Digest

Colin Cowherd begins the show by discussing the US Open golf tournament, highlighting the drama of Rory McIlroy's collapse and Bryson DeChambeau's win. He expresses his support for golfers who left the PGA tour for the LIV tour, arguing that they were taking advantage of a financial opportunity. He then transitions to the WNBA, discussing the controversy surrounding Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese's interactions on the court. Cowherd compares the situation to Bryce Harper's early days in Major League Baseball, suggesting that Clark is facing a similar 'pay your dues' mentality from the league. He argues that the media is overreacting to the situation and that the players themselves are handling it well. Cowherd then moves on to the NFL, discussing Aaron Rodgers' absence from mandatory minicamp and Trevor Lawrence's contract extension.

Cowherd then turns his attention to the Cowboys, discussing the potential contract extensions for Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons.
