Trading the 9th overall pick for Baker Mayfield is way too steep a price

I think it was Albert Breer saying that the Washington football team was considering trading the ninth overall pick for Baker Mayfield. That seems steep. It seems... I'm just in fuck it mode right now.

Baker was eventually traded to the Panthers for a conditional fifth-round pick, proving that a first-round pick (especially 9th overall) was indeed far too steep.

I really hope Big Ben shows up to training camp next year and claims he was joking about retiring

I really, really hope deep down. He just shows up to training camp next year. And he's like, what? Wait, what I was, I was just joking. Like I wasn't serious. I'm still [a] Steeler.

Ben Roethlisberger officially retired and did not return for the 2022 training camp.

Big Ben benefited more from existing pre-social media than any other quarterback

Nobody benefited more from existing pre-social media than Big Ben. Yes. That is absolutely true.

Subjective historical analysis of media eras.

Big Ben's 'retirement' is likely a ploy to see if the Steelers will beg him to come back

I think what Big Ben is doing now that I'm hearing all this is that I think he's essentially retiring. And then on the last day of work, he's going to walk out of the facility and he's going to do the thing, like... keep looking back like, oh, did you want me to do another? And hoping that someone says, 'Hey, Ben, we want you back.'

Roethlisberger did indeed retire after the 2021 season and never returned, despite any perceived longing for the team to ask him back.

Miami of Ohio can beat SMU in their play-in game

I actually think that, I don't know, I think they can beat SMU. I think that if there's one team that they could be an at large, I feel like they could beat... it feels like that's one, that's a winnable game.

The outcome of this fictional 2026 matchup is unknown.

The ACC tournament belongs in Greensboro and it's not the same anywhere else

I grew up loving the ACC tournament. I don't love it anymore because it's not in Greensboro. The ACC is a North Carolina League. It's a tobacco league. Put it back in Greensboro.

This is a subjective preference about the historical home of a conference tournament.

The Ravens failed Max Crosby's physical intentionally to pivot to Trey Hendrickson

It's almost like they had it ready to go. They pivot to Trey Hendrickson. It feels like they had, by the letter of the law, they had the ability to fail [Crosby] for the physical because he's not ready to play. Technically the Ravens didn't break any rules, they just used it to get someone better that just came available.

This is a satirical bit; Crosby and Hendrickson did not have these transactions in real life.
