Summary

It’s the first of two international match play weeks at the Shotgun Start, which will lead to some unorthodox record times. But first Andy and Brendan begin this Solheim Cup week with some cleanup over a disastrous Monday Night Football game for the Browns and Justin Fields outright questioning his coaching. Then they get to the Solheim Cup and USA Captain Stacy Lewis publicly expressing her disappointment over the lack of commitment to co-promote or capitalize on the Solheim and Ryder Cups in consecutive weeks in similar parts of the world. This leads to a lengthy discussion on whose duty it would be to do such a thing and also how rights deals are stripping the networks bare. Then there’s some amusing intel on the quirk and, um, underwhelming aspects of this random Spanish venue choice. It does not sound like it will be fun for fans to get around but there may be some interesting TV. Looking ahead to next week, we already have our first game within the game for the Ryder Cup, and it involves Jon Rahm. News touches on Tiger Woods’s new restaurant, what he likely calls his new partner Justin Timberlake, and whether Andy and Brendan should go to the establishment next week in New York.

0:00.0	Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of set up 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.
0:14.0	And here we go.
0:17.0	All right, all right, all right.
0:21.0	Get your men, start your engine!
0:38.0	Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday edition of the shotgun.
0:40.0	Start it is September 20th. Andy, how are we doing?
0:44.0	Brendan, I'm doing great. I'm back in the shed after a week on the road. It's nice to be here. I got to ask you, how are you doing?
0:55.0	I'm good. I'm great. We are off schedule here again this week with the Solheim Cup being a little funky overnight scheduling and going to be the way that way next week.
1:07.0	We're going to be coming probably every day, late in the week, but we're going to release Friday after we get our eyes on some matches from Finka, Cortizen, which I have ample or enough, not ample.
1:21.0	I've got enough detail on that venue that we need for later in our Solheim Cup discussion.
1:27.0	So we'll watch some matches from that on Friday. That'll be like a midday Friday release, get you into the weekend, kind of pointless to send you something Thursday night or Friday morning after matches are ongoing.
1:38.0	So we have a late Wednesday recording here too.

1:44.0	Yeah, that's what I wanted to fill a buster in you away from that.
1:48.0	I was really disappointed that we weren't going Tuesday didn't get a Tuesday morning reaction after Monday night.
1:57.0	How do you feel on one day removed?
2:00.0	I mean, I feel like perspective wise, I feel terrible for Nick Chubb whose career could be over on a unequivocally dirty hit, dirty cheap shot hit by which is part and parcel with the Steelers franchise.
2:17.0	It was a dirty hit. I know there's some tough guys on Twitter who are saying this is football and you get like there's other tough guys who did play football.
2:27.0	It was a cheap shot at Chubb's leg who was wrapped up up top.
2:33.0	You know, Safansky, you can tell the Cleveland beat reporters are just out on him. They've had enough week two of year, whatever it is.
2:41.0	You know, the Steelers didn't want to play inside the 30 yard line. They somehow won.
2:47.0	They started the fourth quarter, down three, gained negative seven yards in the quarter and won the game.
