Rob Gronkowski is the second greatest New England Patriot of all time

This player came in, changed everything, just vibes wise. He, he, you know, I think I was 18 or 19 when he, when he signed with the team. So as an 18, 19-year-old, he was everything. Rob Gronkowski, Gronk, spike, freaking nature, the most fun player, you know, non Tom Brady. Greatest tight end of all time. I think he might be the easiest player to root for if you're a fan of that team.

This is a subjective ranking of player legacy.

Tedy Bruschi is the #3 all-time Patriot

Number three... Heart and Soul of the defense... Legend. Teddy Bruski.

The 2024 Masters will have an asterisk because Taylor Gooch wasn't invited

Taylor Gooch was interviewed... and he said he's going to be an asterisk. It's just a reality. Taylor Gooch will always remember as the Masters that didn't have Taylor Gooch.

The 2024 Masters took place without an official asterisk, and Scottie Scheffler's win is generally considered legitimate.

Julian Edelman is the 4th greatest New England Patriot of all time

In the number four spot... Friend of the program. It's Jules, it's Gronk. Great guy. Jules. Gritty receiver, basically. Fought through seven concussions against the Seahawks. Made a miraculous catch against the Falcons. Super Bowl MVP against the Rams. Wow. Julian Edelman.

Rankings are subjective, but placing Edelman #4 all-time for a franchise with many Hall of Famers is a controversial take among analysts.

Ty Law is the fifth-best Patriot of the dynasty era

My number five Patriot of all time... Swaggiest Patriot maybe on this whole list. Ty Law. That's number five.

Purely a subjective ranking of team legends.

I will be able to dunk a basketball and hit twenty three-pointers within the next ten months

I'm going hard to dunk... summer, that's exactly my plan. I'm already over leveraged. What if I do both and hit 20 threes? I just have to basically change my entire lifestyle way of thinking and everything.

Hank famously failed to dunk despite months of 'training'.

I bet $10,000 that I can dunk a men's basketball on a 10-foot rim by the end of 2024

I'll bet you $10,000. You can't do it by the end of the year. Yeah, I'll match... Men's basketball, 10 foot rim... Deal, deal, deal... I'm due to follow up on one of these things and make it happen.

Hank did not dunk a basketball by the end of 2024.

Mac McClung should be ineligible for the NBA Dunk Contest because he isn't an active NBA player

Mac McClung should be ineligible because he is not in the [NBA]... That is the NBA dunk contest, not the G League dunk contest. If you're going to do that, just bring people off the street.

Subjective opinion on exhibition eligibility rules.

Randy Moss is not a top 10 Patriot of all time

Randy Moss also, it's crazy to say, but like, I don't know that he's a top 10 patriot of all time. [Because he] didn't win a ring.

While subjective, most analysts consider Moss's 2007 season and overall impact top-tier, making this a very controversial take.

Mark Zuckerberg is an animal and would defeat everyone on the PMT crew in a fight

Las Vegas will host the Super Bowl once every two or three years

I think we're gonna be in a world where Vegas is gonna be hosting a lot more Super Bowls... If not every year, like it'll be once every two years or once every three years, it will get a more frequent rotation than any other stadium.

While future Super Bowls are scheduled for New Orleans and Los Angeles, the frequency of Vegas's return is yet to be determined.
Void
HankHank

New Orleans is a better Super Bowl host city than Las Vegas because of its bar culture

I like cities better because Vegas is just club or casino... New Orleans is gonna be great because casino's an option if you want to. You can also just go to bars all night.

Host city preference is entirely a matter of personal taste.

At least one punt in Super Bowl 58 will result in a touchback

Will any punt result in a touchback? ... I'll be loading up, unloading the clip, emptying the clip, putting it all on this one prop. ... There's gonna be a fucking touchback on one of these punts for sure.

There were 11 punts in Super Bowl 58, but zero resulted in a touchback.

The Larry the Goldfish tattoo looks bad because I used a frozen dead corpse as the reference

I never told you guys. 'cause I knew I would've never heard the end of it... [The tattoo artist] asked for a reference picture. And I was like, whoa, I can get a reference picture. He's in the freezer so let me go take a picture... he had already done the full dead tattoo on my body where I was like, oh my God, this is a dead goldfish. I could've just Googled goldfish and it wouldn't have mattered.

Confirmed by Hank's own admission of his past actions.

Patrick Mahomes is ahead of Tom Brady's pace for greatness

Yeah, I mean, it's tough to deny if he wins a Super Bowl. He is on pace... I'd say ahead of pace.

Subjective comparison, but statistically Mahomes had more titles and better stats than Brady did after six seasons as a starter.

The Chiefs will easily beat the 49ers in Super Bowl 58

The Chiefs are gonna blow past the 49ers in the [Super Bowl]. They just find a way. They find a way and they have completely changed.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl, but it was a close overtime game, not a blowout.

If the Celtics stay healthy, they will win the championship this year

I've said it the whole year. If, if this team is healthy in the Playoffs, they'll win the Championship. Chris Saps has been an amazing addition... Just gotta stay healthy.

The Celtics dominated the 2023-24 season and won the NBA Finals in 5 games over the Mavericks.

Tristan Thompson took cheap steroids intended for physical appearance rather than performance

Tristan Thompson... Got busted for steroids... I went immediately to my number one source of steroids in the world that I know named Billy Football. And he said the craziest thing is that he was taking Broke Boys steroids. Oh. Stuff Frat Boys and Talkers used to bulk up... He was doing it for the look, not for the functionality.

Thompson was suspended for 25 games for testing positive for ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033, which are often categorized exactly as Hank described.

You must always defer the coin toss if you win it

Why would you not defer, why would you not get the ball back to, to start the second half? I just assumed that was like a, a cardinal fundamental rule. And then when you look at the stats... I think you should just defer every time.

While mathematically sound, it is a strategic preference, not a literal fact that can be 'correct'.

The Patriots will make the Super Bowl in the next four years

I owe [PFT] $20,000 [if the Patriots don't make the Super Bowl in the next 5 years]. ... You're down one year already. You got four years left. ... New coach. Top three pick. ... Look how fast the Lions did it. ... There's a path.

The Patriots made Super Bowl LX (February 2026), losing to the Seahawks 29-13.

I am done with the Cowboys because they kept Mike McCarthy

I said if they keep him around, I'm done with the Cowboys. I'm done with the Cowboys. Wow.

Hank's Cowboys 'fandom' was largely a bit/bet related to his futures, but he did stop supporting them after this point.

I am returning to a private lifestyle because the internet ruined the Tiffany Gomas content

I will definitely be going back to, to zero dark private life mode... because it's fun. I enjoy it and, and you know, 99% of the people are fun. They play along... But then there's the 1% of people, people that will DMM and, and, and, and just go way over the top.

Hank did largely stop posting about his dating life or 'Tiffany Gomas' content after this episode.

Romantically, things are not going to happen with Tiffany Gomas

I would like to, you know, set the record straight that we're not [dating]. ... we just kind of said, let's, let's just, you know, call a spade a spade and go our separate ways. ... I just think romantically it's not, it's not not gonna happen.

Dak Prescott has the 'yips' and cannot throw the football

I have never seen in person witness someone have the yips like Dak had the yips. ... The first interception was a terrible throw. ... You could see he was telegraphing the pass. ... Dak Prescott, he had the yips. I, there was no other way to describe it. ... Dak Prescott's horrible, like literally is a quarterback that can't throw.

Dak struggled significantly in the first half of this specific game, but 'yips' as a career diagnosis is subjective and controversial given his regular season success.

The Cowboys must get rid of Dak Prescott and hire Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels

I think you gotta get rid of Dak. Okay. You gotta, you can't pay Dak, CD and Parsons. ... You gotta get rid of Dak. You gotta get Bill Belichick in there, clean house. Let 'em, let 'em run the show. ... Belichick and McDaniels together again.

The Cowboys retained Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott, and Belichick did not take a coaching job in 2024.

I would rather the Patriots hire Mike Vrabel than Jerod Mayo to replace Bill Belichick

I would rather Vrabel... He's a recurring guest, friend of the program. He's proven it. Super Bowl champion. Obviously Mayo is too, but I would rather Vrabel just [because of his] proximity to the show.

The Patriots hired Jerod Mayo on January 12, 2024, the day this episode aired, making Hank's preference obsolete.

I still give Bill Belichick slightly more credit than Tom Brady for the Patriots' dynasty, roughly a 51 to 49 percent split.

I think it's 51-49 [Belichick over Brady]... it's not a one or the other. 2001 that was, that was Belichick. I know [Brady won a Super Bowl without him], I'm just saying it's not like... I think it's, if it's 51-49, whoever you want to call it. It's not a one or the other.

This is a purely subjective debate that can never be definitively resolved.

NBA officiating in the Celtics-Pacers game was 'very questionable' after reversing a clear foul

Last night against the Pacers... Jalen Brown had a game tying shot attempt that they call the foul. They reviewed the tape, he clearly got hit in the head. They reversed it, gave the pacers the ball back... very questionable. Very, very questionable.

The NBA L2M report later confirmed that Buddy Hield should have been called for a foul on Jaylen Brown.

The Patriots should draft Marvin Harrison Jr.

I'm down for Marvin Harrison Jr. He's gonna slip approach. You're gonna take Caleb Williams. You're gonna take Drake May... I'm down for, give me Marvin Harrison Jr.

Bill Belichick will not lose to the New York Jets

I've been saying for the last three weeks, Bill Belichick will not lose to the Jets. I feel like Bill Belichick, if he does get fired, they need to make that its own day.

The Patriots lost to the Jets 17-3 on January 7, 2024, in what turned out to be Belichick's final game as Patriots head coach.

The report that the Patriots have decided to fire Bill Belichick is 'fake news'

As a Patriots fan on this podcast, I'm just gonna say that that seems like fake news to me. Seems like a fake news media report from Tom Curran. You know, the media's been out to get us since 2000... Belichick didn't do anything wrong... there's no chance. 0% chance. I don't think Belichick would leave.

Belichick and the Patriots 'mutually agreed to part ways' on January 11, 2024, essentially confirming the reports were accurate.

Dolphins fans are insufferable and it would be funny to see them lose the AFC East

Dolphins fans are annoyingly cocky and Bills fans... I feel more of a connection to... Dolphins fans are insufferable. Like they're super annoying. They're super cocky. They haven't won shit. And seeing them blow a season and somehow lose the AFC East would be funny.

The Dolphins did eventually lose the AFC East to the Bills in Week 18.

Reports that Bill Belichick will leave the Patriots after the season are fake news

Tom Curran... said that at the end of the year, the Patriots and Belichick are probably gonna part ways... I'm just gonna go with the fact that it's a report and it's not true. It might be fake news. I'm hoping it's fake. I'm in the denial stage right now.

Bill Belichick and the Patriots mutually agreed to part ways on January 11, 2024.

The Eagles will lose in the first round of the playoffs

My overly direct take of the weekend is that the Eagles are gonna lose the first round of the playoffs. ... I was watching the defense. Defense wins championships. And the Eagles defense doesn't exist.

GTA VI is the point where video games became indistinguishable from reality

GTA six finally released their trailer yesterday. And yeah, it, that's we've, we've done it. We've gotten to the point where I can't tell if it's a video game or real life. Unfortunately. That clip of the, of the girls shaking her booty on the, on the car. I was like, is that real? I don't, it finally happened where my brain can't process video games. In reality.

I don't want Caleb Williams on the Patriots

I don't want Caleb Williams. I'll say it right now. Really? Oh, oh, fingernails. Was it the crying? It's the crying thing. I, I have no problem with the fingernails, but I don't, I don't really have a problem with the crying. I just don't know. I feel like there's just a lot of character issues.

The Patriots ended up drafting Drake May after the Bears took Caleb Williams #1. Subjective on whether he 'wanted' him, but Williams went #1 and is the starter in Chicago.

The Bills will make the Super Bowl and lose to the Cowboys

My overly direct take is that I think the Bills are gonna make the Super Bowl... And then lose to the Cowboys... I think they're gonna rally and and make a deep run.

Neither team made the Super Bowl. The Bills lost in the Divisional round and the Cowboys lost in the Wild Card round.

The Gillette Stadium lighthouse is real as a symbol and a beacon of hope

Technically by definition, some would say that this lighthouse is not real. But there's some that would say that it is real... Just because PFT says this lighthouse isn't real, it doesn't mean you can't, it doesn't have to be real to you and as a region... Patriots fans, new Englanders, they'll recognize this lighthouse as a real thing, as a beacon of hope and as a symbol of our team.

Hank is making a philosophical point to avoid losing a bet/argument about the lighthouse's legitimacy as a functional maritime structure.
