Bronny James should be required to use 'LeBron James Jr.' in the box score instead of 'B. James'

I really don't like the fact that [Bronny] is going by Bronny. Why not? His name's LeBron James Jr. Just go LeBron James Jr. I don't like calling like it's even in the box score. It's B James. Yeah. I don't like that, bro. I agree with you. The name is LeBron James Jr.

This is a subjective preference about player naming conventions.

Pete Alonzo is the biggest loser in sports during the Home Run Derby

Pete Alonzo with the home run Derby is the worst. He is the biggest loser in sports when the Home Run Derby comes around. ... He, dude, he gets laser focused. He meditates backstage. He goes into like a little panic room by himself in between rounds and just focuses and visualize home runs. And the home run derby isn't even that fun anymore.

This is a subjective characterization of a player's behavior.

Taxes are optional in Greece

In Greece, taxes are optional. And then their economy just crumbles every like 10, 15 years. They're like, Hey, we should probably start paying taxes. ... I looked, I just, I just Googled that. Yes. Currently more than half of Greek households are exempt from any personal income tax.

While tax evasion has been a historical issue in Greece, taxes are legally mandatory. The 50% exemption stat he found likely refers to low-income thresholds, not optionality.

The World Series trophy is the worst trophy in sports

There is no worse trophy than the World Series. That trophy stinks. That trophy's just literally like, Hey, how can we make a trophy that looks like it's gonna break at any moment? ... It really is. It's, it's really a blowout when you go from like the Stanley Cup to the World Series. ... The problem with it is, it, it looks cool if it's in a glass container, but to actually celebrate with it, you can't celebrate with it.

NFL players should be allowed to taunt because they are adults getting paid

Why can't, I don't really understand. I think if you're getting paid to play football, you can taunt. I'm all for not taunting in college and high school. But once you get paid to play, I think we should be able to taunt and nobody's gonna get their feelings hurt. Like we're all big boys, we're gonna be okay.

The Bengals' championship window is open as long as I am the quarterback

[Is the window open?] It's always open. If you don't feel like that, then why are you playing football?

Lobster meat is definitely meat because it is a crustacean

Lobster meat is considered meat because it is a crustacean and a type of seafood. ... [To Max] You grew up in a dumb household [if you think fish isn't meat].

The definition of meat is subjective based on context (culinary vs. biological).

Titties are a type of meat

Titties is meat. Great choice. ... They're made out of meat. ... Is it the Mount Rushmore meat that you eat? Fact or fiction. ... I enjoy looking at the meat.

Biologically they contain fatty tissue and muscle, but they are not 'meat' in a culinary context. It was eventually removed from his list under protest.
