A 17-game NFL season is just a bridge to an 18-game season

17 seems like a weird number. It absolutely feels like it's just a bridge to get to 18 games. Like that's the finish line. It's going to be 18 games. No one's going to want a 17-game season.

While the NFL stayed at 17 games for several years, talk of expanding to 18 games became dominant among owners and the commissioner by 2024.

Duke has already lost the last game of the year

Duke has already lost the last game of the year, guys. I said it. Sorry. It already happened.

The 2020 NCAA Tournament was cancelled shortly after this episode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so Duke technically didn't lose another game that season.

Jameis Winston is a future Hall of Famer because he throws so many interceptions to learn from

If you learn more from a loss and interception than you do from throwing a touchdown or winning a game like [Jameis Winston] is going to be—that's why he's a future Hall of Famer. He's just storing up all the knowledge right now.

Winston did not become a Hall of Fame caliber player; his career remained marked by turnovers and backup roles.

More football is always better

I'm technically in favor of this [expanding the schedule] because it's more football and more football equals better.

This is a subjective value judgment on the quality of the NFL product.

The 2026 World Cup final was boring and sucked.

It was boring ass soccer. It sucked. It made me thankful that the World Cup's over, that football's back. Now we can get back into real football, which I'm very, very thankful for. But that was actually, I think that was the best way to end the World Cup, because I'm totally fine with no more soccer now.

Fanatics Fest is a cynical place designed only to take money from fans.

It also seems like the most cynical place ever. Like, you can go to an autograph festival or a fan festival and you know that the guys are being paid to be there. And they're still like, happy to see, interact with you, all that shit. It just seems like every single thing about being at that place is just designed to take money from the people that are there.

Bryson DeChambeau is being targeted by selective rule enforcement.

I think that Bryson definitely did it and it's definitely against the rules. And he got caught for it and they enforced it against him because he's a bad boy. He's had some run-ins before. I don't think the R&A or whatever, I don't think they're particularly happy with Bryson right now.
