I love how Drew is calling Cole out for making it a spectacle, but you literally would not hear Drew Gibson's name all season if he didn't prey on drama.

[@me36391]

How many Brodies does the tour need?

[@Igotgout]

Drew is a trust fund douche bag that somehow made it onto a disc golf course, why does he feel the need to flex the cheapest Rolex during tournaments it’s a weird flex

[@jourdan4722]

You slow motioned and zoomed in on her foot and I still didn't see the disc move.

[@williamdowling7718]

Looking forward to the day that people finally realize drew Gibson doesn't have anything to say that's worth hearing or talking about. If we all just ignore him, he'll go away and everyone will be better off.

[@eh8888]

He reminds me of Mike Matusow from professional poker. Which is not a good thing. 😅

[@jamespeace2984]

Brodie talks about arguments yet he is the one arguing. Uhhhhhh.... Ya Brodie. Good job.

[@KingLuwee]

When Brodie doesn’t shoot +15 he can have an opinion.

[@seymourglass26]

Where does that leave you or me?

[@goldenruletv7301]

Brodie just needs to keep quiet. He's a glorified AM player.

I agree 💯% !

Ok so basically no fan of disc golf is allowed to have an opinion?

[@jbirdfishes]

bet if brodie was actually competing at a decent level, he wouldnt care much about the jedi costume

[@Nolast12503]

Most important takeaway here is there needs to be a cut line, maybe even after round 1. Adds drama, fans love drama... speeds up all the logistics and the tedium of tour life.

[@JonDoe-eu3lt]

Dang 🇨🇭🫕 always with the nuance man. Love your take on it always. No one in the media has such genuine knowledge and is as sincerely hilarious. And your delivery is 🔥 Thank you guys for the content. And the Pete n Pete reference!!!

If he wants to DNF he can DNF, who gives a fuck

[@Cad1900]

Exactly. I don’t get the drama. He bailed and I would have too.

[@JustinWayneDawg]

Professionalism is dead.

[@djsltx4378]

Brodie's point about an Ump in MLB in a costume is not good. The spotter in disc golf is a volunteer and not an official. The players officiate themselves as well know.

[@Nah08]

Brodie has no room to talk he showed up to DDO with zero practice rounds you wanna talk about unprofessional and he’s on the elite team of discraft all what the guy does is make excuses for his play that’s what’s silly discraft get him off the elite team asap

[@markmcgarity]

why would anyone sponsor a proven loser? he is in the bottom every tourney with cupcake and noah fiveash🤣

[@andrewjung6987]

@@markmcgarity because he sells discs? Man, you people are so beyond ignorant. Maybe you should go inform discraft that they should remove him from the team? Surely you could run the company better than they can

[@amanatee]

the jedi thing was great. I'm not even a star wars fan. I don't even feel like it's unprofessional at all. ancient sport pastimes even have silly traditions, a lot of them so old they become part of the cultural pastiche and no longer even have the effect on the crowd they maybe once did. with disc golf we get to write our own new traditions. how special is that?

[@joshuanoga171]

I’ll give Cole as much grace as possible for being young but that’s unacceptable and I think Brody was 💯 on his views IMO … great works guys !

[@AcidTestKids]

Emily Weatherman was robbed by her competition. Bunch of bs!

[@JohnFnLopez]

Yeah, self referreed tournaments are fine for amateur tourneys, but professionals should have professing referees. Period. It's amaturish and kind of pathetic that pros are forced to police each other. And why do we expect a player who quits (whether or not in protest) when there's no point in continuing, to be punished or sanctioned, while we expect that same player to keep everyone else honest? Childish. Professional disc golf deserves better. If I were a financial sponsor, I'd drop my sponsorship in protest until professional referees were hired.

[@theairportstuff]

Let's not forget the Oliva "I forgot my discs" so I can tank a round and then DNF without getting an 888.

[@seanmorris]

I think it might be wiser to go for string OB lines as in/out is more obvious. If not for the complete OB at least where going OB is most likely

[@Stradivarius6288]

The problem with string is it moves. The solution to that is make it 100% taut. The issue with that is 1. That's really difficult on uneven ground and 2. It causes a tripping hazard that if tripped over, either moves or breaks causing a question about where the line is again.

[@Stradivarius6288]

@@markmcgarity disagree

[@markmcgarity]

@@Stradivarius6288 paint looks ghetto and doesn't give a defining line, especially in thick grass. i've strung obs on uneven ground too, works fine. if you are stupid enough to trip over an ob line, maybe you should be playing pickleball

Having lived in South Dakoa since 2001 I am suspect on Ezera Aderhold not being clean, Newer harder to detect versions of EPO like Brock Lenzer MMA/UFC who is from Aberdeen also used an older version of EPO, I would not be surprised if Ezra was using. He looks so much more beefy in an unnatural way then when he first started on pro tour.

[@rainbowGZUS7]

Lmao, if some goofball kid wants to ruin his body with steroids, just to throw a Frisbee farther, and still lose, let him.

[@coreylemieux6003]

Honestly don't think juicing would benefit you that much in disk golf maybe get you a Lil extra distance but flexibility and timing are more important look at guys like Emerson or antilla pound for pound throwing farther

[@caseysmith544]

@@coreylemieux6003 Yes, I was rooting for Emerson when he nearly won Disc Golf World Championships in year Ledgestone Open course was used for worlds. I am only 5 foot 2 inches and 107--110 pounds and will throw 300 feet or a normal line and up to 500 on a max throw.

[@anthony452]

The DNF was pretty cringe but the only punishment should come from the sponsors. DNF is a regular occurrence. The only reason this is getting attention is because of the video and statement.

[@brionbee]

The more scandal and controversy showcased regarding disc golf, the les I want to watch. Disc golf is a much needed break from what's going wrong everywhere else. Please get back to the game, instead of the clickbait.

[@withthewindowsdown]

Hot take: raised baskets are annoying to see

it's a shitty move altogether but cole pulled a shitty statement

Clearly not a foot fault. Who seconded that?

No one, it was overruled by the marshal walking with them.

[@brianmong1729]

It looked like it could have been a foot fault to me, foot seems to be beside the disk not behind. The star wars thing is cool and these things should be able to happen within reason. Most importantly you should be able to DNF anytime you want and the people calling for adding penalty justify playing through minor injury or major for that matter. Do we want to litigate what injured is?

[@markketterer1248]

Great now I have to watch Real Genius

[@maxwebeats6305]

Brodie's a Bit Late to the Punch on Star Wars considering that Discraft has beem selling Star Wars themed Discs, and I'm ngl to you if I was on Team Discraft most of my Bag would have a Star Wars or Slipknot stamp

[@Sketto8]

Dick move to walk off and thus require an official to walk with the group instead of him. All to save himself 45 minutes. Where's the pride in your job?

[@backyardstrummer3856]

The answer is he's 19, and there should be professional referees. I'm not saying he should have done it, but I'm just saying.... Cole doesn't deserve to be pilloried endlessly for a youthful indiscretion. He's been a pretty mature competitor and elite level player considering his actual age

@@markmcgarity no not required, but thank you. That's kind of you to offer but I couldn't presume. Unless you insist. Oh, you insist? Then my preference is a nice walnut sugar with Mexican vanilla. Oh, that Mexican vanilla, boy, I could tell you stories! This one's from '94. Well, to be honest, it started there, but for context we really have to go back to picking blueberries on Mackinaw circa 1981. Do you have time?

[@me36391]

Thank you for saying what I have been saying since day one, the FPO looked horrible in fact it was unwatchable(except for Weathermen). The whole tournament on both sides was boring with no energy from the booth, course and players. Tour needs to STOP having a tourney after 4/5 rd majors. And it is getting highlighted again this week in LV where it is so boring DGN isnt covering it. Sometimes less is more, not more of a lesser thing. Also why would they do a 3 hole playoff for a nothing tournament? You do that for a major and major ONLY.

[@paulfritsch672]

Fpo is a brutal watch most of the time. Only like 40 players with only like 8 that actually have a chance at winning. And that's if the best players all show up. Which isn't the case most of the time
