Country club drama!
Ferrall talks about the crazy ending to the MLB All-Star Game, NBA Summer League, WNBA, and Wyndham Clark getting banned from Oakmont.
July 16, 2025 Hour 4. Wyndham Clark banned from Oakmont. Is a corn dog a hot dog? Texas complaining about money?? The good, bad & ugly, today was the day when.
Tobin is fired up this Wednesday as the crew dives into last night's MLB All-Star Game and the dramatic swing-off finish. Should Major League Baseball scrap extra innings and adopt swing-offs for the regular season? Leroy brings some golf insight after reports that Wyndham Clark has been banned from Oakmont for damaging his locker following a missed cut at the U.S. Open. Is the punishment too harsh? Plus, the tension between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft continues to bubble over. Tobin goes on a rant: be happy with six Super Bowls and move on already!
We kick things off with a dramatic finish to the MLB All-Star Game and a swing-off that has us wondering — should baseball lean into this format and ditch extra innings altogether? Leroy weighs in on the golf world's latest controversy after Wyndham Clark was reportedly banned from Oakmont for damaging his locker. Too harsh, or fair punishment? NFL tension brews as Tobin rants about the never-ending drama between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. You've got six Super Bowls — move on already! In Hour 2, Dolphins talk takes over. Is this the year Miami finally commits to the run game? Tobin and Leroy debate Mike McDaniel's pressure and expectations. Plus, UFC heat rises as Dustin Poirier's underdog status sparks a fiery back-and-forth. And in today's Mixed Bag: Kel'el Ware and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are poised for big development. Hour 3 brings a wild turn — Tobin goes off on Shams Charania after conflicting reports about Terry Rozier's involvement in the ongoing NBA betting investigation. Then it's time for "Rats Off a Ship" featuring LeBron's loyalty, Nick Cannon's love advice, and a bizarre Stanley Cup x Labubu collab. Finally, in Hour 4, the Panthers' schedule is out and Tobin is not happy with their 5 PM start. Breaking NBA news also drops: Bradley Beal is signing with the Clippers. Could LeBron be next to move... maybe to Miami? We wrap the show with Tobin and Leroy's U.S. Open golf picks.
0:00 - Already, Arch Manning is emerging as a legitimate Heisman contender. Are we overvaluing him because of his name? Can we pump the brakes on the Manning Hype Train just a bit? How often do we raise a player's stock because of their last name?17:16 - Cowherd is bullish on the Broncos. The sky's the limit in Year 2 for Bo Nix. 12 wins? 13 wins? Totally reasonable expectation. Do we agree?33:36 - Wyndham Clark has been banned from Oakmont Country Club for angrily destroying a locker during the U.S. Open last month. He'll be able to return if he pays for the damages, makes a charitable donation to an organization selected by the Oakmont board...and completes anger management counseling. 2 of those seem reasonable. 1 of them doesn't.
Our first min-pod of Open Championship week which turns out to not be quite so mini. Andrew and Iain meet up on the first tee to have a chat and watch various golfers tee off in their final practice rounds before it all gets underway on Thursday. In the process of which they fail to identify Cameron Adam - Royal Burgess member, former Scottish Amateur champion and St Andrews Links winner. Feeling so ashamed they have decided to dedicate this pod to him. Iain also chats to US Open champion JJ Spaun and Bob McIntyre, who was of course runner-up to Spaun at Oakmont, but is perhaps better known as something of a mentor to Cameron Adam. Go well Cammy.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the John Deere Classic. -Reviewing Detroit -Discussing top 8 favs on odds board -2 matchups -2 t20's -3 outrights (33/1, 80/1, 80/1) -Sleeper, 3 FRP -2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor opens his podcast with enthusiasm over Aldrich Potgieter's dramatic win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. At just 20 years old, Potgieter emerged victorious in a five-hole playoff against Max Gray Sherman and Chris Kirk. Doctor notes he had picked Potgieter pre-tournament at 125-1 odds, resulting in a monumental gain of 125.8 units that flipped his season from -72.9 to +52.8 units. Potgieter's rounds of 62-70-65-69 highlighted both brilliance and resilience, especially his Saturday bogey-free 65 that earned him a two-shot lead. Despite criticism that most birdies came on the front nine, Doctor praises his short game, particularly ranking fifth in strokes gained around the greens in round three and gaining over a stroke total in that category. Chris Kirk, a six-time PGA Tour winner, had a promising start with back-to-back 65s. Despite dealing with recent game struggles and nearly withdrawing from the U.S. Open, he performed well and missed chances to win with two putts inside 16 feet on 18, in both regulation and the playoff. Max Gray Sherman impressed with birdies on two of his final three holes to make the playoff, including a 35-foot birdie on 16. Though he missed several putts in the playoff, Sherman's calm demeanor and improved ball striking stood out, crediting his caddy Adam Barmer. Doctor sees Sherman as a strong future contender. Doctor critiques Twitter pundits who downplayed Potgieter's Saturday round and emphasizes the significance of the playoff diversity: a 20-year-old, 30-year-old, and 40-year-old competing. He applauds CBS's emotional broadcast moments, such as shots of the players' fathers during the finale. Other notable performances included Will Gordon saving his PGA Tour card, Monday qualifier Brett White making the cut, and rising stars like Michael Thorbjornsen and Jackson Suber getting in the mix. He recaps bets: Potgieter's win was the headline; Champ and Sherman top-20 picks also cashed. Picks that failed included Stephen Jaeger, who struggled with his worst driving week in 25 starts, and Lee Hodges, who fell from contention with a poor third round. As he pivots to the John Deere Classic, Doctor emphasizes traits needed at TPC Deer Run—bombers off the tee, sharp wedge play inside 125 yards, and strong putting on bentgrass. He notes the course has the ninth-widest fairways on Tour, making driving accuracy less critical but not to be ignored. He analyzes top players: passes on Ben Griffin due to fatigue, but likes Jason Day for a top-10 finish citing strong approach stats from 125-150 yards. He dismisses Denny McCarthy at 28-1 due to recurring poor third rounds, weak approach metrics, and no PGA wins. JT Poston is faded for weak iron stats despite being a past Deere champion. Si Woo Kim is heavily criticized—missed cuts, poor putting, and negative recent stats. Doctor proposes betting Jason Day over Si Woo Kim and two other Kim fade matchups. Doctor's top pick is Michael Thorbjornsen at 33-1, citing elite driving (2nd on tour), strong recent finishes, and solid putting. Thriston Lawrence is his second outright at 80-1, noting improved ball striking and three top finishes in recent events, including T12 at Oakmont. Cam Champ, also at 80-1, rounds out the outrights. Champ has been positive in all stat categories the last two weeks and historically played well at Deer Run. Other bets include Jackson Koivun over Quade Cummins, Jason Day top 10 (+225), Champ top 20 (+320), and Thorbjornsen top 20 (+137) as the best bet. Doctor offers three first-round top-10 picks: Thorbjornsen, Pearson Cootie, and Champ. He concludes with two DFS lineups and predicts the winning score at -23.
