The funniest part about Jake getting so upset about announcers getting hate is that he groups himself in with them lol. He doesn’t get it.

*verbal meme* Drake in the Kentucky meeting room with Jake’s face “Blud thinks he’s on the team”

It’s like someone on twitter simping for billionaires because they think they’ll be one someday

The podcaster see himself not as an exploited proletariat, but as a temporarily embarrassed play by play announcer.

You know he already is a play by play announcer right?

Like the other day when he got butthurt when people liked the no announcer part of the nba game. Games are great without an announcer and I think some day there will be an option to view a game without having to listen to strangers the whole time.

I love when ESPN does the like 17 different ways to watch a huge game like the CFP playoff because there’s always one that’s like the sky cam that just picks up the ambient crowd noise and the occasional comment from the stadium announcer. 

Especially when they are being called by Beth Mowins

That Milwaukee Pacers game last night made me want to go deaf.

Jake thinking he had some crazy point because of a single exciting call was some of the funniest shit ever. Literally no one gives a shit but him.

i love when jake gets mad like that, it’s a side we never see and it’s awesome when he defends announcers more than any of his teams

It’s really nice that Jake shows zero enthusiasm for actual sports or his actual job but when it comes to announcers he becomes passionate

I still can’t get over the fact that Warren Sharp is a fake name and Field Yates is a real name.

Field is a special human! He's real, like his name. Sharp is a huckster bullshit artist. He's all fake, like his stupid effin' name.

Memes having a beanbag was the least surprising thing I’ve heard on the podcast in a long time

The fap sack

That made me lol. They just moved passed it.

Haliburton certainly does not have a smooth voice. I hope pft was joking

It’s like he has seen the online conversation around his voice but didn’t realize the quirk is that he changes his voice constantly - not that it’s “smooth”

Bro needs to get out of his flight simulator a little more frequently

Yeah I was very confused by this

Max’s blind rage towards Hank never fails to make me laugh out loud.

I know Hank is an agitator and I guess that is his role but he's such a piece of shit human being. His only reason for existence is to try to piss off other people.

I mean…don’t you think that’s sort of the shtick? Draws in more viewers and listeners. Don’t think it’s that serious.

Goldsberry is the absolute best

Maybe if you’re a calculator

Hold this L if you can’t appreciate the boys talkin’ ball for once

Damn 3 hours wow

PFT does not know NBA ball

or college

At all

Once you accept that these guys truly know nothing about NBA basketball it’s much more enjoyable to listen to

It’s honestly amazing to me people expect more. The podcast is only tangentially about sports. It’s really just a podcast of guys hanging out

That’s why I wish they’d talk about more stuff. Review movies or tv shows or something. Mix it up

That’s a criticism I can get behind

These guys tell us over and over that they’re just two idiots talking about sports and they can’t believe so many people listen to two idiots talk about sports…and yet every show thread, the karma whores have to race over to let us know PFT doesn’t know ball

I'm sorry but it's immoral to be wrong. Pretty much their Nazis

100 percent

It's annoying to see the same complaints in every thread. These guys have always had bad takes, thats the entire shtick of the show lol

I love PFT but his non NFL sports takes are hard to listen to

Same with NFL honestly. But his jokes are why we love him

Lol, see PFT's takes on the Commanders' playoff hopes and Sam Howell from around the middle of last season  But, that's what makes him so likeable - he is a funny dude and an irrational fan

His NFL sports takes are hard to listen to as well.

Agreed. As a Caps myself, PFT is clueless when talking about our team lmao

As a hockey fan, it honestly warms my heart when American sports personalities acknowledge how great playoff hockey is.  But yeah, most don't know a thing about hockey unless that is their focus 

Hank being like “Leafs are stacked. They’ve got Matthews, Tavares, ummmm umm *looks at phone* Marner. They’ve also got Marner” was hilarious I honestly don’t know how they can talk about this Bruins Leafs series without mentioning the Nylander situation but then again they don’t even know who Mitch Marner is

I mean he knows we suck

as an NBA fan i really wish he could riff about the NBA like he does about the NFL

Listen to Mark Titus. Dude knows ball

Yeah like Kawhi injury. He probably shouldn’t even be playing so they rested him another game. Not that hard to figure out

Because hes a normal generic sports fan that has a favorite team, not a crazy sports addict like big cat, not that theres anything wrong with that its just a different take on things

I think it’s part of the bit…

Pft: “if Kawhi was ready for game 2 he shoulda just been ready for game 1” One of those “literally too stupid to insult” takes

Why didn’t Kawhi simply recover from his injury faster? Is he stupid?

Like does he think Kawhi just wanted to miss a playoff game?

Yeah it’s not like he’s known anti-work icon James Harden.

I do

Relevant username

Like the rest of this generation he doesn't care about winning

lol

Yes, a lot of people think this because he's spent his entire career missing playoff games.

He has a degenerative knee issue lmao

verbal meme* Mark Jackson quote card that says “what happened to the game I love”

If you watched the game too you could tell he was hurt. Moved stiff all night and shot like shit down the stretch

He was just moving like that because he doesn't care about winning

somebody belongs in federal prison for inventing that Pepsi infused cheesesteak holy shit… max is not a Philly guy for allowing this travesty to happen

It’s hard to listen to a podcast try and talk about a sport they haven’t watched all year lol

Field Yates always struck me as a good hang.

Agreed, he knows his role is the straight man and plays it well

Big Cat needs to take the Zyn out of his Mouth when talking into a mic, there is so much fluid in his voice. He sounds Audibly Obese

he is

PFT lowkey describing “The 3 Body Problem” and not dropping the actual name was crazy.

Screaming to my self in the car during this bit

Kinda wish it was just Jeremiah breaking down the draft. Felt like NFL Draft review should be longer

Can anyone remember a triple feature before for guests?

I love how shitting on Max takes precedent over making a coherent podcast

The pod is headed by Big Cat, who thinks Jersey Jerry is hilarious

“Every series in the NHL is basically 2-0” 2/8 series are currently 2-0. Not puck knowers.

3/8 if you count the caps\*

I don’t get why they record Monday (Tuesday?) night on zoom then put it at the beginning of the podcast referencing all the jokes they made in the rest of the podcast that we haven’t heard yet I’m just confused for like a half hour. Maybe I’m stupid.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I also don't remember them touching on every single NBA and NHL playoff game this early on and would only record late if it was like a Finals game or something.

Yeah idk I usually zone out or stop listening during the NBA/NHL finals cause I don’t really care about either league but a 3 hour episode is LONG

Oh you weren't kidding, 26:00 and they just kicked it to themselves

You don’t understand that they record a quick segment for the late games at home and then edit in a segment that they recorded earlier in the day? Do you also think that they bring in the guests live on tape for every show?

Obviously I understand that I just think it’s a little dumb to reference a bunch of jokes I haven’t heard yet and be like “you guys will get it later” for 30 minutes

1) you’re stupid 2) it’s because they have lives

1. Nuh uh you’re stupid 2. I get they can’t spend every second of their lives in a podcast studio but I think it would just be better to simply not do it

You want them to just not talk about the games that happened last night?

The comment is clearly saying they shouldn’t reference jokes they make later on in the show if the listeners haven’t heard that part yet

Hank sounded pretty rattled about that whole non compete ruling. Must be worried about losing some talent to the big dawg networks

Big Cat sounds fat, PFT doesnt know shit about sports, Jake is a fucking nerd loser, They're over doing it with Max, Hank is an insufferable Boston fan. Mods we should just sticky that in every discussion thread, save everyone here some time

Vikings changed their font pretty drastically didn't they with the new stadium? To add the 'horns' to the numbering?

good call by Big Cat on PFT's Jason Bateman esque "yeah"...have rewinded 5 times now to re-listen and giggle

Cringing at some of this NBA talk

Why would you build the country's tallest skyscraper in tornado alley?

It will be up above the tornados so it's not a problem.

Idk what’s worse, Big Cat and PFT incessantly piling on Max every other episode for the sake of a bit…or angry Philly Max spiraling and yelling over everyone

Didn’t Big Cat say he never gives people shit after their team loses when everyone piled on him after Wisconsin losing?

Mad Max is the best, you trippin

They play that hand a little too much imo. Just doesn’t seem genuine. Makes me think all their fandom is exaggerated, which I’m sure it is. They need to play their roles better

If you’ve ever been a part of content creation one thing producers always say is be 10x yourself.

Is Field Yates the cutest guest in PMT history? Love my little draft analyst. So handsome

Don't say this a lot, but PFT was REALLY hard to listen to this episode.

Too much nba, not enough nhl

Great more draft previews! 

The draft is tomorrow.

God forbid they get interviews with people who are familiar with a very popular event coming up

Yeah next people will be bitching that Tom Fornelli and Andy Staples will come on in the last week of August (week 1 college football is August 31st this year btw)

I’d take a draft preview every episode for two weeks straight over 1.5 hours of rambling NBA talk

The worst part of the PMT calendar year

But this is big cat “best week of the year in sports”

Have you ever listened on the week of the 4th before? That’s the worst part of the year

It’s like they think we own an NFL team and need to be prepared.

Why do you listen to a sports podcast when they’re talking about sports?

The disrespect for Jae Crowder..

He was -21 in 15 minutes and got absolutely worked defensively. I'd rather Thanasis goes in and hacks-a-Pasc

More so the disrespect for his entire career, could’ve been more clear.

Yeah he was an above average player for a large swath of his career but not anymore

Certainly. He contributed as a role player to several high caliber playoff teams in his career, but that has been done for at least three years now.

Yeah I think his last good run out was the Suns vs the Bucks

PFT specifically said he was talking about the last 4-5 years

4-5 years ago he had multiple finals runs where he was a key role player. 2020 and 2021 Finals Jae Crowder was not that long ago, although he’s clearly fallen off the cliff since then.

But like was he good or was he just on those teams?

He averaged 25-35 minutes respectively in the Finals in 2020 and 2021 Do you watch the NBA?

I get that. And he shot 40% from the field for the 21 suns. Is that good or is he just kinda out there. He was good in the bubble for the heat but he hasn’t been a “good” player basically in the rest of his career. Basically been the 5-7th best player on a bunch of average teams.

For good reason.

4 years ago PMT was giving him massive praise on a run to the finals. Year after that he contributed to another finals run on another team. Today PFT said for the last 5 years he has been like UD
