The NBA's plan to push West Coast games to 11 PM Eastern is a bad move compared to MLB's regional focus

The NBA is actually doing the reverse. You see that they're doing a like, coast to coast where they're gonna push back the West Coast games to 11:00 PM Eastern time... I don't know and maybe the Mets and Yankees would be in the same division [in MLB], which that, that would, I feel like that would be a mistake.

Subjective business/media strategy opinion.

The NFL will officially announce starting quarterbacks for the Browns and Colts this week

I think we're gonna get starting quarterbacks announced maybe this week... I think we're gonna get announcements from the teams this week of who the starting guys are gonna be in Cleveland [and Indy].

The Browns announced Deshaun Watson (and Jameis Winston as backup) later that week, and the Colts confirmed Anthony Richardson.

Kevin Stefanski will start Joe Flacco to buy time while Dylan Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders compete for the future

I think what [Kevin Stefanski] is gonna do is start Flacco and then he'll continue to have Gabriel and Sanders kind of like going shot for shot. See, figuring out who the next guy Ups gonna be. Yep. And he's gonna buy himself a couple weeks by having Flacco start.

The Browns actually entered the season with Deshaun Watson as the starter; Flacco was not on the roster to start 2024, and Dylan Gabriel stayed in college for another year.

Matthew Stafford will miss a few games this season due to injury

I think [Matthew Stafford] can start and finish the season, but I think he'll probably miss a couple games inside the season.

Matthew Stafford did not miss significant games in 2025. He had an MVP-caliber season with 4,707 passing yards (1st in NFL), played all or nearly all games, and led the league in yards and TDs.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
