The WNBA's momentum will be killed by its four-week Olympic break

My Hot Seat, coincidentally... The WNBA. They won't be playing basketball for four weeks. So imagine if, like the 1988 dunk contest. It was incredible. And then the NBA just didn't happen for four weeks. All the momentum they've gained, just nothing's gonna happen.

Despite the break, the WNBA saw record-breaking viewership and attendance figures for the remainder of the 2024 season and playoffs.

Jordan Love's training camp hold-in is one of the most selfish things a player has ever done

Jordan Love is the first player to do this. And it's disgusting. This is one of the most selfish things I've ever seen a player do... he's not going to practice with his team until he gets his new contract.

Jordan Love signed a 4-year, $220 million extension on July 26, 2024, ending his brief 'hold-in' shortly after this episode aired.

Aaron Rodgers is currently less of a diva than Jordan Love

Is Aaron Rodgers less of a diva than Jordan Love? Aaron Rodgers at Training Camp, Jordan Love is not a training camp.

I don't know what the, which is crazy 'cause he's—a grand total. He's gonna do, he's 32 years old. So, so, so making Jordan Love the highest paid quarterback after like, such a small sample. That's the free market in the NFL. Yeah. It, it's one of those situations where you have to pay him.

Jordan Love's extension (55M AAV) tied him with Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence for the highest annual average salary in NFL history at the time.

Adding UConn to the Big 12 would make it the greatest college basketball conference ever

The UConn Huskies are seems like they're trying to get into the Big 12... it also would make the Big 12 the greatest college basketball conference of all time. because it would, now you'd have Kansas, you'd have UConn, you'd have Arizona, like Cincinnati. It'd be just crazy college basketball.

UConn has not joined the Big 12. Conference expansion discussions were paused, and as of February 2026, UConn remains in the Big East. The Big 12 commissioner halted expansion discussions.

Lauri Markkanen is not worth $200 million

They just gave Lauri Markkanen a five year, 200 plus million dollar contract... He's not worth that much money. I'd pay him 35 [million].

Contract value is subjective, though Markkanen is an All-Star. It remains a matter of opinion.
