The ceiling for Derek Carr and the Saints is a second-round playoff loss.

The Derek Carr deal... if you're a Saints fan, I guess you're like, 'Hey, it's better than what we've been going through.' But doesn't it feel like the ceiling for Derek Carr and the Saints is like maybe a second round loss?

The Saints went 9-8 in Carr's first season and missed the playoffs entirely, falling well short of even the 'ceiling' of a second-round loss.

The Ravens would have used the exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson if they truly believed a long-term deal was coming.

If you're the Ravens GM and you truly believe that you're going to re-sign Lamar Jackson to a long-term deal... wouldn't you make it an exclusive franchise tag? I certainly would. If you're confident that you can reach a place where you'll have an extension, then you would probably put that tag on him instead of the lesser amount and then leave the option for him to get signed by somebody else.

The Ravens did eventually sign Lamar Jackson to a 5-year, $260 million extension on April 27, 2023, after using the non-exclusive tag, proving they could reach an agreement despite the tag choice.

Lamar Jackson is the future quarterback of the Washington Commanders.

I can report exclusively via Leroy that the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills will not be pursuing Lamar Jackson... That basically just leaves the commanders and that's it. So future Commander Lamar Jackson, I refuse to let Schefter beat me on.

Lamar Jackson ultimately signed a long-term extension with the Baltimore Ravens on April 27, 2023.

Derek Carr and Daniel Jones will be the new era of the Carson Wentz vs. Dak Prescott debate.

We've definitely got the new era of the Carson Wentz versus Dak Prescott debate already set up and ready to go for us. And that's Daniel Jones and Derek Carr. Now we'll be tied in because of, they're got, they got essentially the same contract.

The comparison did persist for a year or two, though both players eventually struggled significantly, moving the conversation away from their 'rivalry' to their 'contracts'.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
