ShackHouse Episode 13: The Open Preview & Mike Tirico

House and I kick around that wacky U.S. Women's Open finish, set the table for Troon and of course, give the first names we like price-wise in the (legal) wagering over here. House digs out a beauty of a betting angle that is growing on me by the minute.

We will take to Twitter on Wednesday with a few fun prop bets and a better sense of what side of the draw is setting up better weather-wise.

But best of all we are joined by the venerable, versatile and beloved Mike Tirico, who is at home calling any sport and like his mentor Jim McKay, a calming presense that will make NBC Sports that much stronger. He is covering his 20th straight Open and will serve as host of NBC's first year-coverage.

Tirico discussed a variety of topics with me in the NBC compound just off the 18th fairway.
