The good news is you only have nine more years of John Gruden. [But] what year do you think he's going to be out, though? Probably next year.

Gruden was not out by 2019; he coached until his resignation in October 2021.

The Raiders are the worst team in the NFL

The Raiders are the worst team in the league. And that is also considering the fact they beat the Browns. But they are the worst team in the league.

The Raiders finished 2018 at 4-12. While they were bottom-tier, the Cardinals (3-13) statistically had a worse record.

Nick Mullens will have a job for life as an NFL backup quarterback

Nick Mullens will have a job for life... he basically will have a Chase Daniel career where he can get paid in a million different stops and never play again and be fine.

As of 2024, Nick Mullens has remained in the NFL as a reliable backup for the 49ers, Browns, Raiders, and Vikings, fulfilling the 'job for life' prediction.

George Kittle is the second-best tight end in the NFL behind Travis Kelce

George Kittle... now he's probably the second-best tight end behind Travis Kelce in the league. Sick brag on our part. But George, this is us saying, please come on the show now that you're bigger than us.

Kittle finished the 2018 season with 1,377 receiving yards (an NFL record for TEs at the time) and was a First-team All-Pro shortly after.

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.
