  • Pathetic attempt to defend American fans

    Some of the worst Ryder cup analysis on the internet comes from these idiots. Trying to justify the behavior of American fans is pathetic. They were a disgrace at bethpage and you are a disgrace for your horrific attempt at defending that behavior. Just about any other golf podcast is better than these idiots
