Ben Roethlisberger's porn addiction admission is a genius move to distract from his real past

This was genius by him. Of course everything that he does is genius, right? Be like, I'm not talking about my real past. I'm talking about my porn. And yes, this is the androstenedione in the locker for Mark McGwire that Roethlisberger's bringing.

The take is satirical, but Roethlisberger did publicly claim he had a porn addiction during a conference speech in June 2020.

Theo Epstein is a genius for not trading Kyle Schwarber because he knew a 60-game season was coming.

Theo Epstein is a fucking genius. He knew that we were gonna have a pandemic and then a 60-game season and that's why I didn't trade Kyle Schwarber in...

Incorrect. Schwarber struggled in the 60-game season, hitting only .188, and was non-tendered by the Cubs that winter.

Tom Brady is on the hot seat for leading workouts during the COVID-19 spike.

Tom Brady is on the hot seat... despite the NFLPA advising that players should not work out together, Tom Brady led another Bucs workout this morning...

Incorrect. Brady was not actually on a 'hot seat' with his team or the league, and the workouts helped him win a Super Bowl that season.

I call into question Kyle Shanahan's judgment knowing he has a Chris Simms tattoo on his calf.

Do you call into question [Kyle Shanahan's] judgment knowing that he has Chris Simms' initials tattooed on his calf? ... He tells a story about why they did it and it still doesn't make sense. I mean it just was a bad decision.

Whether a tattoo indicates poor judgment for coaching is entirely subjective.

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.
