Drake May should win Most Improved Player and maybe MVP

Drake May wins the sophomore quarterback rankings. Drake May is—should we say our as a podcast—Most Improved Player of the year. Slash sophomore of the year.

Drake Maye had incredible 2025 — league-leading 113.5 passer rating, 4,394 yards, 31 TDs, led Pats to 14-3 and Super Bowl. Strong MIP case but lost MVP to Stafford.

The Steelers are into the playoffs and I think they could win a game

The Steelers are into the playoffs and I still think they could win a playoff game. Now they're playing the Texans. I think they might.

The Steelers made the playoffs at 10-7 but were blown out by the Texans 30-6 in the Wild Card round. They did not win a playoff game.

You have to take the Panthers (+10.5) against the Rams in the Wild Card round

The Rams are 10.5 point favorites against the Panthers. Think we gotta take the Panthers. Think we gotta meow mix it up. Take the Panthers, keep pounding.

Big Cat took the Panthers +10.5 against the Rams in the Wild Card round. The Rams beat the Panthers 34-31, a 3-point margin. The Panthers easily covered the 10.5-point spread, making this a winning bet.

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.
