Larry the Goldfish is officially admitted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame archives

We can certainly put him in the archives... we will take good care of it. Preserve it... he will be included in the archives of the Hall of Fame.

David Baker made this commitment on air and Larry 2's betting record was indeed sent to the archives.

Hard Knocks stinks

Hard Knocks stinks. There's nothing that can turn around a bad episode of Hard Knocks like watching it with a cool dog... The ending was, I had to like check myself because they had the dramatic rainstorm and Liev Schreiber was doing some unbelievable speech, and then I was like, wait, they lost in a preseason game to the Cardinals by three points. What are we doing here?

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

Dak Prescott is probably going to miss the whole year with his shoulder injury

They can't show it [on Hard Knocks] because they don't want to tell us that [Dak Prescott's] shoulder's fucked up and he's probably going to miss the whole year.

Dak Prescott did not miss the whole year; he played 16 regular season games in 2021.

John Mara is the driving force behind the NFL's new 'anti-fun' taunting penalty

Co-owner John Mara was the driving force behind the new taunting penalty in the NFL... It's honestly stupid... Mr. Mara, he is the man. He is the machine that needs to be raged against. He looks like when you die, if you still have a boss, that's what he looks like.

It was widely reported that John Mara was a key member of the Competition Committee that pushed for the taunting point of emphasis.

Peyton Manning's Hall of Fame debate only lasted 10 seconds

He knew it, it took 10 seconds for him to get in the hall of fame. You know, Mike Chapple from Indianapolis did his presentation. And I think all he said was Peyton Manning dropped the mic. Yeah. And, and, and he, he didn't have to make the presentation. Everybody knew he was going to.

Baker is the ultimate authority on these meetings. It is a well-documented story that the Manning presentation was incredibly brief.

Olivia Manning is effectively a Hall of Fame 'contributor' for her role in her family's success

I feel like Olivia Manning should be nominated for the hall of fame as a contributor... [Baker]: Olivia and... frankly, her mom was a world-class sprinter, you know? So I think he [Christian McCaffrey] got some speed from her... Olivia and I, and again, I got to tell you... I've always regarded him [Archie] as one of the great fathers.

This is a subjective tribute to mothers of athletes.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame should not be for 'very good' players

What I would say is it, shouldn't be hard to make it into the hall of fame. Absolutely. It's not the whole of very, very good. And I love it. It's the hall of fame.

This is a philosophical stance on the standards of a museum/honor.
