Brendan! is calling for a Victory Friday for the city (or town?) of Cleveland following Andrew Bailey's win at the U.S. Mid-Am! BP is joined by PJ for a brief intro to this Friday show covering the Mid-Am final, early PGA Tour action in Utah, and Pete Crow-Armstrong's struggles in a two-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs. Brendan then brings on Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal for a look at the "Business Season" of professional golf. The two discuss a variety of topics including what's next for the PGA Tour's media rights deals, the continued search for sponsors for Championship and Challenger series events, and whether FedEx is really gone for good following the 2027 season. Josh also hits on the recent wave of executive departures from the LPGA and the league's struggles to build a television audience. We'll return on Monday with a full recap of a loaded week of Silly Season golf (and probably Sunday's Jets at Bears matchup). Get yourself suited up for those final rounds of the year.

WILD CARD RECAP! That’s right, we give you all the deets surrounding the three sweeps and the Phillies-Braves three-gamer. Tim Kurkjian was on the call for ESPN Radio in New York, and his adventures on the Subway could not have been more hysterical. The celebrity he ran into will absolutely blow your mind. Plus, a case of mistaken identity involving Eduardo Perez had us laughing! Yankees-Red Sox, we all saw it, but wait until you hear Cody Bellinger’s breakdown, along with Cam Schlittler. Ben Rice too, of course! This Yankees team just proved to be much too much for the Red Sox. The other Sox handled their business swiftly, however, as Chicago took down Houston on the road. The White Sox actually led all 18 innings, which is insane to think about. The Padres just spanked the Cubs. Tatis set the tone early, Gavin Sheets came up with a pinch-hit performance that set a record, and it was all Padres, all the time. Then, Phillies-Braves. What a back-and-forth series! Jeff breaks down the craziness of Game 2 (and Game 1, for that matter) between these division rivals. What a great series it was! On This Date in Baseball History, a lot happened, including pitching records that broke each other! We did not see this coming, and Tim was giddy! Bucky Dent (sorry, Red Sox fans) follows up with a pretty epic story about a house rental gone wrong. And ultimately, we get a Team Tim about the best players to NEVER play a postseason game, which is crazy to think about. Thanks so much for listening or watching!
