Telescopes are just an optical illusion and don't actually get you closer

So if you reflect things enough, eventually they get really close. ... It actually gets you closer because that's the only thing that you can see. So it's an optical illusion. So you think that you're closer because it's all that your eye has in its vision.

Telescopes use lenses and mirrors to physically magnify light and bring distant objects into focus; it is not merely an optical illusion of blocking out peripheral vision.

Bill O'Brien should be known as the 'QB Yeller' rather than the 'QB Whisperer.'

Bill O'Brien we have officially taken away his QB whisperer name. He is no longer the QB... how did he get that title? He was the QB yeller because he screamed at Tom Brady that one time and everyone was like 'wow this guy's not afraid to stand up to Tom Brady so he must be a good coach.'

O'Brien's tenure in Houston was marked by inconsistent quarterback play and he was eventually fired after a series of poor personnel decisions.

J.J. Watt will catch at least two touchdowns against the Bengals

My prediction is J.J. Watt scores two touchdowns because the Texans have three tight ends that all have concussions. So J.J. Watt's going to catch some balls tonight.

The Texans won 13-9, and J.J. Watt did not score any touchdowns.

The Saints will cover the spread (+7) against the Patriots

I have the New Orleans Saints covering at plus seven against the New England Patriots. That's a lot of points to give up at home in the Bayou.

The Patriots defeated the Saints 36-20 on September 17, 2017, easily covering the 7-point spread.

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.
