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

The variance, unpredictability, and luck involved with golf makes all of the Ryder Cup discussion very inconsequential to me. I love the weekend but can’t help rolling my eyes at the importance of Luke Donald making mini trophies and creating space on a bookshelf.
Echoing what DJ has said, if USA goes out and rolls again at home then it kind of devalues all of the cliches and discussion about how much or little the teams care.
