Anyone catch Mike and Mike this morning? Don't have a link, I listen to it using the ESPN radio app (free) and you can download a lot of shows and listen to them
edit: here's the ESPN link, you might need to sign up or something. I recommend getting the ESPN Radio app:

Anyway, I personally really enjoy listening to Mike and Mike. And it's the one show I listen to daily. Seems that some people don't like them. That can be a discussion for another day
Chris Carter is sitting in for Golic today (I don't like CC as much) and he and Greeney are talking about "NFL Mulligans" i.e. after week 1, what is the one pick you had pre-season that you'd like to change
Here are some bullet points:
* Greeney said he'd like to change his Seahawks pick. That's pretty interesting seeing as how there were a lot of interesting things that happened in Week 1.
* Greeney said he originally had the Seahawks at 10 and 6, but now after going through the schedule with CC, they both estimate possibly 14 and 2.
* And they also discussed while it is easy to overreact after week 1, is it possible that Seattle is really that good?
* Greeney said he and Golic discussed it more yesterday and when ranking the teams would almost rank the Hawks # 1, no one # 2, and then start the rest of the league from # 3 on
Interesting stuff, especially coming from CC. I do think that it seems the media has become very polarizing on the Hawks, either they've really fully supported the Hawks or they are very stubborn in staying against the Hawks.
In the first case, I don't want to say media has jumped on the bandwagon, because I'd rather see it as the Super Bowl really opened their eyes to the Hawks and they are fully aware of how good they are. In the second case, I think if anything, the stubborn people staying against the Hawks need to open their eyes a bit more.
As an example, picking against the Hawks just because history is not on their side is fairly ignorant. That means you are taking nothing else into account: what you see, what you hear, what you feel. You are just going by history alone.
Thoughts?
