Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge.

0:12.4

It is going to be a great, great Monday.

0:15.7

A lot to talk about.

0:16.9

We're only Charles Woodson days away from NFL season.

1:28.4

Put your favorite number 24 in the chat. I'll tell you what, this is not my favorite recap screen that we're going to show you from Friday and a little bit from earlier in the week. I hit my golf bet. Golf's been humming for me a little bit, but overall, this recap screen, listen, it's just bad. Three and nine, three wins, nine losses. There were a couple here that are a little tricky. The Mike Trout first played appearance. That one absolutely should have won. A couple of close calls. Chip Patterson's play, he loses by one. Maybe the suspension of play contributed to that. But we got to do better. We've had some really good recap screen. So I think we can afford a bad one, but we never want to see three and nine. So we got to flip the script a little bit here on a Monday, and we've got the team to do it. Mike McClure, Danny Brasco, prop stars. Listen, I want to talk NFL with Danny and maybe some UFC with day. I want to talk NFL with prop stars and some baseball. But Mike, I got to start with you. I mean, this is just my soapbox. Like, forgive me, indulge me for a second. I had a good golf week. I hit all three of my round matchups. I hit my tournament play from the early wedge. Went one for two in the finishing positions with a lot of plus money there. However,

1:33.7

I had Tommy Fleetwood first round leader, and he was one back, right? And then I had Tommy Fleetwood in the without market and the early wedge, Mike, which I know you missed yesterday

1:37.8

morning, but I got on JJ Spawn as a hedge play. The only guy that could sink me yesterday

1:43.8

was Justin Rose and he comes out

1:46.5

of nowhere and wins. Your reaction to Tommy, it's a choke, right? He's a choke artist, right? I don't

1:52.5

mean to be a jerk here, but like, wow, that was pretty bad. It was not good. You know, look,

1:58.6

he's got the narrative that he can't close, that he can't win. And while that is,

2:02.5

that's been true to this point, you've still, if you've been backing him maybe potentially

2:07.9

in a top 20, top 10, even a top five market, you've found ways to be profitable on him.

2:13.3

Look, I think that it's just so difficult to go win golf tournaments.

2:17.6

I certainly wouldn't call him a clutch golfer at this point.

2:20.9

I think to say that, you know, just a complete choke artist, I personally don't agree with

2:27.7

it because he's consistently playing top tier golf to be in a position to have an opportunity

2:32.7

to win.

2:33.7

Yeah.

2:34.2

You know, it's not like an individual sport.

2:36.9

It is an individual sport, but it's not something where you just, it's easy to get to
