The Warriors are back

The warriors are back. I'd say that's the lead story. The warriors are back. Maybe not for long because I just placed a future on them, but the warriors are back.

The NBA MVP is a regular season award that shouldn't be judged by playoff success

The MVP is a regular season award. How many times do you think in the last 20 years the MVP in the NBA has won the title? It's happened four times... My long point here is I'm not taking away from the Nuggets or Jokic... you can win an MVP, which he probably will is back-to-back MVP, and that doesn't mean that you have the best team, because that's just not what the award is.

The Nuggets will be title contenders next season once Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are healthy

The team when they're healthy, I think is still a legitimate title contender. So they're obviously missing Jamal Murray. They're missing Porter... I think next seasons nuggets, the day that the NBA finals are over, I'm going to put a big future on next year's nuggets.

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.

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.
