Football is now primarily a TV sport, not an in-person sport
I think we've reached the point where we primarily think of football as a TV sport. Not an in-person sport. We lose track of the fact that people... well in our defense, 99% of the audience is TV. Probably higher.

View episodeBetting on the Heat to win the series while up 3-0 was a 'sharp' bet based on expected value and ROI
It was a plus expected value on the bet, by the way... I was getting 10% return on investment. It should have been about 5% given the history of the NBA in three-nothing leads. So it was a sharp bet. I don't regret anything. I'm a process guy, not a results guy.

Joe Mazzulla visiting a hospital before Game 5 is 'Gary V adjacent' and psycho behavior
He said watching a girl dying and smiling and enjoying her life, that's what it's really all about. So he gained some perspective.

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.
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.
