Summary
It’s Victory Monday! Andy and Brendan delight in their teams’ Sunday success before looking ahead to the highly anticipated Bears-Browns clash this coming week.

The second half is Part 5 of The 2023 Year in Review, picking up with Andy playing Augusta National, the RBC Heritage week, an amusing never-before-told Bob Parsons story, and closing out with the Byron Nelson.
