    Drake Maye Dominates Weak Defenses and Disappears Against Good Ones

    Drake Maye can look dominant when the matchup is right. The bigger question is what happens when the defense on the other side is actually good. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/WINGO Use code WINGO and get $25 when you trade $25. On this episode of The Trey Wingo Show, Trey is joined by Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal to break down what they are seeing from Maye so far, why the highs have looked so high, and why the struggles against better defenses are becoming harder to ignore. This conversation centers on the biggest concern around Maye right now: does he only look comfortable against weaker teams, or is there something bigger going on with the Patriots offense when the competition rises? Trey and Greg dig into the gap between Maye’s best performances and his rougher outings, what the Seahawks game showed, and why matchups against defenses like Seattle, Denver, Houston, and the Chargers matter when evaluating where he really stands. They also get into what this means for New England going forward, what the Patriots have to do to help Maye, and whether this is a quarterback problem, a team problem, or both. If you want a real conversation about Drake Maye, the Patriots, and what is actually happening, this is the one. Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/WINGO Disclaimer: 18+ only.

    25 Years Later — Bob Ley Remembers the ESPN’s SportsCenter on 9/11

    Twenty-five years ago today, Bob Ley and Trey Wingo anchored the SportsCenter that ESPN almost did not put on the air. Wingo argued against doing a show at all. Ley argued that they had to. Bob Ley was hired at ESPN in 1979 and was on the air the day the network launched. Trey Wingo spent twenty-three years there. On September 11, 2001, Wingo was scheduled to anchor the six o'clock SportsCenter. Ley was off that morning. By the afternoon both were in the building, in a meeting, trying to decide whether covering sports on that day was journalism or an insult. Wingo says he was wrong. Ley says nobody in that room was wrong, and that the only thing that mattered was that everyone in it was telling the truth about how they felt. In 2018, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum mounted a special exhibition on sports after the attacks. Ley visited it once. Standing in the dark at the back of the gallery, he watched strangers stop in front of a screen and watch the hour he and Wingo had done seventeen years earlier. They also talk about the week that followed. Paul Tagliabue closing the NFL office and sending everyone to find a house of worship. Pete Rozelle's decision to play after the Kennedy assassination and the regret he carried for it. Larry Bowa finding out live on the air that the Phillies had turned their bus around. Jack Buck in St. Louis. David Letterman and Jon Stewart going back to work. Mike Tirico taking his kids to a high school football game because it was the only sport left. The Mets and the Braves at Shea Stadium, and Mike Piazza. President Bush walking to the mound at Yankee Stadium in a bulletproof vest and throwing a strike. Twenty-five years on, a large share of the country has no working memory of that day. That is the reason this conversation exists. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    LIV Golf Bankruptcy Is Official. Here’s How Much It Owes Its Players.

    LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week, and Jon Rahm had already left the LIV players group chat a month before it happened. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/WINGO Use code WINGO and get $25 when you trade $25. The filing lists what LIV Golf still owes its own players in past due payments, and those totals only cover what is late. They say nothing about the years of guaranteed money still written into contracts that LIV now wants a court to void. Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, Adrian Meronk, Tyrrell Hatton, Bubba Watson, Abraham Ancer, Byeong Hun An and Brooks Koepka all appear on it. Trey Wingo walks through what LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil told the players. That includes the memo saying LIV's lawyers would be in court seeking approval to reject existing player agreements, and the separate email handing players talking points about real momentum and a transition to LIV Golf 2.0. He also gets into the plan to expand the field from 57 players to 75 at a league that cannot pay the players it already has. There is the Jon Rahm answer on the DP World Tour about being willing to fulfill his LIV contract, and why that specific wording is a lawyer's sentence rather than a golfer's. There is the group chat exit on August 9th. There are the LIV Golf players Trey texted who could not talk because of NDAs, and the question of why a golf league needs NDAs at all. Reporting on the filings credited to Flushing It and Josh Carpenter, including the detail that LIV Golf's own filing categorizes the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour as competitors, which is the opposite of everything LIV has said publicly for four years. The part that matters most is who actually absorbs this. The top players already collected. The vendors did not. One company was four years out on a contract worth millions of euros a year, and it is gone, with almost half the staff laid off. That is the real legacy of LIV Golf 1.0.

    Warren Sharp’s 2026 NFL Predictions: Chiefs, Cowboys, Rams & More

    Every NFL broadcast puts third-down conversion rate on the screen. Warren Sharp says that is the wrong number. What predicts winning is how often a team avoids third down at all, and almost nobody says it out loud. Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/WINGO Disclaimer: 18+ only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Event contract trading involves significant risk and is not appropriate for everyone.

See kalshi.com/regulatory for more information Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/WINGO Use code WINGO and get $25 when you trade $25. Warren left a decade-long engineering career to model football full time, has consulted for NFL teams under NDA, and has published his betting record every year since 2006. This conversation is about the machinery underneath it. The core of it: early-down efficiency and explosive plays have to be balanced against each other, not optimized separately. Sack avoidance is drastically underrated, and quarterbacks control far more of it than offensive lines get blamed for. His line is that interceptions are game changers and sacks are drive changers, and he has the drive-scoring numbers to show what a single sack does to a possession. On strength of schedule, he does not use last year's records at all. He explains what he uses instead, why the betting market does the work for you, and why 2026 is the year that matters most, with ten new head coaches and a wave of new coordinators changing what every team is trying to do. Then the teams. Why he thinks Houston finishes first in the AFC South and what changed on the offensive line. Why he bet against Cincinnati last year and is not doing it again. What the Cowboys defense has to become, and it is a lower bar than you would think. Why he believes the hype around the Rams and still will not put money on them, which is a distinction most people never make. What Denver's play calling change means for sack rate. And where Kansas City actually stands. Trey brings his own argument too, that the hardest games to win come in September because nobody knows they are bad yet, and gets it tested against the data. Warren is giving Wingo Network viewers the full 2026 preview book, the $34.99 PDF, free. Details at the end of the video and in the pinned comment. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Roger Goodell Is Not Going Anywhere — The Eighteenth Game and International Divisions Are Coming

    Roger Goodell isn’t going anywhere. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/WINGO Use code WINGO and get $25 when you trade $25. The NFL commissioner has agreed to a four-year extension that will keep him in charge through the 2030 season, lining up his tenure with the expiration of the league’s current collective bargaining agreement. And Trey Wingo believes that timing is anything but accidental. On this episode of Straight Facts Homie, Trey breaks down why NFL owners continue to put their trust in Goodell, the staggering financial growth of the league during his tenure, and what his new performance-based deal says about the priorities of the people he works for. More importantly, Trey explains why he believes the extension sets the stage for the NFL’s next major push: an 18-game regular season, significantly more international games and, eventually, an international division. What does that mean for the NFLPA when the next CBA negotiations arrive? And what will the players have to get in return if the league gets what it wants? Roger Goodell has spent two decades delivering for NFL owners. Now he has four more years to finish the job Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/WINGO Disclaimer: 18+ only.

Try QUO for free PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months when you go to quo.com/WINGO The PGA Tour is bringing match play into its future playoff format, but one viewer raised an important question: could a format that creates better competition also create a television problem? Trey Wingo and Justin Ray break down the unpredictability of match play, where one bad day can send even the biggest stars home early. Trey looks back at examples of Tiger Woods being eliminated in match play, while Justin makes the broader point that no playoff system can guarantee the perfect television outcome. Sometimes the Super Bowl is a blowout. Sometimes the favorite loses early. That’s part of what makes a real postseason unpredictable. The mailbag also gets into whether the Presidents Cup should be used to give younger American players experience before future Ryder Cups, whether Team USA got its captain’s picks right after leaving Ben Griffin off the roster, and the smartest strategic golf Trey and Justin saw during the FedEx Cup playoffs. They also discuss whether Scottie Scheffler is being measured against an impossible Tiger Woods standard, whether Jason Day should have made the International Presidents Cup team, and the biggest issue surrounding the Presidents Cup itself: after 10 straight U.S. wins, does the event already have a competitiveness problem? Plus, Justin gives a firsthand preview of Team USA’s Solheim Cup trip, what makes winning on European soil so difficult, and why Nelly Korda doesn’t need to carry the entire team herself.

    Scottie Scheffler Finished Another Dominant Season. The Tiger Comparison Is Getting Harder to Ignore

    Scottie Scheffler just finished another dominant PGA Tour season, and the Tiger Woods comparisons are getting harder to avoid.

Always say hello with QUO. Try QUO for free PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months when you go to quo.com/WINGO After winning two of the three playoff events and another FedEx Cup, Scottie effectively ended the Player of the Year debate. But Trey Wingo and Justin Ray turn to the bigger conversation: how does this stretch actually compare to Tiger? From ages 28 to 30, Tiger and Scottie each produced 18 worldwide wins, with remarkably similar strokes-gained numbers. But Trey pushes back on one part of the comparison: the idea that today’s PGA Tour is automatically deeper than the one Tiger dominated. Tiger had to beat players like Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, David Duval and Retief Goosen, all of whom proved they could consistently close tournaments and win majors. Justin also adds an important piece of context to Scottie’s era, with players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau no longer competing against him every week on the PGA Tour. None of that takes away from what Scottie is doing. It just makes comparing eras a lot more complicated than looking at one set of numbers. Trey and Justin also put together their season podium behind Scottie, with Wyndham Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick rounding out the top three. Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

On the U.S. side, Brandt Snedeker added Chris Gotterup, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Jacob Bridgeman, Patrick Cantlay and 21-year-old Jackson Koivun. Koivun immediately becomes one of the most intriguing players in the event, while Cantlay brings a proven team-golf track record and Bridgeman gives the Americans another chance to see a younger player in this environment. For the International Team, Jeff Ogilvy also made some interesting choices, leaning on a mix of current form, Presidents Cup experience and players he believes can help close the talent gap against a historically deeper American roster. Trey and Justin break down the biggest surprises, the players who were left out and what each side’s selections tell us about how the captains are approaching Medinah. The picks are done.
