(00:00 - 24:35) - The Friday Show with Brian Noe and Jimmy Cook kick things off with a quick Android vs. iPhone debate. UCLA lost to Gonzaga last night in the Sweet Sixteen. Noe equates the loss to Indiana's exit from the tournament in the Round of 32 this year. Cook and Noe compare and contrast if you'd rather lose by a blow out like Indiana or lose a close one like UCLA. Even though they lost, UCLA could benefit from the fact that their loss was close in recruitment. A look back through famous close losses in college and NFL history. How often does the "best team" win a championship and which of the four teams that won last night has the strongest chance of making the finals?

(24:36 - 39:24) - Bluegrass music might not make great bump back music, but we are going to try anyway. Bryce Young is still seen as the number one quarterback to take in the draft, at least according to Todd McShay of SportsCenter. Pro-days can't be the most important part of evaluating a player, especially a quarterback who has yet to experience your system at all. Will Levis draft stock has been impacted largely by things outside of his control. He hasn't been able to stay 100% healthy and hasn't always had the best pieces around him.  

(39:25 - 41:47) - The "QB Push Sneak" which looks much like a rugby scrum has not been outlawed by the NFL yet. The competition committee didn't even take a look at the issue. Teams have said that if the rules are not changed, they will run the play frequently.

(41:48 - 1:13:16) - The Lamar Jackson situation is getting even more out of hand. A memo was sent out today saying that "Ken Francis" was reaching out to other teams on behalf of Jackson. The NFL stated in the memo that teams are only to negotiate with Jackson and that anyone found to be talking to Francis would run the risk of having their future contract with Jackson terminated. Jackson denied on Twitter ever having Francis reach out on his behalf to any team. Cook questions why the NFL would lie about such a thing and make up a name as generic as Ken Francis. Frank Isola of ESPN's Around The Horn and Sirius XM joins mid-segment and immediately gives his take on who Jackson will be playing for next season. Isola mentions how Jackson's injuries are a bigger deal than people think about the longevity of his career. Talking Indiana Pacers, Isola thinks that Indiana is in a terrific spot to be one of the teams to beat next year. He thinks the play in tournament doesn't really hold the value the NBA thinks it does or wants it to. 

(1:13:17 - 1:21:43) - Another run through of the competition committee not looking at the QB Push Sneak. The Colts could benefit from this tactic if they draft a young mobile quarterback like Will Levis or C.J. Stroud. Noe notes that while Indianapolis could take advantage of this, he is not a fan of the tactic.

(1:21:44 - 1:24:20) - Noe's bracket is back to life like The Undertaker. It was off to a rough start as Arizona and Purdue got eliminated early.

(1:24:21 - 1:52:08) - Kevin Bowen of The Fan morning show Kevin and Query joins the show to express his elation over Micah Shrewsberry signing on as the Notre Dame head coach. Bowen addresses the rumors that he went shirtless on the morning program yesterday in honor of Shrewsberry's decision. Cook and Bowen start talking about Colt's cap space and free agency. How much will Indianapolis need to hold to feel safe going into negotiations in this next season. Colt's General Manager Chris Ballard has proven to be a light spender in previous years. Bowen is slightly worried that early career quarterbacks could be at a disadvantage given how the offensive line performed last season. A young quarterback will be put under pressure early and often next season and might be set up for failure if the O-line does not improve drastically. Brian has some Tony Horton vibes.

(1:52:09 - 2:02:34) - What are some sports moments that Jimmy Cook and Brian Noe can look at and say, "I was there." Jimmy caught some highlights from the Chiefs as well as a Kentucky Derby. Brian was live for Wisconsin beating an undefeated Kentucky team at the Final Four in Indy. He also was in attendance for a Colts/Jets game where he managed to run into New York staple "Fireman Ed."
