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 Rays are playing an exciting brand of baseball

It's a very, very exciting brand of baseball. And I'm gonna miss it when it's over. So I did not wanna sweep, so thank you.

This is a subjective assessment of style and cannot be definitively judged.

The Cowboys are a bad football team

The Cowboys are a bad football team. And I can't wait for people to start to say like, this is when, look at the schedule. Dallas is gonna put some wins together.

The quality of a team is partly evaluative, though the season's playoff result could test the narrower claim that Dallas is not a serious championship threat.

Performance-enhancing drug shortages may explain dominant teams falling off

There started to be severe, severe supply chain issues when it came to performance enhancing drugs and peptide shipments coming to the United States. I just think it's interesting.

This speculative causal theory is not established by the transcript or otherwise verifiable from the available context.
