NASA's Mars Insight lander will find 'evidence of water' that we already knew about

They're going to maybe find traces of what might have been water a billion years ago. But the headlines are going to say evidence of water on Mars, which we already have.

NASA discoveries frequently emphasize historical water traces, though whether they were 'already known' is a matter of scientific nuance.

No NFL team has ever gone 0-3 then 8-0 and failed to win the Super Bowl

Has any team ever gone 0-3 and then 8-0 and then not won the Super Bowl? It's never happened. It's never happened before.

The 2018 Texans did exactly this (0-3 then 9-0) and lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts. They did not win the Super Bowl.

I don't think the Texans can win three playoff games to reach the Super Bowl

I don't think [the Texans] can win three playoff games, but I do think they can win two playoff games to then get to the Super Bowl. And then if they're in the Super Bowl, it's like... I don't even know what we do.

The Texans won the AFC South but lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts (1-1 in playoffs), so they did not win two or three games.

Cody Kessler is trash

I think Cody Kessler stinks. I think he's trash. He's absolutely trash.

Kessler's NFL career as a starter was very short-lived and unsuccessful; he was 2-10 as a starter overall.

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.
