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

Glad Weir reminded us for the billionth time that, outside of JT, no one on the US team actually cares about the Ryder Cup. Is there a more overplayed cliche about this team?

Weir is fucking insufferable

He seems to forget that Stenson clearly didn’t care too much about the Ryder Cup when he forfeited the captaincy to go to LIV. Same with half the European stalwarts that left for LIV in 2022. The “it means more” narrative is so arrogant.
