Everyone thinks they're the guy.

This week on Pat on the Back, I get into the delusion of fantasy football: why everyone in a league somehow believes they understand football better than everyone else, when in reality we're all just our own unique brand of stupid.

Then take that idea somewhere a little more insane: The Matrix. Maybe getting pulled out and discovering the horrifying truth isn't actually the heroic ending we think it is. Maybe you'd be better staying plugged in, watching football, and blissfully believing you know what's going on.

Two completely different topics, one very important question: why does everyone think they're the guy?

Plus, the Buffalo Bills unveiled their new alternate uniforms, and while Josh Allen says he likes them... I have a theory he might not be telling the whole truth.

Pat on the Back is a sports show that asks the dumb questions that somehow make sense.

What makes an athlete so ridiculous that you start to wonder if they're actually from Earth?

On this episode of Pat on the Back, we're not ranking the greatest athletes ever - We're about the guys who make you stop and say " How is that even possible?"

From Bo Jackson to Shaquille O'Neal to LeBron James, these are the athletes who feel less like normal humans and more like they were sent here to dominate sports.

Pat on the Back is the sports show that asks dumb questions that somehow make sense.

The U.S. gets eliminated and suddenly everyone remembers the NFL exists.

This week on Pat on the Back, I'm talking about why the World Cup feels so different for American sports fans, why international completely mess with our sense of time, and why saying a country has struggled for "3 World Cups" actually means they've been bad for over a decade.

Plus, a quick discussion on Josh Allen being ranked ahead of Patrick Mahomes as the current #1 quarterback in football.
