Concussions might not be real because the science isn't definitive

I don't know if they just all knew magically that concussions were like a real thing, which science is still out on that, by the way. ... And I'm not going to say that concussions are harmful until the NFL tells me. And Roger Goodell is not going to do that.

Medical science has definitively proven the existence and harmful effects of concussions and their link to CTE.

I would much rather see an all-time meltdown than an all-time comeback

I don't know if you agree with me on this one, I would so much rather see an all-time meltdown than an all-time comeback. An all-time meltdown, especially in golf, when it's just you out there... you're just stuck there sucking worse than anyone has ever sucked.

This is a purely subjective aesthetic preference for sports viewership.

Jordan Spieth is a classier person than Cam Newton because he handled his loss like a professional

Something about Jordan Spieth makes him more likable to me and classier of a person than Cam Newton. ... To be a true professional, you have to be able to face the music. How long do you think postgame press conferences after a loss get compared to Cam Newton?

Whether one athlete is 'classier' than another is entirely a matter of opinion, though the hosts are using it here for comedic effect.

Jordan Spieth threw his caddy under the bus by referring to his mistakes as 'we'

Spieth did kind of throw his caddy under the bus in his post-game press conference. ... So he kept saying we, which is kind of weird, right? Because you're a golfer, and you're the guy out there hitting the shots. He's like, we had a tough time on 12. We made some bad shots.

The interpretation of intent behind the pronoun 'we' is subjective.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
