The Hoffman Show

Craig and Anthony discuss whether the Commanders can sustain success in 2025 with a significantly tougher schedule on the horizon. After a 2024 season built on thin margins, clutch wins, and high-variance situations, the guys debate whether Washington is built to withstand regression and rise to the occasion—or if their luck might run out.

After watching the Oklahoma City Thunder use intentional fouling to close out their Game 4 win over the Timberwolves, Craig and Anthony debate whether the NBA should consider a rule to prevent teams from intentionally fouling in the final seconds of a game. Is it a smart strategy or bad for the product? Should the league step in to preserve exciting finishes, or is this just smart basketball? The guys dive into both sides of the debate.

Lynnell crashes the show to debate whether Terry McLaurin is a top 10 wide receiver in the NFL. After a recent conversation with Trevor Sikkema, Lynnell acknowledges there's a strong case for Terry—but ultimately doesn’t put him in the top 10. Craig pushes back, arguing that McLaurin is top 10, pointing out that players like Mike Evans and Garrett Wilson—whom Lynnell ranks ahead—won’t command the kind of payday Terry is about to receive. It’s a spirited WR debate you won’t want to miss.
