The 18-1 Patriots Super Bowl loss is worse than the Bruins' first-round collapse

It's definitely the Super Bowl. What are you thinking right now? No, it's obviously the Super Bowl... I'm not trying to make Hank feel better. This is not on the same level as a Milwaukee Bucks. This is not on the same level as a one seed losing at 16. This happens every few years [in hockey].

Subjective comparison of sports chokes.

The 2022-23 Boston Bruins are the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL

How do you feel about your Boston Bruins being the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL? After being the President's Cup trophy winner, they had the most wins in NHL history this year... You lost in the first round to Jake [Marsh]'s Florida Panthers.

The Bruins set records for wins and points and lost in the first round; they are widely cited as the biggest choke in NHL history.

The Bruins' historic season was an abject failure

I don't know how he [Giannis] could say that that was a complete abject failure. It just hurt a lot... most points of all time, most wins of all time... it's a complete failure.

In the context of sports high-stakes, losing as a record-breaking favorite in round 1 is objectively a failure.

Game 7 playoff hockey is the cruelest thing in all of sports.

Game seven playoff hockey, there's nothing like it in sports. Game seven playoff hockey overtime. It is the cruelest thing in all sports... you sit there and be like, how is it over? Like, keep this game going. This is not fair.

This is a subjective emotional assessment of sports moments.

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.
