Well, hey, everybody, welcome to the latest edition of Overreaction Monday. Right here, a couple weeks into the month of June, we've got OTAs, and you know, they're not mandatory for you here on Overreaction Monday.
So, we appreciate you volunteering to take in this program however you do, whether it's on the Rich Eyes and Show YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcast listening. Rich Eyes along with Chris Brockman. How are you? Hey, Rich. What's up, man?
First up, before we get started, big ups on This With Sports Center. Oh, thanks. Dan Patrick episode. Phenomenal. Can't wait to see Chris Berman today.
Yeah, that drops on Monday.
So episode two is already out, and you know, it's a labor of love. For me to sit down with the OGs from back in the day and give everyone an idea of what it was like to do it. And what it was like to live it, and what it was like to compete with others in the shop there. for airtime or seats or And Dan Patrick really let loose, right? And the Chris Berman stuff, you were there for the live taping at the Super Bowl last February at the Strand Theater in San Francisco, California.
And the producer of this show, along with The Rich Eisen Show, Mike Hoskins.
Well done. He's producing and editing that. Big thumbs up, yeah. I mean, and it's just a lot of eye camps.
So great. I love it. A lot of photos, a lot of memory lane stuff.
So I appreciate you. Hey, yeah, Corey. Thank you very much. And that's wherever you get your podcasts, again, as well as the Rich Eisen Show YouTube channel. But that one is also on Disney Plus and the ESPN app.
Okay, so we figured we'd pop on and do this show over Reaction Monday because. Boy, did June 1st give us a ton of National Football League news. Miles Garrett, one of the best to ever sack a quarterback or throw out a ceremonial first pitch. I got to say. That first pitch, pretty impressive.
A.J. Brown, and there's so much other news going on in the NFL.
So hit it, hit it, hit it. That was terrible. That was crap. That was garbage. This place sucks.
Overreaction. Mondays. Mondays. All right, what do you got over there? The Christmas could use Miles Garrett.
The Lakers could probably use Miles Garrett.
Okay. But we're all Rams all the time, Rich, and let's get right to it. This season will go down as a complete failure. If the Rams don't win the Super Bowl. Um, don't win the Super Bowl.
Hmm. I appreciate you. Starting with this. Because everybody thinks the Rams are going to win the Super Bowl. We're talking undefeated last time.
Now that Miles Garrett has joined the fray here in LA, and that rhymes. And so I'm trying to sound this out. If they don't make the Super Bowl, I think it would be a massive disappointment. But that is also Still a very tall order, right? I mean, their division alone.
um has the defending Super Bowl champs in there. And we're going to get to them. You've got the NFC North. The NFC East. Atlanta potentially being better.
It's still the deepest end of the pool, the NFC West and the NFC as a whole. when you throw the AFC in there as well. But they have the best roster and they have the biggest. Um Bandwagon now, I think.
Well, the only thing missing is Vince Young coming out and saying Dream Team. No, or Aaron Donald coming out and saying I'll join as well. Um so If they don't make the Super Bowl, if they don't advance. passed last year's result. then it would be a a big disappointment.
Failure is a Really tough work. Also, we don't know if injuries would be the one to prevent them from doing it, right? Like, for instance, Denver's season last year didn't have the expectations going into it. Sure. But going into the playoffs, As the top seed, you're sitting here thinking, okay.
Yeah, but no one in June was thinking Denver. No, I understand that, but what I'm saying is the fact that Denver didn't make the Super Bowl. Is based on circumstances they couldn't control. That's disappointing. That's not a failure.
I understand that.
So, what I'm saying is that if the Rams don't make the Super Bowl and there's reasons. That we would all look back on and go, now I understand why they didn't make the Super Bowl. Yeah. Clean injury sounds like that. I know.
You're coming at it from the overreaction Monday point of view, and I'm taking my role here seriously. That's why failure, I have a difficult time saying failure. But not making the Super Bowl, I think, would be a massive disappointment bordering on failure, depending on how the. Circumstances play out. But I do see what you're saying.
And you're already seeing, you know. Uh Dan Campbell. Was asked about. Yeah, just give it to him. Right.
You know, he was asked about, what do you think of Miles Garrett going to the Rams? And if you were asking any other. Teams, coaches, or players, what do you think about this? It's infused with, well, You're not making it now. You know what I mean?
Like, that is the subtext. That is the assumption that the question is formed from next year. Right? Like, why else are you asking another team's coach or players about another team's player acquisition? That was seismic move.
Correct. He's the best player probably ever to get traded. Right. So, but the the subtext, the between the lines. Um you know foundation of the question is Oh yeah.
That means you're not going. Right. And so any other team will throw that chip on their shoulder.
So the Rams will have, let's get this right here.
So three teams are repeated on their schedule. They'll have 14 different targets on their backs. or you could say seventeen. Because every single time they're taking on Seattle or San Francisco, you know. You know, or Arizona.
Right. Or Arizona. Yeah. Hey, Jacobi Brusette's reporting. Is he showing that?
That's surprising. Not.
So yeah, I will take a little bit of a hedge here because they use the word failure. But I understand where you're coming from. This is this is This is a reaction. I'm not saying it's an overreaction. Or an underreaction.
Terran Armstead was like, I could see them going 17 and 0. And I was just like, what?
So could many. I understand. You know, but when it came time to it and I asked him to play the win-loss game, well, he had them punting on a 17. That ain't happening. I don't agree with that either.
What else you got, Chris? Let's stick with it real quick. Want to talk to Miles Garrett? We've never seen another player like him, really, since Reggie White. And he has some goals in sight, and I think he's going to get them.
Miles Garrett will retire with the most defensive player of the year trophies and the all-time sack record. Where is he on all of these five? Fronts. He has two. The record is three by several players.
JJ Watt LT has three. Aaron Donald has three. All-time SAC record is 200. He has 125. Oh, I think he'll have the old-time sack record.
It's Bruce Smith's market. No, I know. And I think he'll wind up with the old-time sacks record. Certainly since The stat that, again, just to invoke Teron Armstead, the 12-year Veteran offensive lineman who came in the show in studio last week. fresh from Good Morning Football, fresh from NFL Network, which means he was Here fresh with a statistic from NFL.
network research. That in Miles Garrett's career, the number of games in which he was on the field rushing the opposing quarterback with a lead of a touchdown or more. in his career. I couldn't believe this number. The number was eight.
Only eight times. Did he go out on the field and have a... lead to use as leverage to go Pin his ears back. He might have that in the first eight games of the corporate. Correct.
You know? Um, so that will manifest itself. And like I said, you know There is a tremendous amount of talent on the defensive line with him. that if he's doubled Then the other guys are going to get going. Or the other guys could get off and suddenly.
Garrett sees fewer doubles because of it. Or just a tight end or a single. Yeah. Right. So I don't think I think the all-time sack record is in within reach.
He just needs two more Defensive Player of the Year trophies. No, I I understand that. Yeah. Um So he would need two more. DPO wise.
I'll say this is not an overreaction. I think this is.
Okay. I think it's reasonable that he's halfway home to the record. And PPO-wise. And he's more than halfway home to the record for most sacks. Yeah.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'll go with that for you. That's not an overreaction.
Okay. Here's a topic I see. Mouth? I forgot. Jay Felly laughed at that off screen.
I appreciate that. Dad jokes. You know what I mean? Dad jokes, nothing but dad jokes. I don't think that's an overreaction.
Well done. Thank you for that. He's miles to go. You d but that's spelled M I.

Just one part that makes O'Reilly stand apart. the professional parts people. Oh, oh, oh.
Alrighty. Auto parts. I saw New Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley talking about the tush push and how he thinks his team is going to be good enough to run it this time. All right, Malik Willis has got the. The bottom half.
And this hasn't really been a topic in a season or two, but I think several teams are going to run the tush push this season, not just the Eagles and Bills, which is going to reopen the banning talk because of how ugly this play is. The only way the banning talk will be reopened again is if somebody does it. In the Super Bowl? No, no.
Somebody goes to the Super Bowl and wins it. By doing it. By doing it. A lot. A lot.
Yeah. Because that's the reason why. Everybody wanted to ban it. is because the Eagles used it. and not only used it, they...
What did they use it fewer times last year? They may have, I don't know. I mean, the felt that they used it to. Fewer wins. They used it to a lesser effect.
They got one and done. But if they keep on using it and they start using it and then they win it all with it, whoever does that, then it will reopen the talk to Bannet. But there's a reason why everyone's just like eh. last year. It's because the team that won it all Using it to great effect over and over and over again wasn't as good doing it.
With it.
So is I I I can't answer this question. Until I see who does it and to what effect, winds-wise.
Okay, not touchdowns wise, wins wise. And certainly if it's the Eagles doing it again, I'll be like, yeah, get it out of here. Certainly, if the Eagles win it all again, it's just curious to me to see a new head coach in a new spot being like, Oh, yeah, yeah, we're gonna do this. Right. But it's interesting because, if I'm not mistaken, the team that put the ban Talk on the table that asked for a vote was Green Bay, and Jeff Hafley was the defensive coordinator there.
At the time and couldn't and was the guy in charge of The side of the ball that couldn't stop it. And we were having fun with saying, This is the, if you can't stop it. Bannett Conversation. And this team was the one that led it to the point where we had an Eagles fan call in. To play the win-loss game for the Eagles.
And when it came time to the Eagles-Packers game on the win-loss, he said, not only would we win it. but will win it 22 to 10, which was the final vote. In favor of banning it, and they were two votes shy. 24 is what you need. And it was Green Bay the one that put it on the table.
So I find it interesting that a coach who's saying, I want to use it. Yeah, that got my ear, Scott. Yeah, I think it's all well and good. But the reason why it wasn't even on the table like it was before to ban it is because the team that was using it. Most famously, to win it all, Got one and done last year and had a lot of questions about their offense and what's going on over there.
So, whoever uses it to the most successful effect, and if they make it to the Super Bowl and win it, Oh, you bet at next year's owners meeting we're going to hear like, we got to get rid of it.
So, um I I think it will reopen the band talk if one of the as you put on the bottom line there, at the bottom of the screen, the topic bar, several te if one of the several teams that will start using it does make it to the Super Bowl and wins it, then that'll happen.
So for the moment, I'll call this an overreaction. You mentioned Dan Campbell earlier. He had another great quote that caught my eye. It probably caught a lot of fantasy owners' ears as well. Jameer Gibbs, going to be our bell cow.
That is a very specific phrase. Yes, sir. Bell cow. Yes, sir. Dave Montgomery gone.
Yes, sir. Only Gibbs conceivably in the backfield. Gibbs is going to break Barry Sanders' Lions total yards record and be a finalist for MVP. All right. So, what is the total yards record?
2,358 of Barry's MVP season. Back in 97. That is going down.
So, Gibbs, based on what you're saying. is not coming off the field. Gibbs had about 1800 total yards last year.
So it's not too far off. 500 more? Bell Cow. That that was whoa, Belcow.
Okay, let's go. That's what caught my ear, and I think that it is in the realm. I mean, he's going to be, if not the first player taken in your fantasy draft, second. And so the opportunity is there for him to really go nuts this year. Hmm.
Yeah. MVP finalist We've seen running backs in the top five in the last couple of years. Yeah, like McCaffrey. McCaffrey, Saquon should have won both those guys should have won MEP. Right.
I'll just say this is so tough. I'll say no. I'll say overreaction, but I understand what you're saying. I understand what you're saying. Who did they get to back him up?
It won't be, well, it was Isaiah Pacheco. Right. Okay. Is he gonna vulture? Mmm, are we bringing him in from the five-yard end?
Is Isaiah Pacheco the sneakiest vulture? The under the radar vulture. He's the must-handcuffed, speaking in fantasy terms. Is he? Does he?
Yeah. I don't know. I mean, are they really going to use him? They got to spell him. I mean, like, I'm saying if Gibson is out there, I mean, if Gibbs is out, Gibson's not going to be out there all the time.
Because we don't know how he's going to hold up, do we? McCaffrey is a litany of injury history, yet he's out there every single play. I got it. I got it. I got it.
I'll just call this an overreaction. It's too. It's too it's too tall an order. But I do think it's an under-the-radar conversation. Because in the same way that the Tush push is not being discussed as much anymore, the Lions aren't either because they.
They were a disappointment last year. Big time. And took the proverbial and literal step back last year.
So folks are kind of overlooking. what this team could do. Um so And I can't wait to see what Gibbs is. Do you take he or Bijan first overall? in fantasy.
You take Bijan, right? I think I take Bijan just because the. But he's two? He's two, for sure. I mean, he's.
If you've got the second overall pick, you've got Jameer Gibson. You are so happy because you take whoever falls into your lap. Right. And you feel great about it all season long.
Okay. Okay, what else over there? I'm looking at divisions, right? We know the AFC, NFC West, probably the best division of football, right? I don't think you could.
And in years past, it's the AFC West, and in some years, it's been the AFC North. And the NFC North was awesome last year. Where are you going with this? The last few seasons, okay, we've had four years in a row. A single division has had forty combined wins.
Okay. Last year, the NFC West had forty one. A few years ago, the AFC North had forty three. No more of just one. We're going to have two divisions this year, Rich.
I said two divisions. Combine for 40 plus wins this season. No, no, that's a lot. I mean, that's a lot, dude. That means How many that does that mean two divisions have barely a five hundred?
A team barely at 500 winning their division. And you could game that out. It's been the NFC South and North Central. It's all South Division. The AFC South.
It could be the NFC East. Beat up on each other, and they go. A winner goes eight and nine in that. No, no chance there. No chance there.
I don't think there's any chance there. Two divisions are just going to kick so much ass, and then we're going to have 40-plus wins, double-dose.
So, two divisions are going to have people basically. Missing the you're going to have Both conferences have multiple divisions. With A ten-win team missing the playoffs. Basically, or two divisions get three playoff teams. I think that's still just a tall order.
I think there's still just too much parody. I see where you're going with it. I see where you're going with it. Call your two divisions. The West.
I think, I think, I think NFC West. I think both Wests. Yeah, 40 wins. If you had to peg that, I would go there. With Arizona and Arizona and the Raiders, maybe getting like four or five wins, and then that, you know, put.
Okay. But I'll still call that an overreaction. But I see, I. I see what you're put putting down. The Stanley Cup final on ABC is more than a quest for the cup.
It's 134 years of putting it all on the line and the heaviest 35 pounds ever lifted. It's broken curses and broken hearts. But for those chasing it, it's everything. The only question is, who will take it? You just have to watch the Stanley Cup final presented by Geico on ABC and the ESPN app.
What else?
Some underrated news that we didn't get to hit on last week. We saw everything else kind of going on is that Micah Parsons isn't going to be back until late October. Yeah. Okay. Had another cleanup, and you know, they reset the nine-month timeline that the Packers have for guys coming back from knee injuries.
So he's at least at the earliest a mid-season, you know, back on the field for Green Bay. Yes. And I think this closes the book. It's officially official. Jerry Jones won the Micah Parsons trade.
Mm. We can't say that yet. It's still too early. But I understand where you're going with this one too. What the Dallas Cowboys did last year.
Um By trading Micah Parsons. and turning him into what they've turned him into, right? in terms of Kenny Clark. And in terms of taking the draft capital and moving it around, and adding Quentin Williams, and then getting Rashawn Gary, and then moving things around and in this year past year's draft, and and getting who they got correct Um Looks great. And you got CeeDee Lamb out here saying our defense is a menace to go against in practice.
I do think so.
Okay. And, and, Anybody who pushes back on that. would be Still locked in on The reasons why Parsons got traded. Right, but it was so bat guano to be born out of a handshake agreement and what a handshake means. And then Jerry Jones throughout the entire summer being like, every Cowboys fan, sleep easy until three weeks later.
And then Parsons is on a training table during a preseason game, just lying there. And it was a mockery of a sham of two mockeries of a sham. And it looked ridiculous. He didn't know his agent's name. Right.
All of that stuff. Um but at the end of the day, the Cowboys have vastly improved their team. And if the behind-the-scenes stuff between the team and Micah Parsons is to be believed, they removed somebody that either A, didn't want to be there, or B, a lot of people on the other side didn't want to have around anymore. Grinding gears. I get that.
But Parsons still has a. huge career ahead of him. And If the Packers do have a good first half of a season and if you will stay afloat and if not better, I don't know what's going on with Josh Jacobs, which is a massive. question mark as well. Then Micah Parsons will be.
a if he does return healthy. A great midseason pickup. To say the least. And then let's see what he does. I want to see.
And then let's see what he does for the rest of his career.
Okay. And let's see how it all plays out. But yes A big Upside For the Cowboys defense, and it is born out of the way the Cowboys handled the trade and the capital they got from it. Absolutely. More likely to win their division this year, Packers or Cowboys.
I would go Cowboys. You know, I put the Cowboys in my top five of my way too, too early. Power rank? I agree with you. I agree with you.
Okay, and so, or did I leave out a two? It might have been a way too, too, too early power rank. It was three, two? I don't remember. Yeah.
But it was still way too early. Um yeah, I put the Cowboys in my top five. Because I'm down with that. Their offense returns, and we're assuming it's going to be just as good. Mm-hmm.
And the Cowboys defense. Let's check the box, man.
Well, assuming that George Pickens is not traded. I don't believe he will be. I don't believe he will be. Never know. What else, Chris?
Okay, here's another team that people are high on the way they finish coming in at the end of last year, and expectations are kind of through the roof for 2026. But Something happened last week. Should give everyone pause. Bears fans should be 100% worried about Caleb Williams on the Madden cover. Sh Okay.
'Kay. If you want to worry about the future of the Chicago Bears and you're a Bears fan, this is absurd. Madden cover. Who cares? I don't care how sick it looks.
It is the coldest cover I've ever seen. It's great. But I love it because he is on the Madden cover.
So what?
So much. That historically, Rich, has not been a good omen about what's coming in the following season. I got it. I got it. If you want to worry about the Bears long term Short short term's one thing.
I I I don't have any c worries about the bearish short term. I really don't. I mean, that coach is the right amount of crazy. He's insane. He's pissed and joining it.
I know, get your phone's on the phone on this man's podium. Put a do not disturb on, man. Don't let it ring and have him basically say, Here's the phone. I don't want to be dis you know, I don't want to be interrupted anymore. Psychotic.
Yeah. And so I'm not concerned about the Bears' ability to get better. Um and You know, I think Again, I am biased. Colston Loveland. I would get him in your fantasy.
Yeah, he's going to go pretty high. I mean, this guy's two have a connection and And if you're wondering, well, who's going to catch a pass? DJ Moore's gone. Roma Dunzi's already talking about, you know, an injury from last year, still, you know, he's still dealing with it. Loveland is going to.
Loveland made up for it last year in the playoffs. He was already going off. He might be their best pass catcher. Correct. So I'm, and then the running game.
I'm not concerned about it. But there are bigger things in play, Rich. The universe, you don't want to mess with messing with the universe. How about moving to Indiana? How about having this hanging over?
Well, it's not a coincidence that the Magic cover comes out and then the Indiana news breaks.
Well, I mean, I don't know what the hell's going on there. It's weird. And every Bears fan I speak to is freaking out. And I'm like, why in the world can't they figure out how to stay put where the hell they are? I mean, that is truly one of the most remarkable stadiums.
What is wrong with Soldier Field? Just upgraded. I don't know. I don't obviously there's something going on. And you know, new stadiums also have developments around them.
And obviously, in where they are in Chicago, may not Afford the Bears that opportunity like some other large place will be. But honestly, I don't know if Hammond, Indiana is going to have the same. Feel for Bears fans to go to a game to. Than going to the spot where they currently have on the south side of Chicago. I that one I just don't get.
And I'm not overreacting here. Like, this is real. This is 100% real, and I don't know what that's going to mean to fans and things like that. And I'm not saying it's going to affect things on the field. I'm just talking about the fandom and what they're thinking about.
So Madden Carter. I would be more. Both are uncontrollable for the Bears fans. But one causes them to change the way that they go to the game and think about going to the game or wanting to go to the game, and the other one doesn't. What else had happened?
This is an overreaction. All right. All right. Two more. Landscape of the AFC.
You know, we had a lot of usual suspects missed the playoffs last year. Yeah. There's going to be at least four New AFC playoff teams. In 2026, all right. Last year, there were only two.
Give me the ones, give me the ones that aren't making it. They're only the ones that aren't making it.
So you're going to throw the Chargers in there, right? Because I know you're like, well, here's the thing: you got to look at who didn't make it, right? Chiefs didn't make it. Correct. Bengals didn't make it.
Ravens didn't make it.
So we think they're all back in, yeah. Um so I mean, who do you take out? You take out Jacksonville. You're going to take out the Chargers. I know what you're going to do.
I don't know. You take out the Steelers. You swap the Steelers out for one of those. Maybe the fourth. Probably the Patriots.
You got to put them out, right? What do you think? That was a flash in the pan. I know you don't. I mean, I don't, but I think a lot of people force too many.
I think a lot of people do. Force too many. That'd be a hell of a lot of turnover, Pell. Yeah. Only two new playoffs.
I mean, the Texans. You're going to take them out? Sure. Hmm. Okay.
Denver? Yeah. That's why I love it. Every year we have this guy. I love it.
I know four teams is a large number. But I'm saying, I'm looking at who didn't make it last year and those quarterbacks. Right. And so that's Marlborough and Mahomes. Right.
Two of those guys are at least back in, and then we get the traditional turnover. Every year it's half. Put a pin in it. I'll call this an overreaction for the moment. I appreciate it.
But this is great fodder, food for thought for a half. AFC is stacked. Yeah. Yeah. AFC is stacked.
The NFC's still better though, right? I got the champs. Yes, they do. And then the team that everybody thinks will be the champs. Correct.
Yeah. Same division. And the other team that almost was the one seed, despite having all the injuries, to people like Fred Warner and George Kittle and Bose, who they're going to all get back. And cowboys are better. Oh, baby.
Bud Rich. Only one team got the trophy last year. They're getting their rings this week. I'm not sure if you saw that. Seattle on the 11th.
Yes. And we're still not giving the Seahawks enough respect as defending champs when we talk about 2026. I agree. You didn't even have them number one in your power. I had them too.
They're the champs. I actually didn't. I had them three. Is anyone talking about Sam Darnow as a player? Because I put it in.
I thought I had to put an AFC team. I I I'd ag Call my shot with my way too soon power rankings by having one and two, an NFC and then an AFC team to try and see who would win the Super Bowl. And the championships. And I had both Los Angeles teams one and two. Yeah, you did.
I did. Yeah. I did. We don't talk about Mike McDonald as a top-five coach. We don't talk about Sam Darnold as a top-five quarterback.
We had Seattle second. And then late votes came in and we counted late. Oh, like a week later? Yeah, yeah. 'Cause you know, you have a week to get your votes in.
All the mail in. For at least that's the way I handle my things to the law and I count every vote in my head. Every vote in the head. And people around the country might some think that I well they think it's weird I just you know I I just changed it just changed it yeah you know because that's the way things work here in LA yeah they all came for one team but anyway long story short is Seattle is not getting that respect. I agree.
Um and that again the reason why I think is because of the quarterback. I mean, if I had a pegged He's not on the runway, I guess. He's not on the cover of Madden. Why wasn't he on the cover of Madden? They won the trophy.
Oh, come on. Who's got more swag and who's got more. Who's got more rings? Who cares? Who doesn't?
I know. Honestly. Like, who? Honestly, I mean, I get it. That's.
You're trying to sell video games. It's not like there are these kids going, man, I see Sam Darnold on the cover, I got to get it. I'm spitting truth here, man. I'm not lying. And by the way, you know who likes it that way?
Sam Darnold, right, right. Sam Darnold does. And offensive player of the year. Right. Let's see.
I am 100%. Certain. That the Seahawks are as good this year as they were last year. I agree with you. I am 100% certain the coach did swap out their offensive coordinator.
Those things are. Take a toll, I would think. Yeah, that's Jalen Hurts. And And they did, you know. The their running back room is Far less experienced coming into the season with Zach Charbonnet coming back from injury and.
The MVP of the Super Bowl being a Kansas City Chief right now, they've got a rookie. Injodarian Price I mean, I'm going through the... The, you know. changes that could potentially have them Um one win fewer. Which is all it takes.
to put you on the road as opposed to a division winner at home. When it is all the chips are down, And that's one of the more fascinating stories this year: the title defense for the Seattle Seahawks. When's their first game against the Rams? Um I have it right here. They they don't play until late in the season.
They have got both Rams games. It's week 16. No, last two, last two of the last three weeks. Week 16 is a Christmas Day game in Seattle. And then the last game of the year is just up the road against the Rams in week eight.
Probably for the one season.
So the Seattle and the Rams are just going to be. Going about their business for the first 15 weeks of season. until they face one another. Which arguably, all due respect to the Niners fans, will leave the NFC West open for business. Unless the Rams Go into that week 16 game undefeated.
14 and 0. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, I can't wait. Good stuff, Chris. Thank you.
Good fun. That wraps up this edition of Overreaction Monday. Once again, this was Sports Center as a new offering from this studio here and all the other places where I've conducted interviews. From them all over. Right.
I went to Connecticut to Dan Patrick's Dan Patrick Show Studio for episode one. It really was a raw and honest and fun and nostalgia-filled conversation. That's great. Episode, that's episode one. Episode two, Chris Berman dropped on Monday of this week.
So it's just fresh out if you're listening to Overreaction Monday on a Monday. And that Chris Berman conversation will lead to episode three that comes out Friday with Mike Greenberg. Greenie is third up on this was Sports Center. There's also no contest wrestling. There's also on this set, this stage goes away and Women's Sports Now comes back.
Boy, the WNBA season is lit. Every single day is just filled with drama.
So, Women's Sports Now is all over that. You can catch that every single Thursday, 6 Eastern Time on all the ESPN platforms for Chris. I am Rich. Thanks for taking over Reaction Monday. Peace out.
Ah. Uh
