What the hosts said

MML Football on X just posted a viral singing clip. They say it's new Ravens quarterback Austin Reed.
LWait, that voice is undeniable. I watched the whole room go quiet.
MThe voice is real. It's Bryce Young at Alabama.
LNo. The post says Austin Reed grabbed the mic at a Bears rookie talent show.
MThe Keyshia Cole "Love" clip has been around for years. That's Bryce Young with the Crimson Tide.
LSo the room wasn't watching Reed?
MThe Bears rookie show did go viral, but it was Colston Loveland singing Mario's "Let Me Love You."
LSo they mashed two different viral moments and gave them to Austin Reed.
MAustin Reed gets credit for a karaoke night he wasn't even in.
LThat's perfect for the NFL. Everybody's highlight reels are mislabeled.
MThe caption is a mess, but I get why people want it to be true.
LTo be fair, Bryce Young can sing. Give him that.
MHe can carry a tune. But let's not put him on the Ravens.
LKeyshia Cole did her thing too. That song still hits.
MFun clip, wrong name. Verify before you share it.
LLesson learned. I almost crowned Reed as the Ravens' new franchise singer.
LSpeaking of forced performances, Lew Grant on X posted: "You know that tone Chris Collinsworth has whenever he can't talk about the Chiefs?"
MThat tone is doing a lot of work.
LHe says that's the whole vibe on Fox News talking about the elections.
MI don't think it's forced. Collinsworth genuinely loves watching the Chiefs.
LThat's my point! He's on the call for a national audience, trying to sound neutral, and it comes out weird.
MSo what should he do, pretend they're boring?
LI'm saying he can praise Mahomes, but when the Chiefs are losing, he sounds like he's eulogizing a friend.
MThat's called drama. It's Sunday Night Football, not C-SPAN.
LNo, there's a difference. You can call a great play without sounding heartbroken when the other team scores.
MCollinsworth is an entertainer. He's not doing play-by-play for a courtroom.
LThat's exactly why the forced neutrality is funny. He's trying to be unbiased and it bends him in half.
MFair enough. The Mahomes love is real, and it's not subtle.
LIt's not a crime. It's just a vibe.
MHere's one that will start a fight. Mexi on X posted: "I saw Texas turn blue before witnessing a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl!"
LThat's backwards. Texas flipping is way less likely than Dallas winning another Super Bowl.
MWait, you're taking the Cowboys side?
LI'm taking the side of math. Texas hasn't changed colors in living memory.
MSo you think the Cowboys are closer? The team that hasn't won since the 1995 season?
LThey've got Dak, CeeDee, Micah. They're a playoff team every other year. Texas flipping is once-in-a-generation.
MWe're not doing politics on a sports show. The point is the Cowboys are so sad, fans use elections as the measuring stick.
LNo, the point is that line is unfair. The Cowboys are average, not hopeless.
MAverage? They're the most expensive average team in football.
LSee, nobody judges them on football anymore. It's all jokes about the brand.
MBecause the brand is loud and the trophy case is empty since the Clinton administration.
LOh, come on. They've won playoff games. They're not the Jets.
MPlayoff wins aren't banners. The standard in Dallas is Super Bowls.
LAnd that's why the joke lands. But saying Texas turns blue first? That's colder than anything I've seen.
MIt's a fan account having fun. Don't take it as an election prediction.
LI'm not. I'm taking it as a Cowboys prediction.
MThen you're saying the Cowboys are actually close?
LCloser than Texas flipping. That's all I said.
MI'll take that bet. Dallas will change coaches again before it wins a ring.
LAnd I'll say the team figures it out before the state changes colors.
MWe'll see. But the joke stays undefeated tonight.
LIt's a good line. Even if it hurts.
