SMQBs Episode 272: Golf, Grit, and Global Goals
Episode 272! The guys are back with a heavy focus on the US Open and a mid-tournament World Cup update that has everyone on the edge of their seats. Between Wyndham Clark’s polarizing victory at Shinnecock and the US Men’s National Team making waves by winning their group early, there’s no shortage of drama to dissect. The energy is high as the crew debates everything from legendary soccer “B teams” to the gritty reality of a potential MLB work stoppage.
One of the standout moments of the episode involves a deep dive into Wyndham Clark’s grit. Despite being “maligned” by the public and facing some serious heat from the New York galleries, Clark managed to channel that negativity into his second US Open title. The guys also share some truly touching “lasso” moments from Father’s Day on the course, including 17-year-old Miles Russell surprising his dad on the 18th fairway. You won’t want to miss the discussion on Clark’s father showing up unannounced, which nearly gave Bison a heart attack, thinking it was a jinx.
The soccer talk gets even more intense as House and the gang look ahead to the knockout stages. With superstars like Messi and Ronaldo potentially facing off in Kansas City, the stakes for international soccer in the US have never been higher. Plus, stay tuned for some “breaking news” during the pod about Trey Young’s massive deal with the Wizards and a fiery “punch” delivered to a minor league baseball team for a controversial forfeit. Tune in to hear the full breakdown of why this might be the best the US soccer team has ever looked.
