I will read exactly one book and visit one museum in 2019

I have literally read one book [as a resolution]. That's a lot. I know that's a lot. I can do that. I also read, go to one museum. I have to pay for a ticket and try to learn a couple things in one museum.

PFT's personal resolution about reading one book and visiting one museum in 2019. Cannot be verified externally.

The Vikings are just one win away from the playoffs

The Vikings are now one win away from the playoffs, and as my good friend Shaquille O'Neal famously once said, Can you step on digit? Vikings 27, Lions 9.

The Vikings lost to the Bears in Week 17 and missed the playoffs, so while the 'one win away' claim was technically true at the moment, they did not achieve it.

The Ravens are the NFL team of the weekend

Our team of the weekend has to be the Ravens. What they did on Saturday night, going to San Diego and beating Phil Rivers and a super hot Chargers team by playing 1940s offense is unbelievable. They do bully ball.

The Ravens finished the season 10-6 and won the AFC North, proving Big Cat's praise of their momentum at the time was well-founded.

I'm not selling my Chargers stock yet

I'm still hanging on to my Charger stock. It's going to turn around just like Bitcoin. I completely agree that was a nightmare matchup for the chargers.

The Chargers actually went on to beat the Ravens in the Wild Card round a few weeks later, proving PFT right that they would turn it around.

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.
