The Sports Bash ON DEMAND gives you the chance to go back and hear what you missed.  Its the Sports Bash with Mike Gill and Todd Ranck.

Here is today’s show: Friday April 27th, 2012.

The Weekend is set.

2:00 hour

Mike Gill, Todd Ranck and Ryan Messick open up today's show with their opinions on the Eagles 1st round selection of Fletcher Cox.  All three absolutely love the pick and all three agree that the Eagles HAD to move up from 15 to 12 to grab him.

Mike Gill says the Giants fans can't be happy with their selection of RB David Wilson thinking the Giants could have waited until today to draft a replacement for Brandon Jacobs.  The guys are also worried with the Cowboys selection of CB Morris Claiborne, calling him the best defensive player in the draft.

Braydon Coburn calls in

Flyers D Braydon Coburn calls in at 2:45 to discuss the Flyers next opponent in the 2nd round, NJ Devils.  Braydon speaks highly about the Flyers Power Play against the Penguins and enjoyed the week off of watching Game 7 hockey.  Said he was just a "casual observer" last night watching Devils vs. Panthers.

Do you Flyers fans feel confident with this 2nd round match up of Flyers vs. Devils?

3:00 hour

Mississippi State Bulldogs Head Coach Dan Mullen calls in at 3:05 and speaks very highly of his former player and newest Eagles DT Fletcher Cox. Coach Mullen told us all a story about his first time meeting Cox was at a rock climbing wall and "Fletcher was able to get up there in two seconds, I said holy cow."  Mullen says the Eagles "got the steal of the draft" and "Eagles scheme is a great fit."

Reach on Weeden?

The guys bring back the segment wondering if the Browns selection of QB Brandon Weeden as the 22nd selection was too high.  Mike Gill thinks Weeden can play, but he doesn't agree with his draft positioning. The guys think the Browns could have waited until early 2nd round to draft Weeden rather than reaching for Weeden at 22.
