The NFL should expand to eight playoff seeds in both conferences to make the field fair for everyone

There's another possible outcome that we can have here. This is the one that I think that they should do. This seems to be the most fair one. They are considering giving eight seeds in the AFC as well as the NFC. Ooh. Because the nurse back, that would be more fair if you can't just have, you know, the the number one seed in the NFC, get a leg up and get that buy week if the AFC doesn't get it. Right. So I think that that's the fairest way to go about it.

The NFL did not expand the playoffs; they settled the AFC issues with neutral site contingencies.

The AFC Championship Game should be played at a neutral site in Detroit

Let's be honest, the answer is Detroit. Because it's always Detroit for these games. And then we'd also have the joke of like, this team has won more games in Detroit—playoff games in Detroit—than Detroit in the last 30 years. You just gotta always fall back to what is the trivia answer that would hurt Detroit the most.

While Detroit was considered, the NFL eventually settled on Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium) as the potential neutral site for the 2022-23 AFC Championship game.

Lovie Smith will purposely tank the Week 18 game against the Colts to secure the #1 overall pick

Lovie Smith, there's precedent for him tanking at the end of a season. If you remember in 2014, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers... basically tanked in real life. He tanked right as we were watching it. He tanked that game. I think he will do the same in this game. Even if they get a lead, he will make sure that they find a way to lose.

Lovie Smith famously did the opposite: the Texans won on a last-second TD and 2-point conversion, giving the #1 pick to the Bears.

The Chargers will beat the Broncos by at least a touchdown in Week 18

I love the Chargers. I can't believe how much I love the Chargers this weekend. And this again, it might be me continuing to buy into the Chargers bullshit. But I think that the Chargers win this. I'm gonna adjust the line on this now... Go charges minus six and a half.

The Chargers lost to the Broncos 31-28.

Getting excited for the NFL schedule release is for pussies

I can't get it up for the schedule release because it's—if you explained what the schedule release was to Vince Lombardi, he'd call you a pussy and spit in your face.

The schedule release is a highly watched media event, though many analysts share the sentiment that it is overblown.

The NFL should release one game schedule per day for the entire off-season

The NFL, they should do, they should draw it out even longer. It should be one game that Roger Goodell releases per day for the entire off-season. And then at the end of it, he's like, okay, let's play some ball.

This is a procedural suggestion that has not been implemented by the league.

The Preakness Stakes should move its date to three weeks before the Kentucky Derby

Why doesn't the Preakness just say, screw it to the Kentucky Derby and schedule their main race for like three weeks before the Kentucky Derby? You wanna play hardball? Yeah, you could play hardball. I feel like if you, if your horse wins the Preakness, if it was scheduled for before the Derby, you're not skipping the derby. No, you gotta run in the derby.

This is a hypothetical scheduling proposal to solve the issue of horses skipping the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
