Well, it may be cloudy in Metro Detroit, but it's sunny in my world.

0:04.1

Just a bit of breaking news, a snippet, if you will.

0:07.3

For the second year in a row, Eli Manning has been snubbed by Hall of Fame voters.

0:14.1

You hate to see it.

0:18.2

You're taking pleasure in there.

0:19.7

He sucks.

0:20.5

But you know what? Michael, a wise man once told me

0:25.7

nobody was going to remember this once he gets into the holiday. No, I'm hoping he never gets in.

0:30.4

That's my plan. Belichick will get it. My hope is that Eli becomes modern Lou Whitaker.

0:37.1

I need Eli in there. No. Oh, we have a show prepared. It was almost like the Sam Darnel show. I know. There will be a show prepared, including Eli, calling in life. No, I gave my official statement. Sam Darnold in a Super Bowl, I don't even like the NFL anymore. It's just I don't want to exist in that sports world. Or maybe, you know what? His career just evolved and he got better.

And now people are looking at me because that's what I want. Look at me. Look at me. And I'm important. I have this vote. And I have somebody's fate in my hand. You better be nice to me. Yeah, because the Belichick thing came out last night and every writer tweets, it wouldn't me. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. I don't care that it wasn't. You know, who wasn't?
