Recap
Big CatWe are currently in the worst three weeks of the sports calendar
I believe that we are in the worst three weeks of the sports calendar. ... It's these two to three weeks where we haven't gotten to March Madness. Because then once we get to March Madness, then it's Masters, then it's NBA and NHL playoffs. ... I think these are the worst two to three weeks of the entire year. Right now.
Big CatLeBron James ruined the All-Star OGs picture
LeBron is wearing street clothes and he's standing in the middle [of the All-Star OGs picture]. ... It's the definition of stop trying to fit out and start trying to fit in. ... He ruined the picture. He really did.
HankThe NBA internally tried to send Luka Doncic to the Lakers to stop LeBron James from starting a rival league
What if the NBA forced Luka [Doncic] to the Lakers to basically like forced LeBron to stay? Because the Luka thing still doesn't make any sense. ... LeBron is clearly like doing something, like something's going on where he is protesting... and maybe the NBA knew about this internally and they tried to send Luka to LA to somehow stop LeBron from doing what he's trying to do.

PFT CommenterCaitlin Clark is paid what she is worth right now because she hasn't won a championship
I think that she's paid what she's worth right now. She gotta win the big one. ... She's never won a college national championship. Never won a WNBA national championship. ... Talk to me when she's got a chip. When she gets that ring.
Big CatThe era of working from home is over
Working from home's done. I'm gonna say he's right. ... I fundamentally, I understand working from home is awesome for a lot of people, but I do think that you lose... the younger generation is gonna lose out. ... Not working with other people and having the coalescence of ideas... you will lose out.

Paul BissonnetteAlexander Ovechkin is not on the Mount Rushmore of hockey
I don't think that anybody would have him in the Mount Rushmore of hockey. ... Once he passes Gretzky for goals, I would say he's probably yes, gonna be coming in around like sixth or seventh all time. I think still a lot of people put Stevie Y ahead of him.
Paul BissonnetteConnor Hellebuyck is unproven in elimination games
Hellebuyck has been on this incredible run... not so much in playoffs or in big money games. ... In an elimination situation when all the chips are on the table, he is unproven.
