HankAmateur kid mentalists are scarier than the professional ones
There was just a kid at summer camp... last year too showed up was a high school kid and was literally guessing my pin number for my ATM account. If you can do that and other people can do that, that's almost scarier. Like they're just living among us.
HankThe Patriots are built for a long-term fight for the future
I'm excited going forward. Like I, I have never been, you know, I'm bought into this Patriots team. I'm excited for the future... knowing that there is the community of Patriots fans where it's like... going forward, we're, we're ready to fight. We're ready to keep fighting.
HankThe Tigers bringing back Justin Verlander is a PR move to distract from arbitration drama

HankThe 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].
HankThe Bad Bunny halftime show was so bad it ruined my interest in international football forever.
That halftime performance was so bad. I might have changed my stance on international football forever... It was horrible. I was watching it and I was like, this is, who is this for? This is America. This is a fucking Super Bowl.
HankThe Celtics trading Anfernee Simons for Nikola Vucevic is a sign that Jayson Tatum is returning
I like this trade. I was happy with this trade. Well V[ucevic]—it also means Jayson Tatum's coming back... because if Tatum comes back, those are minutes like Simons has been playing, but if [Tatum] comes back, those minutes are gone.
HankThe Jets are spreading fake rumors about Drake May because they are sad
People are making up Photoshops. They're trying to create false, false narratives. Jets fans are, are, are making up rumors that are not football related about Drake. It's nonsense. It's sad. It's absolute nonsense. It's rubbish.
HankHank dismisses Drake May's shoulder injury and calls Twitter doctors 'fake doctors'
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.
HankThe Patriots have a massive coaching edge in the Super Bowl because Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels have been there before
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. They know every single facet of Super Bowl preparation, they are gonna have the Patriots more prepared than the Seahawks will. That is what it ultimately comes down to.
HankThe Patriots will defeat the Seahawks 28-24 in Super Bowl 60
I was playing out a scenario... which quarterback would you rather be going up against? And it's Sam Darnold. I think it will be a close game. I will go, I don't know, 28, 24 Patriots.
HankThe NFL magnetized the goalposts to increase the number of 'doinks'
The goalposts are magnetized since the NFL put chips in the ball. Doinks are way up. I have zero data, but the timing is suspicious and the sound is too perfect.
HankThe Patriots can beat any defense with their current offense
I just think offenses are a strong suit. I think [the Patriots] can beat any defense and I'd rather be playing a team that is known for their really good defense than their really good offense.
HankDrake May's MVP case is strengthened by his lack of Pro Bowl offensive teammates
Every other MVP in the NFL history has played with another pro bowler. Okay. But he's, so if [Drake May] is able to put up those stats without another pro bowler, that makes his case that much more interesting. Zero Pro Bowl teammates on offense.
HankMatthew Stafford shouldn't win MVP because he has too many one-yard touchdowns
Matthew Stafford, MVP? He put together a hell of a season. So many one yard touchdowns. If that was the award, he should get it. This is 10 times over.

HankJalen Brown was snubbed from Eastern Conference Player of the Month
My who's back is Jalen Brown. He was snubbed from Eastern Conference Player of the Month for December. He was statistically better than Jalen Brunson. He was vocal about it. He should have been player of the month.

HankJosh McDaniels is a great offensive coordinator who will eventually get a third head coaching shot
I think Josh McDaniels, he needs more respect. I've been saying that he's, he is a great offensive coordinator and we definitely, we whiffed on Wednesday's show when we talk about retread head coaches... McDaniels is, he is that guy that got the second shot, he's gonna get another shot.

HankWind turbines should be banned from the ocean because they destroy ecosystems

HankTeams should only celebrate clinching the division, not the Wild Card or DS
Clinching the playoffs is absolutely celebration worthy... I think when you win the wild card division series, it's like, this should be business as usual. Like we are, we're here now to win a championship. Let's focus on that.
HankBen Simmons' career is over now that his agent has dropped him
My Hot Seat is Ben Simmons... He got dropped by his agent... if you're getting dropped, you're, you're, you must be bad, bad. You just not care. Yeah. At all. He just literally doesn't care even enough to like take a contract, bad sign. So he's just not, he's he's not represented currently.
HankStefon Diggs is too short and no longer a WR1
Stefan Diggs was nowhere to be found. He looks short. He just looked so small. He does not look like a wide receiver one. I don't know if it's the number change. I don't know if it's the uniforms.
HankKeegan Bradley not picking himself for the Ryder Cup is better for the team
Keegan wanted to pick himself, but he's taking, it's, it's, it was the right move, I guess to not pick himself for the team. It's better for the team and everyone can kind of rally around... you gotta win one for the captain.

It's better for us. It's better for everyone.
HankNumber 47 is a terrible number for a quarterback

HankLeBron James isn't focused on basketball because he's golfing too much
My Hot Seat is LeBron James. It's been the off season. You know, he, he's old. He, he probably should be taking more time to get ready and prepared and get his body ready... and he's just spent the whole summer golfing. He's just not locked in. He's not focused on the task at hand.
HankLondon should host a Super Bowl and it would be a cool event for the sport

HankShohei Ohtani cannot win MVP because of the constant controversies surrounding him
I mean it, you can't, if you're the MLB, you can't have Shohei Ohtani with all these controversies being the base of your league. The gambling one, yeah, maybe blame it on the interpreter. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice. We're about to give this guy his fourth MVP in five years. MLB writers really need to do like justice here because they are the keepers of the game.
HankThe Patriots will be the best team on this podcast
I think we're gonna be the best team on this podcast. I dunno if I've said that yet. [Better than] the Bucks, the Eagles and the Commanders.

HankThe walk-off catcher's interference rule is a stupid rule
I mean there's no, there's not much Hot Seat. It's just a stupid rule... Lost on walk off catcher's interference. Second time it's ever happened in MLB history. First time since 1971. The problem was the catcher just stuck it... It was technically letter of the law catcher's interference.
HankShedeur Sanders will lead the Cleveland Browns to a wild card spot and a playoff appearance
My preemptive Take of the Year. Shedeur Sanders. It's going to lead the Cleveland Browns to a wild card spot and make the playoffs. Maybe an injury. I think we did it with the NFL schedule release. I think after like week four he's not gonna start. Something's gonna happen. Maybe Flacco gets injured or steps in and leads him to glory.
HankJesus is the chillest bro of all time because he took a three-day nap
He's just the chillest guy of all time. Turn the other cheek. Try to, you know, bring world peace to the world. Dude, bro. Took a three day nap. How chill is that?
HankThe evidence of Malik Beasley gambling on his own games is absurdly obvious
The videos that came out after the investigation came out were very bad to say the least. I don't know if it's one of those things where if you could do this for any player... but the videos that came out were absurdly obvious that he was probably gambling on games.
HankThe Pacers-Thunder series is officially over for Indiana
I'm pretty sure... that was their game to lose. And they did. And now I feel like the series is over. Like, yeah, the Pacers have been winning the series and it's tied and... the Thunder know they're the better team and they can just step on their throat.
HankRed Sox ownership does not care about the fans or winning after the Devers trade
I've been out of the Red Sox ownership since they got rid of Mookie Betts... they don't care about the fans. They don't care about winning. Like they know the Red Sox ownership is selfish and they don't care about winning because they know that fans are gonna show up either way.
HankLosing this Finals series would be a 'sliding doors' moment that ruins the Thunder's future
This is it, it's kind of like the Knicks. It's like you're never gonna have a better shot than this year. If they lose this, it's a sliding doors moment. Your entire future will be miserable. And if you win this series, then you're gonna win four.
HankThe broomstick putter is superior for putting but makes the user look like a douche bag

HankThe New York Knicks will regret not going further in the 2025 playoffs

Anthony Edwards has been, people have been trying to put the face of this league on him... I don't think he can be the face of this league without getting to a finals.
HankLeBron James is a scumbag for opting into a $52 million contract instead of taking a team-friendly deal
[LeBron] opted in for $52 million. He's a billionaire. He might even be a piece of shit... he does not need, he's not even good enough for 52 million a year. He could have signed for 30... they could use the 20 million to actually make their team better. But he doesn't care about that because he's a selfish piece of shit.
HankThe New York Knicks were a better team than the Boston Celtics in their playoff series
The Nicks were the better team than the Celtics. They're... a better team than the Celtics. I'm not gonna argue that right now because I was wrong too. I thought the Knicks, I did not think the Knicks would be in the Eastern Conference final.
HankI'm leaning towards the Boston Celtics needing a rebuild
I trust Brad Stevens with my life, but I'm leaning towards rebuild ish. Probably. Someone needs to figure out how we can keep Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and still have good enough players around them to compete. It doesn't, not a tax guy at all. It doesn't look, I can't wrap my head around it yet.
HankThe show 'The Librarians: The Next Chapter' looks like the dumbest show of all time
The librarians, the next chapter. They're showing these commercials in all these games. It like it. I can't believe it's a real show that is being made. It looks like this is the best whose guy ever dumb this fucking show of all time.
HankLuke Cornett is currently a better option for the Celtics than Kristaps Porzingis
Luke Cornett, like, I actually think that whatever Kristaps has, Luke Cornett is a better option than Kristaps right now. And Joe Mazzulla obviously agrees 'cause the second half he sat Kristaps.
HankThe Celtics can still win the NBA Championship even without Jayson Tatum
We have a bunch of champions on this team. We still have the Eastern Conference finals MVP, we have the finals MVP we ready to go... I still think we could win the championship, but that's where I'm at is, is just make it as far along in the season as we can because once the off season comes, a lot of things are gonna change.
HankThe Celtics will defeat the Knicks in six games

Kawhi is is the Brooks Koepka of basketball. He, when, his peers will be like, he's the best. Like he can be the best. He can beat the best when he is on his a-game.

I have not given up on my conspiracy theory that LeBron is starting this separate league. Him basically admitting that he believes the NBA was rigged is further evidence of it.
HankStefon Diggs to the Patriots provides Drake May with mental reps on dealing with diva wide receivers
Even in the 10 minutes I had to process this, it's good, it's good reps for Drake May like, you know, you're a second year qb, you got a diva wide receiver. Like that's something every quarterback has to go through. He's going to get a PhD in dealing with a diva wide receiver.

HankThe NCAA selection committee accidentally swapped Memphis and Louisville
Memphis, I am choosing to believe this because it is crazy... people are saying that the committee, they accidentally swapped him.

HankA five-time Pro Bowl resume doesn't make Joey Bosa an all-time franchise great

HankTravis Hunter playing both ways is more impressive than Shohei Ohtani pitching and hitting
Travis Hunter at the combine said that him playing offense defense, it's harder than Shohei playing offense defense... Being a professional cornerback and a professional wide receiver at the same time playing in the same game... I think there's a better chance of another Shohei coming around than another Travis Hunter.
HankThe Celtics' loss to the Cavaliers was a 'statement loss' that will motivate them for the playoffs
A fully healthy Celtics team is not loose to the Cavs. It was an absolute ref show, but it was, it was. I mean it's good. It's, it's a, Mazzulla loves those games. He loves having things that he can use to motivate the team and and losing to a team that's gonna have a better record than them going into the playoffs like that. That's good. That was a good statement loss.

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.
HankJalen 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.
HankPatrick 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.

HankThe MLB must fire any umpire who shares a gambling account
The MLB had to fire a ref because he was umpire sharing — sorry, umpire.

HankTaylor Swift would never allow Travis Kelce to propose to her on the field after a Super Bowl.
I was just thinking he wouldn't actually, after I said it, I realized Taylor would never allow it to happen. But I was thinking of like confetti. No, I just that that thought of all that scene disgusted me, but I don't think, I think they would do it in a little more classy way.
HankThe Eagles have a better chance of beating the Chiefs than the Commanders do

I think they said they're, they're doing like a 90 day extension and then it might be banned again, but there's just no way that it ever gets banned.
HankThe Chiefs aren't as good as their 15-win record suggests
The Chiefs could lose this game [against the Texans]. They're not as good... They're not as good as their record says they are... if you stacked 'em up against the other teams that had similar records over the course of history, like they would be the worst one.
HankI'm back on the Patriots bandwagon because of the Mike Vrabel hire

HankMike Vrabel will be the next head coach of the Patriots
I do think it was a smart decision [to fire Jerod Mayo]. I also think that they wouldn't have done it as quickly as they did if they didn't know that they are getting the coach that they want. Which I believe is Mike Vrabel... I am of the belief that the answer to that question is yes.

HankThe rumored Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul boxing match will be a 'shitty money grab' that sucks
Conor McGregor tweeted that the rumors of about with Rio are false. I'm in preliminary agreements... to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India... It's probably gonna suck. I'm sick of it. This might be, so they fight someone who's actually like at the top of their game.

He left the Lakers a few days ago... there was, you know, internet rumors circulating that he was maybe getting arrested.

HankThe government used illegal tracking technology to find Luigi Mangione and then planted evidence to cover it up
The government has technology that's illegal to use to track and find someone like Luigi [Mangione]... which they used illegally to find him. And then planted all the evidence. The McDonald's worker, the written manifesto to cover their tracks about the fact that they illegally... surveyed people. The McDonald's worker was a plant and that's why they're not gonna get paid.
HankI will not be able to shoot 20 three-pointers in a row
I misinterpreted what the initial discussion was. I'm not gonna be able to shoot 20 threes in a row. That's it... 20 for 20, which is impossible. I think 20 for 25 is possible. Obviously that's not what we discussed.
HankNepotism in football coaching is more acceptable than in playing because you work up through ranks
Coaching is a lot different than playing... Football is like the most, basketball is different. There's not a lot of examples of nepotism drafts. There's a million examples of nepotism coaching... He [Steve Belichick] worked his way up the ranks as any head coach that's ever head coached in the history of coaching has.
HankArizona State will win the College Football Playoff because they are the hottest team

HankIf Lamar Jackson wins the Super Bowl this year, he begins to unseat Patrick Mahomes as the best QB in the league
If Lamar wins the Super Bowl this year, he'll begin to unseat Mahomes as the best QB in the league. Absolutely some merit [to that]. If Josh Allen wins the MVP in a Super Bowl, he's in that conversation too.
HankJuan Soto will sign with the Boston Red Sox

HankGerard Mayo is probably not the guy for the Patriots
Is Gerard Mayo the guy? Probably not. The defense is bad. He is a defensive coach. Why not get an offensive coach to work with our phenom quarterback [Drake Maye]?
HankThe Patriots are the team nobody wants to play in the AFC East
I think so. Usually the, you know, with the Patriots, it's like all the trends reversing the Dolphins have always been like the boogeyman even when the, when Brady was there and the Patriots are good. This is the trend weekend reverse in our favor.
HankThe Los Angeles Chargers are a sharp bet to win the Super Bowl at 45 to 1 odds
The original bet that we all put in together was, I don't think the Chargers are gonna win the Super Bowl, but they are at 45 to one insane odds. 'cause they're a playoff team and they could play, they could basically beat anyone in a one game elimination set.

HankJJ Watt's Hall of Fame candidacy is questionable because he lacks career sack volume
When JJ Watt retired people were having discussions about him being a first ballot hall of famer, which is absolute nonsense. What's, he's not even on the top 20 for career sacks. Meanwhile, Jared Allen is number 12 on that list and has still not gotten in. I'm honestly not sure if Watt should ever be a Hall of Famer.
HankThe Patriots have turned the corner in the Drake Maye era
I think the Patriots are good. Like I think they've turned the corner. The post-mutiny Drake Maye era feels different... Guys are excited. He's giving speeches, everyone's fired up.

I think so. This is like, this is the 'NFL makes no sense' game of maybe the year... NFL makes no sense. There's not like stats behind it. I am very close. But that, but it happens every year.

I feel like it's, I know the answer that it's a sign that I'm going through somewhat of a midlife crisis...

HankThe Eagles game is the Commanders' entire season — if they lose, the fraud label sticks
I think this game is your entire season, PFT. I think if they lose this game, it's their third playoff-caliber game that they've lost. And the season's over. You guys will officially be frauded because the teams you've beat are trash.

HankJerod Mayo might be one-and-done as the Patriots head coach
There was a rumor going around, I think... picking up a lot of steam. [That Jerod Mayo was going to be one and done]. I don't, I think that's unfair to coach Mayo to do this year, but I think it's probably smart to move on after the season.
HankI still believe I can dunk a basketball by January 1st.

HankA head coach cannot have a beard as long as Jeff Ulbrich's
I don't think you could have a beard that long as a head coach. I'm just saying in terms of if you're looking at a head coach, like if you're mocking up a head coach, when are you drawing in a massive beard? The beard just doesn't give head coach vibes.

HankShut Drake Maye down for the entire season to protect him
I hope not [seeing Drake Maye play]. Even in the one drive that he played, he got crushed. When we have an offensive line that can block for him. So not until next year and maybe the year after. Not shut him down, but I, I would not get like, I, I get more scared than excited if he goes in.
HankThe Patriots' offensive line is currently worse than the Bears'
[The Patriots] looked horrible. Their offensive line like looked worse than the Bears. [Jacoby Brissett] never had more than one second to throw. They missed a ton of tackles on defense.
HankThe Celtics are attacking the next title rather than defending the old one
Joe Mazzulla, Celtics coach, was doing an interview and they asked him about how he feels about defending the title and he basically just took down the term forever. He said the phrase 'defending a title' is a very passive-aggressive term. If you look at the animal kingdom, some of the strongest animals don't defend—they're the most aggressive and they attack the most. So we're attacking the title.
HankNikocado Avocado's two-year weight loss reveal was a genius strategy

HankThe worst case scenario for the Patriots this year is winning eight games
I think the worst case scenario for the Patriots this year is eight wins. It would be... that would be like, I'm going into the season, we're trying to, we gotta rebuild. If you're gonna rebuild, it starts with the draft. Eight wins wouldn't get us to the playoffs and won't get us a good draft position.
HankI am not spending 12 hours of my Saturday watching mediocre college football
I'm not locking in my entire 12 hours of a day on Saturday, the only day we're not in the office, to to watch a random ass week one game when there's only like three good ones...

HankThe Matthew Judon trade is a loss for the Bears because he chose the Falcons over them
The Patriots gave Matthew Judon the option of which team he wanted to go to. And he chose the Falcons. New England believing the Bears and Falcons were in similar category... gave linebacker Judon his choice of being dealt to Atlanta or Chicago. And then Breer said Judon obviously picked Atlanta.
HankThe Matthew Judon trade was the best outcome for both the Patriots and Judon
Matthew Judon, that happened the day after we recorded. He did get traded. I mean, he's a little bit older. He wasn't probably gonna resign. I think, but they realize it's probably best for both parties to trade them. So it was good. You know, everybody's happy.
HankMatt Kucher was actually taking a stand for faster play by refusing to finish on Sunday
I did see a golf journalist who had a thread breaking down why he might have been doing it... the group in front of 'em was playing super, super slow all day...

I'm an American first and foremost before anything else. So I, I was happy for our country. Yeah. I think Steve Kerr is a fucking idiot.

My preemptive take of the year is that Drake Maye in New England [Patriots] are going to have more combined wins than the Washington football team and Chicago Bears.
HankSteve Kerr is a piece of shit for not playing Jason Tatum
Steve Kerr is a piece of shit. That's, that's really what this all boils down to. Jason Tatum did have a better plus minus than Joel Embiid. So there's that.

Stick to sports. But he is a very good golfer. He did the video with Bryson [DeChambeau] and he, he was impressive... with like if you or I or PFT was playing with Bryson. It's doubtful that we would be have his... he shot two solo birdies and a solo eagle.
HankJoel Embiid believes the current LeBron James is not the same as the dominant version from years ago

The Nuggets are the scariest team in the West. You're right. Left in the playoffs period. Like the Nuggets just do not care. Like they're not worried about the pressure of game five or six or seven... thinking about the championship, if you were to do that, you'd rather play one of those younger, more inexperienced teams.

HankThe Celtics will beat the Hawks in five games
We'll get, we'll give 'em [the Hawks] one game just cuz it's the NBA. You never know what's gonna happen. Maybe they win a home game. Celtics in five. If it goes six something went seriously wrong.
HankThe Mac Jones and Bill Belichick feud is a media-driven narrative that won't result in a trade
Mac Jones is my quarterback. And this is a media driven narrative to try and create division within the most successful NFL franchise of the past 25 years... They also aren't going to trade him. The only person who reported that was Mike Florio, who's one of the greatest fiction of the 21st century.
HankAnthony Richardson is a better talent than Cam Newton was at the same age
Anthony Richardson is better than Cam Newton right now... When they were both this age, whatever age they were. Yeah... That SEC wasn't the same as today's SEC? No. It's much harder. It's much harder to win in today's SEC.
HankAsante Samuel is just bitter because the Patriots wouldn't pay him
He's bitter. He's bitter... He signed with the Eagles. And he was mad that he said the Patriots offered him half as much as like what he was should have been getting.
HankThe Philadelphia 76ers are currently in a complete free fall
My hot seat is the Philadelphia 76ERs. They're in a complete, complete free fall. Lost four outta the last five they played. Yoic. Everyone's talking about Embiid versus Yoic for mvp. MBI wasn't even man enough to play. James Harden also didn't play kind of a bullshit excuse like calf soreness.
HankThe Duke vs. UNC rivalry is officially dead without Coach K
One casual take I had watching the Duke UNC game was no, no, that rivalry is dead. Dead. Over. Coach K killed it. [He] shouldn't have retired.
HankUNC will win the ACC tournament and make the NCAA tournament
Carolina seems like they're not gonna make the tournament. They just seem like a team from a, from a casual point of view that somehow wins the ACC tournament and gets in. And they have experience. They've been on a run before.
HankNFL GMs should risk everything to draft Anthony Richardson at #1 overall
I dunno how you can be a GM and not risk everything to get him [Anthony Richardson]. Get him number one. Huh?

HankThe drama surrounding Brandon Miller will actually help his NBA draft stock

HankAnthony Richardson will be the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft
I'm all the way back in on Anthony Richardson... he also knows I love value... Anthony Richardson +10,000 or whatever, 100 to 1 to go number one... I'm reading all the articles, trying to just will him to somehow become the number one overall pick.

HankPatrick Mahomes will eventually catch Tom Brady in Super Bowl losses
People keep talking about Patrick Mahomes is gonna catch up to Brady. Right? That's the storyline. Well in my eyes he's going—the only thing that he's going to catch up to Brady on is Super Bowl losses. He would lose this one and would still need to lose another one. But if he did, then he would catch up to Tom Brady in losses.
HankThe Eagles will beat the 49ers by three touchdowns
I'm betting on the Eagles. The Eagles are gonna win this game by three touchdowns. Rock Purdy is gonna have a Joe Flacco rookie quarterback stat line. Stop the run, score early, make 'em throw, win.
HankNo rookie quarterback is going to win in the Linc against the number one seed Eagles
I just can't wrap my head around any world where a rookie quarterback goes in the Link and beats the number one seed Eagles. It's a philosophy. It's a life philosophy. It doesn't change year over year. Rookie quarterbacks in the playoffs, young quarterbacks are gonna struggle.
HankThe Philadelphia Eagles are the Super Bowl favorites
They're good team. Super Bowl favorites. If they don't win the Super Bowl, it's a huge letdown... they're my Super Bowl favorites.
HankIf the Eagles can pressure Brock Purdy, he will throw three interceptions
If the Eagles can put pressure on [Brock Purdy], make him throw, he's throwing three picks. I could feel it.
HankBrock Purdy will get exposed against the Cowboys
Brock Purdy's gonna go get exposed. I'm not a ball knower. I'll probably get more into the, the x's and nos on Thursday. But just make, make him throw deep... Brock Purdy's gonna get exposed this weekend. Throw five picks.
HankThe Cowboys are actually a good team despite everyone's hate
I have serious question... I have serious question. I put one future in for one team in the playoffs and it was not the Vikings. It's the Cowboys. They're going against Tom Brady, we'll see.
HankI can hit 8 out of 10 free throws easily

HankThe Cowboys win-loss pattern suggests they will win four in a row and become Super Bowl champions
Cowboys win loss pattern. They've lost the game one four in a row. Lost the game one, two in a row, lost the game, won four in a row, lost the game one, two in a row, they just lost to the commanders. ... that would imply that they're gonna win four in a row, which would make them Super Bowl champions.

HankThe Giants -5.5 is the easiest bet of the year because the Colts are the worst-coached team in the league
My favorite favorite is the Giants minus five and a half. So. Watching them Monday night. Easiest bet I had all year was the Chargers. They're, they're the worst coach team in the league. They're terrible. They can't score points, they can't do anything. The Giants are fighting for a playoff spot.
HankI would rather watch the playoffs fan-free than have the Patriots make it just to get smoked
Honestly, I know I have to watch these games anyway. I would rather just watch the playoffs completely fan free because I know it's get my hopes up and be like, oh, you know, I have to worry about and like, kind of put myself up for them winning. Even though if they won the first game, they're getting smoked the second game. They're probably getting smoked the first game.
HankThe Bengals will beat the Patriots because Matt Patricia is a demoralizing coordinator
This is entirely the Patriots. Our joke, there's season's over demoralized. Matt Patricia's still the offensive coordinator. ... So why not just fire him now? ... it literally cannot [get] worse.
HankThe Saints and Browns will go over the 32-point total despite historically bad weather
I'm going lowest to the low. Ground Saints 32. Deshaun Watson unders have been the easiest bet since he started three, three easy unders. He's due for an over. And weather doesn't matter.
HankThe Buccaneers will beat the Cowboys in the first round of the playoffs
If they play against the Cowboys, then yes, bet on the Bucs. They're gonna beat the Cowboys in the playoffs. It would be the perfect Mike McCarthy giant collapse.

My favorite favorite is the Philadelphia Eagles. Ooh. Against the Bears. Yeah. This gonna be a whomping. I think it's gonna be a Whomping. Their minus nine. But you know, they've proven themselves...

HankWeather is not real and the Bills vs. Dolphins game will go over the total

HankTom Brady is coming back to play for the Patriots next season
I'm kind of, I'm I'm back on Brady. You don't think the reason they left is cuz Giselle. He missed you the entire time. If Brady wants to come back, like that's, that's really all it is. Basically. They have the cap space to do it if they want to, which I'm sure they would. And I'm sure Tom wants to come back.
HankThe Patriots will beat the Vikings on Thanksgiving because Minnesota was looking ahead
I'm taking Patriots money line... I think this is gonna be a shootout. Two great teams. Vikings, Kirk Cousins elite. They're gonna have a bounce back game after, you know, got a little bit caught off guard. A little bit of a trap game knowing that they had this game coming up on Thanksgiving. Kind of a look ahead and I think Mac Jones gonna ball out again.
HankLeBron James is lying about when he started listening to Migos
LeBron today wore an outfit... a reporter asked him... he said 'I love Migos. I've been listening to them since I was in Miami in 2010.' The Migos didn't start putting music out until 2011 and they weren't really popular until 2013... just no reason to lie whatsoever.

HankThe Jaguars being 3-point favorites over the Giants is a trap line
Take the Jaguars minus three, the line makes no sense. Yep. Yep. Zero sense whatsoever. That's Vegas being like, take the Giants, they want you to take the giants, which means the jaguar's gonna win win handily. Don't fall for the trap. Take the jaguars.
HankDraymond Green glorified assaulting his teammate in his TNT mini-doc

This one I think is also pretty obvious, but might not be to the naked eye. It's Sean McDermott. He was a back to back national prep champion wrestler, like all time.

MLB homerun, Derby rigged. Big time. One of Albert Pujols' home runs should not have counted.

HankRory McIlroy did not deserve to win the 2022 Open Championship
If you're Rory and you're leading the Open and in the back nine, you only have one birdie... He didn't necessarily choke, but he didn't, he didn't deserve to win. Like he didn't, he didn't play the back nine like a champion.
