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 honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
