On today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, John and Barry tackle a range of sports, starting off with Scotty Scheffler’s PGA Championship win, drawing comparisons to Tim Duncan for his unflashy dominance.
Many thought Bryson DeChambeau was going to win it after taking the lead near the end, but never count Scheffler out of the fight. “He’s just really good at everything,” one host noted, while also acknowledging that golf ratings still favor flash over fundamentals. The NBA Playoffs were another hot topic between the hosts, with a blend of praise and skepticism for emerging stars like Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards.

Later, attention turned to college athletics. They unpacked a revealing report on football recruiting budgets, with Tennessee outspending Alabama, and Auburn coming in low—sparking speculation about budget choices and NIL loopholes.
The hosts questioned how schools allocate funds and poked fun at Auburn’s spending habits with comments like, “Somebody’s pulling money and calling it something else.” They also previewed the SEC baseball tournament, praised Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron, and poked fun at facilities like Coleman Coliseum. They closed up the episode discussing Alabama’s new all-access football documentary, wondering if Coach Saban would’ve ever allowed such transparency.
