Peyton Manning In MVP Form With Analysis of Josh Rosen
Having your game film broken down by an NFL legend on the same day you have to suit up to play has to be tough.
That’s the case for Josh Rosen, who was a source of interest on the first NFL edition of “The Detail”.
On Thursday, ESPN’s sports streaming service ESPN+ released the first ever NFL version of this show which sports legends breakdown game film on athletes within their profession.
Future NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning took his try on the show by analyzing the Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback.
Manning found himself impressed with the 21-year-old quarterback while breaking down the film of Josh Rosen’s Week 6 performance.
“I love the confidence and the aggressiveness to make throws into tight coverage. That will serve him well,” Manning said of a 35-yard completion by Josh Rosen early in the first quarter vs Minnesota Vikings.
Manning also spoke highly of Rosen’s ability to identify coverages and blitzes from the Minnesota Vikings defense.
Manning was not harsh on the young quarterback, offering him high praise throughout for his ability to play in tough conditions at a loud U.S. Bank Stadium.
Of his criticisms of Rosen was missing a wide open wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald on a crossing route for a touchdown on the same play where he made the 35-yard completion to wide receiver Christian Kirk.
Arizona came away with a field goal on the drive, but it could’ve been more. There were some miscues like a bad handoff, hesitation on a pass rolling out to a running back and nearly throwing a redzone interception that received some mention, but overall Manning was fair in his assessment.
Josh Rosen and the Cardinals, trailing by 17 points with a little over nine minutes to go, put together a touchdown drive to make it a 27-17 game with a little over six minutes to play.
That drive impressed Manning, who went on to reminisce about his rookie season back in 1998 and tried aligning his rough experiences with those that Rosen and others like him will endure.
“I used to throw a lot of interceptions in these games (trailing by double-digits in the fourth quarter). I used to kinda say, ‘Hey coach, if you need to take me out it’s not the worst thing in the world’,” Manning said.
“I was tired of throwing all of these interceptions. Coach Mora he kept me in there. You learn a lot about yourself. You learn a lot about football in the fourth quarters of these games you’re not supposed to win and I think Josh did that in this series.”
Josh Rosen finished the game going 21-for-31 with 240 passing yards and 1 INT in a 27-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Peyton Manning during his rookie season threw a career-high 28 interceptions while completing only 56.7 percent of his passes. He would start all 16 games for the Indianapolis Colts, who went 3-13.
That season was nothing more than a blimp on his radar, however, as today he ranks near the top of every statistical category at quarterback in NFL History.
Manning finished his NFL career throwing for 71,940 passing yards (2nd in NFL History), 539 TDs (1st in NFL History), 251 INTs while finishing with a 96.5 Passer Rating.
Josh Rosen made his first career start back in Week 4 vs the Seattle Seahawks where he passed for 180 passing yards and 1 TD in a 20-17 loss.
He picked up his first career win the following week in a 28-18 win vs the San Francisco 49ers.
Rosen and the Arizona Cardinals host the Denver Broncos Thursday night at State Farm Stadium.

John Krasinski has come a long way from being Jim Halpert in “The Office.” Not only has he starred in the Amazon show “Jack Ryan” but he wrote, directed and starred in this year’s hit movie “A Quiet Place.”
The small budget horror film, which focused on a family living in silence as they hide from monsters who hunt sound, grossed $332.5 million worldwide, so a sequel seemed inevitable. Now it’s official, and Krasinski is one again penning the script.
Do we really need another “Quiet Place?” I thought the first movie was enjoyable, but as I thought about it more and more, the less it made sense. That’s fine, because I was entertained in the packed theater, but I’m not sure it’s destined to be a classic like some have assumed.
It also ended in a way that seemed to wrap everything up (Emily Blunt’s shotgun cocking was affective, if not a little corny). Since John Krasinski won’t be able to appear in the sequel (I’m not getting blamed for spoiling it for you. It’s been out for months; why haven’t you seen it yet?) he seems to have a good enough idea — or have been offered a big enough paycheck — to return and scribe a sequel.
In all honestly, I’ll probably see “A Quiet Place 2” but will I like it? I’m skeptical. A mostly silent horror movie makes for some good jump scares and the characters were developed well enough I suppose, but I felt as though it was far from the best horror movie of the year. “Hereditary” was much more uncomfortable and thought provoking, but that’s not getting a sequel.
If you’ve seen “Hereditary” a sequel wouldn’t really make sense, but does a sequel to “A Quiet Place” really make sense? Is it just going to be Emily Blunt and the kids killing the monsters, now that they know their weakness? I bet it’ll intersplice flashbacks of the monsters’ rise to power in between Blunt shooting them, which could potentially be interesting, or it could be like any other apocalyptic monster movie ever made.

“A Quiet Place 2” is set to be released on May 15, 2020 but with no script, a delay in its release wouldn’t surprise me.
Are you excited for “A Quiet Place 2” or do you feel similarly to my thoughts on a sequel? Let me know in the comments below!
If you haven’t heard of Netflix’s animated series “Big Mouth” you might be missing out. The show, which released its second season earlier this month, the TV-MA cartoon focuses on a group of middle schoolers going through puberty. While, for the most part, the boys are visited by the Hormone Monster, a manifestation of their pubescent minds voiced by co-creator Nick Kroll, the girls are visited by the Hormone Monstress, voiced by Maya Rudolph. The Hormone Monstress is, without a doubt, the best part of the show.

These two characters, but especially the female Monstress, voice all of the kids innermost desires and their thoughts as they start going through puberty, so they’re often saying especially ridiculous things. “This boy is a tall lumpy dumpt drink of water and we are thirsty,” “Like Stanley Kowalski picking you up and thrusting you onto a kitchen counter like you ain’t nothing” and “because I don’t use deoterant and I only take bubble baths” are some of her best lines. On their own, they’re relatively amusing, but the way Rudolph changes her voice and enunciates random letters have me dying of laughter each episode.
The Hormone Monster and Monstress often meet to bargain sex between the kids they’re helping, much like a corporate boardroom. It’s ridiculous and overtly provocative, but the metaphor for teenager’s pubescent urges is prevalent and interestingly done.
While her pronounciation of “buhbble bahyth” is hysterical, I think the best moment of the series is when the Monstress convinces Jessie to shoplift from the pharmacy. She totally embodies the thoughts everyone’s had at least once, and the way she screams the F-word with emphasis on random, drawn out letters consistently kills me.
Of course, there are plenty of other reasons to watch “Big Mouth.” Kroll and John Mulaney are both also great as the boys (among other roles) and Coach Steve is the weirdest, most innpropriate gym/sex ed teacher in existance (he refers to sex as making “thick in the warm”). The show really is terribly innapropriate and tries to push the boandries as much as possible, but since it’s a cartoon, it’s more acceptable. It really accurately portrays kids minds as they start becoming adults while still being laugh out loud funny.
The first two seasons of “Big Mouth” are available to stream on Netflix right now.
Giancarlo Stanton may be viewed at as public enemy No. 1 in New York, but Yankee fans will concur with him on his World Series pick.
Or lack thereof.
Giancarlo Stanton, who’s Yankees were bounced last week in the ALDS by the Boston Red Sox, told TMZ Sports who he’s going for to win the World Series.
“I’m rooting for a draw,” Stanton said.
Not spending too much time with TMZ as he headed inside of a vehicle with others behind him, Stanton curbed his amusement some by saying he just hopes to see a great World Series.
The Boston Red Sox currently hold a 3-1 edge over the Houston Astros in the ALCS. Game 5 is tonight as Boston looks to wrap up the series.
Meanwhile the Los Angeles Dodgers own a 3-2 series lead vs the Milwaukee Brewers, but will need to win another game at Miller Park to advance to the World Series.

Magic Joins First Take To Discuss Lakers Upcoming Season
There are high hopes in Laker land this season to return to their past glory.
No one knows that better than Los Angeles Lakers’ president of basketball operations Magic Johnson.
Ahead of the LeBron James’ highly anticipated Los Angeles Lakers, Magic Johnson spoke ESPN’s First Take on Thursday about his expectations for the 2018 NBA season.
The Los Angeles Laker great believes that the Los Angeles Lakers will have a strong regular-season that culminates in Los Angeles making the postseason.
“Rob (Pelinka) and I actually built this team really for the playoffs. This a playoff team,” Johnson said on the show. “I think that when we get to the playoffs we’re gonna be a tough team to beat.”
In addition to the huge signing of LeBron James this past offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers went out and signed notable free agents such as Rajon Rondo, JaVale McGee, Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley.
The Los Angeles Lakers enter this season with the third best odds to win the Western Conference, but the absence of a legitimate, ready-made star next to LeBron James have people questioning those odds.
Johnson when speaking on that topic said that when it comes to a player emerging to take the load of LeBron James’ shoulders, he expects that player to be Brandon Ingram.
“It’s gotta be Brandon Ingram because every year he’s taken a step forward. He’s gotten better and better,” Johnson said on the show. “He has the game to score 20 points a night. We’ve seen signs of that. So if Brandon can take the step that we all feel that he can take I feel that will make us a dangerous team.”
The third year forward bounced back from a subpar rookie campaign during the 2016-17 season to average 16.1 PPG, 5.3 RPG, and 3.9 APG.
Ingram, 21, scored 20 or more points in 15 of his 59 games last season as he finished tied for the team lead in points per game with fellow Lakers’ forward Kyle Kuzma.
Looking for improvement from his 2017 first round pick, Magic Johnson is hoping to see Lonzo Ball up his level of aggressiveness as a scorer.
“He has to learn how to attack the paint and get his floaters and then take it all the way to the rim,” Johnson said. “He loves to pass first and that’s fine we want him to stick with that.
“But a lot of times the defense is baiting him now, ‘go ahead and drive the lane we know you’re gonna kick it out’, so they don’t really play him. So he’s gotta take it all the way.
“He’s gotta be able to score and once he’s able to score he can do everything else. He plays defense. He’s one of the best rebounding guards in the league and he knows how to get his teammates great shots. So we want him to keep the pace going because we want to run, run and run (on offense).”
The Los Angeles Lakers looked to sign free agent forward Paul George this past offseason in addition to LeBron James, but when George elected to re-sign with Oklahoma City, the attention shifted to the 2019 free agent class that includes trade target Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler.
The Los Angeles Lakers will have enough cap space to offer any of those players a max contract. For now, Magic Johnson wants to stay in the now, which is a team looking to start something special for one of the NBA’s glamour franchises.
“We’re focused on this season. We feel we’re gonna have a really good season. And then we know next season we’re gonna have cap space for another player. We’ll concentrate only on this season and then we’ll wait and see what happens and what type of player we need to bring in.”
The Los Angeles Lakers open their 2018 season Thursday night on the road vs the Portland Trail Blazers.
