    What does passing for 4,000 yards really mean?

    Jon Bois, one of the excellent minds at Secret Base, joins Ryan Nanni to talk about a very particular NFL statistical quirk. Namely: the Chicago Bears are the only franchise to never have a quarterback throw for 4,000 yards. Why is this milestone appealing? What does it actually mean to break through it? Which passers have kept other teams from joining the Bears on this list? And why should Raiders fans get free NFL Sunday Ticket next season? You can sign up for the Secret Base Patreon right here!

    Should the NBA shorten its regular season?

    Since the 1967-68 season, the NBA has assigned 82 games to each of its teams. But basketball, the league's geography, television, and the physical qualities of the players have changed drastically since then, leading some notable players and coaches to push for the league to shorten the regular season. Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni discuss the cases in favor of that move, consider the counterarguments, and briefly brush up against the Billy Joel vs. Garth Brooks argument. Research on this episode was conducted by Ryan Fortune. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.

    70,000 Indiana Fans (and Ryan) Attend Their First Rose Bowl (PREVIEW)

    Phantom Island is not a travel show, but Ryan Nanni decided to go to this year's Rose Bowl, which happened to be Indiana's first trip to Pasadena since 1968, and that felt like a good thing to discuss with Steven Godfrey. This conversation covers the value of the Rose Bowl Game vs. the Rose Bowl as a home stadium, the joy of being physically present for sports, and whether whatever comes next will or should impact the moment Indiana fans felt on New Year's Day.

    What's to be done about the Group of Five and the CFB Playoff?

    The inclusion of Tulane and James Madison in the 2025 College Football Playoff set off a wave of anti-G5 backlash that only got worse once both teams lost in the first round by multiple scores. Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni chatted with Rodger Sherman about what's driving that frustration, what makes these G5 teams different than their predecessors, and some possible changes that could make everyone happier. (Though never truly happy, of course.) Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
