I really hate hearing Riggs talk, but that ‘A Few Good Men’ reference was excellent.

They’re all horrible.

Rapaport is a trust fund LA Jew. His parents have a whole arse compound on Bel Air CC or Riviera. It gives him a right to cosplay as a golf pundit or something.

Riggs is a total fraud. To have the access he has and still be totally lost on his takes is incredible.

KVV is just a white guilt ridden bitch. He is the only one of the three that can put out a legitimate piece of journalism when he puts that aside though.


I’m glad someone started this thread though. It needs to be discussed.

KVV, what a thin-skinned pussy. So glad NLU dumped him but then SGS picked his carcass up. Just glad he’s not on a lot of pods.

KVV is the worst. Rapaport is a cheese dick but I don’t understand why his video is going viral and being called the craziest video on the internet.

I listen to Foreplay after big tournaments b/c Riggs is really good at recapping them, but as a person, he just gives me the douche chills.

There are no words in the English language to describe Dan Rapaport.

I'll vote KVV as the worst. I was so glad that him and NLU parted ways. He completely ruined the vibe on their podcasts and when they had him attempt to play golf on video. The only shame is now he ruins some Shotgun Start pods.

I don't consume much Riggs or Rappaport, but they're pretty awful in their own right.

Is the Shotgun Start and Fried Egg Podcasts worth listening to? I’ve tried a couple times, but their voices are just not pleasing to listen to.

NLU and Smylie’s tournament recaps are the only golf content I really listen to consistently, but I spend a lot of time in my truck so I’ve got room for more.

Yeah, Andy's voice is terrible, but they are fun. I also listen to Designing Golf, which is a Fried Egg podcast. It's all about golf architecture.

They're all solid. A lot of times Shotgun Start and Fried Egg overlap. I tend to listen to Shotgun Start when that happens because NLU is my go to serious golf pod.

NLU is great for tournament previews and recaps. My only gripe is that they come off as very smug sometimes.

Smylie's podcast is great and so is Knost's.

Shotgun Start is the best pro golf podcast in my mind. They’re not too serious, but still get the point across. And they’re hilarious. KVV is super cucky though. Ran into him in the airport a couple weeks back and he was raising his voice at the bag check lady

I used to like them when they were just dudes discussing golf, but once the got put on the PGA payroll they became propagandist.

I still catch an episode or two during the majors, but it's not a weekly listen for me anymore.

Unfollowed Rappaport because his commentary was some of the most cringe shite I’ve ever heard.

I unfollowed and muted both him and Foreplay on X, but they’ve been so awful on this that they’re unavoidable because everyone is roasting them.

Yeah I think sgs and fried egg are the best golf podcasts out right now. NLUs gone downhill the last couple years

KVV is cringe when he’s political but is actually a good journalist and puts out quality work when it isn’t political. I don’t care for Riggs and rapaport work or personality wise

ETA: Andy from the fried egg is more knowledgeable about golf than anyone on foreplay or NLU too

His facial expression during that video looked like he was experiencing the most extreme PMS symptoms in the history of womankind.
