Tony Romo's massive contract was purely a result of being in the "absolute perfect place at the perfect time."

I have no idea. I have no animosity jealousy anything I am happy for [Romo]. And he doesn't do what I do. So, you know, I wonder but others in this business trying to follow that model to me Romo was in the the absolute perfect place at the perfect time with two networks that were dying to either keep him or get him and it just came up at the right time for him and he cashed in.

Romo's deal set a new market for top analysts, which was indeed driven by a bidding war between CBS and ESPN.

Mike Francesa is making his content less accessible to the few people still listening

My friend says it was like hey, you know, what's a good idea to make sure that my content is even less accessible to the people? ... It's the MLB model. Yes. If he was smart, he would just start his own Twitter account for his own show. But I guess he's sunk a lot of production costs into doing the mics on app.

Francesa eventually left WFAN again and his app-centric model didn't significantly revitalize his reach compared to his peak terrestrial radio years.

The quarantine will result in a generation of "Corona Livers" due to the massive spike in alcohol consumption.

Alcohol consumption is going way off in America. People are talking about having Corona babies. They're going to be Corona livers in about three or four months.

Data from the pandemic era did show a significant increase in alcohol-related liver disease and deaths starting in 2020.

Robert Kraft's mask donation should be treated as a good deed regardless of his politics

I just feel like we're at the point in time where it's like any good deed that can help the greater cause here, let's just let it be a good deed. What's especially egregious considering that he could go right down the street to Chris Sale and be like, 'Hey Chris, can you cut up some more MLB jerseys to Masks?'

This is a subjective moral/ethical opinion on public discourse.

The only reason celebrities agreed to write chapters for the PMT book is out of fear they would be turned on by the hosts

The answer to your question is why would any of these people agree to do any of this? 'Cause we don't want you two pricks to turn on us... We're trying to... I'm keeping you close so I can do a little bit of work to keep you guys on my side.

While Buck is being humorous, many guests have alluded to the power of the PMT fan base and the benefit of being 'in on the joke.'

Ferdinand Magellan and Al Michaels are the only two 'map guys' in human history.

Al Michaels. That's that... he's brilliant at knowing he's a map guy. And, maybe that's good for the brain. I hope that I'm half as good as Al Michaels when I'm at that stage of my career... but I've never heard of a map guy other than maybe Magellan and Al Michaels. I was like, sit around studying maps? I just, no, that's why Netflix was created.

A comedic exaggeration about Al Michaels' geography skills.
