The MLB is starting the lockout now specifically so it doesn't impact Opening Day.

They're doing the lockout now because if they waited any longer to do it, then it would impact opening day. So they're doing today what I would just push off till much later and then suffer the repercussions because we would miss games.

The lockout lasted 99 days and actually did delay the start of the 2022 MLB season.

Taysom Hill is probably not the Saints' quarterback of the future

Yeah, Taysom Hill probably not, probably not the quarterback of the future, but he's still, I still like Taysom.

Correct. Taysom Hill eventually transitioned back into a utility/tight end role under Dennis Allen, and the Saints moved on to Jameis Winston and later Derek Carr.

The Saints' season is officially over

I think [the Saints'] season is officially over just because we've... they've kind of kept in a lot of these games, even though they haven't [won]. But that Taysom Hill is just the whole entire offense. [Alvin] Kamara not being there, Michael Thomas just retiring early... the whole thing just feels like it's falling apart.

The Saints finished 9-8 and narrowly missed the playoffs due to a tiebreaker with the Eagles.

Taysom Hill is the Nate Diaz of quarterbacks

Billy's take on Taysom Hill, by the way, was like, he's the Nate Diaz of quarterbacks where he's... he may not win, but you respect them... like he'll just straight up get his ass kicked... then afterwards you're like, he didn't stop running.

Subjective comparison between a quarterback and an MMA fighter based on 'grit' and lack of traditional polish.

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.
