  1. Looked up Riggs on GHIN and he’s posting rounds in the 70s and low 80s… what’s the point of having a GHIN if you’re going to lie about scores? I’d bet my life Riggs couldn’t break 87 if he played ball in hole and real golf rules

  2. LIV golf baby, going to get bigger and bigger…watch out when the big brands start buying teams like NIke, Addidas etc..will become like IPL cricket..

  3. the funniest thing about Riggs whole rant was saying him and Frankie are a 5/6 handicap 😂

  4. Riggs just dominating Dan about LIV. Dan you on the PGA payroll?? there was a lot more to the event than the party hole. Maybe attend the event before mouthing off..

  5. Hot take:
    If you guys are complaining about too much math in sports statistics you shouldn't be calling people stupid for not knowing how handicaps work.

  6. Rappaport is a great reporter and brings out great takes from everyone else too. Completely agree that LIV should fill that “F1 style” role and go to major cultural hubs around the world. THAT would actually make them rival PGA tour from a relevance standpoint.

  7. Riggs….you post stuff online….people will always criticize….stop caring so much or pick a different profession man haha it's not that serious.

  8. Huge fan! Handicap police can suck it.

    Just purchased some merch! A Rochester native, so excited for the PGA to come back here.

    If you happen to have the time, I’m the owner of Fore Putts Sake, an indoor virtual golf range with 5 Golfzon simulators. Would be happy to reach out via email if you felt like stopping in.

  9. to all the viewers that complained about dan joining the pod…
    how do you feel about frankie endlessly talking about the islanders?

  10. Anyone have a time stamp on the breaking 90 talks? I haven’t heard anything about it for awhile.

  11. These pga fan boys know how to pull out the negative things lol 😂 it was a big success for liv golf in Australia

  12. Argument for LIV in Australia would seem OK based on the last event.
    However, consider that they've been starved for pro / exhibition golf and makes you question if more events there would become stale?
    Seems like the rarity gives it more interest, similar to how the Masters is only once a year.

  13. Australian golf has not had the money to afford to pay the best golfers in the world. Norman set the standard in the 90's by charging over $250,000 to come home and play a tournament. Greed over promoting the game

  14. LIV had to turn a profit in Adelaide? I doubt they are hemorrhaging money for that event, all expenses included. Next year will be even larger. Their State PM is fully on board and even at the press conferences answering questions…unlike Monahan. lol

  15. This is the problem with the Iowa play. If football and soccer, you can pop the ball above everyone's head. In hockey, you can do that as well, but it's not easy when the defense is standing over you – the defense can just stay at the blue line and prevent anyone from popping the puck up. And if it gets blocked then you have one schmo who's in the offensive end and can't get back on defense. Also, in hockey you're never not moving – so it's not like you're going to be flat-footed. The defense is already skating backwards.

  16. Only 3 players in the NHL have won the Conn Smythe in back to back years (Bernie Parent, Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby) all playing for Pennsylvania based NHL teams

  17. In the mental health community I think they call this “projecting”. Riggs really can’t move on from not being a legit “5”

  18. "Riggs' Rants" is becoming one of my favorite segments. If you run golf tourneys on a regular, you feel his pain.

  19. The stats discussion in NBA is even more bizarre, now with this play in tournament they have for 6th to 10th place, those stats don't count for regular season or post season stats, the literally just get thrown away, completely agree Frankie, that your career total should encompass everything you achieved

  20. Riggs lived thru the Habs with Kenny Dryden my bruins had a great team I think they had record for having 11 20 goal scores and Kenny was the best I have seen since 1967 when I was 10 and started watching sports

  21. I really want to see more alternate shot videos! Let’s get some more golf videos going 🎉

  22. I love the Leafs literally just as much as Frankie loves the Islanders and I do not own a single leafs jersey. So I don’t rlly agree with Frankie’s point rhat the wearing a Jersey specifically as all part of being a fan, it’s just some ppl like to and other don’t. I kinda thinks it’s silly to wear a jersey but that’s just me.

  23. So I mainly came to this channel for the Trent Breaking 90 series. Did they just completely stop that? I feel like that got the most views and was an awesome series.

  24. Can’t agree with you with the playoff stats, Frankie. Think about Mike Trout in baseball. We all know he’s been the best player in baseball the last 10 years, hasn’t played in the playoffs. Reputation can come from playoffs, but you can’t do stats.
