It’s a beefy Friday episode, as Brendan is joined by Mr. Tron Carter of No Laying Up to discuss topics from across the world of sports. The show begins with Brendan picking Ball Knower Tron’s brain about his various football teams, with the two going back and forth about the state of the Falcons, Jaguars, Commanders, and Boston College, before transitioning into a discussion about the potential for private equity to invest in college football like it has with golf. This then leads the two to the big golf news of the week, Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s pairing at the Dunhill Links. Brendan and Tron recap Thursday’s round for the two, Rory McIlroy’s comments about a PGA Tour-PIF deal being wrapped up by year’s end, and Matt Fitzpatrick’s quotes about his belief that the DP World Tour should not have strategically partnered with the PGA Tour. With plenty of LIV players in the field at the Dunhill, Brendan then presents Patrick Reed’s latest musings, a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that Reed believes describes himself. From there, it’s a whiparound through the rest of the schedule, touching on 71-year-old Reed Hughes’ participation in the Sanderson, the Thursday round of the KFT Finals, and Tron’s apathy toward the Champs Tour, much to the dismay of Producer PJ. To wrap things up, Brendan and Tron get into some unsubstantiated rumors before answering a few Golf Advice emails, offering help on “golf penance,” a round with Ian Poulter, and some parenting issues.

TC!!!!! So many ways this can go!!
This is peak
TC !
PJ – please put a time stamp in the beginning of when the golf talk will begin. Last I checked this was a golf podcast & some people could not care less about the baseball & football talk
this is my superbowl!
I think TC needs a part time role at the FEG
The Poulter story is gold.
The PGA Tour is Initech…Monahan is Lumberg…the Bobs need to come in and clean house!
This was so awesome
The CFB super league that buffoon put forward is the worst idea to ever be proposed.
That’s the best positive after Fincham initially put the Fed Ex Cup over the great Euro Tour fall schedule & now it’s done over Labor Day – nice that maybe some people are now tuning in it’s been that way for years – be nice if Peacock was broadcasting them
the tandem we all needed
Golf Advice: 1. Tell the guy you forgive him for a lie he told as a 10 year old and advise him to forgive himself. 2. Confront the woman in the high chair? Doing so would be a very Larry David thing to do. Good idea not to go that route. 3. Of course you pick up your daughter. If you'd finished your round and messed up your score, you'd be bummed about two things and your wife and daughter would hold a diminished view of you. 4. Your round w/ Poulter didn't go well but sometimes the story about when everything went wrong is the best story.
I don’t get why a golf podcast uses like 10 minutes to talk about football , I guess you can do whatever you want because you’re not the golf channel
but I don’t think other sports podcasts talk about other sports for like 20 percent of it 😂
And Rex and lav talk about what they’re eating or what they’re going to eat … does anyone actually want to listen to that ?
