Brooks Koepka is the greatest golfer of all time this year

[Brooks Koepka] is the greatest golfer of all time this year. So I don't understand how it works, but I just know that this one triggered all the other finishes, and now he won it all.

Koepka was World No. 1 in 2019 and had an exceptional year, though 'greatest of all time' even for a year is subjective hyperbole.

I would pay Ezekiel Elliott before Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper

I get it with Ezekiel Elliott. This is the take I'm willing to squat on. I would pay Ezekiel Elliott first. I would pay him before Dak. I'd pay him before Amari.

This is a team-building philosophy question. The Cowboys eventually signed all three, but Zeke's massive contract is often cited as a mistake in hindsight compared to Dak's value.

LeBron James should have received a technical foul for dunking in his son's AAU layup line

LeBron got in the layup line... Literally in the layup line. It was like throwing down dunks. He should have got a technical foul. They scored. He ran on the court, was celebrating with the team. You're not allowed to dunk in the layup line. That is a technical foul.

In official high school/NCAA games, dunking in pre-game layup lines can be a technical, but for a non-player parent in an AAU game, it's not a rule that applies.

LeBron James was taking time and attention away from the kids by dunking in the layup line

Seemed pretty dangerous. Seemed like he was taking time away from the kids. Seemed like the rim probably, the next dunk that goes down, the backboard's going to come down.

The sentiment is subjective. While some saw it as a great dad moment, others agreed it was attention-seeking.

Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith will eventually run for President together

I can see a world like 10 years from now, 15 years from now, where the two candidates for president are Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith. And then they run together. And then they're co-presidents.

Extremely unlikely to happen literally, though both have leaned into political commentary since this episode.

Barefoot people on planes are the most annoying travel people

The barefoot person on the plane. The person who puts their feet up and there are just toes everywhere. It's just gross. I don't care how clean your feet are. When I look at a foot, I assume it's dirty and I imagine the smell even if it doesn't stink.

Purely a matter of personal opinion and social etiquette.

People who bring hot, smelly food onto planes are assholes

Hot food on the plane guy who brings it in with him. Dude, if you're bringing like a whole Chinese food and then popping it open right when we sit down, you're an asshole. and it smells everywhere, that's the worst.

Subjective opinion on social norms.

You should always clap when a plane lands safely

The pilot landed on the ground safely. You just traveled hundreds and hundreds of miles in the air, and you're not going to clap and appreciate what the pilot just did for you? ... Sometimes I ironically will just start a clap. Like I'll do one just to see if I can get it going.

Subjective travel habit.

Kyrie Irving will become a militant vegan within a month of hanging out with DeAndre Jordan

I got a prediction. You're going to turn Kyrie Irving into a vegan, like within a month. One month of hanging out with Kyrie and he's going to be militant anti-meat. Done. He's going to be throwing fake blood onto Russell Westbrook when he's walking into the arena.

Kyrie Irving has been reported as following a mostly plant-based diet at various times, but it wasn't a direct result of 'militant' influence from DeAndre Jordan in this specific way.

Joel Embiid is the hardest player to guard in the post

I'll probably have to say a guy like Joel Embiid, man. He's a big guy. He can face up, back to the basket, super skilled, extremely strong. So a guy like that probably.

This is a subjective assessment from a professional peer.

Trevor Bauer is a 'dumb smart person' whose antics are good for baseball

Trevor Bauer... he's a dumb, smart person. ... I think that he might be exactly what baseball needs. We always talk about baseball. We don't have a face of the game. Lean into marketing this dumbass. ... Baseball hasn't really had an asshole for a long time.

Subjective opinion on marketing and league entertainment value. Bauer certainly remained a polarizing figure until his suspension.

There is no difference between being a hardcore football fan and someone who treats mouse figurines like family

There's zero difference between what we do and these people pretending that their mouse figurines are part of their family. ... We're paying so much attention to football and watching Hard Knocks and breaking down all 22 for no reason on Twitter, they would probably be like, these guys are a bunch of weirdos.

A philosophical/humorous comparison that is inherently subjective.
