Matt Fitzpatrick's bunker shot on the 18th was iconic

We got an iconic shot out of it. We got a shot that we remember, the shot from the bunker on 18. That was an incredible, incredible approach that Fitzpatrick hit on that hole.

The shot is widely considered the shot of the year and the defining moment of Fitzpatrick's first major win.

Will Zalatoris has to figure out his putting based on vibes

I actually afterwards said that Will Zalatoris has to figure out his putting... I do strokes gained by vibes. He missed a big putt. He, I would say he lost somewhere around $50,000 worth of strokes gained for me personally.

While Zalatoris had positive strokes gained putting for the tournament, his stroke is famously unconventional and 'twitchy,' leading to the common perception Big Cat is voicing.

I will bet Will Zalatoris for every Major until he finally wins one

I am now financially and emotionally attached to Will Zalatoris to a level that I will bet him significantly for every Major, until he wins one. And if he just becomes one of those guys that never wins one, well, my kids won't go to college.

Will Zalatoris did eventually win his first PGA Tour event (2022 St. Jude), but as of mid-2024, he still has not won a Major (though he has many top-10s).

The US Open should only be won by Americans

Not to be xenophobic, but the US Open should be won by an American. So as far as I'm concerned, Will Zalatoris is the champion.

The US Open is an open championship for all nationalities, but Big Cat is jokingly arguing for national exclusivity because he lost a bet.

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.
