LeBron Used Steroids? Jeff Teague's Accusation Sparks Debate | HARD PASS Ep. 21

Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague drops a steroid bomb on LeBron, with an explosive accusation about using PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs)... before backpeddling the next day. But even as a “joke,” the comment raises serious questions about PEDs – and the reckless accusations – in pro-sports. Doug unpacks the claim, as well as past whispers about LeBron, and what it would take to make these allegations actually stick. Plus, a TikTok video just cost WNBA star Sophie Cunningham $500… for lip-syncing!

On today’s episode:

The Hoop Scoop – Jeff Teague accuses LeBron of using steroids… then backpedals. Could it actually be true? The internet reacts, and Doug breaks down the noise, including comparisons to Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds, and why PED rumors always stick… even when they shouldn’t.

Heat Check – The internet erupts. Gas station confrontations, Klutch jokes, and PED chatter about Tiger Woods. Doug asks: have fans gone too far?

Betting 101 – How noise, hype, and expectations are warping performance — from Caitlin Clark to your betting slip.

Fans in the Stands – Did the T-shirts blow the goodwill? Or are rising stars making the WNBA must-watch? Either way, pressure’s rising.

“If fans think lip-syncing on TikTok deserves a fine, what should this gas station moment cost?!”

WNBA Players Demand Their Worth: Will the League Listen? | HARD PASS Ep. 20

WNBA stars are demanding a raise — and threatening a lockout if they don’t get it. But are they asking for what they’re owed… or what they’re worth? Doug breaks down why the league can’t afford to fumble this negotiation — and who’s throwing grenades from within.

HARD PASS Ep. 20

#HardPass #WNBA #CaitlinClark #DougKezirian #BasketballDrama

On today’s episode:

The Hoop Scoop – WNBA’s salary fight hits a boiling point. “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirts stir backlash. Doug explains why players deserve more — but flubbed the message.

Money Talks – With $2.2B in media deals and $250M expansion fees, the players have all the leverage — but can the league avoid screwing it up?

Heat Check – ESPN spins ratings after Clark skips the All-Star game. Katt Williams takes a swing at Angel Reese… and misses badly.

Fans in the Stands – Some say it’s jealousy, others blame bad timing. A few raise the real issue: injuries and roster depth.

Doug fires back: “Fumble a $2.2B bag, you don’t deserve a raise — you deserve a refund.”

WNBA's Historic Standoff Over Billions at Stake | HARD PASS Ep.19

WNBA players are threatening a lockout — and while the league has lost money for years, they’re not asking for back pay. They’re aiming for a cut of what’s next: a $2.2B media deal and $250M expansion fees. Their All-Star “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirts made headlines — and the message landed. Meanwhile, Kelsey Plum threw shade at Caitlin Clark… and it didn’t go over well. Doug breaks it all down.

HARD PASS Ep.19

#WNBA #CaitlinClark #KelseyPlum #WNBAAllStar #WNBApaygap #WNBA2025 #HARDPASS #DougKezirian

On today’s episode:

The Hoop Scoop – WNBA players demand more pay with bold All-Star Game shirts. Doug breaks down why their timing is perfect — even if the word “owe” misses the mark.

Heat Check – Critics claim the league isn’t profitable, but ignore the billion-dollar media deal and expansion boom already locked in.

Doug Goes Off – Kelsey Plum downplays Caitlin Clark’s impact — and Doug has no patience for the pettiness.

Fans in the Stands – Some defend Angel Reese’s taunts as justified payback. Others say she clapped for violence — and that Shaq needs to sit this one out. You’ll want to see how wild the comments got. 👀
