The Open Championship is essentially a 'Snow Game' in football terms

The open is a snow game. There's just so much unpredictability involved in a snow game. Maybe you can throw the ball, maybe you gotta run it. You don't know if you can depend on your kicker at all. That's what I look at here.

This is an interpretive analogy that helps explain the volatility of the event.

The Home Run Derby is officially dead

The Home Run Derby is officially dead. And here's why... the Home Run Derby has lost its luster. The Juice Ball Home Run Derby. The way the format was set, the Home Run Derby is dead because all it took was one horrific national anthem to steal the night.

This is a subjective opinion on the cultural relevance of the event.

The MLB should allow players suspended for steroids back early if they win the Home Run Derby

Our idea that we had last year was one of the best, which is if you test positive for steroids, you can get out of your suspension by winning the Home Run Derby.

The MLB has not implemented a policy where steroids users can commute their suspension through Home Run Derby victory.

Tarik Skubal will win the AL Cy Young

Tarik Skubal is not starting [the All-Star Game]. And he is going to be the AL Cy Young as that guy sent me the envelope... per the guy who gave me the envelope that said bet him right now. He is the odds-on favorite right now.

Tarik Skubal won the 2024 AL Cy Young award in a unanimous vote.

Bryson DeChambeau must get away from single-length irons to fix his game

He uses these single length irons... Nobody's using single length irons except Bryson. I just think he's gotta get away from that and at least try something different with the irons. 'cause the iron play is just not good enough right now to win major championships.

This is a technical analysis and opinion on a player's equipment strategy.

Viktor Hovland will win the 2026 Open Championship

My pick is gonna be Victor Hovland... I just like the way Victor's played. Got the win over Scotty Scheffler. That's gotta help the confidence... I think Victor Hovland has found something. He's the guy that rides the confidence wave as well. I think Hovland's the open champion.

The 2026 Open Championship is being played from July 16-19, 2026. As of July 19, 2026, the final round is underway, and the winner has not yet been determined. Sam Burns was the 54-hole leader entering the final day.

Wyndham Clark is 'free money' for a top 20 finish at the 2026 Open Championship.

Wyndham is a top 10 bet right now. Wyndham is a top 10 bet everywhere. Like everywhere he plays, top 10, very confident... I just think if you're looking at numbers, look at Wyndham Clark and you see a decent number on a top 10, top 20 bet. I think it's kind of free money right now with Wyndham Clark.

Wyndham Clark missed the cut at the 2026 Open Championship, with scores of 73 and 70 for a total of +3. Therefore, he did not finish in the top 10 or top 20 as predicted.
