Kurt Warner, Jose Canseco, and Super Bowl 55 Predictions

It is finally Super Bowl weekend, but before we get to Tampa, we have the most anticipated event in the history of West Virginia: Rough and Rowdy 13. Big Cat and PFT are live from the arena in Charlestown, and the energy is electric because Billy Football is hours away from stepping into the ring against a literal genetic freak.

Prop Bets and GOAT Debates

Big Cat and PFT started by sifting through the Barstool Sportsbook to find the most degen-friendly ways to enjoy Sunday's game. PFT is already looking past the game and into the history books. If Tom Brady secures ring number seven, the Jordan comparisons aren't just barbershop talk anymore.

If Tom Brady wins a 7th Super Bowl, he is officially the greatest athlete of all time over Michael Jordan

If Tom Brady wins the Super Bowl, is he then the greatest GOAT of all time? ... they're saying, like, that would put him over Jordan. And I do think that that counts.

Subjective comparison of athletes in different sports.

While the GOAT debate usually centers on humans, PFT reminded everyone that the real greatest of all time doesn't wear sneakers or cleats.

Secretariat is the greatest of all time

Secretariat. Well, exactly. Secretariat. It's got to be. American Pharaoh. It has to be Secretariat.

The 'GOAT' debate is inherently subjective.

As for the actual gambling, Big Cat is eyeing a very specific prop for Brady. He thinks the goat will move the ball, but he’s also expecting at least one pass to go to the wrong team.

Super Bowl 55 is a game where you should hammer the live over and the live underdog

I'm going to bet the over, but this is definitely a game, most Super Bowls are like this, where the first quarter is a little bit slow. This is a live, hammer the live over game. It also is, I have the Chiefs, but if the Bucs go up or the Chiefs go up early, I think it's going to be somewhat of a close game at the end... so it's also hammer the live underdog game.

The total was 40, well under the 54.5 closing line, making the over a loser regardless of when it was placed. The Bucs won by 22, so the live underdog (Chiefs) also failed.

And because we are creatures of habit and rhyme, PFT is sticking with the golden rule of the Super Bowl coin toss.

There will be over three and a half field goals in Super Bowl 55

I'm taking the over for field goals. Over three and a half field goals.

There were exactly 4 field goals in the game (3 by Harrison Butker, 1 by Ryan Succop), making the over a winner.

Not everyone is on the Chiefs, though. Hank is so confident in the Buccaneers that he’s putting his entire life savings on the line. He even brought out the lucky vest to prove he’s serious.

I'm betting the over on a half-interception for Tom Brady in the Super Bowl

Tom Brady over a half of an interception. So he's got to throw one. I think he's going to throw – I think Tom Brady's going to play well, but I also think he's going to take his shots.

Tom Brady threw 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in Super Bowl 55.

Kurt Warner Breaks Down the Game

Hall of Famer Kurt Warner joined the show to give a masterclass in quarterback play. He shared a wild story about how a literal spider bite in Jamaica kept him from ever suiting up for the Chicago Bears, which Big Cat took with his usual level of grace. When it comes to the matchup on Sunday, Warner thinks the speed of the Kansas City defense is being overlooked.

Tails never fails on the Super Bowl coin toss

I usually go with tails never fails. ... It's tails. I'm betting tails. There you go. Tails never fails.

The Super Bowl 55 coin toss was Heads.

Warner also settled a long-standing debate about the "Greatest Show on Turf" Rams. While Big Cat tried to argue for Orlando Pace, Kurt went with the guy who made every linebacker's life a living hell.

I'm hearing orange. My sources have told me orange... I'm hammering orange.

The Gatorade color for Super Bowl 55 was blue.

Despite the Tom Brady factor, Warner isn't expecting a nail-biter. He’s calling for a blowout in favor of Patrick Mahomes and company.

You're going biggest bet of your life on the Bucs responsibly? Yep. I packed the vest. That's all you need to know. ... The man of vests is in the building.

The Buccaneers won Super Bowl 55, 31-9.

The Jose Canseco Experience

Things got extremely weird when Jose Canseco sat down. Within seconds, he was trying to bet Big Cat half a million dollars and calling everyone in the room a punk. He’s clearly not worried about an intern who spends his days researching frogs and high-T diets.

The National Anthem for Super Bowl 55 will go over the allotted time

I'm betting the over on [the National Anthem]. If you bet the under, then that's very anti-patriotic. You're a terrorist if you bet the under in the National Anthem.

The performance by Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church clocked in at 2:17, which hit the over (set around 1:59).

Jose wasn't just there to talk about the fight; he wanted to flex his intellectual superiority. When PFT tried to needle him, Jose shut down the conversation with an all-time elite dismissal.

The Chiefs defense has the advantage over the Buccaneers in the Super Bowl because of their speed

I'm going to say the Chiefs defense. ... very few defenses are going to be as fast as this Chiefs offense. ... I think the Chiefs defensive backs match up better from an athletic standpoint against these Bucs receivers. ... I give the slight advantage to the Chiefs because of complexity and because of who they're facing.

The Bucs defense was the dominant unit in the game, holding the Chiefs to 9 points and 0 touchdowns. The Chiefs defense allowed 31 points.

Canseco’s beef wasn’t just with Billy. He’s still carrying a massive torch for Alex Rodriguez, whom he repeatedly referred to as a liar and a scumbag. He’s so desperate to get A-Rod in the ring that he offered a deal that would make any promoter's head spin.

I'll fight all three of you tomorrow at the same time — MMA rules

How about if I fight all three of you tomorrow? At the same time. But we do MMA. How's that?

The three-on-one bout was not sanctioned. Jose then lost the one-on-one to Billy Football.

Between claims of being a genetic freak and explaining that he knows more about science than actual doctors, Jose managed to insult every single person on the crew, eventually determining that Hank is the only person worth respecting.

I'm a six-four, 270-pound genetic freak — women want to breed with me just for the kids

She wanted to have, you know, my daughter's supermodel. So I breed super kids, obviously. I'm six foot four, 270 pound super athlete. So I'm a genetic freak. So I have, I've had plenty of women wanted to breed with me just for the kids.

The 270 pounds were not all factory original.

Billy's Final Pump Up

To wrap things up, Billy Football gave his final words before the biggest night of his life. Despite Jose’s size and the fact that he’s been on "testosterone therapy" since the late 80s, Billy is entering a state of pure psychosis. He’s not just looking for a win; he’s looking for total dominance.

I ran a 4.29 40. That's 30 years ago.

There is no official record of this time, and it would be faster than almost any NFL combine record, making it highly improbable for a 240lb baseball player.

Billy also managed to squeeze in one last insane conspiracy theory during Fyre Fest, proving that no matter how much training he does, his brain is still operating on a completely different frequency than the rest of humanity.

The current Kansas City Chiefs are the closest thing the NFL has seen to the 'Greatest Show on Turf' Rams

I would [say the Chiefs are the closest thing]. And probably the closest thing that we've seen since the greatest show on turf. And the reason I say that is just because the ability to attack down the field... they scare defenses. They make defenses play on their heels. And that's exactly how we played.

This is a subjective historical comparison from a Hall of Fame quarterback.

The Chiefs' tendency to 'get too cute' with play-calling is actually a benefit that keeps defenses off balance

I ultimately think the two cute works in their benefit way more than then it's a negative... down inside the 10 yard line, they are so great at doing special, unique, different things... that creativity is a bigger benefit than it is a negative.

The modern NFL is not full of great quarterback play despite inflated completion percentages

I still don't believe that the league is full of great quarterback play. And so you have to be able to delineate the two... there was 18 or 19 quarterbacks that were completing the ball at a rate higher than than I did the years that I led the league... numbers get inflated and it looks like teams are playing better or quarterbacks are playing better because of the rules. But when you really break down the quarterback play, it's not necessarily as good as we've seen at times in the past.

Would have hit 760 home runs if he stayed healthy

Now, if you would have done my home runs per bat ratio over a 24-year-old period, I would have had 760 home runs if I would have stayed healthy.

Canseco hit 462 home runs in 7,057 at-bats. Extrapolating that rate over 24 seasons yields approximately 570 home runs, not 760.
