Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that.

Paul McGinley and Iain Carter joined the program this morning. McGinley talked about the investment that Europe makes in the experience for the team, how they relished being seen as the underdog, how good Rory McIlroy was all week, Shane Lowry always having Rory's back, positioning the line-up for Sunday singles, the next captain and the envelope room. Carter talked about why Europe is so good at the Ryder Cup, their evolution vs. revolution, and where McIlroy now stands in the U.K. and Europe. We ended the show with our dogs of the week.

Die vyfmalige major-kampioen Rory McIlroy het die New Yorkse skare gekritiseer vir onaanvaarbare en beledigende gedrag tydens die Ryderbeker-kompetisie in Bethpage Black. Span Europa het Amerika 15-13 geklop om agtereenvolgende titels te verower, en die eerste keer sedert 2021 op Amerikaanse bodem te wen. 'n Raserige skare het voortdurend persoonlike beledigings teenoor die Europese spelers geslinger terwyl bier op McIlroy se vrou, Erica, uitgegooi is. Hy sê dié gedrag moet nooit in die sport aanvaar word nie:

This week, we sit and discuss Europe's amazing win at Bethpage. Ronan and Pete dig into everything from Lowry's heroics to McIlroy's abuse, a toothless golf course and the tale of two very different captains. Enjoy!

Bethpage, Tag 2: Europa zieht auf 11,5 zu 4,5 davon – sportlich überzeugend, emotional aufgeladen. Wir sprechen über eine Atmosphäre, die phasenweise die Grenzen weiter überschritt: Anfeindungen gegen Rory McIlroy, Bodyshaming gegen Shane Lowry, laute Sprechchöre. Umso bemerkenswerter die Reaktionen: McIlroy kontert mit Präzision und Coolness, Justin Rose und Tommy Fleetwood bleiben stoisch – ihr Vierer wirkt wie ein Lehrstück in Balance und Nervenstärke. Auch die Rolle des europäischen Staffs und der Vizekapitäne sind Thema. Die Erfahrung, die klare Ansprache, die Brüderschaft – das Europa hat ein Fundament, das in New York trägt. Marcel Siem erzählt dazu, wie er das Ganze sieht, blickt mit der Brille des Spielers drauf und gibt spannende Insights aus dem europäischen Team. Im sportlichen Teil analysieren wir die Schlüsselmomente des Samstags und blicken mit Gast Marcel Siem auf das Finale in den Singles. Thema „Umschlagregel“ rund um Viktor Hovlands Nacken: legitim, aber mit Beigeschmack – weshalb Europa wohl sportlich zu Ende spielen will. Die Ansetzungen bieten reichlich Zündstoff: Cameron Young vs. Justin Rose, Justin Thomas vs. Tommy Fleetwood, der Kracher Scottie Scheffler vs. Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay vs. Ludvig Åberg, J.J. Spaun vs. Sepp Straka sowie Duelle mit Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry, Rasmus Højgaard und Harris English. Unsere Einordnung: Europa punktet breit, weil immer „einer da ist“ – und weil die Teamchemie stimmt. Dazu lobende Worte für Sportsmanship auf beiden Seiten – trotz aller Lautstärke draußen. Highlights: • Fan-Aggression in Bethpage: wo Stimmung kippt – und wie Europas Stars reagieren • Vierer-Analyse: Rose/Fleetwood als Muster an Balance, McIlroy/Lowry mit Big Plays • Umschlagregel erklärt: was bei Hovlands Nacken theoretisch passiert – und warum Europa wohl spielt • Singles-Vorschau mit Krachern: Scheffler vs. McIlroy, Cantlay vs. Åberg, Spaun vs. Straka • Marcel Siem ordnet ein: Europas Erfahrung, Staff-Stärke, mentale Widerstandsfähigkeit • Sportsmanship trotz Hitzigkeit: Gesten, die den Tag gerettet haben

Will Doctor gets you ready for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black this week. Will covers every golfer in the field for the Americans and Europeans. Will dives deep into who and what he thinks is the best strategy for your betting approach. Will Doctor (0:15 - 0:28) opened the show welcoming listeners with energy and promising sharp Ryder Cup insights. Will Doctor (0:33 - 55:37) recapped the fiery ceremonies, noting Luke Donald's criticism of U.S. systems, Keegan Bradley's Farmingdale roots, and Kathy Hochul's repeated boos. He framed the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black as electric and immediately criticized the U.S. for starting with alternate shot, pointing out Europe's 51–37 advantage in that format since 2002 and calling the decision “an act of insanity.” He explained the point structure—28 total, Europe needs 14 to retain, U.S. 14.5 to win back—and emphasized Europe's chemistry, with 11 of 12 returning from 2023, compared to a U.S. side rusty after limited recent play. He highlighted the strength of the American roster with Scheffler, Henley, Schauffele, and Thomas but reminded listeners that past U.S. teams with world number ones still lost. Missing veterans like Spieth and Koepka left the squad without seasoned leaders. On Bethpage, he called it a “1936 masterpiece” demanding precision, but said rain-softened conditions and trimmed rough may neutralize its difficulty. On players, Scheffler was praised as “the best long iron player in the game,” likely paired with Henley. J.J. Spaun was credited for elite irons and big-moment poise. Schauffele's experience (14-8-0) was countered by wild driving, while Henley's consistency made him invaluable despite lacking distance. Harris English's poor irons raised doubts, while DeChambeau was seen as a potential difference-maker if paired with a “marksman” like Spaun or Griffin rather than Thomas, whose ball striking woes made him “statistically the worst player on this American team.” Morikawa's poor prep suggested limited use, while rookies Griffin and Cameron Young were urged as sparks, with Young called the “hometown kid” who should be unleashed early. Cantlay's 15-6-1 team record earned a call to play every session, and Burns's putting strength positioned him as a best-ball asset. On Europe, McIlroy was expected to thrive on softened fairways and pair again with Fleetwood, whose form and partnership history made him a projected star. McIntyre was labeled a weak link due to shaky ball striking, while Rose was respected for veteran leadership but doubted for heavy use. Rasmus Højgaard was called a “sneaky weapon” in four-ball, Hatton reliable in foursomes with Rahm but risky in singles, and Lowry and Straka limited by putting and approach struggles. In contrast, Åberg and Hovland were described as statistical machines, with Hovland “a major problem” for the U.S. Fitzpatrick, historically poor at Ryder Cups, was forecasted to break through thanks to sharp recent form. Rahm's 6-3-3 Ryder Cup record and clutch history, including a win over Tiger in 2018, reinforced his role as Europe's closer. Will ended without picking an outright winner, instead backing Scheffler as top U.S. scorer (+275) and Europe in foursomes (+135), citing their 7-1 domination in 2023. He concluded that softened Bethpage conditions tilt slightly toward Europe but overall make the 2025 Ryder Cup too close to call Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will Doctor, the sharpest golf handicapper in the game, is back with a loaded episode breaking down everything from Ryder Cup scenarios to this week's Tour Championship and British Masters betting boards. Doc starts by recapping the BMW Championship and Danish Golf Championship before diving into the Tour Championship at East Lake, analyzing the top four names on the odds board. From there, he gives out two picks to place, one outright winner, and one outright winner without Scottie Scheffler, his sleeper of the week. The East Lake preview wraps up with two DFS lineups, a scoring prediction, and Doc's best bet. Stick around until the end as Doc takes you across the pond for the BetFred British Masters, giving out an outright, a matchup, a Top 10, and his best bet of the week. The 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake marks the season finale with a fresh twist: no more staggered scoring. All thirty players begin at even par, turning this into a true head-to-head battle for a $40 million purse and the FedEx Cup trophy. Scottie Scheffler arrives as the clear favorite after winning the BMW for his fifth victory of the year. His numbers are staggering: thirteen straight top-8 finishes, five wins, two majors, and a putter that has finally come alive under Phil Kenyon. At +180 odds he's expected to dominate, and he could become the first back-to-back FedEx Cup champion. Challengers include Rory McIlroy, a three-time winner here, though his driving has been erratic. Viktor Hovland, champion in 2023, has regained form with strong approach play and improved putting. If the forecasted rain softens the greens, he could thrive. Rising star Ludvig Åberg looks primed for a breakthrough after stringing together flawless all-around stats, and Sam Burns carries momentum from a top finish at the BMW while fighting for a Ryder Cup spot. Ryder Cup implications loom large. Europe's lineup is mostly settled, with McIlroy, Hovland, Rose, Hatton, Fleetwood, Lowry, Straka, and Åberg locked in. Rasmus Højgaard's recent run secures his place, while Matthew Fitzpatrick looks safe despite a poor Cup record. For Team USA, the top six are set, but captain Keegan Bradley must decide among Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Bradley himself, Brian Harman, Griffin, and McNeely. East Lake is the final audition, with Burns and Cameron Young also capable of forcing their way in. Scheffler is the man to beat, but East Lake has a history of drama — Rory's comeback in 2022, Hovland's weather-delayed win in 2023, Tiger's unforgettable 2018 victory. This week feels just as loaded. Expect Scheffler to contend for another trophy, but the bigger story may be which players punch their Ryder Cup tickets and who is left behind when the teams head to Bethpage.

Tommy Fleetwood, seeking his first PGA Tour win, led after 54 holes but faltered, finishing second; he emphasized gratitude for fan support and the importance of learning from close calls. Scottie Scheffler briefly shared the final-round lead but lost nearly 1.5 strokes putting on Sunday, missing the playoff by one. Key FedExCup changes saw Kitayama, Cauley, Fowler, Vegas, and Poston move into the top 50 while Potgieter, Spieth, Knapp, Clark, and Martin dropped out. Fowler, who finished T6, knew roughly a top 10 was needed and edged Chris Kirk by one shot to advance. Doctor defended Fowler against criticism over sponsor exemptions, blaming reduced field sizes for controversy, and highlighted that Memphis drew 3.6 million viewers, the best since 2018. Doctor's betting card suffered as Scheffler's Sunday putting cost multiple wagers. Brad Payne, caddying for Scheffler, noted good putts simply didn't fall, while Scheffler praised Spaun's grit. A win came via Jacob Bridgman over Potgieter, but Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Harris English underperformed. On the European Tour, a bet on Christopher Broberg failed as Grant Forrest prevailed. Ryder Cup standings for Team USA show locks in Scheffler, Spaun, Schauffele, Henley, DeChambeau, English, and Thomas, with Morikawa, Bradley, McNeely, and Novak on the bubble. Contenders like Young, Cantlay, and Goderup remain in play. Cantlay endorsed Bradley's inclusion if he were captain. Team Europe's locks include McIlroy, Rose, Fleetwood, McIntyre, Hatton, Straka, Lowry, Oberg, Hovland, and Fitzpatrick, with Højgaard and Wallace vulnerable; Jon Rahm will take a spot, and others could qualify with strong finishes. Caves Valley's redesign features rebuilt greens, narrowed fairways, and lengthened holes, now a par 70 over 7,600 yards. Doctor reviewed top contenders: Scheffler's form remains strong despite a caddie change, McIlroy's driving accuracy is a concern, Schauffele and Thomas struggle with consistency, Fleetwood and Oberg offer solid form but questionable value, and Cantlay's price is too short given recent results. This week's picks include Fowler over Lowry, Sam Burns for a top 10, Matthew Fitzpatrick outright at 40–1, and Denny McCarthy as sleeper top 10. First round leaders are Scheffler and Burns. The DraftKings lineup features Young, Burns, Fitzpatrick, Fowler, McCarthy, and Novak, with Scheffler as best bet for top American. Doctor also tips Sami Välimäki to win the Danish Golf Championship at 35–1, citing improved iron play and consistent driving and putting.

Olivia Peden is joined from Royal Portrush by Belfast Telegraph's chief sportswriter Steven Beacom and Sport Journalist Adam McKendry to look ahead to what the open holds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Die wêreld se nommer 158, Chris Gotterup, het Rory McIlroy 'n tweede Skotse Ope-titel ontsê. Die Amerikaner het die finale ronde met 66 afgesluit om met twee houe te wen - die grootste oorwinnng van sy loopbaan. McIlroy deel die tweede plek met Marco Penge van Engeland. Nicolai Højgaard van Denemarke, saam met Gotterup, het 'n vierde plek verseker in volgende week se Ope-kampioenskap met 'n telling van 64. Gotterup sê hy het dit geniet om teen McIlory te speel:

JJ Spahn's emotional and improbable victory—highlighted by a bogey-free 66 in Round 1 and a comeback from five-over through six holes on Sunday—dominates the opening analysis. Spahn's perseverance, bolstered by past experiences like his playoff loss to Rory at Sawgrass and personal life moments, creates one of golf's most compelling storylines this year. Sam Burns, despite leading after 36 holes, faltered on Sunday with a back-nine 5-over but gained praise for his accountability in addressing a controversial rules decision on the 15th hole. Victor Hovland impressed with another top-10 major finish, while Tyrell Hatton and Cam Young finished tied for fourth, each undone by late bogeys. Carlos Ortiz's top-4 finish secured him future major spots and significant earnings. Scottie Scheffler posted a T-7 finish with elite iron play but struggled with driving accuracy. Brooks Koepka showed flashes of his major-winning form with a T-12 finish. Bryson DeChambeau and Keegan Bradley both disappointed due to poor putting and iron play, respectively. Collin Morikawa dazzled tee-to-green but suffered a shocking putting regression. Betting-wise, Will Doctor's card went down 2 units for the week, bringing his YTD loss to 70.7 units. Matchup wins included Rahm over McIlroy and Matsuyama as top Japanese, while Åberg missed the cut as the top Nordic. For the Travelers Championship, Doctor critiques the 72-man no-cut format, urging a return to 120-player fields with cuts and innovations like a shot clock. Course characteristics at TPC River Highlands favor accurate drivers and elite wedge players. Scottie Scheffler headlines as a strong pick at +325 with no statistical weaknesses. Rory McIlroy is passed on due to poor wedge play and fatigue. Morikawa is deemed overpriced despite his iron strength. Schauffele is dismissed for weak wedge approach stats. Matchups include Akshay Bhatia over Sungjae Im and Sepp Straka over Patrick Cantlay, based on wedge stats and recent form. Russell Henley is endorsed as a top-10 pick and outright bet due to his improved putting and elite iron play. Additional outrights include Bud Cauley at 110-1 for his course fit and Scottie Scheffler as the favorite. First-round bet goes to Sam Burns to start strong. Fantasy lineups are provided for both DraftKings and PGATOUR.com formats, featuring Straka, Henley, McIntyre, Spieth, Bhatia, and Cauley. The scoring prediction is -20 under par, with the best bet being Henley top 10 at +275. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

-Discussing top 7 on odds board at Quail Hollow -1 matchup -2 picks to place -2 outrights added to 2 futures on card -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor, host of the Golf Preview Podcast, provided a comprehensive breakdown of the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, North Carolina. The event features 156 players, and the course—known for hosting the Wells Fargo Championship—is now set for its second PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy, with four wins at Quail Hollow and four victories in his last ten starts, is co-favorite at +550 alongside world number one Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy, though powerful off the tee averaging 324 yards at Philly Cricket, only hit 40% of fairways, presenting accuracy concerns. Scheffler, coming off an eight-shot victory at the Nelson, has shown flawless iron play and putting, despite never playing Quail Hollow professionally. Will Doctor endorsed Scheffler as his primary pick at +550. Justin Thomas, fourth favorite at 22-1, has been exceptional lately with two runner-ups and a win in his last four starts. His strong course history at Quail Hollow, including a 2017 PGA win, positions him as a top contender. Bryson DeChambeau, at +950, recently won at Live Korea, praised for his elite driving and improving short game, though his iron play remains a question. Doctor recommends DeChambeau for a Top 10 finish at +110 but avoids an outright pick. Sepp Straka's victory at Philly Cricket was highlighted by his 60% fairway rate, over 3.5 strokes gained on approach, and best-in-field putting performance. Shane Lowry led the field in approach but faltered with the putter, notably a costly three-putt on the 72nd hole, continuing his winless streak since 2022. Will Doctor criticized his own picks from the previous event, noting none contended, with Spieth finishing T34, Stevens T23, and Dorby Olson T54. His picks to place last week salvaged some units, including Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood, both closing with 65s, and Andrew Novak with a final round 64 for T17. Quail Hollow, expected to play at 7,600 yards, faces wet conditions from early-week rains, likely favoring bombers and elite chippers, though greens will remain firm due to sub-air systems. The betting focus includes Justin Thomas over Jon Rahm at +117, McIlroy to Top 5 at even money, and Bryson DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. Futures on Tyrell Hatton and Sung Jae Im have lost value, with both needing career weeks to contend, particularly Im, whose iron play has struggled all year. The DraftKings lineup features DeChambeau, Thomas, Matsuyama, Novak, Mitchell, and Norgaard, while the PGA.com lineup includes Scheffler (captain), DeChambeau, Thomas, McIlroy, with Mitchell and Novak on the bench. Keith Mitchell, known for his fast starts but inability to maintain over four rounds, is backed to Top 20 at 3-1. Doctor expects the winning score at 14 under, higher than the 8 under posted by Thomas in 2017 due to softer conditions. His best bet is DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. He criticized the Live schedule's poor major prep, arguing it hampers players like Rahm more than DeChambeau. Finally, he acknowledged the rain's impact would likely limit firmness to Saturday only, favoring players with distance, elite iron play, and strong short games.

In his upcoming biography Rory Land, Pulitzer-nominated author Timothy Gay tries to make sense of them all.

Andy Johnson is joined by "Designing Golf" host Garrett Morrison for a look at the current state of men's professional golf following Rory McIlroy's win at the Masters. The two prepared three storylines each that they're looking forward to for the rest of this year, leading to discussions about McIlroy, Jon Rahm, the American Ryder Cup team, and more. Andy and Garrett also share one course they're looking forward to seeing host a major tournament this year, prompting breakdowns of Cypress Point and Royal Portrush.

Andy and Brendan are back at home after a week in Georgia but still reflecting on what Brendan has deemed "the greatest Masters" of his life. This episode unpacks some of the more emotional elements surrounding Rory's win and subsequent completion of the career slam. The two discuss how Rory's sustained relevance in majors without a win could parallel to struggles in any person's life before comparing McIlroy's current career standing with Phil Mickelson's. Andy wonders what Justin Rose is doing to prepare for majors given his performance in weekly PGA Tour events and also demands apologies from the Corey Conners contingent who were not pleased with his takes last week. Picks are made for the RBC Heritage as this gambling podcast looks to stay hot after picking another winner last week. PJ then hosts a lengthy round of In-Out-Alternate for this week's alternate field event in PuntaCana, featuring some SGS favorites and plenty of winners from the early 2010s. Brendan wraps things up with some quick bits of news, including a "creator" exemption into the 'Cuda, before heading off to Disney World, where Rory may or may not be celebrating his Masters win.

It may be the final A-Day for the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers so, what did we learn at both places? Alabama Football has a quarterback battle…or do they? Auburn Football has the receiver room, do they have the quarterback to get it to them? Did we watch A-Day die right in front of us? Speaking of quarterbacks, The Tennessee Volunteers are now without their returning starter after Tennessee Football and Nico Iamaleava had a very public divorce. The QB is now in the portal looking for a new home and Volunteers Head Coach Josh Heupel is getting praised for taking a hard line stance with his former starter. What really happened with Iamaleava and what is his real market value? Did he really hold out before the College Football Playoff game at The Ohio State Buckeyes? Ohio State Football made him look as if he did, in fact, hold out. Reminder: He can not play right away at any SEC school. But, the College Football Portal does open on Wednesday, should we expect any Alabama Football or Auburn Football activity? Rumor has it that Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning was the coach that tipped off Josh Heupel. If so, would there be any recruiting impact for the Oregon Football coach? Insanity: Reports say to build a Top Ten College Basketball roster, you now need $10 Million! Alabama Basketball loses another player in the Portal, Derrion Reid is in the Portal now. One former Bama player finds his new home. Jarin Stevenson is off to the North Carolina Tar Heels. Alabama Basketball coach Nate Oats is being mentioned as a candidate for The Denver Nuggets, is there a draw to the pros for the Alabama coach? ESPN’s Rece Davis just became the beneficiary of the College Football Pregame Show war. A Friend of the Show cashes in! The Masters wrapped up over the weekend in historic fashion with Rory McIlroy finishing off the career Grand Slam becoming only the 6th golfer in history to accomplish that feat. McIlroy won in a thrilling final round that included a one hole sudden death playoff win over Justin Rose who had stormed back to tie the lead.Visit the TNR store: https://nextround.store/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andy and Brendan are BUZZING back at the Draddy house after an unforgettable third round Saturday at Augusta National. They begin, naturally, with Zach Johnson's round. Then it's on to the incredible Rory McIlroy show that started 5-under through five, peaked with a legendary strut into 15, and closed with a two-shot lead with 18 to go for the career slam. They also chat extensively on Bryson DeChambeau not giving into the fight even without his best stuff, and closing with three birdies in his last four holes to REALLY put the pressure on McIlroy for a Sunday final pairing for the ages. They also get into Jordan Spieth's extreme whining about mud balls and how it might play with the green jackets. They close with PJ on Pace Car duty recapping Tom Kim's solo round that pushed the four-hour mark before some final remarks heading into Sunday.
