Alex Caruso officially has two championships because the NBA Bubble title counts

One's the lowest. That's the baseline one's the lowest. Yeah. He's got two. Oh yeah. Bubble two is two. Hell yeah. I count the bubble.

This is a subjective debate on the value of the 2020 NBA title.

The Buccaneers' season is a failure if they do not win the Super Bowl

I mean, no. I mean, the goal's always Super Bowl or nothing. It was, I mean, you check off the boxes on your way to try and get to the Super Bowl division playoffs, but then after that, if you don't, if you don't do anything in the playoffs, it really doesn't matter.

The Bucs lost in the Wild Card round, making the season a failure by Mayfield's stated standard.

Oklahoma will struggle in the SEC because the defensive lines are full of 'man-childs'

The difference, like from what I can see is Oline D-line. Yeah. The D-line. SEC is just a bunch of apps. Like man Childs. And then Oline, Oklahoma hadn't had a, they're all fast as good of an oline is what used to have.

Oklahoma finished their first SEC season in 2024 with a mediocre 6-6 record, confirming the struggle.

Texas fans and Cowboys fans are the same: delusional losers

Texas fans and Cowboys fans are very similar. Delusional. They're the same people. Bunch of losers.

This is a subjective insult typical of the Red River Rivalry.

My brief stint with the Rams saved my NFL career

Going to LA just for that like last five games of the year was so unbelievable for me. Like getting a fresh start... it brought the fun back and like, that's when I'm having fun, talking trash, enjoying it. Like that's when I'm at my best and yeah. I, I needed that.

This is a subjective career reflection by the player themselves.

Mike Evans is a top 5 receiver of all time if he plays a few more years

If he plays three, four more years the way he's been playing, he's a top five receiver of all time. No he is... he's had 10 seasons in a row of a thousand yards. And he's the consistent one. Right. And like he doesn't get that recognition.

Subjective all-time ranking.

I saw a bright circle UFO in Austin, Texas

Literally like, we got the, the screen on the car's real bright... Emily's in the passenger seat. She's looking at her phone, this like, like circle shape object. Like bright as hell. Literally just goes from right here and goes straight down. She was looking at her phone... it was so bright that she looked up and saw it too and it just like disappeared. Like completely disappeared.

While it's a personal account that can't be scientifically verified by a transcript, Baker is adamant about the claim.

Adam Schefter is one of the few media members you can actually trust with off-the-record information

Adam and I actually are close... he's one of the media members you can actually trust that if it's off the record, it's not going anywhere. Like he actually will keep it close to the vest.

A personal assessment of professional character.

I'm letting Big Cat and PFT fight my media battles while I stay quiet until the season starts

I think you can continue what we talked about. You fight back when I can't right now. I'm going to let it die down a little bit. I'm going to let you guys be on the front line for me. And then as soon as the season starts, I'll be back.

Baker did noticeably talk less in the 2020 offseason and season, which coincided with the Browns' best season in decades.

The 2019 season was the first time I wasn't having fun playing football

Yeah, that was the first time I'd say I really wasn't having fun playing football. So for me, it's getting back to square one of I love the game of football. I'm going to make it fun. And that's how I play my best.

This is a subjective internal feeling, but he did improve significantly in 2020, suggesting he found his groove again.

The Browns offense didn't have a chance in 2019 because of things put together behind the scenes

Some of the things we put together behind the scenes, it just didn't work out, so we didn't have a chance in the get-go.

Widely corroborated by reporters later; the 2019 Browns coaching staff was famously disorganized.

Odell Beckham Jr. will eventually bring back his old hairstyle

I predict that the old hair is coming back... I do too.

Beckham has cycled through many hairstyles, including returns to the short blonde look, making this generally correct.

The NCAA rule banning 'Horns Down' celebrations is soft

I think it's very soft. They're implementing a rule about it. Yeah. It shows the sensitivity of today's day and age.

This is an opinion on a rule change.

I would love to run the same offense in the NFL that I ran at Oklahoma

To me, yeah, obviously the easiest answer would be, yeah, I'd love to run the offense I did at Oklahoma. That's because I had three years to do it, and I got so comfortable in it.

Baker eventually found his most NFL success in Kevin Stefanski's more traditional system, but his early success with Freddie Kitchens (2018) involved more of these college concepts.

Kansas football is a joke and deserved the treatment I gave them

Kansas football [is] a joke. And then you kick the shit out of them, and then you obviously are like, yeah, you guys are a joke. They should get everything that they deserve in that respect... I think it was more about being the bigger man in that one and letting them just—like you described Kansas football—letting them do that. And letting them stay at that level.

The sentiment is subjective, though Kansas football was statistically one of the worst programs in the Power 5 at the time.

I would love to run the Oklahoma offense in the NFL

Obviously the easiest answer would be, yeah, I'd love to run the offense at Oklahoma. That's because I had three years to do it, and I got so comfortable in it.

Baker's NFL career saw him struggle under various offensive systems that were often quite different from Lincoln Riley's air raid concepts.

The Browns will win a Super Bowl in the 21st century

This is the portion of the interview where we let you predict when the Browns will win the Super Bowl. 2020? In the 21st century, yeah. ... Okay, so you are saying that you will win a Super Bowl with the Browns. Just maybe not the statue.

The Browns have not won a Super Bowl yet, but the 21st century has many years remaining.
