Tommy Fleetwood on Tour Victory and Ross Dellenger on CFB Chaos
The long national nightmare is finally over in Washington. Terry McLaurin is staying put with a massive extension, proving that the summer of the "hold-in" is effectively a lock for most superstars. Big Cat noted that the landscape of player leverage has shifted completely, where a trade demand is really just the opening bell for a new contract.
Big CatAn NFL trade request doesn't really mean anything anymore; it's just the new version of a holdout
What this should teach us more than anything about the NFL is that a trade request doesn't really mean shit anymore. In the NBA I feel like if you request a trade... it's over. In the NFL, that's just the new holdout, right? Is requesting a trade.
PFT is sleeping easier knowing his star wideout is back, though there's always that slight concern about missing training camp reps. However, the internal feeling is that McLaurin is too much of a pro to let the layoff affect his conditioning.
PFT CommenterTerry McLaurin's 'hold in' only worked because he didn't miss mental reps and stayed in shape
I like to think that Terry is a consummate pro... they were just giving him all the assignments, the playbook, all that stuff he was doing mental reps. He's gonna be in shape.
While the Commanders sorted their business, the Bengals did the same with Trey Hendrickson. It wasn't the long-term security he wanted, but a massive raise for this season keeps the pass rush intact for a potential Super Bowl run. Big Cat sees it as the rare outcome where the team protects its future cap and the player gets his bag immediately.
Big CatTrey Hendrickson's contract raise is a win-win for both the player and the Bengals
I think there's a win-win. You get more money for this year. You still get to be a free agent next year and maybe cash in one more time. And the Bengals... don't have to worry about it in the coming years.
Travis and Taylor are Engaged
The internet nearly folded in on itself with the news of KillaTrav and Taylor Swift making it official. The guys couldn't help but roast the engagement post, specifically the "gym teacher and English teacher" aesthetic. Big Cat is already looking forward to the absolute chaos of the wedding, specifically the performance of the Best Man.
Big CatJason Kelce will drink over 20 beers on the day of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding
My prediction. I think that Jason Kelce is going to drink over 20 beers on the day of the wedding... I think he might drink over 20 before he even does the best man speech.
While we all want love to win, the guys are also selflessly thinking about the fans. Specifically, what kind of legendary music would come out of a potential split down the road.
Big CatA Taylor Swift divorce album would result in incredible music
I want them to be happily married forever. A divorce album would rock... I'm saying if it happened, there would be incredible music. Right. Don't want it happen.
Tommy Fleetwood: Finally a Winner
Fresh off his first victory on tour in Atlanta, Tommy Fleetwood joined the show to discuss the monkey finally being off his back. The support was massive, including tweets from LeBron James and messages from Tiger Woods. Tommy opened up about the mental grind of finishing second so many times and how he handles the "choker" label that fans love to throw around. He's also leaning into his son Frankie’s viral "trying my hardest" mantra, which has become a cult favorite among PMT listeners.
Looking ahead to the Ryder Cup, things are going to get awkward. The guys were all-in on Tommy for his win, but now he's the enemy again. Tommy isn't backing down from the challenge of coming to Bethpage Black, and he’s fully expecting the European side to spoil the party.
Tommy FleetwoodEurope will win the Ryder Cup back in 2025
Of course I'm gonna stand by my boys and my team and say that, you know, I'm gonna go in with full faith in our team and say Europe are gonna bring the Ryder Cup back.
College Football Preview with Ross Dellenger
Ross Dellenger from Yahoo Sports joined the show to clear up the drama surrounding Barstool and Ohio State. While there were plenty of statements flying around from the Big 10 and Fox, the reality is that the Buckeyes aren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for Dave Portnoy. Ross thinks the petty nature of the situation is actually perfect for college football, as it adds another layer of heat to the biggest games of the year.
When it comes to the actual football, Ross is going bold. He’s out on the Miami hype train before it even leaves the station, predicting a rough year for Mario Cristobal's squad.
Ross DellengerMiami will be the most disappointing team in college football this year
One of the questions was, who's gonna be like the most disappointing team this year? And I picked Miami... The thought is that they probably won't finish inside that [Top 12] maybe this year.
As for the new-look playoff and conference races, Ross is high on some traditional powers returning to form. He thinks the Heisman race will go through Clemson, while the national title hunt ends with a Nittany Lion celebration.
Ross DellengerPenn State will win the Big Ten and the National Championship
I picked Penn State to win it all. This is the year I did. I actually picked them to beat, I think I have the championship game them beating LSU for all the marbles... I think they win the Big 10 [beating Ohio State].
Mt. Rushmore of Things Girls Hate About Guys
This might have been the most "black-pilling" Mount Rushmore in show history. The guys touched on everything from the classic "forgetting to put the toilet seat down" to the more specific "not going to the doctor for a partially torn calf." Max and Memes took farts and slobs, while Big Cat and Zach went deep with "starting every war ever." It turns out women have a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed with us, but none more than our ability to spend four days with our best friends and return home with zero updates on their personal lives.
Next time you're at a wedding, just remember that Jason Kelce is probably twenty deep before the toasts even start.
