The NFL is better when the Patriots are losing

I'm sorry to get right into it about the Patriots, but I do wanna say the NFL is better when the Patriots are losing. I'm not kidding. Think about this season and how exciting it's been. How many ups and downs... when the Patriots aren't in play, it's just more fun. It's wide open.

The 2023 season did see significant parity and the rise of new teams like the Texans and Lions while the Patriots struggled.

Mike McDaniel will become annoying if the Dolphins don't win soon

Is Coach McDaniel annoying? [Big Cat: Not annoying.] If they don't win next year. Yes. Annoying. Umm. You don't think the, the, the pants, the, the, the Kop pants are like a little... the sunglasses all the time is a little bit much for me.

Taylor Swift should have dated someone on the Panthers to learn that life isn't that easy

I don't wanna say anything negative about Taylor Swift, but that that just, it it, it's unfair that Taylor Swift was basically introduced to the NFL this year. And she's already in the Super Bowl... she should have dated someone on like the Panthers. Yeah. Go to Bank of America Stadium Week 16. That's a fact. I wanna see David Tepper pouring a drink on her.

Hyperbolic joke about fandom and struggle.

The Jim Harbaugh hiring won't make the Chargers winners for years

None of the Chargers. AFC West, Harbaugh. I just don't see it happening. It's like, it's like buying a dilapidated Victorian home. It's like not gonna be inhabitable for years.

Harbaugh's first season with the Chargers is still in progress (2024 season). Outcomes are pending.

The 49ers are the most boring team in the NFL

Why do the 49ers bore me? So why are they so boring? That no sense... it's just like, what do you want like 20 points from all your player starters every week? Is that what you want? I don't know. I'm so bored... there's a boredom that happens with the 49ers.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

I completely bombed my stand-up comedy set

It was just, it was all downhill. I knew it was bad. My dad texted me after he just said, 'you okay'. I was, I was like, I'm, I was like, I'm fine... but even if I prepped a year, you can't, you can't teach public speaking.

The Larry the Goldfish tattoo looks bad because I used a frozen dead corpse as the reference

I never told you guys. 'cause I knew I would've never heard the end of it... [The tattoo artist] asked for a reference picture. And I was like, whoa, I can get a reference picture. He's in the freezer so let me go take a picture... he had already done the full dead tattoo on my body where I was like, oh my God, this is a dead goldfish. I could've just Googled goldfish and it wouldn't have mattered.

Confirmed by Hank's own admission of his past actions.

MetLife Stadium is cursed

My Hot Seat is MetLife Stadium. It was recently announced that the very cursed stadium in the NFL world will be hosting the 2026 World Cup final... however, I believe they're switching it to grass. Correct? They are. But it's still cursed.

MetLife continues to have a reputation for turf-related injuries, including Aaron Rodgers' Achilles tear in 2023.

Drake leaked his own explicit video as a flex

Drake international superstar. He was jacking off and the video came out. I actually think my conspiracy theory brain tells me that Drake leaked this himself because it's a good angle... he's got a big dick and he's got a big dick. Yeah. So if anything it like my respect for Drake increased today.

Unverifiable conspiracy theory.

Mike Vrabel is too physically intimidating to get a head coaching job

She [Diana Russini] said that she had a GM at the Senior Bowl who mentioned to me Vrabel's physical build, that he's a very large human being and can be very intimidating to people in an organization... If you're a football owner, large human beings, you don't wanna be around them. You want a nerd. You want a tiny little nerd.

Vrabel did not receive a head coaching job in the 2024 cycle, which partially validates the idea that something about his profile (perhaps his personality/intimidation) kept owners away.

Andy Reid will never retire because he has no hobbies except football and cheeseburgers

Andy Reid, who is not gonna retire. This is all he does. I'm trying to get Andy to play golf. I'm trying to get him to go hunting. He just won't do it. Andy Reid also has a bucket list... it's just eating in different countries. My prediction, they win the Super Bowl, he probably goes to France. Eats his way through France.

Andy Reid did not retire after winning Super Bowl LVIII and returned for the 2024 season.

I am intensely attracted to Tiffany Gomas

I have such an intense attraction to Tiffany Gomas. It is, it's actually, I am, I'm obsessed with her... I follow her on Instagram. I even like leave comments like 'looking good girl'... I think the thing I'm most attracted to is that there's a real, a mental issue there... I'm really attracted to her.

Personal preference/attraction.

Patrick Mahomes is already in the GOAT discussion with Montana and Brady

He's already in that discussion... he's this ages Brady, or this generation, or this decades, Brady, Montana... He's already there because the potential is he 28 years old? I still think of him as 22 and 23... He gets it. Fascinating to me.

Mahomes won his 3rd Super Bowl just days after this interview, further cementing this claim.

Taylor Swift is absolutely good for football

Absolutely. And I'll tell you why... I think she's legitimate. I'm in my mid thirties. I'm cheering on my guy and I'm having fun at the game... anything that makes somebody a pro football fan from nothing can't be all bad.

The NFL saw record ratings for Super Bowl LVIII and increased viewership among women.

Josh Allen would have a Super Bowl appearance by now if he played in the NFC

If Josh Allen was in the NFC, he'd probably have been in his Super Bowl by now. I would think so. [Big Cat: And the 49ers are. Yeah. They had one year.]... the AFC, the best quarterbacks in football. Well aren't they all there?

Purely hypothetical but widely accepted due to the depth of AFC quarterbacks.

The Chiefs will beat the 49ers 22-18 in Super Bowl LVIII

I think the Chiefs repeat. 23-20. [Big Cat: No, let's fix that.]... So 22-18. You get to 18, I mean, there's six... you could kick a lot of field goal. 22-18. The Chiefs, I have them winning. I'd like to see a repeat champ and I just hope people recognize what they're watching.

The Chiefs won 25-22. Berman was correct on the winner but wrong on the specific score.
