The Bears are no longer one of the 'truly terrible' teams in the NFL.

The bears are not as bad as people think they are. They are. They're [not] the worst teams in the league... which are the Panthers, the giants, maybe the Patriots, the Cardinals... I think the Bears are a step above that. They get lumped in there. They've actually been playing really good defense.

The Bears finished 7-10, significantly better than the Panthers (2-15) and Patriots (4-13), proving Big Cat right that they weren't in the bottom tier.

The Bengals' season is effectively over following Joe Burrow's wrist injury.

Joe Burrow looks to be out for a very long time. I, it is a UCL injury. Couldn't grip the football. Just the biggest bummer. And now it looks like we will not get the Bengals or Joe Burrow, more importantly Joe Burrow in the playoffs... the Bengals season is over.

The Bengals finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs as Burrow did indeed miss the rest of the season.

Joe Flacco winning a Super Bowl with the Browns is the best potential outcome for the season.

What a story that would be, huh? Oh, if Joe Flacco came in, handed the ball off for 90% of the time, threw 12 passes a game and the Browns won the Super Bowl. Yes. I think that's what I'm rooting for now.

Flacco did lead the Browns to the playoffs and won Comeback Player of the Year, but they lost in the Wild Card round.

The NFL injury reporting system is a joke that may eventually lead to congressional hearings.

Florio said, meanwhile, the NFL injury reporting system is a joke as evidenced by Burrow's wrist injury being hidden. The joke will be on the NFL when Congress calls a hearing or a prosecutor convenes a grand jury. I would love to see that... if you want to get people behind you just bring Roger Goodell up and make him testify under oath.

While the NFL investigated and the Bengals were fined, no congressional hearings or grand juries were convened over the matter.

The Brewers are the best team in baseball

They're the best team at baseball all year, and they proved it. They absolutely decimated the Dodgers.

The Brewers had reached the World Series and were described in the episode as having the best regular season; whether they were definitively the best team is partly subjective.

Bo Nix's problem is getting bigger

The Bo Nix problem seems to be getting bigger and bigger. What are we watching?

This is a judgment about Nix's trajectory and the Broncos' confidence in him, not a binary factual prediction.

A 24-team playoff is ruining college football

We're moving to a 24-team playoff. It just sucks. We don't need 24 teams. Twelve is probably a stretch already. What made college football special was the regular season mattered so much.

Whether playoff expansion improves or harms college football is an evaluative judgment.
