PMT Piles On Ronaldo and Drafts Mount Rushmore Teams

PFT, meanwhile, did what PFT does — fired off the line that Cristiano isn't even the best Brazilian-speaking Ronaldo, which is both factually generous and exactly the kind of needle the Ronaldo stans can't handle. Pair that with aerial shots of Mexico City swallowing the Angel after a 1-0 win over South Korea looking like the Knicks parade rolled south, and the vibe is clear: the rest of the soccer world is having a moment while CR7's camp is in damage control.

The bigger PMT business of the day was the Mount Rushmore draft. The official teams are locked: Hank with Zac, Big Cat with Max, and PFT with Memes. PFT's 'I'm all I got' read on his partner pretty much tells you how seriously this is being taken, which is to say very seriously and not at all, simultaneously.

The official Mount Rushmore teams have been announced Hank and Zac Big Cat Max and Memes PFT

Outside the main show, Big Cat dropped a new PMTV where Twisted Tea hooked the office up with two vintage hand-crank machines, because nothing says productivity like a grown man cranking a metal lever at his desk. And in Chicago, Mr. Bing Bong — Jerry in the Knicks polo, glasses, and all — turned up to wish Hank a happy birthday on the same trip Jerry just happened to have a Stand By Me live show booked. The framing that the Knicks beat the Spurs in the Finals is pure Jerry-fandom fan fiction, but the bit lands either way.

Mr. Bing Bong showed up in Chicago to make sure Hank had the happiest of birthdays

All told, a loaded Friday: Ronaldo getting roasted, the Rushmore brackets are set, and the Barstool extended universe keeps finding excuses to put Jerry in a Knicks polo. The Messi-Ronaldo debate isn't ending tomorrow, but PMT made sure today's round wasn't close.
