The quarantine will result in a generation of "Corona Livers" due to the massive spike in alcohol consumption.

Alcohol consumption is going way off in America. People are talking about having Corona babies. They're going to be Corona livers in about three or four months.

Data from the pandemic era did show a significant increase in alcohol-related liver disease and deaths starting in 2020.

Mike Francesa is making his content less accessible to the few people still listening

My friend says it was like hey, you know, what's a good idea to make sure that my content is even less accessible to the people? ... It's the MLB model. Yes. If he was smart, he would just start his own Twitter account for his own show. But I guess he's sunk a lot of production costs into doing the mics on app.

Francesa eventually left WFAN again and his app-centric model didn't significantly revitalize his reach compared to his peak terrestrial radio years.

Robert Kraft's mask donation should be treated as a good deed regardless of his politics

I just feel like we're at the point in time where it's like any good deed that can help the greater cause here, let's just let it be a good deed. What's especially egregious considering that he could go right down the street to Chris Sale and be like, 'Hey Chris, can you cut up some more MLB jerseys to Masks?'

This is a subjective moral/ethical opinion on public discourse.

Sports won't have fans in attendance for at least a year

I'm convinced we're not gonna have fans for a year. So the no fans ship has really sailed. Just give me a camera with a ball on the screen moving back and forth.

Major sports operated with zero or very limited capacity fans for approximately a full year (until Spring 2021).

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.
