The NFL is officially bigger than Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce went to a Taylor Swift concert, right? Taylor Swift has gone to two Travis Kelce's games after this week. Seems like I was right. The NFL's bigger than Taylor Swift.

This is a subjective joke about cultural reach, impossible to factually resolve.

The Detroit Lions are for real

The Detroit Lions are for real. They go into Lambeau, they punch the Packers in the mouth. David Montgomery was absolutely unstoppable. They've gone to Arrowhead, they've gone to Lambeau, they won both games as road teams and they are looking great.

The Lions finished 12-5, won the NFC North, and reached the NFC Championship game.

It would take a Super Bowl win for people to start hating Lions fans

I don't think people will hate Lions fans unless they win a Super Bowl and then they would start to hate them. It's kind of like the Cubs or the Red Sox, where after they won theirs, people started to hate it. But the first one, I think people would all be about because it is a tortured fan base.

This is a subjective take on sports fan psychology.

Damian Lillard is past his prime

I think Damian Lillard's a little old, a little past his prime. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are in their prime. Damian Lillard's washed up.

Lillard had a down year by his standards in 2023-24 but was still an All-Star and hit major playoff shots, though the Bucks were eliminated early.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
