Andy and Brendan! went LIVE on YouTube for this Monday episode covering a fourth straight Bears win, Tommy Fleetwood's continued heater, and some breaking FedEx Fall news. "Football Minute" kicks things off following wins for the Bears and Browns and yet another loss for PJ's Jets. Andy then has PJ recap his time "inspiring the youths" at Syracuse University, regaling the next generation of media leaders with stories about inflatable colons and PGA of America karaoke parties. This episode transitions to golf through the online response to Brendan's Friday newsletter piece on reinstated amateurs. Wes Bryan was upset by a line and took to X to voice his displeasure. Speaking of YouTube golfers, it was announced mid-podcast that GoodGood will be the title sponsor of next year's FedEx Fall event in Austin, Texas. Will Blockie find his way into the field as a sponsor exemption? You'd have to think so! In current-year pro golf, Tommy Fleetwood won the DP World India Championship with his son, Frankie, in attendance. Andy and Brendan debate whether Tommy is becoming a superstar or if he's already there. Andy also notes Tommy's improved iron play as the main reason for his rise into the top tier of pro golf. The course in India was lined with so many trees that it forced many players, including Rory, to keep the driver in their lockers. Some golf media minds have wondered if trees are the solution to the distance problem in professional golf, but Andy isn't so sure they're making the right point. Brendan points out that if players like Rory are being paid appearance fees to grow the game, it may be worth having them hit a few bombs off the tee for the fans. The rest of this weekend in golf is then recapped, with PJ chiming in to celebrate B. Draddy ambassador Justin Leonard's win at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic on the Champions Tour. In news, the PGA Tour has a bunch of new C-Suite execs on staff as Brian Rolapp continues his takeover heading into next season, and the PIF may have a path back into pro golf with a potential DP World Tour partnership. Andy wraps up this episode with an impassioned rant about the Brewers loss in the NLCS and the rumors of Milwaukee slashing payroll for next year after such a successful season.
