The NFL's 'fumble through the end zone' touchback rule is actually good because it's the only rule that favors the defense

Everyone says it's a bad rule... I disagree. I think that it's not a bad rule. In fact, I think it's a good rule. It's the only rule that favors the defense at all. The way that the game's going, every rule change is in favor of the offense... This is the one rule that on defense, it gives you a little bit of [help].

The rule remains highly controversial but unchanged, making this a permanent philosophical debate.

Drew Brees is clearly washed

Drew Brees clearly looked very washed. I've been on the Drew Brees is washed train for two years now and I've said that the Saints have a Super Bowl roster and the only thing that's holding them back is Drew Brees.

Brees threw 3 interceptions and averaged 4.0 yards per attempt in this game, and retired shortly after, confirming he was at the end of his career.

Drew Brees' physical limitations cost the Saints the game

It was clear. [Brees] can't throw the ball over 15 yards. His mind is still there, but he doesn't have any of the physical abilities. And that cost the Saints the game. Drew Brees unfortunately lost them the game.

Stats and film from the game showed Brees unable to push the ball downfield, which allowed the Bucs to compress their defense.

Jameis Winston's one touchdown pass against the Bucs will earn him a massive contract next year

That one pass made Jameis Winston $25 million next year. I don't know about that much, but it definitely... whoever comes in second with the Deshaun Watson jackpot, they're going to have to pony up some cash for Big J-Dog.

Jameis Winston signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal to stay with the Saints, which is significantly less than the $25 million mentioned.

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.
