The Ringer’s Senior Writer & Host Kevin Clark and Rich discuss the ramifications of Brooks Koepka’s defection from the PGA Tour to the LIV Golf series, if the upstart golf tour can land a TV deal amid the controversy of its Saudi financial backing, predicts that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence will have a breakout season after the departure of Urban Meyer, and says if new head coach Brian Daboll can turn around a moribund New York Giants franchise. 

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio tells Rich why Deshaun Watson settling 20 of the 24 civil trials against him is “long overdue” and how Watson’s legal team bungled things from the get-go, if there’s a chance the remaining 4 lawsuits result in a protracted trial, and how the settlements could impact a likely NFL suspension, and why Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson “desperately” needs an agent to negotiate what could turn out to be the most lucrative contract in NFL history. 

Rich commentS on the Deshaun Watson situation, reacting to a Browns fan caller who says he’s disappointed in his team for trading for the embattled QB.
