NFL Week 7, Fastest 2 Minutes, Giants Big Win, The Vikings Last Of The Unbeatens Plus Brewers Up 2-0 In World Series

Episode of Pardon My Take · October 26, 2026 · 2 h 37 min

Dan Katz, PFT Commenter and the Pardon My Take crew recap every NFL Week 7 game, then discuss the Brewers' World Series lead and LIV Golf's bankruptcy filings.

Summary

The Pardon My Take crew opened with their Fastest Two Minutes recap of NFL Week 7, then went through each Sunday game. Dan Katz highlighted the Giants' upset of the Texans as 10-point underdogs, crediting J.J. McCarthy's willingness to throw deep and calling Malik Nabers a true number-one receiver, while PFT Commenter described the Giants as a 'fun good team.' The hosts debated whether the 5-2 Steelers were a 'bad good' or 'medium good' team, discussed the Falcons ending the 49ers' unbeaten season, and praised the 6-0 Vikings' Brian Flores-led defense while doubting their offense.

The crew lamented the Jets' loss to the previously winless Dolphins, with Memes declaring the season over and criticizing Aaron Glenn. Katz praised Todd Bowles' game plan in the Bucs' rout of Carolina, analyzed the Ravens' second-half collapse against Joe Burrow's Bengals, and called for Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill to sell the team. Katz and Max Delente defended Dan Campbell's fourth-down attempt from his own 24-yard line against the Packers, while PFT Commenter questioned it. Hank Lockwood's failed 'hungry dog' parlay and a tangent on Excel proficiency provided running jokes.

The episode closed with a preview of Eagles–Cowboys on Monday Night Football, a World Series discussion in which Katz called the Brewers the best team in baseball and predicted they would win the title, criticism of a proposed check-swing replay standard, and a reading of joke domain names LIV Golf had purchased, revealed in its bankruptcy filings.
