Gonzaga should absolutely play in a real conference

Well, you should play in a real conference. You should absolutely play in a real conference. Yes, I'm going to say that with my chest. And yeah, a lot of it has to do with the fact that there aren't a ton of Gonzaga fans out there. It's not like we're talking shit about the Steelers... With Gonzaga, it's like free play. Consequence free zone.

This is a subjective debate about conference strength, though Gonzaga moved to the Pac-12 in 2024, showing they eventually agreed they needed a change.

No one in the world was beating Baylor in the National Championship game

No one in the world was beating Baylor on Monday night. And I think that we spent all year talking about how great Gonzaga was, rightfully so, because they were undefeated. But the real debate now is, is Baylor an all-time great team? Because they destroyed everyone in the tournament.

Baylor won 86-70 in a game that was rarely close, validating this take.

Baylor is already in the conversation for the best college basketball champion of the last 30 years

Baylor is already in the conversation for best champion in the last 30 years. [They] destroyed everyone in the tournament. The only team that covered against Baylor was the University of Hartford.

Baylor's 2021 run is statistically one of the most dominant in modern history, making this a widely held opinion in retrospect.

Drew Timmy has no choice but to return to college after his bad championship performance

Here's something nice for Gonzaga fans. Drew Timmy played so bad in the championship game. He has no choice but to come back to college.

Drew Timme did return to Gonzaga for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

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.
