after his recent video with Bryson DeChambeau.
HankDonald Trump is a very impressive golfer for his age
Stick to sports. But he is a very good golfer. He did the video with Bryson [DeChambeau] and he, he was impressive... with like if you or I or PFT was playing with Bryson. It's doubtful that we would be have his [score].
Big Cat's Hot Seat is tied to his gambling portfolio. He’s sitting on a Tarik Skubal Cy Young ticket at +400, and with the trade deadline looming, the rumor mill has Big Cat sweating through his shirt.
Big CatIf Tarik Skubal gets traded to the Dodgers, my Cy Young bet is in trouble
Tarik Skubal, who is the presumptive Cy Young favorite... is possibly gonna get traded... I bet it right then and there. So I have plus 400. I think he's like minus 125 now. But he might get traded to the Dodgers. If he gets traded to the Dodgers, I'm fucked. You don't want him in the National League. They only base their voting on what you did in your new league.
Our new intern, Huey, brought some heat for his first real Hot Seat segment, targeting the WNBA’s scheduling. He’s worried that a month-long break for the Olympics is going to stall out the massive momentum the league has built behind Caitlin Clark.
HewyThe WNBA's momentum will be killed by its four-week Olympic break
My Hot Seat, coincidentally... The WNBA. They won't be playing basketball for four weeks. So imagine if, like the 1988 dunk contest. It was incredible. And then the NBA just didn't happen for four weeks. All the momentum they've gained, just nothing's gonna happen.
Mt. Rushmore of Breakfast
The most important meal of the day finally got the Mt. Rushmore treatment. PFT led things off with a controversial stand against pancakes, declaring that the waffle is the superior vessel for syrup.
PFT CommenterWaffles are superior to pancakes in every way
I'm going to go waffles. Love waffles. Superior to pancakes in every way. Waffles versatile. You can go sweet... or you can go savory. The nooks and crannies make it.
Max and PFT got into a heated regional debate regarding the breakfast burrito versus the breakfast taco. While PFT is a fan of the Texas-style taco, Max argued that for the rest of the civilized world, the burrito is the undisputed king.
MaxBreakfast burritos are better than breakfast tacos outside of Austin
In Austin, you are correct [that tacos are better]. But the rest of the country breakfast burrito is always better than a breakfast taco. Where have you had a good breakfast taco outside of Austin? Breakfast tacos are good, but they're like a, they're a treat for like certain parts of the country.
As the draft wound down, PFT secured what he considers the GOAT of fast food items, while Big Cat went to the bullpen for a classic move that every guy in their 30s has pulled on a Sunday morning.
PFT CommenterThe Taco Bell Breakfast Crunchwrap is the best fast food item in the entire world
This is my, maybe my favorite item that you can purchase at a fast food restaurant in the entire world. The Taco Bell Breakfast Crunchwrap. It is so fucking good. I want, I'm gonna order one tomorrow.
Big CatCold pizza is an elite breakfast food
I think it's an elite breakfast: cold slice of pizza. So good. It's zero calorie. Tastes great. Just put a little hot sauce on it. Yeah, it's great. I love, I love having pizza for breakfast.
Nate Bargatze
The funniest man in America, Nate Bargatze, joined the show to talk about his meteoric rise over the last year and his obsession with golf. He discussed the challenges of staying a "regular guy" when you're selling out arenas and why he chooses to keep his act clean in an industry that usually leans the other way. Before he left, the Nashville native gave us his outlook on the Titans' upcoming season under Will Levis.
Nate BargatzeThe Titans will make the playoffs in 2024
I did Titans make the playoffs and I'm excited. I, I love Will Levis, the quarterback. We got De Hop, DeAndre Hopkins. We got... the Sneed dude from Kansas City that we've got. And so I think, I mean... Houston's going to be, it'll be a tough division, but I think, I think we can do it. I think we can get the playoffs.
Hopefully, Nate's year off involves more golf and fewer leg-severing shark videos on his Twitter timeline.
