Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

Jon Scheyer might be on the hot seat after another tournament failure

Jon Scheyer might be on the hot seat. I don't know how you don't call a timeout. It's the time. I don't know how you don't like, that's like day, literally day one of camp is like, all right, let's run some, some out of bounds end of game situations.

Whether he is actually on the hot seat is a matter of athletic department perspective, but the take reflects the fan sentiment.

I am not a fan of the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system in baseball

I'm not a fan... I just don't understand why you even have umpires in the first place if you're gonna do the ABS thing. There's gonna be so many more [reviews] in baseball.

The take is a personal preference.

Tom Brady could still throw for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in the NFL right now

Tom Brady... It's football. They had the flag football event this past weekend. Tom Brady played in it. I mean, he could go out next year in the league and probably get 4,000 yards, 30 touchdowns.

Brady is 48 and retired; the likelihood of him returning and putting up elite stats is nearly zero.

Aaron Judge is an absolute choke artist who delivered nothing for Team USA

I am rooting for the Dominican Republic over Team USA in the WBC because they are more electric

The Dominican team is electric and I like to be entertained when I'm watching sports. This tournament's for entertainment. I want to watch more games with the Dominican Republic team. I want more. I'm rooting for the USA correctly, but I respect the hell out of the Dominican team.

This is a subjective rooting interest.

I need to get into a car accident that totals my car so I have an excuse to buy a new one

I need to get in an accident that totals this car so that I have no choice but to get a new car. I want to get a sick car. That way I don't even have a choice.

This is Hank expressing a desire to total his car for an excuse to buy a new one, not a verifiable prediction.

The altitude on airplanes causes people to cry during movies

I was tearing up [at the F1 movie]. It's the altitude. The altitude. I didn't even like the movie that much, but the end got me and they like, oh, it's 'cause you were on a plane. That's a thing.

There is scientific evidence suggesting that low air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes can affect mood and emotional regulation.

Shohei Ohtani was just playing against electricians in the World Baseball Classic

If you're talking about Shohei, you can literally say he was just playing against electricians. He got shut out by an electrician.

While technically true that some players on smaller nations' teams had day jobs (like the Czech electrician), it is an absurd reduction of the tournament's overall talent level.

The Celtics are completely back with Jayson Tatum returning to form

He looks so good. The Celtics looks so good. They're, they're so back. Missoula is such a good coach. And he's not forcing it and like trying to take over. 'cause when your team's already second on the east, you don't need to come back and be a superstar.

Tatum's return to form was real at the time of this take. Whether the Celtics are 'completely back' depends on their 2026 playoff run.

John Rahm's win in Hong Kong wasn't a coincidence after rumors he was unhappy

John Rahm won the individual event. First time winning on Liv. It's huge. Huge for him. Definitely not a coincidence. No, he did not say he chose to stay on Liv, but he won. It sounds like they're keeping him happy.

Fanatics and Nike failed American fans by not producing enough USA hockey jerseys after the gold medal win

My Hot Seat: Fanatics and Nike... They thought that Canada was gonna win the gold, so they just did not make enough USA jerseys. And so by the time USA won the gold, they were already sold out. It's disgusting. Drop the ball.

The inventory levels are fact-verifiable; if they were sold out immediately, the claim is correct.

Winter Olympic viewership would skyrocket if downhill skiing was head-to-head instead of a time trial

The Winter Olympics suck because the, there are very few head-to-head sports. Everything is a time trial... If you had downhill skiing with eight people lined up, it would be one of the top events. Similarly, if you had sprinting or swimming in the summer as time trials instead of head-to-head, no one would watch.

Sam Darnold is a top five quarterback in the NFL

Sam Darnold. Good guy. Elite quarterback elite. Elite, elite. Top five. [Big Cat: Gimme your top five.] Drake Maye. Sam Darnold. Josh Allen, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels.

The Tigers bringing back Justin Verlander is PR 101 to distract from their arbitration loss

Speaking of PR 101, this feels like PR 101 from the Tigers who have signed Justin Verlander... I feel like after it's like, hey, we didn't like the... arbitration. They were like, 'oh, our fans hate us. Let's bring back Verlander.'

The Tigers signed Verlander shortly after losing a high-profile arbitration case, fitting the PR pattern Hank describes.

The Patriots would have won Super Bowl 60 if the Cooper Kupp bobble had been challenged and overturned.

I don't know why they didn't challenge that in real time. That was like, that's a bobble. And then it was clearly was a bobble. If he didn't, if they didn't, if they reviewed it and it gets overturned, they didn't even get a field goal... I think we win. [Sliding doors effect].

The Patriots lost 29-13; it is highly unlikely one overturned catch in the first half changes a three-possession game.

The Celtics' trade for Nikola Vucevic is a clear sign that Jayson Tatum will be returning to the lineup soon.

I like this trade... Well V[ucevic]—it also means Jayson Tatum's coming back... because if Tatum comes back, those are minutes like Simmons has been playing, but if T comes back, those minutes are gone.

Hank predicted the Celtics' Vucevic trade (completed Feb 3, 2026) was a 'clear sign' Jayson Tatum would be returning to the lineup soon. As of March 3, 2026, Tatum has still not played a single game this season following his Achilles rupture, and has publicly said he hasn't decided whether he'll return at all this year. The resolves_by date of Feb 28 has passed with no Tatum return.

He missed a couple throws. He'll be fine. He's a young buck. All the fake doctors on Twitter are making stuff up, but I'm not concerned about his shoulder. They act like they're in the know. They're just watching the same football that we are.

Hank dismissed the shoulder concern but Maye received a painkilling injection before the SB and his play suffered. The concern was legitimate.

Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels have been here before. They know what it takes and what they have to do in the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.

Drake May did win his conference championship in Jan 2026. This take is inherently subjective/troll-based in how it frames the comparison.

I also think Rams or Bears are getting smoked by the Seahawks. [Watching them on Saturday night], the thought definitely crossed my mind as like, I don't know how the Bears [or Rams] could potentially do anything against the Seahawks defense in Seattle.
