Hail Mary Monday, JT’s close call in Japan, and international scheduling
Description
This episode is a Victory Monday like no other, as Andy's Bears lost on a true Hail Mary as time expired against Brendan's (adopted) Commanders. Brendan is so excited that he got the yips on opening the episode, leading Andy to introduce the show. Andy, still in disbelief at the loss, recaps his weekend, calling the Bears the worst coached team in football and explaining where he was for the end of the game. The two laugh at the fan-shot video of Bears corner Tyrique Stevenson taunting fans before tipping the ball into Noah Brown's hands for the win, but Andy takes solace in the fact that the Bears won the second half. PJ is asked to recap the Jets-Patriots game, as the Jets dropped their fifth straight game. The Jets managed to find a new rock bottom, losing to former Browns QB Jacoby Brissett, New England's backup. Speaking of Browns quarterbacks, Jameis Winston led the Browns to a big divisional win over the Ravens, leading all NFL passers on Sunday in yards, something that Cleveland hasn't seen much of this year. There is golf discussed on this episode, as Nico Echavarria won the Zozo overnight, holding off Justin Thomas in the final group. Andy and Brendan discuss a promising finish for JT, a potential breakout for Echavarria, and the future of a Japan stop for the PGA Tour with the Zozo contract expiring. Next, they talk through Ben An beating Tom Kim in a playoff in the Genesis Championship in South Korea, giving props to An for his success on the PGA Tour without a win yet. Brendan is in on the LPGA's Race to CME, a season-long standing that's tightening up after Ruoning Yin's win in Kuala Lumpur. To close this episode, it's a lengthy Champions Tour Minute as the field is set for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Phoenix. PJ sets the stage for his trip out west, where a club pro from Long Island has secured full status on the PGA Tour Champions for next year after a strong performance in Arkansas.
