    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.

    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.

    Who benefits and suffers under college hockey's new eligibility framework?

    For players in the US and Canada, the road to the NHL used to be divided into two primary paths: play in the Canadian Hockey League or for an NCAA men's hockey team. But thanks to recent rule changes, CHL players can now jump to college hockey. Ryan Nanni walks Steven Godfrey through what that means for both groups, the impact on college rosters, the other leagues that stand to lose out in this new arrangement, and how this change is prying open the door, at least a little, for some former professionals to get NCAA eligibility. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
