Mike Florio on NFL Preview, Tommy Fleetwood Wins the Big One, and Hall of Very Good
Tommy Fleetwood finally did it. After years of being the guy who couldn't close, the most beautiful hair in golf hoisted the trophy at the Tour Championship. Big Cat and PFT were riding high after tailing an all-time email from a listener named Rob with two B’s, who insisted his tip wasn't generated by AI. The win was so massive that Big Cat had to put it into proper perspective for the golf world.
Big CatThe Tour Championship is basically all the golf majors combined
[The Tour Championship] is basically the fifth major. The only one I would say it's all the majors combined. It's an aggregate of all the majors. So [Tommy Fleetwood] is the biggest golf winner of the year.
The vibes were great until Hank started looking at the Ryder Cup projections. Despite the victory for Fleetwood, Hank is already waving the white flag for Team USA, much to the chagrin of everyone else in the room.
HankTeam USA is going to get killed by Europe in the Ryder Cup
I'm concerned for America. You were looking at the potential lineup and just being like, oh, we're gonna get killed.
Week Zero and Quarterback Dramas
College football is officially back after a rainy, muddy Farmageddon in Dublin. While most people were focused on the lack of visibility on the field, the internet was busy melting down over Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns. Between the offensive line struggles and the depth chart positioning, the takes were flying. Big Cat pointed to Kevin Stefanski’s roster management as the ultimate rebuttal to the crazier theories online.
Big CatStarting Dorian Thompson-Robinson proves Kevin Stefanski isn't racist
I actually think that Kevin Stefanski starting DTR [Dorian Thompson-Robinson] in actual NFL football games is concrete evidence of him not being racist. Correct. And it's like case closed.
In the MLB world, Big Cat realized he might have slept on a veteran reliever. After seeing the stats and hearing the buzz from Saratoga, it’s clear that a certain flame-thrower has found his fountain of youth.
Big CatAroldis Chapman is officially unhittable again
I didn't know Aroldis Chapman was just like Unhittable again. ... He's like truly unhittable again. ... 0.33 ERA over his last 30 appearances. That's insane.
Mount Rushmore: Hall of Very Good
One of the most debated drafts of the summer went down as the guys tackled the "Hall of Very Good." This isn't for the legends; it's for the guys and things that are consistently solid but just miss that elite, immortal status. Big Cat and Zac went on a run of picks that varied from NFL franchises to backyard staples and even geopolitical entities.
Big CatThe Minnesota Vikings franchise is the 'Hall of Very Good' of NFL teams
Minnesota Vikings franchise hall of very good 65 seasons. 32 playoff appearances in 65 seasons. They've literally been in the playoffs almost exactly half the time. ... They've never won a Super Bowl. They're the hall of very good franchises.
Big CatAbove-ground pools are 'very good' and belong in the Hall of Very Good
Our second pick is going to be above ground pools. ... They're very good. They're very fun. I've had a fun time in an aboveground. ... So much better than no pool.
Big CatCanada is a 'Hall of Very Good' country, but not a top-three country
Our next pick is gonna be Canada as a country, which is very good. Not Hall of Fame country... They're just very good. Seems pretty good... But have they ever been in history, a top three country? No. No. And that's okay. They're like the Scottie Pippen of countries.
Things got a bit heated when the topic of certain physical activities came up. Max tried to argue that some things are overrated, but Big Cat stood firm on the "Very Good" classification.
Big CatTitty fucking is 'very good' but not 'Hall of Fame' level
We want to take titty fucking. Yeah. It's very good. ... It's not Hall of fame. Hall of Fame is sex. ... If you're titty fucking in an above ground pool in Canada, you're having a very good time. Yeah.
NFL Preview with Mike Florio
Mike Florio joined the show to provide his annual reality check before kickoff. The conversation immediately went to the holdouts and the massive pressure facing the league's highest-paid stars. While Jerry Jones continues to dominate the headlines, PFT had his own theory about the Commanders' star receiver.
PFT CommenterTerry McLaurin has already secretly signed a new contract with the Commanders
My report now is that he [Terry McLaurin] did in fact sign on Friday and it's a secret contract and we don't know about it yet, but they're gonna release the details of the secret contract soon.
Florio didn't hold back on which quarterbacks are staring down the barrel of a make-or-break season. It’s not just about the money; it’s about the legacy of chasing the Chiefs.
Mike FlorioDak Prescott, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson have the most pressure in the NFL
I think there's a ton of pressure on Dak Prescott. He's making 60 million a year... how can you not say there's pressure on Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson to finally close the gap with the chiefs and finally deliver it.
When it came to team outlooks, Florio warned that continuity—or the lack thereof—could be the downfall of last year's darlings. He specifically pointed to Detroit's coaching changes as a major hurdle.
Mike FlorioThe Lions will struggle this year due to losing both coordinators
I don't want to doubt the Lions because I think they feed on that. But when you look at last season... the Lions have lost both coordinators... How is it not gonna be a factor? It's just change. Continuity is so important in football and I think it may have reached a critical mass for the Lions and they're gonna have their hands full.
Florio also shared his vision for the future of the league, and it’s one that might make traditionalists a bit queasy. He sees a world with significantly more teams and a much longer schedule, eventually moving the biggest game of all across the pond.
Mike FlorioThe NFL will expand to 20 regular season games and 40 teams
There will be a Super Bowl played overseas at some point and there will be 20 regular season games. Okay. No preseason games. Okay. And 40 teams. That will happen.
Mike FlorioThe Dolphins, Browns, and Saints will be the three most disappointing teams
I would be very concerned if I was a fan of the Dolphins. I would be extremely concerned if I'm a fan of the Browns, I would find something else to do on Sunday if I was a fan of the Saints. Those are the three that come to mind.
We wrapped up with the usual lottery ball chaos and Shane proving once again that he has some kind of mystical connection to the machine that Memes simply cannot replicate.
At least Memes will always have his health and his 668-day losing streak.
