This is the gold standard on the nation radio and on as being a radio presented by rocket mortgage by Quicken Loans the O'Reilly part studios filling in for Alex gold Here's John Michaels having a lot of fun tonight on s.b. Nation radio I got people texting me saying you're the Jacker as we were talking about the pickup basketball players we don't like and are you brought up a good one during the break one of the guys that you don't like to play with when you're playing pick up hoops Oh yeah the guy that thinks the well for us in Houston that the rockets are in attendance and they're watching his every move over on the corner need to sides that this game is when he's going to become patchy Beverly and just make his way on the team a nice slap on the floor on defense he's fighting for just about everything and it's like men at some point we're just here to have some fun to get some cardio in chill out a little bit you know we call him hustle man he's the guy that wants the you know you're diving for loose balls you know you're trying to reach in and strip like dude you don't need to lock me down on defense like that I get it we're all trying to win we want to keep the down we want to keep the run going there's like 3 people sitting Most likely you're going to get picked back up you know the rockets are not going to sign you're the Knicks Well the Knicks might side and that's a whole different story you'll muscle hard enough in a pick up game at the Rucker I'm going to tell you the Knicks might go out and sign you because they missed on every other free agent or they've overpaid for a bunch of bums and that's why the Knicks of stunk for so many years if you play hard in one of those scenarios that might be a spot where you get picked up at your local l.a. Fitness in Houston or Atlanta or l.a. Or wherever you may be I'm here to tell you there are no scouts in attendance if they are there in the on the other side getting their lift and they're not trying to sign you to a contract you're better off to go to one of those camps or something like that want to get into our Twitter poll is were having some fun and working into that time of the year where you know when August in the in the really the calendar turns to mid August in. It's football for us in sports radio obviously the baseball playoffs will take effect and will really pay attention to October and everything there but it really is football from now until February when the Super Bowl is over but this time of the year n.b.a. Is done free agency is kind of fizzling out the n.h.l. They have their like one and a half month off I don't guys like me at m.l.s. I'm a big Atlanta United fan so I do pay attention to the m.l.s. Team but it's not it's not must watch it must talk about every day it's I'll pay attention when a game is on in Atlanta United won by a lot today pay attention to that and then when they're not playing you know I really don't care what's going on but being a big sports fan as a lot of our listeners are if you're obviously if you listen to sports talk radio people have their patterns and we ask the question at s.b. Nation radio on Twitter this time of the year what are you paying attention to the most Is it baseball Is it media days in college football is it n.f.l. Training camps as they get ready to open or is it golf or tennis majors golf or tennis majors got 0 percent of the vote so for 0 not a single person has voted for that n.f.l. Camps only got 12 percent of the vote so far College Football Media Days 13 percent in baseball 'd is 75 percent what's interesting and I love to look at this from a national perspective as opposed to a Southeastern perspective which is where I live southeastern perspective we are 100 percent locked in on college football media days right now literally 7 hours from now I'll be driving to North Carolina to go to a.c.c. Media days n.f.l. Camps open we will dissect everything that happens at n.f.l. Camp even though us in the media we only get to watch you know a gay or 2 worth of training camp when they're open to the public a lot of the practices now are closed off for everybody so it's Ok great we got to watch some guy stretch and we're going to make a rip. Who would offer that we'll get to talk to some players afterwards and stuff like that but we're locked and loaded in the football what's interesting though is nationally people look at the games that are actually being played or baseball so a lot more people are watching baseball I will be watching the Open Championship this weekend producer Andrew back in the studio will you watch any 2nd of the golf tournament this weekend absolutely I probably will watch it live but I will watch some of it the only way I'll get up early is if Tiger Woods on Sunday and granted by the time if he tees off when he's in the lead he won't be off till like 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning so I have plenty of time to wake up that's the only way I'm waking up out of my normal sleep habits is to watch Tiger Woods he's the guy that got me to watch golf and it's interesting I was talking about earlier has Tiger taken too much time off Tiger has played 10 competitive rounds or year and we're already at the 4th major 10 competitive rounds and we're at the 4th major The change in the major set up this year has made it completely different because normally right now we play the open championship and then we have what another month and a half and it would be the p.g.a. Championship and then they have the torch championship in Eastlake which will still happen coming up in September but because golf realize are right by the time the p.g.a. Championship rolls around people are watching football people are not tuning into our sport the way that they normally did so they moved the p.g.a. Championship up well it's changed the playing habits of a lot of the players Tiger Woods and it was a great article on e.s.p.n. Since the Masters and he mentioned the masters took so much out of him he put so much grind in the offseason the coming back and winning another major championship and he got it done at Augusta that the rest of the time he's kind of taken time with his family he really wasn't ready for the p.g.a. Championship missed the cut there played Ok at the u.s. Open really was. Allie who I think he shot 6 under on his last 12 holes to catapult him up into the top 25 of the finish of the u.s. Open champion he was never in contention there was never a point to go Tiger's going to make a run that was done Thursday afternoon and he was out of contention the question is now kin Tiger do enough to draw fans in this weekend to watch golf like the Gulf of fish United will say look it doesn't matter of Tigers they're not. The casual guy like me or you riding around in your car or truck let's be real we pay attention to the story of Tiger Woods it's a train wreck that's gone on it's went from being you know the ultimate story of being the greatest golf champion of all time or arguably the greatest Jack still has all the major records so then you look at Ok everything personally that went down the train wreck that was Tiger the low points of being you know pulled over and arrested for being on medication to the great redemption that we love here in this country to back to winning a championship I think we all like to see him continue to win championships We'll talk to Chris Chaney coming up next what does he have to say about Tiger Woods and who does he think will win the Open Championship That's coming up next on espied a charade by the finest spring water this year has to offer Congo country water at 916621900 Gold Country water delivers 3 in 5 gallon handle bottle with to prove Captain coolers and with Gold Country water there's no deposit or set up charge and Gold Country water offers free home and office in every cold country water bring you the gold standard in product water delivery call today 906-604-9800 that's not one fix 64900 for Gold Country water women heart isn't a race to save lives heart disease is the number one killer of women it's 80 percent as in above if you know the facts millions of women are living with risk of different types of heart disease my case in which is a type of irregular heartbeat in a 6 month meaning and meaning when women with a set have a higher risk of stroke and death in a. Get educated see your doctor know the facts diet and exercise are key to staying healthy know the risks of women heart does something really unique or solely focusing on women and providing peer to peer support to win this race we all have to do it together. Hans be smart. To my mind this is hard. It's ready I'll meet you Gary in radio triggered my going to be on the famous radio production company me I know you're not being shipped is now creating wonderful radio commercials in the United States of America by legitimate if you don't hurt their radio spot for newspapers and ice cream beer telephones and Beer Well let me dollars going out on the almost all your company can have excellent radio commercials to telephone out of the old hall this radio station of the not ideal Mike Yeah they are called Hungry and radio.

One o 4.5 an am 950 chaos. You're listening to the gold standard on s.b. Nation radio and I think he said media presented by rocket mortgage by Quicken Loans from the O'Reilly auto parts studios filling in for Alex golden years John Michaels back here on asked me to nation radio John Michael filling in for Alex tonight we had out on the progressive insurance gas line Chris Cheney's golf writer for swing you you can follow him on Twitter at wrong underscore fairway Chris appreciate the time this evening I don't know about John thanks I have no problem that wrong underscore fairway that sounds like me on the golf course where did you come up with that for a Twitter name I just watched myself like kind of play around with you a lot of these back and forth holes and on I see myself coming from from the wrong throw it so sort of a golf ball called planting on Fairway seemed appropriate Open Championship going to be at Royal Portrush this week starting tomorrow obviously a lot of pomp and circumstance of the last tournament the last major of the year deal like the fact that they switched around the schedule this year and move the p.g.a. Championship up earlier in the year yeah it makes sense from a from a business standpoint the p.g.a. Tour 'd for the for the p.g.a. Championship think it's you get that p.g.a. Kind of out of that for slot in the lineup there and I think it may be a little bit weird for golf and the region and the interim but in the overall I think the long term it will be beneficial for golf and got away for college football professional focus on how do the players feel about this because you know it was normally Augusta early and then you get the p.g.a. To close at the u.s. In the British in between the players like the way to the this set up are they really not care. It's a little interesting you're seeing a lot of guys alter their schedules Justin Rose this week up at Port Russia actually was one of the 1st couple got one of the 1st eyes to. First unshaded the condensed schedule to saying we have these 4 majors 4 months apart as opposed to 5 it was always April with the Masters and we've gone through through August with the p.g.a. And now that we are wrapping it up here mid July he's saying for professional golfers it's tough for them to peak 4 times a year because when you're trying to do this it takes you more than one month in between you're seeing a lot of these guys who Tiger Shockley can play a lot of these these favorites this week who have not teed it up and will be less month so it's a little bit interesting it's it's it's affecting some of the lower lower tier p.g.a. Tour events last week at the John Kerry saw a weaker field you're seeing these guys taken issues are about so little bit more wisely as they're trying to kind of peaks against those core tournaments every year Chris a lot's been made of what Tiger Woods has done this year obviously winning the Masters huge hasn't really been in contention in any of the major since then an e.s.p.n. Had an article this week talking about his his lack of playing he's only played in 10 tournaments this entire year can he turn it on n.p.r. This week Yeah it's interesting with Tiger is that he seems to be taking pages out of the Ben Hogan comeback book and we get a lot of that with with what he's come back from whether the injury or scandal all that kind of brought in the one we're seeing we're seeing him take a lot of time off he played a bunch of the end of last year as he came back from World ranking deficit's there believe it or not he was he was not. Exempt into the us open last year prior to some solid early round play so he had to kind of bolster his schedule and now that he is back up in the world again he's got all these exemptions back on hers. It's interesting because we're seeing him play he's played 10 tournaments around the cut of the p.g.a. Had played memorial and as well as the u.s. Open last month coming into this coming into this port rush this week he hasn't played in about $32.00 days I believe so I think he's he's if we're going to doubt somebody was probably in the right to do it but it will be interesting to see how he looks come tomorrow morning Christian they are just right now in the Progressive insurance gas line we're talking British Open is that's going to get under way in the early hours tomorrow morning stay with Tiger for a moment is his game set up for this golf course. Yeah I think if we were being honest I think there's 2 to 2 majors that are going to consistently be to his benefit as we get into his mid to late forty's now and it's Augusta because he knows it so well and it's the British Open because he has such a tactician and as such a strong iron game he he's the best iron player that we've seen in this game period when I was driving it's kind of spotty depending. Great and I got there early that day for which was very obviously very very special but the iron game is always on point they just control is paramount and when
