Nate Robinson and Bill Burr on NFL Greatness and Stadium Snobbery
Football is back, and with it comes the realization that Chase Daniel is the most successful bank robber in the history of the United States. Big Cat was floored by the fact that the career backup has managed to carve out a ten-year career with almost zero actual production.
Big CatChase Daniel has robbed the NFL for 10 straight years
Chase Daniel has played in the NFL for 10 fucking seasons. He has made $24 million in cash earnings. We need to bring people to realize, hey, Chase Daniel has robbed the NFL for 10 straight years. He is one and one all time. So he's played two games in 10 years. That might be the greatest snake it till you make it fact of all time.
PFT Commenter shifted the focus to the Hall of Fame game, where Joe Flacco was looking like a total snack in shorts and Lamar Jackson made his debut. While Lamar showed flashes, PFT is worried about his depth chart positioning, though maybe not at the position you'd expect.
PFT CommenterLamar Jackson is currently on the roster bubble as a wide receiver
My concern isn't that Lamar Jackson's the fourth string quarterback, it's that he's like the 10th or 11th string wide receiver on that team. He needs... he's on the bubble.
The Urban Meyer Situation
The news out of Columbus dominated the start of the show. Big Cat and PFT broke down the Brett McMurphy report regarding Urban Meyer and the domestic violence allegations against Zach Smith. While the situation looks dire, Big Cat has a cynical view of how these things usually go in the Big Ten.
Big CatUrban Meyer will survive the Ohio State scandal because big-time programs protect winners
I actually think that [Urban Meyer] is going to survive it because that's how big-time football works. This guy wins a lot of football games, so we got to figure out a way to keep him. I think he'll still survive it. I think he'll get a four-game suspension right before Big Ten season.
PFT already has a roadmap for Urban’s eventual return to the sidelines, and it involves a very specific religious pitstop in South Bend.
PFT CommenterUrban Meyer will eventually coach at Notre Dame
I think he's going to resurface in a few years at Notre Dame. If there's any organization that has a history of overlooking some of their leaders' past discrepancies, it's the Catholic Church. So I could see him joining up with Touchdown Jesus.
Nate Robinson: Two-Sport Legend
NBA legend and Big 3 star Nate Robinson joined the show to discuss why he refuses to use the "R" word. He’s still hooping at a high level, but he hasn't ruled out a return to the league or even a pivot to the gridiron.
Nate RobinsonI'm never going to retire from the NBA
I'm not retired, man. I'm never going to retire from the NBA. Just leave that there.
The conversation turned to Nate’s legendary athleticism. He famously played football at Washington before committing to basketball, but he believes that if he had stayed on the field, he would have been mentioned in the same breath as Deion Sanders.
Nate RobinsonI would have been one of the greatest cornerbacks in NFL history
I'm not going to say Deion because Deion was such a great coach, but I would have been somewhere underneath primetime. I would have been right there at the primetime and playing the way that I play. I see myself as being one of the greatest corners to ever play the game.
Nate was incredibly open about his NBA journey, embracing his role as a spark plug off the bench rather than chasing a starting spot that wasn't there. He knows his value, even if his coaches didn't always let him loose.
Nate RobinsonI consider myself one of the greatest bench players in basketball history
I just knew that, all right, Nate, you're never going to be able to start. You're not going to be a starting point guard in this league, but we're going to make the best of it, and you're going to be one of the best players that ever come off the bench. And I think I did that, and I consider myself one of the greatest players that ever come off the bench to play the game of basketball.
Nate RobinsonIf coaches had let me be myself, I could have scored 20+ points in a single quarter every night
I jokingly tell them, I was like, I can do that [score 23 straight points] every night if you give me the opportunity. This is not just something that just happens. Like, I can score like this and play this way if you guys really believe and let me be myself.
Bill Burr’s Stadium Power Rankings
With Rough and Rowdy 4 in Youngstown right around the corner, Bill Burr hopped on to talk about calling the fights. He’s a genuine fan of the chaos, comparing it to the old tough man competitions and midget tossing from his youth. The conversation took a turn toward the tech world when the guys asked about Mark Zuckerberg.
Bill BurrMark Zuckerberg is an unlikable robot with a shitty haircut
I don't know why that guy, [Zuckerberg], he has such an unlikable face. He walks on stage already bombing. It's like the guy before him killed and then the second they just, I don't know if it's the guy's face, his posture, his energy, it's just everybody would hate him. He's a robot. He's got those big pupils that just look like nothing but just black in those eyes. Wrong haircut.
Bill also shared his experiences traveling to nearly every professional stadium in North America. While he’s a die-hard Boston fan, he dropped a take that might make Cubs fans want to fight him in the Rough and Rowdy ring.
Bill BurrSt. Louis Cardinals fans are the most knowledgeable fans in baseball
Best baseball fans, probably knowledgeable and also cool to their team, like forgiving and they weren't assholes, were St. Louis Cardinals fans. They know the game. They know shit like you don't make the first or the third out at third base. They support players that are in a slump. They don't do like that stupid Yankee thing where they boo Derek Jeter.
He didn't stop there, either. Bill turned his sights on the New York sports scene, which he views as a lopsided disaster once you look past the pinstripes and the Giants.
Bill BurrNew York sports outside of the Yankees and Giants is a total shit show
New York sports is basically the Yankees, with the Giants with an honorable mention. If you look at the rest of them, it is a fucking shit show. The Knicks, the Nets, the Rangers, the Mets, the Jets. I mean, it's just everybody. It's like if you combined all those years, how long it's been with all of those teams just not winning championships.
Mount Rushmore and Jimbo’s
The guys celebrated the return of football by doing a Mount Rushmore of fights they'd like to see, featuring gems like Kevin Durant vs. Russell Westbrook and Mark Zuckerberg vs. both Winklevoss twins. However, the mood dampened slightly when Big Cat looked ahead at the new officiating trends.
Big CatThe new NFL helmet tackling rule is going to kill football
The new helmet rule, the tackling helmet rule, is going to kill football... it's essentially every single hit in the NFL you can be like, is there going to be a flag? There should be a flag every single tackle.
To wrap things up, the guys shared some listener Jimbos involving a man passing out while trying to fart too hard and another guy accidentally setting his entire swimming pool on fire.
