We are joined this week by PGA winning golfer Andrew Novak who lodged his first PGA win and is gearing up for the US Open next weekend in Pennsylvania! He is filling in for Ro this week and immediately jumped into his 2nd place finish at the Heritage (and what happened on the putt that lost him the playoff with Justin Thomas) and a bit about his new podcast, Screenplay, which is all NFL.
ESPN's Power Index opened with Miami at #9, and a 30% chance to win the ACC - and while Toast feels it's a low number, Scoop thinks it's really high because Miami has never done it. That spins us into a conversation about how much we'll see the offense change this season compared to last year. And everyone has concerns about the wide receiver room except for Novak, and Scoop is buying in on Beck being "all football" this year.
Novak also talks about the reality that he'll be playing in the Open Championship in Ireland this year, and what it will take for him to make the Masters in 2026. Plus we round it out with Five Questions with Andrew Novak, including who we would turn to for help, the best celebration in sports, stuff we drag our wives to, whether it's harder to get an MLB hit or score an NHL goal, and what people should be fined for in society.
