The new "Moneyball" is pairing fast wide receivers with quarterbacks who only have 95% arm strength
I think that's what Mike McDaniel learned. He's like, we can absolutely hack the rule book if you just run faster than everyone and then probably maybe get underthrown just a little bit... and then you start working your way back to the ball you get interfered with. I'm just saying... that is the new Moneyball. It's just fast, fast wide receivers with like 95% arm strength quarterbacks.

Justin Jefferson is the best receiver in the NFL and, and I'm confident in saying that what he did in that game, the catches he made, the fourth down catch he made was one of the craziest catches I've ever seen.
The Vikings aren't total frauds, but they are "fraudulent adjacent"
I don't believe that the Vikings are complete and total frauds. I think that they're partially frauds. They're fraudulent adjacent. I am worried that they would get to the NFC championship game... because the way the NFC is shaking out, it feels like if the Vikings will get that second seed and whoever is the seven seed is going to be a team that we think about as like, 'ooh, watch out for them.'
The Vikings will win at least one playoff game this season
The Vikings will probably win a playoff game and we, we will get nervous at that point. I'm worried about the Vikings because they will have home, home field advantage to the NFC. They will probably win a playoff game.

View profileThe 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.
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.
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.
