Comedy is officially back on Twitter

My who's back of the week is comedy because comedy is now legal on Twitter. ... Elon Musk took over Twitter and now the reports that he's gonna charge people that have blue check marks $20 a month to keep their blue check.

Whether comedy returned to Twitter is purely subjective, though the platform's moderation policies and atmosphere changed significantly.

Kirk Cousins is the second most liked player in the NFL

I saw a study that came out that actually addresses this very question. ... And the number one most like player is Kirk Cousins. Oh, and number two, they're outta here. No, no, no, he's, sorry. He's number two. Number one. Russell Wilson.

Likability studies are subjective and vary by methodology, but various 'Q Scores' and fan polls around this time did surprisingly show Wilson and Cousins with high name recognition and neutral/positive ratings among casual fans despite internet memes.

No NFL quarterback has a closer connection to their city right now than Josh Allen has with Buffalo

I don't think there is a closer connection quarterback to city right now than Josh what Josh Allen has going on in Buffalo. ... I don't think there's anyone right now [above him].

Subjective measure of fan-player relationships, but Allen's status in Buffalo remains near-mythological.

Trevor Lawrence is officially back in the bust category

Trevor Lawrence is now back officially into the bust category. ... This is as rock bottom as you can be if you're a Jaguars fan because you have the guy that was supposed to be the next Peyton Manning, the surest thing. ... You can't miss and then you might miss. That's as rock bottom as it gets.

While Lawrence struggled in 2022, he eventually led the Jaguars to a playoff win that same season and earned a massive extension, making the 'bust' label incorrect in the long run.

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.
