The Home Run Derby would be a better product if it were slowed down to allow viewers to follow the ball

I feel like the rapid fire... it's hard to piece together how many home runs the guys actually got because they're flying over and one hits the wall and you don't know which ball that hit the wall is connected to which swing. I think slowing it down... so you can actually follow the ball and know how many home runs the guy hit, that seems like a better use.

This is a subjective opinion on sports broadcasting format.

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 am a fan of Brian Harman because of how much he pissed off the entire country of England

I had no thoughts about Brian Harman. I ended up the tournament being like, I hate watching this guy because of the waggle. But the fact that he pissed off England so much made me a Brian Harman fan. It felt personal. It felt like a US versus England situation. I want him to be boring and short, all these things right in your fucking face.

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.

Patrick Mahomes is a genuinely good guy who does a lot of charity work when cameras aren't there

I'm amazed at Patrick Mahomes. He's a legitimate good guy that I think has a really big heart. When you talk to their PR folks, they're like, you should see what this guy does when nobody's looking. When cameras aren't there... he does stuff that nobody has any idea about. Just 'cause he is a good guy.

General consensus and reporting support Mahomes' high character.

Tom Brady should not over-prepare and should just be himself in the broadcasting booth

If I am telling Tom Brady anything... I would just say be yourself. I, I don't get into this trying to sound like what you've heard over the years... You know the game. Don't over prepare and see what you see and react with your gut on what you see. I, I think so many times people like that's, they, they overdo it to the point where they're just paralyzed by so much information.

Brady's performance in 2024 has received mixed but generally positive reviews; whether he followed this specific 'don't over-prepare' advice is unknown.
