Dak Prescott's new contract is the best deal ever signed for a player

It's actually, like, maybe the best contract that's ever been signed [for a player]... $126 million out of the $160 million is guaranteed. And it's four years.

The contract was widely praised for its structure, effectively allowing Dak to hit free agency again quickly.

Dak Prescott is an MVP-caliber player because the Cowboys stunk without him

You could make the argument that Dak is an MVP guy because you saw what happened when he went out last year. And the team just stunk. Andy Dalton is probably an average backup. So Dak goes out, Andy comes in, the team just goes to absolute shit.

Dak has historically performed at an MVP-level pace (like early 2020), but the team's record with and without him is a common debate point.

Dak Prescott is the best quarterback in the NFC East

As a Washington football team fan, I'm not super excited because he's definitely the best quarterback in the division. There I said it. I know that's controversial.

In 2021, the other starters were Daniel Jones, Jalen Hurts, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Dak was the consensus best.

I would rather have Dak Prescott's 4-year deal than Patrick Mahomes' 10-year deal

I'd rather have Dak Prescott's deal than Patrick Mahomes... [Dak] if he's good for these next four years, can get paid a ton of money again when the salary cap goes back up... He basically is giving himself another shot at it.

This is a financial theory that has played out; Mahomes' deal eventually became a bargain for the Chiefs, requiring adjustments.

Conference Championship Week is often better than the actual NCAA Tournament

I think Conference Championship Week oftentimes is better than the actual tournament. I like the tournament more because it's just everything about it, but there are more games on Thursday and Friday at Conference Tournament Week than there are in the tournament.

This is a common sentiment among college basketball diehards due to the sheer volume of games.

Cocaine Bear is already a 'must-see' movie

Elizabeth Banks is to direct a bear-centric thriller, Cocaine Bear, for Universal... Just a movie, a must-see. I'm already slapping a must-see on it.

The movie was released in 2023 and became a cult hit, validating Hank's interest.

The NFL return of Kyle Long is a bad look for the Chicago Bears

Kyle Long will be returning to the NFL. Not to the Bears. But that's why they're on the hot seat, because he doesn't want to go back to them. I don't think it's a good or bad look. I think it's just the Bears.

Long signed with the Chiefs, not the Bears. He had previously been vocal about his issues with the Bears' coaching/management.

Tom Wilson would have been suspended for a full year if he had hit Connor McDavid

If Tom Wilson would have done what he did to Connor McDavid, he probably would have got a full year sussy. I think it's getting to the place where they've got to really protect those guys.

While the NHL protects stars, a one-year suspension for an on-ice hit (even a dirty one) is unprecedented in the modern era.

The Buffalo Sabres are a 'broken organization' that needs to get worse to get better

It's just one of those organizations right now that seem a little bit cursed, and I would imagine that it's going to have to get a lot worse before it even gets better... They're a broken organization.

The Sabres finished last in the league in 2021 and eventually traded Eichel, essentially restarting a rebuild.

The NHL should adopt the 2-game baseball-style series format permanently

I 100% think they should adapt it, especially within teams of your own division... Why couldn't we just have banged out a back-to-back in Edmonton, saved ourselves the cost of fuel... I think they are going to adapt it moving forward.

The NHL returned to its traditional scheduling format after the 2021 season, though some teams still play back-to-backs in the same city occasionally.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will win the Stanley Cup this year

I truly believe with the pickups that they made and adding Joe Thornton's experience to maybe calm the young guys down... yes, I think that they're going to win the Stanley Cup.

The Maple Leafs lost in the first round of the 2021 playoffs to the Canadiens after leading the series 3-1.

The Arizona Coyotes will secure the 4th playoff spot in the West Division

I think the Yotes are going to get that fourth spot in the West. So, you know, who knows? Maybe they can knock off the big boys.

The Coyotes finished 5th in the West, 9 points behind the Blues for the final spot.
