so we had a major over the weekend I don’t know if you watched any of this if you were consuming the content that took place perhaps perhaps not but Bryson D Shambo gets the win woohoo you’re excited no well he won the US Open wrapped up on Sunday in North Carolina second time the second time with the best shot of his life for the win oh my 18th hole Pinehurst uh number too and if you’re a golf nerd you you know what I’m talking about people reminisce about this and say oh can you believe the shot that he made but a dagger an absolute dagger the Roy maroy in the final hour or so as the crow flies D Shambo wrapping up putting the bow on the package there up and down all around and from 55 yards out of a buker a 4 foot par putt ends up at 1 over 71 ends up winning the championship as Roy mroy had been in position as the final day of the major went along there in Pinehurst North Carolina there the golfer that made headlines in the Tablo recently Roy maroy because of a divorce and then he said psych just kidding not getting divorced and now he said Psych like I’m going to win the US Open no I am not no I am not so let us discuss the question did Bryson D Shambo win the US Open or did Rory mooy gag it away so I’ve got eat your veggies froggy and scrubba dubdub and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to make a migraine headache which I pretty sure pretty sure that Roy maroy had a migraine headache here so the the question did Bryson D Shambo win the open or did Rory maroy lose the open that is what’s known as a rhetorical question it’s rather obvious here uh while it was a roller coaster ride and D Shambo did have the lead at the start of the tournament the final round at Pinehurst even with that uh as someone who is a casual Observer of the product I am not a regular customer of the product I am not uh but as someone who’s a casual Observer make no mistake about it okay what we know you and I both know a pratfall when we see a pratfall and Roy maroy got a first class ticket first class ticket on the vomit Comet as the day progress there on Sunday he got off to a good start but you got to finish what you start you got to finish what you start and and he did not finish what he started and the the entire thing was like a PSA and I I know a thing or two about PSAs doing the overnight show a lot of PSAs right a lot of PSAs and this was a PSA saying hey eat your veggies now what do I mean by that pretty simple right pretty simple here when you think of the family of vegetables Roy mooy uh he ate his vegetables unfortunately he ate the artichoke that’s his favorite vegetable the art but a choke how bad was it maroy he had a two shot lead with five holes to play and then he missed not one but two putts within four yards well it’s not easy to putt yeah I know but you’re not a professional golfer and here’s the thing what do I always say there’s no such thing as momentum right there’s no such thing as momentum no such thing as momentum stats tell you what has happened not what’s going to happen this is a textbook example if you watched the events at Pinehurst you know exactly the number I’m about to give you because it tells you what has happened not what’s going to happen prior to Rory maroy clanking the first of the two failed punts he was 496 out of 496 putting inside 3 feet this season on the PGA tour and then he did the thing you can’t do at the time you can’t do to it now near the end uh maroy watched D Shambo winning the tournament he watched it on a monitor looked like they were taping an episode of that prankster show where they’re to watch the Monitor and tell tell the people doing the prank what to do next and all that but he watched from the scores room and then sped away more on that uh coming up as the streak continues now for Roy maroy as he ends now almost a 10 year closing in on a decade since a major championship and as you know in golf nobody pays attention to the Waste Management Open it’s all about the majors there’s four of those a year and that’s it all right now page two we cross over dribble now to the endb now when we last spoke in a previous episode of the show we were anticipating that we were going to have the the season end by the time we got back there’d be no more finals games that was it but expect the unexpected in Pro bouncy ball it did not end on Friday night it did not Scott Foster was brought in he worked his magic there Scott Foster the extender of course it really wasn’t a case of Scott Foster having anything to do with the outcome of that game if you saw any part of that game and I did while I was eitting fedini Alfredo on Friday I was watching the game and the the way the the game played out on Friday there was an absolute Dallas Molly whopping of Boston now the conspiratorial side of me would say well wait a minute here did somebody from Big basketball call the Celtics and say boys take the night off here we’ll have you win on Monday night back home we need an extra game on Monday night but sure enough whether that happened or not there will be a game five on a Monday night at at the Garden there the par in Boston now following the this what I want to get to so following the win Kyrie Irving said Luca donic made a few people eat their words with his performance in game four the Mavs get the blowout win there a historical win for the basketball team from Texas and a historical loss for the Celtics so is that how you see it though that the part where Kyrie Irving said that Luca made a few people eat their words so uh there was no word eating that took place I I I talked to several people who were critics not a single one of them ate any words bad job yet another failed take by Kyrie we’re going to throw the yellow laundry on the field here on this particular T that’s a false start penalty premature bad job by you and we’ll mark off the five yards we’ll replay the down shame on you Kyrie that is a foolish overreaction last I checked the Boston Celtics are still up three games to one Maybe I’m Wrong maybe that win was worth like three or four games I thought it was only worth one uh and just keeping it real here cuz why not what else can we do uh looking at this here oh overreaction overreaction Luca donic is the headliner is that right am I doing good so far he’s the headliner he’s the big baffo Sako star who has often had a froggy in his throat in the NBA Finals am I am I wrong on that disappearing for stretches in the second half failing to get it done in the fourth quarter the first three games horrific numbers in the fourth quarter no defense he’s a designated hitter he does not play defense does not believe in that foul trouble uh and complaining nonstop thinking the world’s out to get him because we all know in that business of basketball they always screw over the star players in the NBA they never give them a fair Shake never ever does a star player get the benefit of the doubt doesn’t happen so game five Celtics will wrap it up on a Monday night and then we can have their little parade the little duck po parade will be what Wednesday or Thursday of this week our last word we go to the Bay Area another story bubbling up recently in Pro bouncy ball why on God’s green earth did Klay Thompson why did Klay Thompson unfollow the warriors on social media people overreacting to this story as well we’re here for a measured response so why did Klay Thompson decide to unfollow the wars we know he’s going to be a free agent and is going to roam around the NBA and he’ll flirt with a bunch of different teams and see what happens and so uh it’s it’s fair to say though the this was a Act of hostility by Klay Thompson it was an act of hostility by Klay Thompson he sees the graffiti on the wall he would like to stay riding his boat to work in San Francisco he would like to continue that but he realizes the odds of that are not particularly good that the end is near and so when I say this is an act of hostility uh the war from what I’ve been told they have offered him a contract but it’s not what he wanted it’s it’s a you call it a lowball offer although for me I would think I won the lottery and you likely would think you won the lottery but if you’re Klay Thompson a player of that statue this is an offensive offer how dare you so he is doing the old scrubba dubdub and getting rid of all references to the warriors on social media good luck on that now we have read the book years ago we read the book idiots guide to athletes following teams on social media I recommend it’s good reading So based on that and just living life here and seeing what’s going on you edit you erase and you disassociate but you do that with a hostile Edge because really what Klay Thompson wants is he’s deputizing the fan base to raise a Hol Baloo he he wants the Warrior fans to do his bidding that if enough noise goes on social media media and radio shows and all all forms of media that you weaponize the fan base you put pressure on the Warriors front office to pay you more money to keep you around keep the band together even though the band hasn’t worked the last few years and that’s the way it goes
