  • Wow, you guys are back peddling

    Wow, rigs if your boss heard this have some testicular fortitude and when you say something stick with it, you guys are not the only one that’s saying that the coverage was bad every outlet that I’ve listened to from Tuesday until now is saying the same thing and if you have an opinion and say that something is bad, usually what happens is they take that people‘s opinion and try to do better by it I’m sure your boss wouldn’t like the fact that you guys are back paddling on this

  • 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
