Duke will make a run in the NCAA tournament

I do think that Coach K is going to get the guys together and they're going to make a run in the tournament though. Next week's tournament. The real tournament. I think Duke's going to the Final Four.

Duke reached the Final Four in 2022, Coach K's final season, where they lost to North Carolina.

I am the biggest Carson Wentz super fan in the world right now

I've reached this point in my bargaining stage where I think I'm the biggest Carson Wentz super fan in the world right now. I've had some time to think it through logically... Carson Wentz's ceiling is better than any quarterback in that division. Now, all we have to do is to get him to play at his ceiling on an average basis.

Carson Wentz's tenure with the Commanders was widely considered a failure, and he was benched/released after one season.

Carson Wentz's ceiling is better than any other quarterback in the NFC East

I'm fully invested in thinking about [Carson Wentz's] ceiling. He's a big ceiling guy. Yes. His ceiling is better than any quarterback in that division [the NFC East] now.

Wentz was benched for Taylor Heinicke later that season and the Commanders finished last in the division. Both Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts clearly outperformed him in both floor and ceiling.

Carson Wentz is statistically the best quarterback in Washington franchise history

Carson Wentz in the last 20 years, Carson Wentz is actually the best quarterback the Washington football team franchise will have. So if you do minimum three games, Carson Wentz has 1.63 TDs per game. The second one on that list is Shane Matthews... [Wentz] is blowing the competition out of the water.

Wentz's tenure in Washington was a disaster. He ended the 2022 season with 11 TDs in 8 games (1.37 per game), falling below the mark Big Cat cited and losing his job.

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.
