Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 71 - The NFL, Morality, and Deshaun Watson

We discuss the latest NFL saga - the discipline decision surround Deshaun Watson and how out of alignment with reality it seems to be, especially in light of Calvin Ridley and other prior examples of players behaving poorly.

What was the "independent judge" thinking in suspending Watson for only 6 games?

What were the Browns thinking in seeking to acquire yet another troubled player?

What are fans thinking about the NFL on the eve of the preseason?

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 64 - LIV & Let LIV - Scruples For Sale

This edition of CPS was recorded at the halfway point of the US Open being contested in Brookline, MA with the subtext of the Saudi Golf League (LIV) controversy hanging over the national championship.

We explore the golf implications as well as the morality play on full display for those players who have made the decision to take incredible amounts of money from the Saudi regime, potentially ending their PGA Tour careers.

Is it sheer greed? Shortsighted avarice? A business decision? All of those and more?

We welcome in special guests Bob Casper and Brian Taylor from Real Golf Radio to talk about the issues.
