Ben McAdoo benching Eli Manning for Geno Smith is performance art

If you have fucked up your job so badly that Geno Smith is the answer to whatever your problem is... that is performance art. It is hilarious to me. So Ben McAdoo, I know you probably didn't mean to screw up this badly, but thank you for doing it.

The move was widely panned and both Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese were fired just days later, confirming the 'performance art' level of failure.

Pittsburgh might be the Garden of Eden

I've said it before about Pittsburgh, three rivers meeting, the Garden of Eden in the Bible. It was at the connection of three rivers. Pittsburgh might be the Garden of Eden.

The location of the biblical Garden of Eden is a matter of myth and theological debate, though it is widely accepted to not be in Western Pennsylvania.

Eli Manning will go to Denver and win a Super Bowl

Here's my prediction. You ready for this? A Manning family tradition. Goes to Denver. Wins the Super Bowl.

Eli Manning never played for the Denver Broncos; he remained with the Giants until his retirement in early 2020.

The CFP committee got the rankings exactly right

I actually think they got it exactly right. I think Wisconsin should be four. I think Alabama should be five. And that, like, Ohio State, Miami, like, it feels like all those teams, they could probably leapfrog, but they're outside looking in. Like, that's exactly where they should be.

While this was his opinion on the current rankings, the final rankings after the conference championships saw Alabama jump into the playoff while Wisconsin fell out after losing to Ohio State.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
