Euros were always going to win, cracks me up how all of this podcast was so fucking stupid picking USA…golf knowledge is severely lacking at times. Classic naive yanks, arrogant and once again proven to be completely over rated
Frankie tell us about how very wrong you were once AGAIN
Riggs making excuses for zach Johnson poor leadership shows how lacking Riggs is. Don't pick these guys if you're not going to vet them properly
Regarding commercials: I had to pay like 25 dollars to watch Ryder Cup (got access to the network for a month though). That means no commercials, and I think Sky Sports is the same. Seems like this isnt as common in the US?
Hahahaha well done lads, you deserve so much credit for a “30 minute window” where it looked like you had a chance. You planks
Wtf is that moron talking about? If Joey was in the right, as a caddie, to get in Rory's space as he tries to tie the game at the 18th, continues to talk back as Rory prepares his putt after being told to give him space, then why have a code of conduct at all? Caddies should just constantly be a nuisance before every putt, and be the most obnoxious prick possible.
A caddie should never be in that situation, but when emotions run high it's unavoidable, but it's completely unacceptable to talk back and argue with a player, after being asked to back away from the hole.
Being a homer is one thing, but think for one second. I guess journalists want the world to burn to get a scoop, but that was completely unacceptable. At least make it between the players.
Not selecting Bryson, who is in the best form of his life and who is always useful in 4 ball games regardless because of his drives, is just a massive mistake.
This DP World live stream was OUTREAGEOUS. So bad.
It portrayed the US team terribly (given they came across very douchy in 2021 already… so there is pre-text).
Nevertheless, LaCava was obviously out of line.
But how on earth can a live stream do everything but NOT capture atmosphere and the competition itself well?
Had Shane Lowry going to the bathroom on the screen when Tommy almost shot an all deciding HOI. Ridiculous.
I literally thought u guys had Justin Thomas as a guest!! Frankie in that outfit looked just like JT!!!! Holy shit!
Great Podcast guys but c'mon guys all the 🤬 really!!! Had to switch off loads of times as my kid can hear all the 🤬
I think Rickie just didn't want to putt his 5 footer before Fleetwood. He rather concede than miss.
Homa was amazing this RC. But your views and points on Lacava is so wrong. It’s not cool, wasn’t even decent shithousery like reed/Rory. This was too aggressive, uncalled for. Riggs get a grip and see it from the other side. It isn’t hockey, it isn’t football, two contact and aggressive sports. Poor from such an experienced Caddy. Just pickup the bag and wave your hat after Rory misses not before.
Frankie washing JTs balls & stiff shaft right til the end🤣…. What a mistake, skipping the cap I mean!😂…. I think he had sunstroke and couldn’t understand they got demolished!!
Dewey gets a win on team Europe. What a pro
Does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to why I just wanna punch Dan Rap in the face?🤷🏼♂️
I watched 30+ hours and not a single commercial..NOT ONE! Norway. The US is nothing but commercials..
Blame the US players. They knew the pairings weeks in advance. And what about Wyndham Clarkes comment saying the European players may get fatigued 😂. Fact is the European main guys produced the goods whereas the US main guys didn't do anything. Europe has arguably 3 of the best players in the world. Also LaCava was wrong and needs to know his place on the golf course, the fact that you defend his actions is asinine.
I can see the fans in new york going too far but i hope not
ZJ was absolutely the worst captain we have ever had. The fact he didn't try to mix things up after not winning a single point on day 1. if JT is the heart and soul… split his ass up with someone else…
Joe may be “just a caddy” but he’s as involved just as much as anyone and deserves the right to cheer for and defend his guy. Even if it is Patrick Cantlay.😂😂😂
Rory need an enforcer like Fino on his bag. Joe would be spitting chiclets
Any chance Barstool Sports teams up with Europe’s Sky Sport Golf and stream the upcoming Ryder Cup at Beth Page Black in 2025 for American viewing?
Such a bollocks USA angle to look at things like it was a dead ryder cup until la cava started acting like a touchy little child and got flustered by some banter. Like as if it was only good there after because USA showed any emotion? How about the fact you were utterly dominated on the golf course due to the teams, course set up, manager approach. La cava isnt a heroe he came across like someone who doesnt get prodded at much .
The USA had a team that would’ve won on home soil, but they made a mistake not picking the right players for the away team, like Patrick Reed ! How awesome would it have been this weekend if Patrick Reed was there?
TV coverage from Australia was fantastic, basically zero commercials, saw every shot, USA..what a dump
JT and Spieth shouldn't have played three matches together. They both were garbage. Keegan would have played better than both of them. Colin also sucked. Captain picks went 4-12! Zach will be remembered as the worst captain ever.
Imagine saying nothing was there unless a stupid hat brought juice to the cup. Maybe the “dream team” getting dusted is some juice
Concession take is way off, Fleetwood needed to 2-putt, minimum, from 3ft to halve the hole. Would have made his match dormie 2-up with 2 to play. Which guarantees the 0.5 point Europe needed.
If Europe is bringing liv guys back they should give Henrick the captaincy back before giving Sergio one since they took away this one already
Koepka vs Rory would’ve been an awesome matchup! I think Koepka would’ve won. But, we’ll never know. Or Rahm vs Koepka 🤔
