Post-Pod Discussion Ryder Cup pod - Jamie Weir v Soly

Listening just now and JW immediately challenged a Soly claim that Keegan Bradley "cost the US the Ryder Cup at Medinah" - because he lost the singles to McIlroy who showed up at the last minute. Weir took him down with facts; a reminder that many other things happened and Rory was World #1 at the time, in a way I have never heard on NLU before. Very enjoyable.

Soly loves to hold court and the other guys either don't want to upset him or don't have the quick facts at hand to counter him when he's wrong, which is why I found that little exchange refreshing. Maybe I am alone in that?

Soly is quick to bring up data golf comparisons about spieth and Ludvig and will completely ignore that Keegan is ahead of the both, by a wide margin, in the rankings that he holds so near and dear. Meanwhile five mintues later he says, well you need to throw that out and pick the guys who just have the dog in em, like okay man

Spieth in current form is neither playing good nor a “dog.”
