This is the best of the herd with Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio.

Welcome to the herd. Joy Taylor in for Colin Cowherd today. He's enjoying some time off in the

great city of Chicago, which I hope he found

a coach because he did not bring one with him yesterday. Alex Curry is hanging out with me on this

beautiful Friday afternoon. Thank you for joining us today. Alex, how are you doing today?

I'm taking in. I think you just started a new motto in that tease there. He said,

it's Friday. Just relax. Take a deep breath. I was over here. I was like, you're right. I'm going in. I think you just started a new motto in that tease there. You said, it's Friday.

Just relax.

Take a deep breath. I was over here. I was like, you're right. I'm going to take a deep breath. I'm going to relax. Everything's going to be okay. You know, we're very California. I know. Be here now. Breathe. Everything is about breath. Deep breath. Yoga. Get centered. Balance.
