Overreaction Tuesday: Giants, MVPs, Michigan

Overreaction Tuesday ran through draft talk, MVP takes, Michigan basketball, and the state of baseball after the first week of the season.

Chris Brockman led with Jeremiah Love. If he falls to the Bengals at 10, Cincinnati has the best offense in football. Rich agreed it'd be a must-take at 10 but pointed out the defense sets the ceiling. Brockman floated an overreaction: the Bengals defense will be better this year. Rich called it.

Next up: second-year QBs making the Drake Maye leap. Brockman picked Cam Ward or Jackson Dart for top-five MVP. Rich called it an overreaction but gave him the respect of the cut of his jib.

Arizona quarterbacks got a segment. Brockman argued Jacoby Brissett will put up more touchdowns and yards than Kyler Murray this year. Rich ran through Kyler's weirdest-ever moment, taking a direct snap off his own helmet then leaving for the season with a foot injury, before calling it an overreaction but noting Kyler's heading to Minnesota with Justin Jefferson.

The Michigan basketball segment got heated. Brockman suggested the Fab Five beats the current Michigan team in a seven-game series. Rich shut it down. The Fab Five has two of the best players on the floor, but Michigan just won the national championship. Rob Pelinka was on that Fab Five team. Rich said he'd have to ask Chris Webber, but his gut was no.

TJ got accused of being a hater and defended himself by saying he masks it better. Rich called him the Forrest Gump of the Rich Eisen Show for his habit of having met every celebrity in existence.

Lakers overreaction: they won't win a single playoff game. Luka injured, Austin Reeves out with an oblique. Magic Johnson tweeted his sad emoji, which Rich roasted as his version of Larry King's old USA Today column.

Closing round: another Dodgers-Yankees World Series feels inevitable. Red Sox are 2-8. Rich ran start-bench-cut on baseball movies: Major League starts, Bad News Bears benched, Sandlot cut. Then he admitted showing his kids Bad News Bears and watching them flip out at Walter Matthau cracking a beer from behind the wheel.
