Listening to those two bozos fumble through sentences made Trevor sound like Winston Churchill by comparison. Brutal.
Couldn’t tell you what the ballot looks like for Comeback Player of the Year, but I feel someone like Rebecca Cox could have fit that better than Eveliina
Cox doesnt win
Worth noting regarding POTY:
Kristin was 1st in both fan and tour card votes
Missy was 2nd in both fan and tour card votes
When averaged together with DGPT Standings, they finished with the same placement, so Missy won POTY via the DGPT points tiebreaker
So the voters made their voices heard, and the consensus amongst voters was that Kristin was the best, but the DGPT Standings pulled her down to 2nd
Wild Konner take on Community Champion. I guess it could be named better, but it's pretty straightforward. It's just the disc golf equivalent of the Walter Payton award. Those two clearly are doing the most for the sport off the course.
He's well known for over-thinking everything and making things more complicatedin his own head than it really is, that's just who he is.
He made his nonsensical point then reiterated it seven times.
Ayo BOYS they got putter blend Lunas now so we gotta stop the Luna hate (even tho the rubber blends are still 22.99)
Connor is clueless
That’s why we love him though
Trevor needs to give him the nudge and just tell him to shut up sometimes 😂
Love the pod listen every well but it kills me how they speak on topics but can’t even research basic facts. I.e the disc that climo is on. You named 3 🤦🏻♂️ there’s so many you are forgetting. Just sound a lil more knowledgeable/credible. Props for actually putting out content. You guys are huge for the sport but please do 30 minutes more of research before talking about these topics.
1. Can y'all timestamp these videos.
2. As for the awards, in every sport there are incorrect decisions (i.e. LeBron losing DPOY to Marc Gasol). Even though it wrong, they look at the awards as how they can boost viewership and interest in the sport (like having it talked about on a podcast), and not as real decisions.
This episode was a bit of a miss boys.
This pod has been a bit of a miss for a long time. Shame.
It's not even a podcast, basically just them interrupting each other and just talking like friends. I don't mind it tho
that's because hunter is the leader without him everything falls apart 😂😂
Konner and Silas seem like nice guys, but they just aren’t qualified to appear on a disc golf podcast. They just aren’t. They barely follow the pro tour, and are absolutely terrible at articulating coherent, concise points. Jokes on me I guess for listening but that was brutal.
How do you guys keep forgetting about the kc aviar?! Literally one of the highest selling discs of all time lol
Plot twist : the man with more corporate connections than anyone in the game, teams up with Champ !! BRODIE himself
Tattar wins grand slam again next season. Comeback player of the year! 😂
Lmfao exactly
Thanks guys!
Con dog heavy episode. Noped out of this episode quick.
Why do people seem to think that Innova was hiding away Climo or not letting him do stuff? I'd think it would be the opposite because Climo being more visible only helps them both. From all the interviews with Climo that I can remember seeing over the past couple years it seemed Climo was happy spending time with his family.
@donkarnage6032
I'm sure Ken likes to spend time with his family, but he has always wanted his status as one of the two best MPO players ever, especially when he has seen what McBeth has gotten and done. Innova never used him as they should have to promote Innova and the game. It would seem that Innova and Climo never quite figured out how to do this to both their satisfaction. McBeth didn't move from Innova to Discraft for no reason.
@ McBeth moved to Discraft because they threw a 10 million dollar contract his way not because he wasn’t happy with Innova.
@@donkarnage6032
Right. It was likely mostly a money issue. Innova didn't supply the money for Ken to do Disc Golf stuff. For instance, Ken said he wanted to go around the world building courses and spreading Disc Golf like McBeth did.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ken was moving into a team manager role, or something similar, at another manufacturer
“Name popular discs” is not a good idea for a game, fellas.
Silas not understanding a snake draft is such a Silas thing 🤦🏻♂️
I know the casual nature of the show is part of the appeal but come on. You just can’t be that aloof and appear on a show. Value people’s time and eyeballs a little bit. He openly doesn’t even follow pro disc golf. Why is he talking about disc golf on a podcast for an hour?!??
I don't think there's enough injuries in disc golf to really warrant a comeback award.
If anyone went to Ken Climo and said "let's make discs" it would 10000% be Gateway imo edit: I don't think it's as much about money as it is about making his own line of discs.
Haven't heard about KC going anywhere yet but not sure he's going new manufacturer or creating his own company. I'm thinking DGPT role of some sort.
I think deep down in Paul's heart. He knows Kenny was the man.
Paul had 3 to 5 yrs he was really great. Always good. And during those 5 yrs nobody was afraid of him, like they were Kenny.
In person hes 6,3..
On your mind 6,9, with 7,5. Reach. Hands bigger than bears hands.
I will say both had that stare on game day. Paul knows. Kenny was the kraken.
I think the player of the year decision was correct. A lot of the argument for Kristin is how she did it in less tournaments. That should not be taken into consideration. U cannot award a player for not playing. I agree with Konner
It was the same thing when Brady only played 12 games in one season. During those 12 games, he was the best QB in the league, but he wasn't ever in consideration for MVP because he only played 3/4 of the season.
Kristin also had a fantastic season when she hurt her elbow, and didn't win. Whether you (meaning anyone, not you specifically) agree with it or not isn't really relevant. The DGPT has made it clear that if you're going to win their top award, you're going to be the best player playing the most events. The difference between Kristin and Missy was 1 ES win and a few more podiums. That's not enough to outweigh playing in 9 more Tour events.
@matthewbertram4312 and i think that's how it should be
Genuinely, I'm sitting here and trying to figure out who would have won player of the year if it wasn't Kristin... Evelina? I'll update when I get to that point of the video.
@@nktaylo1 if you think Eveliina had the 2nd best season, you weren't paying very close attention.
I get that. But she was injured and two of missy’s wins came in that time frame. And got 9th, 5th, 4th and 6th. A POTY should have podiumed all of them without Tattar in the field.
The long awaited return of the Dirty Corn Dogs #neverforget
Having a kid changes everything, i bet you will see Allen and Ulibari fall in the standings next season
Konner, you went to Infinity’s End on independence Blvd didn’t you?
3:19 Skip commercial
How did nobody go Aerobie Epic???
😂 of course!
Isaac to MVP to be the face of Streamline. Ezra should be included for the bro potential. Chad & Brad understand that better than anyone in disc golf.
Just picked up 3 misprint Lunas for 4.94 a piece. So hah.
Less Konner more Gary.......
THANK YOU Silas for pointing out how fake that post sounded. Glad Klimo is going somewhere he’ll actually get paid
Love Connor but, respectfully he’s a terrible podcast host
Con dog is better in small doses. Whole episodes are rough.
Konner shines on the other stuff they do, but this podcast has never been his thing. Trevor has been carrying this pod on his back for a long time and even he has fallen off.
Gonna assume you don’t love Konner if you misspell his name that badly
@ lol I didn’t even know tbh…
*konner
Both Missy and Kristen are great. My question is, how many of Missy wins happened when Kristen was not in the field?
Player of the year is always awarded to the most consistent player over all events. With Kristen being out 1/4 of the season that effects the voting
Man friend that his friend, says he seen those checks in person. 2,400$ a. Month. Back in late 90s..
That was good money back then.
Hmmmm… innova, once again, thanks (departing player) for all they’ve done for the “Innova” brand. Still waiting for any of those players to thank Innova for all they’ve done for them.
Ok Dave. Lol. Innova didn't do anything special. It's like praising the invertor of a can opener; it's so obvious someone else was going to come along and invent it within weeks anyway. The"beveled edge" would have been a thing within weeks or months of Innova doing it. Some inventions just aren't impressive
Y'all giving Konner all the help in that game. Time Line. Told him that's wrong. He never said he wanted proto...put that in for him...
Then Konner telling Trevor to not help Silas at all
Silas not knowing how a snake draft works 😂
I agree with Konner’s take on players take on players being rewarded for playing more Tour events. That said the player of year race for FPO was so close!
I think it is redundant to have a voteable Player of the Year Award in a individual sport. You already have a PotY in the Pro Tour Championship, it isnt up to debate. But based on the stats that have been used to compare the seasons of Krisitin, Evelina and Missy, I think Kristin should have won. I just think it is a dumb award in general and especially in an individual sport.
How did nobody pick the Toro? Literally every player I know has at least 1 Toro in their bag at a time.
This new Hunter is fantastic!
I can't imagine Climo not being with Innova. I thought he'd have a lifetime sponsorship. But he's gotta do his thing I guess
If resumes were flipped they're handing it to Missy in KT's season
I agree, someone up there really likes missy. She probably should have 0 player of the year but somehow got it twice
Missy had two wins when Tattar was out. The other tournaments she went 9, 5,4, and 6. Are those player of the year finishes without Tattar in the field? Salonen also wasn’t there at those either.
innova just don't care about their players all the money is for the company so I hope he goes to discraft and gets the respect an money he deserves
evelina came back from Estonia 😂😂😂😂 shes from finland 😂😂and who cares if a player is nice konner
Kristin won the PDGA Player of The Year award anyway.. The better of the two
Holy cow Connor n Silas stay outta this comment section for your mental health lol.
NFL gave it comeback to Hamlin (the bills player who almost died)
"How much value is it if Ken Climo were to partner with Discraft?"
.....
Apparently about $200k/year.
I think Casey White is also selling his van
Omg I'm number one daddy
You should play that ebay game but lowest price wins
Kristin wins. She did more in less events.
TREVOR'S TRIVIA IDEA:
Each person gets 10 disc names and you have to see who can write the most coherent story using all of them in 1 minute. Sort of madlibs style
In the bag idea - best college disc golf team made of celebrities, limit of only 1 pro athlete (no disc golfers) and you need at least 1 female
I mean who cares about the awards pdga and dgpt all a joke im just glad it’s relatively around because I love disc golf but the he growing isn’t going anywhere with the people we have at the helm I have just accepted that also dgn is ass
Hot take: anyone who pernownces innava is new. Paul knew what he was doing. It’s pronounced Innova. Deere Lorde
Go Missy! My favorite FPO player
The Bad Boys of disc golf? Seems like a bad time to associate with Diddy. I guess you guys do you.
Bad boys were the Detroit Pistons as well. NWO in pro wrestling. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Not just limited to the worst possible thing to associate it with.
@volitionsin9607 you sure?
I don’t understand the hate in the comments
Listen to any professionally produced sports podcast then listen to this and tell me you don’t understand the hate.
Posting again - promoting gambling sucks because gambling is bad for our society. You gotta get that bag, though.
Everyone gambles. Multiple times a day. What makes using money any different?
Every time you get in a car, it’s a gamble. The foods you eat are gamble on your health. Any time you play a sport you gamble an injury. When you pay to play a tournament you are putting your money on the line that you’ll break even or win. Any purchase you make is a gamble that the product will be worth the money you spent.
Gambling is no more addictive than any other dopamine producing activity.
Literally soooooo many more things that do far greater damage to our society than gambling.
