HR1 - Brendan Sorsby going to NFL supplemental draft best decision he could’ve made
In hour one Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, react to the news that Texas Tech star quarterback Brendan Sorsby plans to apply for the NFL's supplemental draft, which seemingly ends the saga over his NCAA eligibility after he admitted to betting on college sports. Mike, Ali, and Beau explain why they think Sorsby going to the NFL supplemental draft gives all of college football relief, but brings a headache to the NFL. The Morning Shift crew also reacts to the news that Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. is back with the team and is expected to take part in this week's minicamp, explain why they think the NFL is likely to let James Pearce Jr.'s whole legal process play out before handing out some sort of ruling or suspension, talk about how that would mean Pearce Jr. would be able to play this entire season for the Falcons, react to the news that the Atlanta Braves have shut down starting pitcher Spencer Strider for four weeks due to inflammation in his right elbow, react to the news that Strider’s recent MRI didn’t show any ligament damage, just inflammation, and that there aren’t any current concerns about him needing surgery. Mike, Ali, and Beau also discuss how they think Braves Manager Walt Weiss, Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos, and the Braves will move forward, explain why they think the Braves should consider using Strider as a bullpen arm once he returns from his shutdown, and then close out hour one by diving into the life of Ali Mac in Ali’s Mac Drop!
