    GREAT segment. Almost can't believed they allowed all that to be said on ESPN. I would have just assumed they also had a business relationship with the PGA. Michael Collins is a performer. Stephen A has that one signature cadence and rant style. It deservedly earned him millions. Collins sounds like he's just trying to have fun though next level with the changes in cadence, pitch, and the sarcasm. Haha.

      All of this is nonsense no matter how you spin it. We know about business interest of a Tiger or Rory. We get all of that. I am with the chance to make more money. But LIV is about trying to destroy the format of American golf. If you ain't good enough to be on your than you can't make a living. Why do the PGA have to give out welfare checks do that everybody can play. If you keep playing good you can make $20,000 or more per month. Is anybody looking at the purse money at 75th place at some stops. The tour was not meant to be a MLB minimum salary.

    Michael Collins is the real talent here. SAS just screaming Collins’ message louder because that’s what he does. At least SAS finally sees the big picture and agrees that PGA has been totally hypocritical on LIV golf issues. Now it’s time for SAS to rethink his stance and critiques on Kyrie, Rodgers, and the others as in addition to his silence on Amazon and it’s employee Talib.
