RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 391 by previewing football season for patrons before a laugh about Scott's father-in-law hijacking the family's evening. They hit the Mariners' 100-game .500 mark, reminisce about the Big Red Machine, then shift to the World Cup, where both stayed hooked long after Team USA's exit. Mitch and Scott rave about teenage phenom Lamine Yamal, poke fun at FIFA's halftime show, preview Seahawks camp, Ryan Fox's British Open win, and Bryson DeChambeau's penalty. Ray Roberts and Mitch discuss Seattle's new ownership, why the defending Super Bowl champs still seem overlooked, and what the Seahawks gained—and lost—this offseason. Roberts also shares hilarious training camp stories, from sneaking home to sleep in his own bed to finally meeting childhood hero Ed "Too Tall" Jones, the player who inspired him to wear No. 72. Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down another uneven Mariners series as Seattle reaches the 100-game mark at 50-50. They argue Dan Wilson has become an unfair scapegoat for a flawed roster, praise Cole Young's continued rise, and discuss Julio Rodríguez's return, Colt Emerson's progress, and looming roster decisions. Mitch welcomes three beat reporters who know the Mariners' top draft picks better than anyone. Sam Sklar breaks down first-round slugger Ace Reese, Koki Riley explains why LSU outfielder Jake Brown could become a second-round steal, and Scott Springer profiles Cincinnati right-hander Nathan Taylor, whose bulldog mentality and dominant slider made him one of the draft's best values. Together, they provide an inside look at Seattle's newest wave of talent and what fans can expect from each prospect.

This episode we discuss the setup for the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, with particular focus on the firm, fast conditions and how much water the course is losing each day through high wind and heat. We talk about how the greens are being monitored and adjusted with modern technology, and how the course presentation is being kept under control.We also look at how players may adapt their strategy, with many expected to leave driver out in favor of irons, mini drivers or three-woods. The discussion covers wedge bounce, firm fairways, bunkers, and how the course conditions create difficult equipment decisions for the field.We spend a lot of time on the holes that could shape the championship, especially 1, 10, 13, 14, 17 and 18. We talk about the challenge of the opening stretch, the reachable but dangerous par 5s, the narrow closing hole, and how wind direction could change the approach on several key holes.We then turn to likely scoring and possible outcomes, with the group largely agreeing that the winning score is more likely to be in the high single digits rather than very low. We also discuss which players may suit the test, including Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Jordan Spieth, Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Reed, Matt Fitzpatrick, Harris English and others.Finally, we cover the “Tooting Beck” low-round prediction for British and Irish players, and close with a brief exchange about England's football match against Argentina.

The Open Championship is here! What a tournament, what a history. And today Nick and Mark preview The Open.Mark asks Nick about when he played in The Open Championship in 2008 and Greg Norman led at 54 holes, tied for the lead with 8 holes to play ...and he was retired and spending his time playing tennis !!As usual we have a look at the power rankings, and we start with a convo about Tommy Fleetwood - this is his home course, and Nick says there is nothing like local knowledge of a course, and Mark says he is the best player to not win a major, so it could be a good weekend for him.Nick notes that Min Woo's iron play is looking much better, and his short game is on point. Mark says this course suits Min Woo, and he is one of the best stinger players he's ever seen, and he deserves to be considered the leading Australian in the field.Mark talks about how this course has seen plenty of great putters win, seems to suit them. Nick isn't looking forward to seeing Tom Kim play, describing him as 'brutal' to watch (in reference to his pace).Scheffler is #5 in the power rankings, and Mark feels he knows why that is the case. Nick's 'concern' about Scottie this week is his putting.Rory #4 in the power rankings, Nick saw a funny piece of footage featuring Rory this week which we have a listen to. Matt Fitzpatrick...he is red hot, both Nick and Mark are huge fans and reckon he's set for a big weekend.Mark cannot understand why Morikawa is #2 in the power rankings for The Open, Nick can and explains why. Nick goes on to explain the strategy for playing this course.With the tournament finishing at a similar time to the World Cup Final, Nick tells Mark that there is a contingency to adjust tee times if England are in the final to avoid the situation of empty stands, or cheering from the stands as people keep an eye on the World Cup.And before the turn we discuss some of the fun, new markets Betr have on the tournament, there are some crackers if you want to whack 5 bucks on a couple. And what will our Talk Birdie Betr multi be? We kick it around before the turn, and decide after. We text Hummer live, and get the odds back in record time.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. On this Friday edition closing out the first half of the baseball season, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler run through a full slate of matchups before turning their attention to an NFL win total preview on the Dallas Cowboys, all while being honest about a rougher stretch of results over the past couple weeks. Dave opens by noting he cashed his client best bet on the Brewers first five the night before, and he shares that he likes Matt Fitzpatrick and Rory heading through their respective golf rounds. Munaf explains that Thursday cards have been a consistent trouble spot this season, largely because of the thin getaway day schedule, and he pledges never to force plays just to have something on the board every day. The two then work through four featured games in careful detail. In the nation's capital, Ryan Weathers and the Yankees face Carson Palmquist and the Nationals, with both hosts leaning heavily on the over given Palmquist's expected short outing, a shaky Nationals bullpen, and a Nationals lineup that leads the majors in runs scored, plus a standout trend showing the Nationals going twelve and three to the over in the first game of a home series this season. In Tampa Bay, Luis Castillo and the Mariners take on Nick Martinez and the Rays, with the pair pointing to Castillo's poor history following high pitch count starts and Martinez owning a career mark of zero and four against Seattle, landing both hosts on the over and some added interest in the Rays moneyline. In Miami, Parker Messick faces Sandy Alcantara in what both expect to be a tightly pitched affair, with a detailed discussion of pitch count trends, Jose Ramirez potentially returning to the Guardians lineup soon, and Alcantara's strong home splits this season. In Cincinnati, Shota Imanaga takes on a struggling Hunter Greene coming off a brutal return from injury, with both hosts leaning toward the Cubs in the first five innings and citing Imanaga's strong career track record against the Reds, including a ten strikeout effort earlier this season. The conversation also touches briefly on several other games around the board, including Chris Sale and the Braves against the Cardinals, the Dodgers as rare underdogs against the Diamondbacks, a total that spiked from nine and a half to ten and a half between Baltimore and Kansas City, action involving the Athletics and White Sox, a total shift in the Astros and Rangers game, the Angels and Twins, Phillies and Tigers, Red Sox and Mets, and a notable total jump in the Blue Jays and Padres matchup. From there, the show shifts into a lengthy and opinionated breakdown of the Dallas Cowboys ahead of the coming NFL season, with a win total set at nine and a half. Dave delivers an extended take on ownership, ongoing questions about the new defensive coordinator and head coaching staff, and why he continues to side with the under until the results prove otherwise, while Munaf highlights a brutal opening stretch of the schedule, an offense that should remain productive, and a defense that gave up the second most points in the league last season, ultimately projecting an eight or nine win season. The episode wraps with best bets for Friday, as the hosts land on a Royals team total play, a low scoring first five bet between the Guardians and Marlins, and a bonus mention involving a red hot Twins starter against a struggling Orioles pitcher working back from injury. Before signing off, the pair remind listeners this is the final show before the All-Star break, with new episodes returning around July twenty first, and they encourage listeners to check out a discounted picks package covering baseball, golf, and basketball coverage heading into a busy sports weekend that also includes UFC action and World Cup quarterfinal matches.

BRADY KANNON (Golf.com, SportsGrid, CBS Sports) The US Open tees off at Shinnecock Hills tomorrow and the conditions could make an already difficult course set-up almost unplayable, so which golfers could benefit from the weather and playing conditions?

World Cup fever? No way. As the saying goes, I'd rather watch paint dry. Soccer may be a fun game for kids to play, but it can be downright boring watching it in person and, moreso, on television. But if you enjoy watching the World Cup soccer on television, go for it! You still have another 35 days to go. I'll tune in whenever I need a nap. My weekend television viewing was spent watching more traditional sporting events. Let's jump right in. NBA Finals – New York Knicks took the title 94-90 on Saturday night The New York Knicks have won their first NBA title since 1973. Finals MVP guard Jalen Brunson played like a dead ringer for Knicks legend Earl “The Pearl” Monroe from that 1973 title team. The now 81-year old Earl Monroe was named one of the NBA's top 50 players of the 20th century. He was known for his uncanny ability to “shake and bake” defenders in order to get his shots away. He and teammate Walt Frazier were both inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall-of Fame. Jalen Brunson (who is generously listed at 6'1”) weaved his way in, around, and through the giant San Antonio Spurs defense for one great shot after another during this series. His 45 points in Saturday night's deciding Game 5 in San Antonio accounted for nearly half of his team's 94 point total. The San Antonio Spurs came into this series considered as a slight favorite after knocking-off defending champion Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals. San Antonio played like Wile E. Coyote for this entire series. I blame their coach for that. Every game in this five game series had the San Antonio Spurs racing out to a double digit lead. In each game, the New York Knicks patiently waited for their chance to blow past their unfocused opponent. Much like legendary cartoon character Wile E. Coyote, the Spurs looked and acted overconfident at the beginning of every game in this series. At the end of all but one game, it was the Spurs going over the proverbial cliff and going “poof” at the bottom of the canyon. San Antonio's coaches and players should have learned a few lessons during home losses in Games 1 and 2 of this series. After grabbing a close win in Game 3 in New York, these “Same Old Spurs” reappeared in a big way midway through Game 4 last week. San Antonio blew the largest lead ever in an NBA Finals game (29 points) to fall behind 3-1 in the series. There was no way that San Antonio could lose a third straight home game in Game 5, right? Saturday night's Game 5 in San Antonio had the Spurs doing exactly the same thing they had done in every other loss. They raced to an early double digit lead (16 points in Game 5) and then folded like a cheap beach chair during the second half once again. I place the blame for poor strategy and on-court execution on the San Antonio coaches for making the same second half mistakes in this series over and over again. The feckless Spurs appeared dazed during the fourth quarter of these five games. They averaged a paltry 21 points during the all-important fourth quarters of these NBA Finals. When the chips were down, the Spurs functioned like a rudderless ship, while their head coach seemed to push all the wrong buttons. San Antonio guard De'Aaron Fox is paid $51 million per year. He averaged nearly 19 points per game in the regular season but tanked to just over 14 points per game during the NBA Finals. Fox tallied only 7 points on 3-15 from the field in Game 5 in San Antonio on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Spurs 7'4” center-turned-point guard named Victor Wembanyama continued to take and miss a significant number of unnecessary 3-point shots. Why is he allowed to shoot those shots instead of play closer to the basket? The coach allows it. These collapses occurred under the watch of San Antonio's 39-year old head coach Mitch Johnson. He took over the head coaching job after apprenticing under Spurs 5-time NBA champion coach Gregg Popovich. Mitch Johnson took over this team in 2025. This was his first time coaching a team in the NBA playoffs. Coach Johnson curiously kept Spurs' dynamic sixth man Dylan Harper on the bench to start pivotal Game 5 while leaving ineffective De'Aaron Fox as the starter. Harper (who scored 25 points in 31 minutes of action) was clearly the better player in this series. Why wasn’t he played more? ESPN’s Charles Barkley asked the same question during halftime of Game 5. The former NBA player-turned-commentator said the Spurs would be better off putting De’Aaron Fox on the bench in the second half. That didn’t happen. Barkley turned out to be right. The Spurs are now done for this season. Congratulations to the New York Knicks. A ticker tape victory parade for the team will take place on Thursday in Manhattan. Carolina Hurricanes won the 2026 Stanley Cup title Sunday night The Carolina Hurricanes took a 3-0 road win to close out the Stanley Cup four games to two over the Las Vegas Golden Knights. It was the second title for the Raleigh-based NHL team in the past 20 seasons. Congratulations to the Canes! (OK – I don't watch enough hockey to have any further thoughts on this subject) Surprising Louisville Kings dethrone DC Defenders in UFL United Bowl III title game The expansion Louisville Kings started their first season 0-3. This team came together to finish the regular season at 6-4 and earn a spot in the UFL playoffs. Louisville was just 2-3 at home but a solid 4-1 on the road during the regular season. The Kings had to travel to Washington DC to play the 2025 champion DC Defenders in the UFL title game on Saturday. A sellout crowd of more than 19,000 fans at Audi Field in Washington saw Louisville come from behind after halftime to take a 27-20 win over ol' DC. The Defenders led 16-7 at the intermission and were clinging to a 16-13 advantage after three periods. Louisville then tallied two fourth quarter running touchdowns to win the title in Season #3 of spring’s United Football League. DC finished their season with a 7-5 record. PGA journeyman golfer finally wins. This Bud's for you, Mr. Cauley! Bud Cauley was a three-time college All-American golfer at the University of Alabama. He turned professional 15 years ago in 2011. He played well enough during his first few years on the PGA Tour to keep his playing card despite no first place finishes. Cauley suffered a broken leg, five broken ribs, and a collapsed lung in an automobile accident while playing in Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament in 2018. After several complications in his recovery, he finally resumed playing professional golf six years later in 2024. Bud Cauley was winless in his 238 career PGA Tour starts prior to last weekend's Canadian Open near Toronto. The 36-year old journeyman golfer rediscovered his youthful putting stroke on Sunday. Cauley’s birdie barrage (along with a few key breaks) led to a closing round 65 and his first PGA Tour win. His 17-under par total was two shots better than Matt Fitzpatrick and three better than Viktor Hovland. Bud Cauley's first win came at the same golf tournament which was also the site of golfing great Arnold Palmer's first victory. Arnie pocketed $2,400 for his win back in 1955. Guess how much money that would be this year in 2026? Answer: $30,000 Bud Cauley's win on Sunday carried a first prize of $1,764,000. Even the worst finisher in the field (74th place) at the 2026 Canadian Open took home more than $19,500. Sunday's first triumph will bring some nifty fringe benefits, too. The win put Cauley into this week's US Open at Shinnecock Hills. He will also be in the field for July's Open Championship (British Open) and next spring's Masters. More importantly, the win made Bud Cauley exempt from having to qualify for future PGA Tour events for two years after this season ends. Cauley's wife and his two young sons ran onto the 18th green to greet him and celebrate after he tapped in for the win. It's now off to Long Island in New York and a spot in Thursday's US Open for the rejuvenated Bud Cauley! The post A Weekend of Champions appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

We also discuss why Bryson DeChambeau may be too volatile to trust this week despite his major championship pedigree, plus why names like Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas could be dangerous if their games click.

For one final time, Andy joins Brendan from The Shed(!) for this Sunday recording as they look back on the formative years of this podcast. It's often said that the more things change, the more they stay the same, so it's nice that Cameron Young's dominant 2026 season remains in progress despite Andy leaving The Shed behind. Mr. 1,000 blitzed the field at the inaugural Cadillac Championship, defeating World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by six in the end. This event was practically over on Friday afternoon and Cameron secured his third PGA Tour victory despite calling a penalty on himself for his ball moving at address on a day with Preferred Lies. Brendan found the whole week at Trump Doral sleepy and wonders if there's anything the PGA Tour can do to make events between majors truly stand out. The two discuss which PGA Tour events matter on their own and nearly all occur before the Masters. Andy gives major props to Cameron Young for his continued evolution into a top three player in the world and there's a debate whether the foursome of Young, Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Matt Fitzpatrick have separated themselves from the rest of the world. In other Doral news, Adam Scott looks likely to qualify for his 100th straight major, Justin Rose's McLaren irons didn't make it out of the garage, and Alex Fitzpatrick secured a top ten finish without his brother! Brendan and Andy then run through results from the rest of the world, including a back-to-back runaway win for Nelly Korda, a famous Michael winning on the DP World Tour, and a SECOND major championship win this year for now-Ryder Cup Vice Captain Stewart Cink. Lastly, Brendan wraps up this show with some... enthusiasm for a Game 7 performance from James Harden! Visit BDraddy.com and use promo code SGS30 for 30% off your 2026 Presidents Cup gear!

Gary Williams opens the show with strong opinions on U.S. Open local qualifying, addressing the growing issue of influencers capturing content during competition and why it disrupts the integrity of the game. He also reflects on the nostalgic return to Doral, the significance of Oakland Hills' restored clubhouse, and what these moments mean for golf's history and future.George Savaricas, Golf Channel host and reporter, joins from Doral to break down the current PGA TOUR season at the halfway point. He discusses early Player of the Year candidates like Matt Fitzpatrick and Rory McIlroy, while analyzing whether Scottie Scheffler is poised for another dominant run. Savaricas also shares insight on how the TOUR's evolving structure, including signature events, is impacting players and fans.Savaricas also dives into the return of Doral as a venue, what it means for the PGA TOUR schedule, and whether the Miami market can recapture the energy it once had. He provides perspective on course setup, player familiarity, and how the event fits into a critical stretch leading into the PGA Championship.Keith Stewart, founder of Read The Line, joins to provide a betting and course strategy breakdown for the week at Doral. Stewart explains how the Blue Monster's length, Bermuda grass conditions, and unpredictable rough place a premium on elite long-iron play and trajectory control. He also evaluates the field from a wagering standpoint, highlighting Scheffler's dominance in key metrics while offering insight into how bettors should approach the tournament, including timing and live betting strategies.The conversation wraps with a broader look at the game's evolution, including changing player dynamics, his long-term perspective covering stars like Jordan Spieth, and expectations for the upcoming Presidents Cup in Chicago.5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).0:00 U.S. Open Qualifying Drama10:00 PGA TOUR returns to Doral16:45 George Savaricas 32:15 Keith StewartFOLLOW 5 Clubs: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5clubsgolf/X: https://x.com/5ClubsGolf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5ClubsGolf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@5clubsgolf

Matt Fitzpatrick stayed hot and won again this week in Louisiana at the Zurich Classic. This time though, he had a partner, his brother Alex. The Fitzpatrick's almost blew a big lead, but managed to make a birdie on 18 for a one-stroke victory. We dive into what this means for Alex and how long can Matt stay hot for this year. Nelly Korda won her 3rd major this week in Houston, winning the Chevron by multiple shots. We discuss distance in the women's game and if they are chasing it like in mens professional golf. LIV Louisiana is apparently shutting down after having money issues. LIV Golf will not have an event for a month and half at the beginning of the summer. We again talk about the end of LIV and what this means for the PGA Tour. McLaren Golf launches its new clubs this week and they have a new lead player as a sponsor - Justin Rose. We talk about what to expect as McLaren speeds into golf. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content. Learn more about your ad choices.

Golf's Preeminent Birthday Podcast makes a triumphant return to celebrate Andy Johnson's 40th birthday. The birthday boy is a bit worse for the wear after a "full swing" on Saturday night, but has plenty of stories to share with Brendan after his weekend running a garage sale. Andy's garage sale was NOT the only family-first event on the schedule this week as the Fitzpatrick brothers took home the trophy at the Zurich Classic. Matt Fitzpatrick might have wins in back-to-back weeks, but his younger brother, Alex, now has a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a spot in the upcoming PGA Championship thanks to a successful week in New Orleans. Andy and Brendan recap a chaotic finish to the PGA Tour's lone team event where it looked like nobody actually wanted to win before one of the best shots of the year from Matt Fitzpatrick on the 72nd hole. In non-Fitzpatrick takeaways, Andy is stunned to hear that Joseph LaMagna has sold off his Davis Thompson stock after a tough Sunday, and Tom Hoge was spotted at the casino late on Saturday night ahead of a t6 finish. After Brendan and KVV's special YouTube episode on Friday, Andy offers up his take on Jim Furyk leading Team USA at the 2027 Ryder Cup and wonders if Nick Saban would've legitimately been just as good of an option. Nelly Korda made her jump into the "temporary water feature" at Memorial Park - or as most people call it, a pool - after winning her second Chevron Championship and third major. Korda went wire-to-wire in Houston, but it remains to be seen if the event was a business success for the LPGA given broadcast constraints and what seemed like limited attendance. To top it all off, the much-anticipated pool jump was cut from the NBC broadcast and moved behind the Peacock paywall at the last minute. Paul Azinger made the most of his time on cable TV with Bob Papa this weekend while calling the Mitsubishi Electric Classic, filling PJ and Brendan with joy due to his one-liners. Retief Goosen held off a charging Stephen Ames and Zach Johnson to win the event. Lastly on the recap schedule, Andy's Event of the Week on the Legends Tour didn't go well for tournament host Ian Woosnam and questions arise about Henrik Stenson's inability to contend on the Euro's version of the Champions Tour. We will return on Wednesday to preview the return of the PGA Tour to the Blue Monster at Doral.
