Russell Wilson on Being Unlimited, the NFC Beast, and Billy's Jake Paul Pitch
The Washington Football Team has officially sent shockwaves through the league by handing the Pittsburgh Steelers their first loss of the season. Alex Smith was quite literally gushing blood from his shin, looking like a Jackson Pollock painting on the turf, and still managed to out-gut Big Ben for the win. PFT is riding the high of the NFC Beast renaissance, having spent hours on the playoff machine trying to manifest a world where the entire division makes the postseason.
PFT CommenterThe NFC East might get three teams into the playoffs
I crunched numbers... I went on the ESPN playoff machine for like an hour until I got the equation right. And if Tampa Bay ties the Vikings this week, then the Eagles could also get in... We might get three teams in [the playoffs] Big Cat.
Big Cat and PFT actually agree that the New York Giants and Washington are officially respectable. The days of making fun of the division are over, mostly because these two teams have elite front sevens that could cause problems in January.
Big CatThe Washington Football Team and New York Giants are legitimate good teams that could win a playoff game
In all honesty, I think that the NFC East jokes are gone in the fact that whether it be the Washington football team or the New York Giants, both of those teams are good teams that if they get in the playoffs, they could win a game... I'll probably bet on them.
The Big Ten's Reality Check
With Michigan opting out of the big game, Ohio State is currently sitting in a weird spot regarding their eligibility for the Big Ten Championship. Big Cat went on an absolute tear about Big Ten fans who are rooting against the Buckeyes. He argues that the conference needs to stop thinking with "small rinky-dink brains" and start propping up their winner to ensure that $6 million playoff check hits the conference bank account.
Big CatThe Big Ten must change its rules to ensure Ohio State makes the conference championship and the playoff
The Big Ten, at least some fans of the Big Ten, are so antiquated with reality... Ohio State is playing a different sport and on a different level... You could say, hey, Ohio State going to the college football playoff is good for the perception of the Big Ten. It's $6 million to the conference that gets dispersed evenly. Maybe we should focus on getting our team better instead of trying to drag Ohio State back down.
He pointed to the SEC and ACC as the models for how to handle this, noting that they aren't afraid to protect their heavy hitters to ensure they have a seat at the table.
Big CatThe SEC and ACC are 'smart' conferences because they prop up their winners for the playoff
The SEC props up their winners. The ACC, two weeks ago, did exactly this. They literally fucked over Miami and canceled Notre Dame's last game and put them in the championship game because they said... We have a chance to get Clemson and Notre Dame into the college football playoff.
Russell Wilson is Unlimited
Mr. Unlimited himself, Russell Wilson, joined the show to talk about his new podcast, *Danger Talk*, and his quest to take over the media space. While he’s known for his relentlessly positive energy, he opened up about where the "Unlimited" persona actually comes from. It’s not just a catchphrase; it’s a killer instinct developed from the highest highs and lowest lows of his career.
Russell WilsonMr. Unlimited is a 'killer instinct mentality' and an 'alter ego'
Unlimited comes from this idea that... You know, you have to, you know, in the midst of a season, in the midst of life, you have to be able to, one, first of all, have fun and joke around. But I think also, too, you kind of got to have this killer instinct, you know, no matter what you do, you know, you kind of have got to have this other side of you. This is kind of the other side of me, you know, Mr. Unlimited, just that mentality, you know, that anything's possible.
Naturally, the guys had to ask about the Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. While most people would be haunted by that interception forever, Russell explained how he has literally re-wired his brain to focus on the images of him holding the trophy instead of the heartbreak. He also dropped a bombshell about his athletic background that might explain his deep-ball accuracy.
Russell WilsonBaseball was actually my best sport
I always feel like baseball is actually my best sport... if I really had focused on baseball, you know, out of high school, I was going to be a top pick out of high school... I never really got to fully blossom fully in my baseball career... out of high school and stuff that baseball was actually my best sport.
We also spent a significant amount of time trying to confirm the existence of Pete Carroll's twin brother, which Russell basically confirmed, and reminiscing about the Rose Bowl. Russell described the field at the Rose Bowl as a "par five golf green," though Big Cat remembers it more as the place where his soul left his body after the clock ran out on the Badgers.
Russell WilsonThe Rose Bowl field feels like a par five golf green
the sun's just going down and the field feels like a golf course it feels like a par five right on the green
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank put Duke on the Hot Seat after some embarrassing losses, which led to a discussion about whether Coach K is looking for an exit strategy. If the Blue Devils keep sliding, don't be surprised if the season suddenly becomes "bigger than sports" for the legend in Durham.
Big CatCoach K will pull Duke from the season if they continue to lose bad games
I would not be surprised at all if after, like, a month and a few more bad losses, Coach K pulled his team from the season... once he gets a little losing streak going, he is definitely liable to be like, listen, we're not going to go through the motions. The most important thing is keeping these kids healthy.
Meanwhile, PFT is officially on the Cool Throne after purchasing a home gym system. In classic PFT fashion, he only bought one adjustable dumbbell, but he is fully convinced that asymmetrical training is the key to getting absolutely shredded for the summer.
PFT CommenterI can get shredded for the summer with just one adjustable dumbbell
I realized I'd only purchased one. So I have one dumbbell. One is all you need... I think I can get shredded off one dumbbell. I don't think you need an entire gym for that.
FightPaul.com
To wrap things up, Billy Football presented his masterpiece: a slide-deck-turned-website at FightPaul.com. Billy’s entire goal in life right now is to fight Jake Paul, and his primary evidence for why it should happen is a deep-dive investigation into Jake Paul’s actual height compared to Dave Portnoy.
Billy FootballJake Paul is lying about being 6'1" and is actually 5'9" because he is the same height as Dave Portnoy
Jake Paul is lying about his height. He's listed at 6'1", but is really 5'9"... I have a picture of him next to Dave Portnoy. And he is basically the same height as Dave Portnoy. He's two inches taller than Dave, who is 5'10".
Billy’s pitch involves him taking zero guaranteed money and essentially using his "suitable head trauma" to his advantage. He’s convinced that because he has no other commitments at the office, he can spend 24 hours a day getting "jacked as fuck" just to spite the YouTube star.
Billy FootballI would rock Jake Paul's shit because I have fewer commitments than anyone else
I legitimately have the least amount of commitments out of the whole company at this moment... I also like to work out and have endured a good amount of head trauma, which make me suitable for boxing... I would make him think I was easily beatable, but I would rock his shit.
If the fight happens, we're definitely taking 90 percent of the purse for the apparatus.
