Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.

And here we go.

All right, all right, all right.

Determine! Start your engine!

Greetings and welcome to a Monday edition of the shotgun start. It is January 23rd. Andy, how are we doing?

Brendan, we're back. I'm doing great. Just had a refreshing weekend and watched some golf, watched some football, you know.

Feel a little bit better about the bears watching, you know, some of the teams in the playoffs.

What are you talking about? The playoffs have been great. What are you talking about? You feel better about the bears?

Yeah. Oh, because the standard of play, you mean they're not scoring like the Cowboys Niners game that just ended before we're after we're recording this.

Yeah, I just, I think like, hey, listen, like look at the quarterbacks, like some of them are really great, but Brock Perdi's in the semi's.

Yeah, but I mean, if you're going to have a Brock Perdi, you got to make up for it elsewhere, like with Kyle Shanahan's, like literally, I mean, once in a generation kind of offensive mind,

like, we got, we get Matt Eberfluss with incredible, like weapons, like incredible, incredible weapons between McCaffrey and Kittle.

We don't need to do the whole football. I you can debug all these things. We beat the 49ers.

You can't just say one that's a home, whatever was overrun by water, right? Right? Just a little slip and slide.

I don't even know. That was a football game. That was preposterous. And we almost beat the Eagles. That's like Terrell hadn't called it a monthly medal of PGA. That's barely football, whatever happened with that bears game, but football minute here on Monday. If I think it's like the NFL, obviously, they just, they just have so many great teams. There's all these teams could win it.

Like, they're all very good big markets. I don't know. It's just like exciting as it feels like the four best teams are in as a somewhat jaded sports fan. Like, I am very enthusiastic and excited to watch NFL football every weekend. I know that's not like a hot take.

But I wouldn't say it unless I mean, they just they they are on a hot streak. It's really good. They have all the best markets, best teams, best players like advancing. There's no flutes. There's no garbage. I don't know. It's good. In my opinion, I got a good conference championship day.

Did you find out where Jim Nance would be broadcasting Saturday's Torrey Pines from?

You like that little pop golf week?

Are you watch the NFL games this weekend to find out where I wasn't going to watch it. But now I will just so I know where Jim Nance will be this week.

This coming weekend. We got a quick turnaround. You know, Wednesday started Torrey Pines. But yeah, Jim Nance will be. Are we going to do a Tuesday episode?

I don't know. We missed Friday. Sorry. You're on the road. I was under the weather. We just didn't come together. We're going to do a little extra makeup golf advice to show to make up for it. But I think he's going to be it.
