Three-loss teams should not be allowed in the 12-team College Football Playoff

The only shitty thing that could happen, and there should be a rule against this, is you should not be allowed in the 12-team playoff if you have three losses... I feel like you need to take an undefeated team that's maybe in a Group of Five conference and put them in instead of a Power Four team with three losses.

No such rule was implemented; multiple three-loss teams were considered for the 2024 playoff.

Bronny James will play two minutes and have one turnover in his NBA debut

I think [Bronny James] bad. Two minutes, one turnover.

In his debut, Bronny played 3 minutes and had 0 points, 1 rebound, and 0 turnovers. Big Cat was very close on minutes but slightly off on the turnover.

I'm putting a bounty on anyone who dunks on Bronny James in an NBA game

I'm gonna put a bounty out there. If you can dunk on Bronny, then I will... you get a, an open spot on Pardon My Take and I will say you can join the show as a guest to discuss the dunk. Okay. And I will send you a Pardon My Cheesesteak... with all the fixings.

This is an offer/bounty rather than a prediction. No player publicly claimed this specific PMT bounty during the season.

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.
