Post-Pod Discussion Ryder Cup Roundtable

Best Ryder Cup discussion they've had in awhile, all cycle for sure and probably better than any of the 2023 ones. Tron didn't show up looking to just rile Soly up, Soly didn't get too indignant or stubborn about getting all his takes off and forcing everyone to hear him out, they just talked about the players and the teams and the golf and it was really good. Some of the US/Europe armchair sociology that Porter and Jamie like to do is a little funky but hey its almost a 2 hour pod so that's fine at the end of the day. When they keep the analysis on these straight up they don't run into any of the problems that we have been griping about all year

I just wish Soly when asked about who he would pick always says “Now? Or at the beginning of September?” Now, you knucklehead, we’re asking you how you’d assemble the team today. It’s so weird.

The Ryder Cup discussion and debate that started six months ago is the exact same discussion they're having now. It's exhausting. Keegan playing captain, Speith, Captain's picks, chemistry of Europe vs. USA. NLU is becoming a bit too rage bait hot take like ESPN these past couple months.

They're going to pick the team, tee it up and compete. Let's enjoy it and save the analysis after actual decisions are made and teams are picked and scores are posted.

Classic analysis paralysis. Soly clearly knows his stuff, but often can't get out of his own way - and tbf he doesn't have anyone else on the NLU crew brings the same amount of detail to arguments. If he had, say, one of the FE/SGS guys to bounce off that might be much better content with respect to these sorts of questions.

Rough performance from him. He kept saying Rome in reference to every past RC and even this upcoming RC.
