The 2020 MLB season should be as weird as possible, including restructured divisions

If this season is going to be weird make it really fucking weird... I love this idea that they're going to restructure how the divisions are... it would be so disappointing if they did a shortened baseball season and nothing was different... I don't need to see the Cubs for the Pirates 19 times. I want to see weird shit happened.

MLB did implement several 'weird' changes for 2020, including a 60-game season, universal DH, 7-inning doubleheaders, and the 'ghost runner' in extra innings.

Jameis Winston signing with the Saints is a genius move to eventually become the starter in waiting

It actually is genius move by him because Drew Brees you have to think... maybe this year's is last year. Maybe he's got two more years. If you could ingratiate yourself to Sean Payton and what they have going on there... that's actually a very smart thing to do to be the guy in waiting.

Jameis did eventually become the starter for the Saints in 2021 after Brees retired, although injuries hampered his tenure.

If Jameis Winston throws zero touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, he'll still be second all-time at the age of 27 for both stats, only behind Dan Marino

I got a stat for you: if Jameis Winston throws zero touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, he still will be second all-time at the age of 27 for touchdowns and interceptions, only behind Dan Marino.

By age 27 (end of 2021 season), Winston had 135 TDs and 91 INTs. Marino had 196 TDs and 131 INTs. Winston was actually quite high on the list for volume at that age due to starting so young, though the 'zero TD/INT' hypothetical is a bit of a stretch.

Josh Allen is playing quarterback on easy mode

We're a Josh Allen podcast. People sometimes get upset about how much we glaze him. I don't think we glaze him enough because he's playing quarterback on easy mode. It looks like that for him. The flick of the wrist, the runs, everything—it all looks like the game is slowed down for him. He's in just total control of the game.

Subjective assessment of Josh Allen's play and dominance.

The Bears will beat the Vikings, but they won't score 59 again

I think the Bears are gonna win. I do not think they're gonna score 59 points. I do think they're gonna win.

The Bears-Vikings result and Chicago's point total will determine this prediction.
