Luka Doncic is out of shape

Luca's smiling on the bench after the first time out. That's probably because he is sitting and it's, it's, it's nice to set like painful for him to, to stand. 'cause he is so outta shape. He did look kind of big and pale in that Lakers yellow, didn't he?

Luka's conditioning is a perennial topic of debate, but he remains an elite performer regardless of physical appearance.

The Lakers are Austin Reaves' team, not Luka's or LeBron's

I'll tell you what, I think it might be Austin Reaves team. Mm.

The Lakers are clearly built around LeBron and now Luka; Reaves is a core piece but not the 'team owner' in any realistic sense.

Luka Doncic doesn't have the same drive as Shaquille O'Neal

But in defense of us, mark Luca is, he doesn't, he doesn't want it enough. Like a guy like Shaq. Right?

This is a satirical comparison used to mock Luka's critics.

Jalen Hurts is better than Patrick Mahomes

I actually, like Max and Rowan were onto something with the Jalen Hertz thing. What he might be, he think he is just better than Mahomes. Their head-to-head matchups. And I like it. Hank Hertz has has dominated them. If you'd only watch the two Super Bowls that the, that Jalen Hertz and Patrick Mahomes played against each other. Jalen Hertz clears 'em by a million.

Mahomes has three Super Bowl MVPs and two league MVPs; Hurts is elite but most objective metrics favor Mahomes for his career body of work.

Patrick Mahomes will only return to one or two more Super Bowls in his career

It's NFL is hard. It's hard to stay healthy. It's hard to get back. You, we've talked to all these, but they quarterbacks and pros where it's like, you know, it's a constant error. I'm on the show. You never know. Probably one or two.

Mahomes has already reached 5 Super Bowls by age 29. Predicting only 1-2 more is a low ceiling for a player of his caliber.

Drake Maye will win a Super Bowl before Patrick Mahomes wins another one

Who wins the Super Bowl first? Drake Maye. Okay.

Drake Maye is on a rebuilding Patriots team while Mahomes is in his prime on a perennial contender.

Carson Wentz is the Eagles' secret good luck charm

Do you think Max, is there anything to be said that Carson Wentz is your good luck charm? Because the Eagles have two Super Bowls when Carson Wentz is on the sidelines. You're undefeated in Super Bowls when Carson Wentz is, is a backup somewhere.

Wentz was the starter/backup in 2017 (Super Bowl LII) and the backup in 2024 (Super Bowl LIX). The claim is factually true.

Jalen Hurts is currently the best quarterback in the NFL

Realistically, where do you rank Jalen Hurtz as quarterbacks in the NFL Right now? Right now one.

While Hurts had an incredible 2024 season, Mahomes and Allen generally lead most statistical and expert rankings.

NBA broadcasts will soon allow fans to toggle sports betting information on or off

I think we're not that far away where you're just gonna go click. And if you don't want any information about sports betting, you won't have to look at it. On the other hand, if you're someone in a state where it's illegal and you can get, get a bet on sports, you'll see a lot more information if that's what you want.

Streaming platforms like Prime Video and various RSN apps are already testing these interactive overlays.

The 2024 season was my best individual year as a pro

I think I had a great year. I think I had my best year as a pro. I'm excited for, I think there's another level that I can hit.

Burrow's stats were elite in 2024, but whether it was better than his 2021 Super Bowl run year is a matter of debate.

It takes two years for a wrist ligament injury to return to full mobility

Whenever you have a ligament injury, your joint is gonna take around two years to get all the mobility back and everything that you feel like you need.

This aligns with medical recovery timelines for complex ligament surgeries.

Most running quarterbacks excel in the preseason because defenses aren't game-planned

A lot of running quarterbacks excel in the preseason I would say. Because you're not game planning the opposing team. Your coaches aren't game planning their defense and you're just running out and running your training camp plays.

General NFL consensus supports the idea that athleticism can dominate un-gameplanned vanilla defenses in August.

I would convert my salary to a signing bonus to help the Bengals keep players

Most of the guys just convert it to to signing bonus. I would do that.

The outcome depends on future contract negotiations between Burrow's camp and the Bengals front office.

I am officially going to learn how to dunk a basketball

I have a announcement for you guys. Ready for this? I think I'm gonna dunk. I think I'm gonna dunk. I've never dunked, but I think I'm gonna train in dunk.

Dunking at 40 with no prior history of dunking is extremely difficult. We'll have to see if he follows through with the training and a video attempt.

Big Cat would have to lose a significant amount of weight to ever dunk

I hope you could too. You would have to lose a lot of weight. I know you're not going, you're don't. I would, don't put a time.

Vertical leap is highly dependent on power-to-weight ratio; Hank's assessment is biologically sound.
