I am back on the Tua Tagovailoa train because he looks better throwing without college stripes

Watching [Tua Tagovailoa] throw with an NFL ball looks good. Like the witchcraft is gone or whatever. It looks I think it goes from looking like it's spinning clockwise to looking like it's spinning counterclockwise now that it has the stripes off. So I'm 100% on board the Tua train.

Tua was drafted 5th overall and has had a successful NFL career, validating PFT's 'return' to the hype train.

The NBA HORSE competition is completely uninteresting

We did have HORSE last night which I'll tell you right now. I did not watch did not tune into that. Zach LaVine, that's really the only Zach LaVine who competes in every single like off-the-books contest there is... Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, really no interest in it whatsoever.

The HORSE competition was widely panned by fans and media for poor production quality and low stakes.

MLB should use completely random divisions if they play a shortened season

I'm actually all for this because it's going to be such a weird season anyway. If they play a shortened season that why not have just completely random divisions and have it beat something totally different where we always look back and I'm like, oh, yeah, that was the season that the Cubs were in the same division as the Giants.

MLB did eventually realign divisions geographically (East/Central/West) for the 2020 season, but they weren't 'completely random.'

The NFL Draft is the only thing keeping sports fans going right now

The only thing that we have pulling us forward right now is the NFL draft. And thank God that that's there because that's at least giving us something to talk about. It feels normal that it's going to happen.

The draft did indeed proceed on schedule in April 2020 and was a major cultural moment for sports fans during the lockdown.

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.
