Our two overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you more ways to play your game your way. Already through two weeks of the NFL season. We're a week away from Major League Baseball in the playoffs starting up, which is crazy. And we got the President's Cup down in Chicago at Medina this year. Not loving the chances of the international team, not gonna lie to you.
Uh it'll be interesting to see If the international team gets smoked. This roll app I don't think he messes around and I could see him pulling the plug on it and just saying, Sorry, gang Really? Just get rid of the whole event? Dude, maybe like it's just if they're not gonna be competitive and they they haven't won one since like ninety four. Which might have been the first time they had it. And who knows if these American players are in his ears saying, You know what? Like every single year we have a team event and it's getting a little bit tiresome. 'Cause they got year after year it staggered. Ryder Cup International, Ryder Cup, President's Cup, and it's like I don't know.
I don't know the five. The only thing I would say is this is owned and operated by the PGA. So they're making all the money off of it. And that's like 'cause I think the Ryder Cup, I don't know who runs and operates the Ryder Cup. I don't think it's the Tour. It's the R and A, is it not? Um USGA, I believe. And like the majors are not run by the PGA. You know, they have the the events. Obviously week to week on tour, but Yeah, I mean at some point the international team's got to put up a fight. That's the reality. Like they they just don't have the talent really to compete. And I can't imagine it's gonna start this week, but uh we'll see. We'll track that later in the week. Travis Green coming up in about uh twenty five minutes.
Mike Johnson will join us here in a moment. The uh Leafs just, you know, continue to practice and prepare for a split squad games tomorrow night. And then that's it. Yeah. They play tomorrow night, split squad in Ottawa and in Toronto, and then we'll see you next Tuesday. And it's quick.
It'll be interesting to see who they send on the road and keep at home. And I was wondering, do you send McK McKenna on the road and give him a first taste of a road game as opposed to just a couple you know fluffier home games type of thing. Like I'd like to see you know, s not adversity, but just different looks for, you know, the y young kid, but maybe in maybe yeah, I'm doing the game in Ottawa, right? So I don't know. I would I
think you're onto something. I I would probably send them, but then you gotta send Tavaros and Willie and those two will not be ecstatic about that.
Dude, come on, man. A day trip to Ottawa and you're back in your bed at night? What are we talking about? I don't know. I think it's like
spring training now. Like events just don't go on the road. Like we're not leaving. I'm in Dunedin for the next twenty eight days. And then we fly to Toronto. That's how I operate. That's how I operate.
I mean, but I I just look at it, I think those guys I I would like to see them send a a team a squad on the rope. Sure. Instead of sending the the scrub squad type of thing.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing McKenna there and like I I will say like Jim Hillary's speaking every day. I have not Really had a A comment from him that is that has stood out. And I'm wrapping my head around on whether or not that's a good thing or not. Like it you know, and and Barube wasn't Mr. Quotes either, but he was a larger than life hockey personality. You know, Craig Barube.
Whatever it might be that it just takes off, you know?
Right. But like I I was talking on with Jay last night about Babcock and how he has just sucked up all the oxygen in Edmonton. Like of what I've noticed anyway. I'm sure it's different in that town, but all I see is Babcock. Like that's all it is. Is what is Babcock saying? What's he doing? Hey, he's skating around. Hey, he's up in the stands. He went for lunch today. Like, I'll guess whether or not. Well guess who
they're not talking about? They're not talking about Tristan Jari.
