It's Major time again and this year it's back at Old St. Andrews.

First of all I call it the British because only an arrogant wanker wouild refer to their Major simply as The Open.

That aside the major news of course is Rory tore up his ankle playing soccer and will not be defending his title.

It's a shame as it would have been fun to see Jordan Speith and Rory go at it.

So who ya got this week?

The word is the course is very green after much rain and scores could be very low.

Really wanted to go to this tourney... the British is the only major I haven't been to and going to St. Andrews would be so awesome.

 

I think Spieth has a real shot at this tourney, but as much as I'd like it, if he does win this week the pressure on him would be SO high to win the PGA I seriously doubt he can pull the grand slam.  Would love it tho...

I love The Open Championship. The Old Course is obviously iconic. Reading the same thing as KG, the course is going to play easy for these guys. Could see some super low scores.

I've picked Spieth in both majors thus far, but I'm having a hard time this week. I think he does well, but someone else takes it.

I worry that playing the J Deere put Speith at a bit of a jet lag disadvantage.  Many of the guys went over a week earlier.  Course he is young and might not bother him at all.

Fowler did well this past weekend, but I think he will choke again.

Phil and Tiger, well, seems the game has passed them up

Dark Horse -- Sergio Garcia

I am pulling for Speith, but would not mind seeing Dustin Johnson pull it out with a clutch birdie put for some redemption.

 

Having Speith win the Grand slam could make for a historic year.

 

Serena could win the Grand Slam in tennis, Speith could win the Grand Slam in golf, and we already have a Triple Crown winner. Pretty amazing if you think about it.

Fowler does seem to be full of confidence though and could be big this week.

This is Tom Watson's last Open at St Andrews... you know, I wouldn't count him out the way he's played it the past few years... he's got 5 British Open wins, he knows how to play this course and if it's setup fairly easy and the players are scoring, old Tom might just have a shot...

If this course is soft and green it will give the field a chance to fire at pins..........

Which is not the game Tom wants to play. I'll be rooting for him but don't think he has a chance to win.

Hopefully he makes the cut.

I expect Watson to be towards the top a day or two. Tough for him to keep it up 4 straight days though.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      Brother you've been WR driven for going on almost two decades now.  No need for us to discuss further.

      First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.

      Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.
