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.

PJ Tucker's role on a championship team is specifically to be the 'dog'

PJ Tucker's role is to be a dog. So he was just like saying, you need dogs to win that's him. Yeah. So he was like, yeah. He was like defining his role. He had to teach everyone else how to be a dog.

Ordering soda without ice is a smart consumer move to get 25% more drink

I think that's just being a smart consumer. You get more soda that way. I think it's something with you. I think Europeans don't... you get extra probably 25% of the drink with them and you don't need the waste.

Ice takes up physical space in a cup, so excluding it allows for more liquid. 25% is a reasonable estimate for a standard fast-food ice fill.

Texas is the most high-maintenance girl in college football

It is a very Texas thing to do. They always think that they're going to be the hottest chick in the room and they never are. It's like Texas is the most high maintenance girl that you've ever dated. They always need to be told how good they look all the time.

Subjective comparison of program prestige and behavior.

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.

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.

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.
