The Seahawks should keep Russell Wilson and fire Pete Carroll if forced to choose

I would rather keep Russell Wilson than Pete Carroll if I was in charge of the Seahawks. If Russell Wilson went to the Seahawks' ownership and was like, hey, it's me or Pete, they would absolutely fire Pete in a second.

The Seahawks ultimately kept Carroll and traded Wilson to the Broncos a year later in 2022, suggesting the front office disagreed with PFT's valuation.

Michigan is the best college basketball team in the country

I think Michigan should be number one. They're the best team in the country. What they've done has been insanely impressive... They are just killing people.

Michigan earned a #1 seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament and reached the Elite Eight, but Baylor and Gonzaga were generally considered the superior teams by the end of the season.

Hunter Dickinson is the best player in college basketball

I think Hunter Dickinson is the best player in the entire country. I'm only saying that because he's an AWL.

Dickinson was a Second Team All-American that year, but Luka Garza was the consensus National Player of the Year.

JJ Watt should sign with Cleveland or Buffalo to achieve legendary status

Cleveland does, you know, we discussed it when he became a free agent. Like, that is the... franchise you can go to that will embrace him... If you're the final piece to bring a Super Bowl to [Cleveland or Buffalo], it's a totally different level than signing with the Titans or with the Packers.

Watt signed with the Arizona Cardinals on March 1, 2021, the same day this episode was released.

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.
