Hard Knocks has taken a nosedive and is no longer essential viewing

hard knocks has taken a nosedive. It was a drone shot, which was cool. The drone shot was very cool. Very cool... but that is what hard knocks [is]. Like we're at a point now that was tonight's mojo moment. It was the mojo moment. We're watching the hard knocks because that's what we want to do. But there's also moments where we're like, why are we doing this?

The show's ratings and cultural relevance have generally declined over the years as teams exert more control over the content.

Hard Knocks should be a two-hour special at the end of training camp instead of a weekly series

I think maybe if you, if you were to take the entire training camp and then distill it into two hours. Yeah, I think that would be good. We'll film a film. Yeah. Just like, guess have it, have it be two hours on HBO. Like the last week of the pre-season after the cuts, that way you get to meet everybody, you get to meet all the kids.

This is a subjective proposal for how to fix a TV show.

Ben DiNucci is at the end of his line with the Cowboys

I'm dreading next week's cuts. Cause I think [Ben] DeNucci is at the end of his line three picks. He's got the arm launch angle thing going on.

Ben DiNucci was indeed waived by the Cowboys during final roster cuts in August 2021 (though he was signed to the practice squad).

Aroldis Chapman is the sweatiest man in New York sports history

I mean, if [Aroldis] Chapman, like, if that's your closer, I can't who sweat, who's a sweaty or man Aroldis Chapman or Patrick Ewing and the history of New York sports cause a role does Chapman. He is able to accomplish Patrick Ewing, like levels of sweat in a much shorter periods.

This is a humorous subjective comparison.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
