@Jared_Carrabis 100% rooting for any team a close family member/friend plays for during the time they are on that!

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Somedevil40Sox @MattMcCarthy985 It was. I’ve watched it a bunch. Zero blame on either in that situation imo

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Somedevil40Sox @MattMcCarthy985 I have no issue with it. Bigger plays that cost them.

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Somedevil40Sox @MattMcCarthy985 Once it looked like a likely infield hit you have to stop him. Can’t get thrown out at plate.

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@BOSSportsGordo @bradfo It was the right decision. So hard to see that ball from 3rd

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

There is nothing harder in TV world today that being a sports fan.

TV and times

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@MattMcCarthy985 Yeah I don’t think that matters one bit.

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@JettyDJ @NoLayingUp Never a need to get personal.

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@JettyDJ @NoLayingUp What reason is there to get personal?

A good way to look at is if the person on the other team was on my team I’d be cheering for them. So why just because they have a different jersey on should I demean them? They are still the same person. Cheer for your team and call it a day

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@dpshow Yes. I’m 6 feet and I am taller than most people I am around

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@JettyDJ @NoLayingUp Stuff like that shouldn’t be said in any athletic environment. Golf, football, basketball, whatever the sport is. It never needs to get personal imo.

@Mattatthebank PGA Tour doesn’t won the Ryder Cup. PGA of America does. On the European side DP World Tour does

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

I’ve said it before (and it may not happen) but retaining is a bad rule. A tie isn’t a win. This is my feeling regardless of the team you are pulling for #RyderCup2025

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Mattatthebank Lol. I don’t think that would be good for the competition

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Mattatthebank Yeah. That wouldn’t be a good change

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Mattatthebank I would argue neither side would want that. It is such a unique event and usually really hard to win on the road. One side could go a decade without hosting.

I think part of what makes it so special is the alternating

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

Nothing that happened today changes anything about the fact that the US needs make changes top to bottom. Team play matters. A lot.

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Mattatthebank That’s one that won’t change. Neither side wants to go years without hosting.

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Mattatthebank It’s planned years in advance. Not to mention home RCup money is crucial for DP Tour

[Sam Dostaler @SamDosty_5]

@Mattatthebank You’d have to account for daylight. And you absolutely can’t base hosting on who won. Two much planning
