Brendan Porath, Joseph LaMagna, and PJ Clark celebrate a "LaMagna Major Week" on this Monday Scramble! Joseph is beyond excited for the PGA Tour's annual trip to Muirfield Village Golf Club and even has a Big Letter Upside Down JACK hat on the way from the grounds! PJ gets Joseph to name his four favorite Tour stops in order to make the "JLM Slam" an official statistic before Brendan leads this week's game. With NBC's "Championship Season" upon us, Joseph is tasked with ranking ten analysts from NBC's roster without knowing who's coming next. We wrap with a brief Russell Henley discussion and a debate whether Henley has a better chance than Bryson DeChambeau at Shinnecock Hills in a few weeks.

My only suggestion for the Monday scramble is to distinguish the thumbnails from the thumbnails for the podcast clips.
His face when Morgan Pressel came up 🤣
I’ve never seen anyone with so much disdain for anything as Joseph seeing Morgan at 13:23 😂😂😂
The thumbnail for these scramble episodes should include a scrambled egg graphic to help differentiate between podcast clips
Loving the Monday scramble with the boys!
The Faxman got capital J jammed
How do we whiff at the chance to put Pressel at 10, my boy?
Bear in mind that half the attendees at OSU football games see “Ohio” upside down during the marching band’s halftime performance. They’re accustomed to the concept.
I am the Tim Howard stan. I think he is good at his job if you are into EPL
Incredible pod. Muy bueno senors
I expect an upside down LaMagna hat on the Fried Egg site
Joseph's FE hat should be an upside down🍷glass! 😂
Being fine with the clapper at two is psychotic behavior
LaMagna giving Connan O’Brien a 9 was a bit harsh
I thought the first guy Johnny Weir was Pee Wee Herman.
Haven’t watched yet. Randy Moss better be 1,1
Seeing this on a list really underscores how bad NBC's talent is across all of their sporting properties, not just golf. Depressing stuff.
Russell Henry is only 37 years old. Does being slow absolve someone from being an equipment fraud? Maybe we need to define this term. Is Cam Young an equipment fraud? Where would he be without the double dot special ball?
Wrong. I'm living in Youngstown (after 26 years in DC) and am an OSU fan. I would never buy an upside down text hat. I'm also 57 and am a golf traditionalist.
