The only silver lining for the Bengals after Joe Burrow's injury is that they will likely draft a franchise offensive tackle like Penei Sewell to protect him for a decade.

They are probably not going to win another game. Guess what? A franchise level offensive tackle—Panay Suo [Penei Sewell] from Oregon who opted out this year can now protect Joe Burrow... you'll probably get a guy who's going to anchor your line for a decade to protect Joe Burrow.

The Bengals had the #5 pick and passed on Penei Sewell to draft wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Sewell went #7 to the Lions.

Derek Carr has officially improved and we need to stop thinking of him as mediocre.

There is definitely like an old Derek Carr thing that we have in our brain that we have to move past and be like, he's actually just good.

Carr had a strong statistical season in 2020 (4,103 yards, 27 TDs, 9 INTs), largely validating the 'good' label.

The Raiders are the team the Chiefs don't want to face in the playoffs and could make a run like the 2019 Titans.

The Raiders are, I would say, the team that the Chiefs don't want to face in the playoffs... they feel like a team that has enough going for them that they could make some—I'm putting them in my 'make some noise.' I could see the Raiders making a similar run [to the 2019 Titans] this year.

The Raiders finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

We need to stop making fun of Jon Gruden because he is actually a very good head coach.

John Gruden, it's time for us to forget about all the fun that we've made of John Gruden because he's actually like a very good head coach. I don't know [if he's worth 10 years, $100 million], but was John Gruden in his bag tonight? Yeah... He coached as good a game against the Chiefs as I think you can do pretty much.

The Raiders finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs in 2020, and Gruden resigned midway through the following season. His tenure is generally viewed as a failure relative to the contract.

The Brewers have the World Series sealed

I think the Brewers have this thing sealed up after an insane Monday night where they were just awesome.

The episode says Tampa Bay extended the series to Game 5, so the prediction was not yet resolved at the time of this transcript; the eventual World Series result is not established in the provided context.

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.
