A SGS Spotlight on Corey Pavin "the Bulldog" and Postponements, cancellations, new schedule possibilities

Published: March 18, 2020, 8:01 a.m.

We begin this Wednesday episode with an update from our social distancing lives before proceeding to the major wave of upcoming schedule cancellations and changes. We discuss the PGA\u2019s postponement, the report of a Ryder Cup move to 2021, and the likelihood of a U.S. Open happening on time. We ponder who is taking the biggest hit in all of this and the many concessions the PGA Tour has and will have to make. Some new schedule proposals and ideas based on the many rumors and reports are discussed, from a new Masters date to a new PGA date and why it might then make sense for the Ryder Cup to bail on 2020. Some Bears and Browns free agency talk sneaks its way in as well. On the occasion of Bobby Jones\u2019 birthday, we present one listener\u2019s argument for why he is the one true GOAT. Then, in our second installment of SGS Spotlight, Corey Pavin\u2019s career is put under consideration. We discuss his slap hitter ways, media constantly talking about his height, the \u201895 U.S. Open win in brutal conditions, and a hilarious Rick Reilly description of Pavin and that win. On the Ryder Cup disasters of 2010, we hit on the rain suit malfunction, Lisa Pavin as \u201cThe Captainess,\u201d a blow-up fight with Jim Gray, and the conspiracy theory that Pavin stacked his captain\u2019s picks with born-again Christians as a convert himself. We contemplate his legacy and wonder whether he is \u201cBoomer Rickie\u201d and should be left out of our hypothetical Hall of Fame.
