The last 12 months in DC sports is a top five all-time bad sports year for a city

Based on the research that I've done, I think that the last 12 months in DC sports has been a top five all time bad sports year for a city, for a sport, for sports town. All four major sports. The Wizards historically bad. The nationals were terrible last year... the commander's backsliding and just disappointing everybody.

While subjective, the performance of the Wizards and Commanders during the 2024-2025 period aligns with this assessment of a historic low for the city.

Luke McCaffrey will make the Pro Bowl next year

I've got that means Luke McCaffrey Pro Bowl next year. Mm. That's what that means.

Luke McCaffrey is an emerging talent, but a Pro Bowl nod in his second season is a high bar.

I hate the NBA Play-in and won't take it seriously until a 9th or 10th seed goes deep

I hate the playing. I hate the playing... it's stupid and I honestly like, until a team in the ninth or 10th spot can go deep in the playoffs, I'm not gonna take it seriously. The ninth or 10th team are never gonna win. Like, they're never gonna go deep. This isn't serious.

The 2023 Miami Heat reached the Finals from the play-in, but Big Cat qualifies his take by dismissing teams that were 'playoff teams anyway'.

Gout Gout is the next Usain Bolt

18-year-old Australian Sprint Phenom ran a 19.67 in the 200 meter breaking Usain Bolt's record. Only 18 years old. Great name. He's next. Usain Bolt shaking in his boots.

Gout Gout is a real athlete who has indeed broken Bolt's U18 records in 2024, but 'next Usain Bolt' is a monumental status to achieve.

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.
