Brian Harman is the Ben Simmons of golf

He's right-handed, but he plays left-handed. Love it. He's the Ben Simmons of golf.

The comparison is based on the verified fact that both athletes use their non-dominant hands for their primary sports action.

I'm officially off the Rory McIlroy train

I'm off Rory officially. Okay. All right. Well it's, I'm officially off Rory now. It's gonna be 10 years going into the next season, right? Yeah. It's been 10 years. He'll never win a major Championship.

As of late 2024, Rory McIlroy still has not won a major since the 2014 PGA Championship.

Rory McIlroy's focus on the FedEx Cup is 'loser talk'

[Rory] said, I don't think that way. I think about trying to go and win a fourth FedEx here in a couple weeks. Go try and win a fifth race to Dubai. Go and win a fifth rider cup. I just keep looking forward that my friends is loser talk. FedEx Cup means nothing.

Every golf course should have pot bunkers

I like the open just because the course, like every course should have the bunkers that that England has because when you hit in a bunker, it should be punitive. You should be fucked. You should be totally fucked. Yeah. And that's what happens in these I want pop bunkers in every golf course. Like that's it, it it, everything is harder. And I like that.

This is a matter of preference in golf course design.

Naming a company 'MegaCorp' guarantees you will eventually try to destroy the Earth

If you name your company MegaCorp, at some point in the history of your company, you will try to destroy the earth.

Satirical hyperbolic claim.

The NFL franchise tag should be abolished entirely

There really shouldn't be a franchise tag in general. And I started to think about the franchise tag because it's something that's become so just natural to talk about and part of the game... But from a logical standpoint, there's really no reason why the franchise tag should even be a thing at all.

The NFL franchise tag should be a flat $50 million and not count against the cap

It's either there should be no franchise tag or they should make the franchise tag not punitive to the cap, but it ha you have to pay the person 50 million for any position... It's essentially like, we can't figure out a deal. We want you so bad. Here's so much money that you won't be upset about it.

Policy suggestion for the NFL.

MLS team names like Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake are stupid

NFL teams should not be allowed to wear throwback uniforms from a city they moved away from

The Houston Oilers are back. The Tennessee Titans unveiled their throwback uniforms... if you move your team to a different city, you can take those colors. I get that. But you can never actually put on the Houston Oilers... uniform... You're neither Houston nor Oilers. And they're iconic. They're great... It sucks. It sucks.

Silence is the most powerful tool a broadcaster has

I think so there have been times in my career, and that's 20 plus years ago, there are times in my career where you realize silence is the most powerful tool you have to let the natural sounds come over at television, which, you know, I think I've been pretty respectful of over the years.

I will likely never broadcast national baseball again

The National Baseball stuff, I don't see how that ever comes around again. Like I said, it just, you're gone, you're done. You're, it's, it's beyond, I, I think doing, and I, I got, you know, this got headlines click bait crap in the New York Post... but I don't see it anytime soon.

As of late 2024, Joe Buck has not returned to baseball broadcasting.

Jordan Love is going to stink

He's gonna stink. So I I gotta warn you, Joe, I have, I, I'm moving into a new house soon and I have a bigger tv, So I am going to make the greatest big head Joe Buck pictures I've ever made.

Jordan Love finished the 2023 season as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, leading the Packers to a playoff win and signing a record-breaking contract extension. He definitely did not stink.

If a player has a baby during an NFL week, they are guaranteed a touchdown

If a player has a baby during the week, if they become a dad during the week, if they're an offensive skill position player, they always get a touchdown. If it's a backup tight end, if it's like a, a number three wide receiver, just know that going into Monday at football, if they become a father that week, they're getting a fucking touchdown.

This is a recurring 'narrative' claim that often holds up but isn't 100% statistically true.

Any side dish works with any main course

I don't believe in in Correct the idea that one type of meal, like if you order a steak, then mashed potatoes is the side to that. But if you order pasta, guess what? Mashed potatoes is a great side for pasta too... All sides. If you like a side it works with any main course that you also like.

Ordering delivery from two different places for the same meal makes you a 'fat ass'

I would order from both places for dinner. Yeah. And just do 'em... it would be like three entrees and an appetizer from two different places. Oh. For myself... I am a fat ass and you are a fat ass if you ordered delivery dinner from two different places at the same time.
