Scottie Scheffler struggles at the Open because he wants a fair golf course

Scotty does not like it when it's quote unquote unfair. I mean that is the one weird thing about Scotty, like he wants a great shot rewarded and that's just not what links golf's about. This is the one he has not played great at. For Scotty it's trying to lean a little bit more into that world versus 'why is it in that pot bunker?'

Scottie Scheffler dominated the 2025 Open at Royal Portrush, winning by 4 shots at 17-under par. He thrived at links golf, contrary to this prediction.

Kyle Schwarber is the greatest home run hitter in the game

Kyle Schwarber is the man. What a monster. Three swings, three dongs, three no-doubters. He hit three home runs in three swings, absolute monsters. He's the best. I fucking love him forever.

This take is subjective as 'the best' is an opinion, though Schwarber did win the hypothetical swing-off in the transcript context.

Aaron Judge showed bad leadership by leaving the All-Star Game early

Bad leadership by Aaron Judge at the All Star Game. [Ohtani and Judge] were probably on a plane... it did feel like the National League manager was trying to win harder than the American League manager.

The concept of 'leadership' in an exhibition game is inherently subjective.

Every baseball game should be decided by a swing-off

I like the swing off. The end of game is great. I want everything decided by swing offs now. Regular season baseball games swing off... child custody hearings swing off.

Clearly a satirical suggestion for MLB and legal reform.

Europe will win the Ryder Cup and a visiting team win would be good for the tournament

I think Europe's gonna win... I actually think it's kind of important for the Europeans to win this thing. I think putting the, the pressure kind of on the Americans in a couple years... I think actually the the visiting team winning one of these things that hadn't happened since 2012 would actually be good for Ryder Cups.

Europe won the 2025 Ryder Cup 15-13 at Bethpage Black, the first visiting team win since 2012. Both predictions (Europe winning and it being good for the tournament) came true.

Bryson DeChambeau is the perfect partner for alternate shot at the Ryder Cup

Bryson obviously can lean on a lot of the big driving holes and JT can lean on the great great Iron play. I think Bryson has potential to be a big, big star this week... I think he's one of those guys you want to be paired up with as opposed to not wanting to be paired up with.

DeChambeau's performance in high-pressure match play has historically been strong, including his 2024 major success.

Betting on Europe at +170 is a 'hammer' bet

I think the fact that you're getting plus money on Europe is wild. I would, I would, I would hammer Europe right now. I think, I think it, I think it's potential for blowout on the European side.

Europe won the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black 15-13 over the United States. Betting Europe at +170 was indeed a winning bet.
