Hosts Alex Kirshner, Ben Lindbergh, and Lindsay Gibbs discuss the brilliant (but boringly calm) Scottie Scheffler, who racked up yet another victory at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush. The hosts then welcome Front Office Sports writer Annie Costabile to examine the WNBA’s All-Star weekend. They also get into the MLB All-Star game’s swing-off finale.
\nOn the bonus episode available exclusively for Slate Plus members, the panel ranks their favorite and least favorite innovations in sports broadcasting.
\nScottie Scheffler (3:37): He loves The Office more than golf.
\nWNBA All-Star Weekend (21:42): How the players used their CBA leverage
\nThe Swing-Off (40:33): With great power comes great endings?
\n(Note: time codes are only accurate for Slate Plus members, who listen ad-free.)
