The Steelers will trade Antonio Brown

I think he's going to get traded. I think the craziest part of the story was you've got to really fuck up to get benched, to be the best player on your team and get benched during a game or for a game that would get you into the playoffs.

Antonio Brown was traded to the Oakland Raiders in March 2019.

Jason Garrett is the dumbest person alive for playing his starters in Week 17

Jason Garrett wins the Are You the Dumbest Person Alive Award for playing all his starters because he desperately – now, I don't know what you think, but I think it was clear that Jason Garrett wanted to win 10 games so that when Jerry Jones goes to his office next year and is like, hey, I'm thinking about firing you, he's like, but I won 10 games.

The Cowboys beat the Giants 36-35, and while they didn't suffer a catastrophic injury to a star in that specific game, the logic of risking players for a round number in wins is a common point of debate.

The rest of the AFC North should be terrified of the Browns in 2019

By the way, if I'm in the AFC North next year, I'm terrified [of the] Browns. That's the big thing. I don't care who their coach is as long as his name isn't Hue [Jackson].

The 2019 Browns were a major disappointment, finishing 6-10 despite the hype, leading to Freddie Kitchens being fired after one season.

Mike McCarthy will be the next head coach of the Cleveland Browns

It's going to be Mike McCarthy. Yeah. He's interviewing them, I think, tomorrow. Oh, and he's got it. Yeah. It's just a formality.

Freddie Kitchens was hired as the Browns head coach for 2019; McCarthy did not take a coaching job that year.

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.
