Conference realignment is the least appealing part of college football

The conference realignment discussion that we have—and it seems like it's every offseason—it's like the least appealing part of college football to me. I love it, and at it's a bummer, at the end of the day we're gonna watch the games, but it is gonna leave some people out.

The PAC-12 effectively dissolved after this episode, with most teams joining the Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC.

Baseball should allow mutual combat fighting like hockey

I like seeing guys square up. This needs to happen in baseball. It was awesome. It should be like in hockey, it should be like in lacrosse—if two guys engage in mutual combat, I love the umpires stepping back... let the boys swing.

This is a subjective opinion on how sports rules should be changed.

Expected goals is the biggest crock of shit stat in sports

I'm a big expected goals guy. You know the expected goals account that tweets out... how many goals you should have scored... that is maybe the biggest crock of shit stat in sports. It's like, well based on how you guys really played, you won two to nothing.

Philadelphia fans giving Trea Turner a standing ovation is strategic and genius

Philly being the big sports town that they are... rallied together and said instead of booing [Trea Turner], we're going to give him a standing ovation every time he gets to the plate... all of our boos are strategic... that's just like us being a very smart sports town and knowing that.

Trea Turner did significantly improve following the ovation, leading the Phillies to a deep playoff run.

I could beat up Amanda Serrano in a boxing match

I said the one thing [Amanda Serrano] might have me on is cardio, but if I could... I'd keep her at bay with my jab. She would never get inside me.

Serrano is a multi-division world champion; Hank is a podcaster with 0.1 miles of treadmill cardio experience. He would get destroyed.

Anyone who wears glasses is a dork

Glasses can look cool, but if you said to anyone, would you rather wear glasses or not? Everyone's picking not. Take four eyes, dude, you're a dork. Like that's just a fact. You're a dork.

Jalen Phillips will be one of the top pass rushers in the NFL

I think Jalen Phillips for the Miami Dolphins is a really good pass rusher. It's just a matter of time before he blows up. He has all the tools... I think over time he'd become one of the top pass rushers in the league.

Phillips has been productive but suffered a major Achilles injury in late 2023, stalling his ascension to the absolute elite tier.

Buffalo is my last stop in the NFL

If I leave the Buffalo Bills, I'm done. If Brandon Beane trades me, I'm done. Wherever I get to, I'm done. I'm wrapping them up. This is my last stop... I love this place.

Miller remains on the Bills as of early 2024, but his career is ongoing.

Blow jobs are stressful and awkward

I find them to be—it's a lot of pressure. What am I supposed to say? I just feel like it's really a lot of pressure on me... then I just feel like I'm supposed to be making noises or something... if I had to sum up blow jobs in one word, I would say stressful.
