The Colts are the best team in the muddled AFC seven-seed race

The seven seed just muddles everything because there are like five teams, six teams that you throw in that pile that are either six and five or six and six. ... I'd actually say the [Colts] are probably the best of that group.

The Colts famously collapsed and lost to the Jaguars in Week 18, missing the playoffs entirely, while other teams in that 'muddled' group made it.

Justin Tucker would be a first-round draft pick today

If Justin Tucker was in the draft tomorrow, he has to be first rounder. And I know that sounds crazy. Someone has to, some stat nerd has to do like a deep dive on just the amount of points that the Ravens get in terms of edge wise. The fact that they're the minute they get past the 50 yard line, it's like, alright. As long as we don't turn the ball over, it's an automatic three points.

While Tucker is a Hall of Famer, no kicker has been drafted in the first round in the modern era (since Sebastian Janikowski in 2000).

The Ravens should run a triple option offense with Justin Tucker kicking everything inside 70 yards

They should set up the nastiest offensive line possible have maybe two really good running backs and then just run wild cat down the field and then kick field goals with Justin Tucker. ... just let [Tucker] kick inside 70 yards every time until he misses one.

The Ravens did not transition to a triple-option offense, and while Tucker is great, kicking from 70 every time is not a viable NFL strategy.

The Colts are the 'AFC Vikings'

The Colts are just the AFC Vikings at this point where every single game you watch it. And you're like, this team is good. They can beat anyone, but they will eventually find a way to fuck up at the worst possible time.

The Colts finished 9-8 and famously missed the playoffs in Week 18 against the Jaguars, fulfilling the 'choke' prophecy.

There will be no MLB lockout

They'll figure it out. There's too much at stake. They'll figure it out. It's not 1994 anymore. They'll figure it out.

The transcript is from October 2026 and the provided context does not establish whether MLB games were ultimately missed.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
