Max's Philly Nightmare, Week 6 NFL Preview, and Tyler Biadasz
The energy in the studio was at an all-time low for one specific person while everyone else basked in a truly electric sports night. Big Cat returned from Wrigley Field after the Cubs forced a Game 5 against the Brewers, but the real story was the literal physical and emotional decay of Max. It was the ultimate double-bang for Philadelphia as the Phillies were eliminated by the Dodgers in spectacular, embarrassing fashion, and the Eagles got throttled by the Giants on Thursday Night Football.
Max was so deep in the darkness he admitted to laying on the floor of the snack pantry just to feel something. Between the Orion Kerkering error that he compared to Bill Buckner and Jalen Hurts looking completely lost, Max has reached the breaking point with every single team he roots for.
MaxEvery Philadelphia sports team should be blown up and started from ground zero
Done. Everything's done. Blow it up. Blow up. Start every single team from ground zero. No, I, every single one of 'em, I'm done with the union.
Playoff Baseball and the Yankees' Exit
While Max was busy trying to punch lockers, the rest of the crew broke down the Yankees getting sent home by the Blue Jays. Vladi Jr. and David Ortiz spent the postgame show rubbing it in the faces of Derek Jeter and A-Rod, which Big Cat and PFT loved to see. Big Cat was quick to point out that even though Aaron Judge finally hit a postseason home run, it means absolutely nothing now that they're golfing.
Big CatAaron Judge's postseason home run is a footnote if the Yankees don't win the series
Aaron Judge hit that home run. Listen, that one foot. I said it. If they [the Yankees] don't win that series, it is a footnote and it is absolutely a footnote.
They also looked ahead to the next round, where PFT believes the Blue Jays are becoming the team nobody wants to see, especially with their star shortstop getting healthy at the right time.
PFT CommenterThe Blue Jays are going to be a handful in the next round with Bo Bichette returning
The Toronto Blue Jays... they're getting Bo Bichette back I think in the next round. It's so, the Blue Jays are, they're, they're gonna be a handful.
As for the Yankees' future, the consensus is that Aaron Boone isn't going anywhere, even if his role on the team remains a bit of a mystery to everyone watching.
Big CatAaron Boone doesn't actually do anything for the Yankees besides chew on things
I don't really know what Aaron Boone does with that team besides just like chews. He just chews stuff. Yeah, he's like a dog. If you leave him alone, he, and there's something in front of him, he will pick it up in his mouth and he will chew it. But outside of that, I don't know what his day-to-day is.
The Eagles are Broken
Switching to the gridiron, the Eagles' loss to the Giants has Max ready to trade the entire roster. Saquon Barkley was a non-factor, the defense couldn't stop Jackson Dart, and Jalen Hurts continues to struggle with turnovers. Max didn't hold back on his quarterback, declaring him a bottom-tier starter in the league right now.
MaxJalen Hurts looks like the worst quarterback in the NFL
Jalen Hurts looks like the worst fucking quarterback in the NFL. He's a bad quarterback right now.
On the flip side, the Giants are actually... fun? PFT was mesmerized by Cam Skabboo and Jackson Dart’s chemistry. It’s a weird reality where the Giants are playing with more swagger and joy than the teams that were supposed to be Super Bowl contenders.
PFT CommenterThe New York Giants are finally fun to watch
The New York Giants are fun as fuck. It's weird, isn't it? You expect them to occasionally pop up and be a good football team, but in a very boring way. And this is a team that like, I wanna watch more Giants football games.
Week 6 Picks and Preview
Looking ahead to Sunday, the crew went through the slate with their usual blend of logic and superstition. PFT has a theory that Mike McDaniel’s refusal to chase the scoring record against Denver last year has permanently cursed the Dolphins franchise.
PFT CommenterThe Dolphins' failure to kick the field goal for 70 points against the Broncos cursed their franchise
I'm beginning to think that when he did not go for a field goal at the end of that game... he decided he was not going to set the all time NFL scoring record. It's a curse that cursed the Dolphins from that point on.
In the AFC East, the Patriots are riding high after back-to-back wins, leading Hank to make a bold claim about the state of the Kansas City Chiefs' superstar quarterback.
Big Cat is eyeing the Seahawks to take down a Jaguars team that might be feeling themselves a little too much after a big Monday night win. He thinks Seattle's desperation makes them the play.
Big CatThe Seattle Seahawks will beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6
I love the Seahawks in this game... I feel like there might be a little let down [for the Jags]... Seahawks need to win... you'll get a very strong effort from the Seahawks.
Finally, for the Sunday night showdown between the Chiefs and Lions, Big Cat is refusing to get off the Detroit train. He’s treating the Lions like a blue-chip tech stock that never stops climbing.
Big CatThe Lions are a stock that only goes up; I will keep betting them every week
The Lions in their last 50 games are 36 and 13 and one against the spread. That's a stock that you just see. It's like Nvidia... I think I keep betting 'em.
Tyler Biadasz on the Commanders' Surge
Commanders Center Tyler Biadasz joined the show to talk about the incredible vibes in D.C. He went into detail about the famous Hail Mary win against the Bears, Jaden Daniels’ infectious personality in the huddle, and his own transition from a Badger defensive lineman to an NFL center. He also took a moment to give his former teammate Jonathan Taylor the highest possible praise.
Tyler BiadaszJonathan Taylor is a top-three human being in the entire world
He is a workhorse, and what he's done in the NFL too is awesome to see. And man, his ability speaks volumes and he's even a way better person than he is a player too. Like, no, he is the most genuine human being. [He's a top three human] in my opinion. [In the entire world].
We wrapped up with Fyre Fest of the week, featuring Hank being accused of racism over a Penn State tweet and Zach’s absolutely heroic 4,000-calorie Wendy’s binge that he claimed was to cure "homesickness."
Max, enjoy that wedding in Connecticut and try not to throw any pigtails at the bride.
