See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes Rory McIlroy sings Journey and a guy throws pasta in road rage… Here are her stories from today.

There is video circulating of Rory McIlroy singing karaoke after he and Shane Lowry’s win at TPC Louisiana this past Sunday night.  Now I know karaoke is not reserved for only people who are talented at singing, but it is for everyone… However, I never sing in public because I know that I don’t sing well.  Now maybe if I had just won the TPC Louisiana, I would’ve been feeling good enough to put myself out there, but probably not.

Rory McIlroy may have just been riding high when he picked up the microphone.  And I’m glad he had fun, but he’s not the most gifted singer in the world.  But I do understand that karaoke is supposed to be fun and anyone, even those that don’t sing very well can and should get up there and sing their little hearts out.  And I will always cheer them on.  So, good on ya Rory.  And it was obvious there was some liquid courage going on that night.

It’s never ok to throw something at someone else.  Never ok… However, when somebody throws something weird… like pasta, it can be a little funny.  And only when nobody is physically hurt.  So, a man in Florida was the victim of a road rage incident recently.

Nolan Goins got upset over some glaring headlights last week and instead of just letting it go, he took a container of pasta with sauce and threw it into the open window of the person who allegedly had the glaring headlight.  Striking the man in the face with pasta and sauce.  Goins was found with pasta sauce stains on the sleeve of his shirt and the passenger seat of his vehicle.  He was charged with battery, a misdemeanor and released on a $1,000 bond.

The 9 Best Reactions To The Eagles Landing Quinyon Mitchell

It would be hard for the draft to go any better for the Eagles on day 1. Quinyon Mitchell was a guy we had dreams of the Eagles trading up for. Turns out, they didn't have to. Quinyon fell right into their lap at pick 22, and they walked away not only addressing their biggest need, but getting one of the best players in the draft.

A Run On QBs Helps The Eagles

Nothing makes NFL teams more desperate than needing a QB. 6 went in the first 12 picks.

We figured Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye would all go early. JJ McCarthy was a late riser too, though he wound up falling to 10 for the Vikings. But two other teams decide to go reaching.

The Falcons, despite just handing Kirk Cousins a massive contract, drafted Michael Pennix Jr. They could have fortified the defense, got him another WR, or given him better protection up front. Instead, they used the 8th overall pick to draft his competition.

Later Bo Nix went off the board to the QB-hungry Broncos. Making 6 Qbs taken in the first 12 picks.

All 12 of those picks were offensive players. 6 QBs, 3 WRs, and 3 OTs. It was about that time you started to dream that maybe one of the top corners would fall to the Eagles. Especially when picks 13 and 14 were also on the offensive side.

Quinyon Mitchell Falls Into Their Lap

Pick after pick went by, and the corners were still there. By the time the Eagles were on the board at pick 22, both Quinyon Mitchell and Terrion Arnold were there for them. They went for the blazing speedster over the multiyear standout from Alabama. It would be hard to argue with either pick though.

Obviously with such a turn of events, it set Eagles' Twitter on fire. But what were the best reactions to the pick?

Here Are The 9 Best Reactions To The Eagles Landing Quinyon Mitchell

Micah Parsons Is Not Happy

Last year we got to see Micah Parsons melt down when the Eagles took Jalen Carter. This year, he was very upset again after the Eagles pick. Mitchell was evidently Parson's favorite player, just like Carter was in 2023. The pick is great enough. The fact it made a Cowboys player that grumpy, just makes it a bit sweeter.

Parsons could always join him in a year or two if he wants.

Philly's Own Kevin Negandhi Loves The Pick

Philly native Kevin Negandhi is out in Detroit covering the draft for ESPN. And he loved the pick. He even came with stats to back it up. 0 Tds allowed in 2023. a 4.33 40. And 7 more pass breakups than any other FBS player. Not too bad.

The Drought Is Over

As mentioned, no corners in the 1st round since 2002. But that drought is over, as Tyrone Johnson pointed out here. Tyrone had been pushing the need for the Eagles to address their defense,a nd to get  player who helps them win next year. And that is exactly what they did.

Slay Hopes Mitchell Comes For His Job

Ignoring the name of the person Slay responded too here, this is cool to see. Slay wants Mitchell to come and compete with him. He seems ready to be a mentor and teach Mitchell how to be an NFL corner. Not many better guys to learn from, as Parsons mentioned in his angry tirade. Thank you as always Slay for being a true pro.

Bill Belichick Approves Of The Pick

For the first time in over two decades, Bill Belichick was not one of the people making picks. Instead, he joined Pat McAfee to cover the draft. And he gave this pick his seal of approval. He expressed some concern about his lack of experience playing man-to-man against elite competition but seemed confident the Eagles could help him develop that skillset.

Quinyon Wants To Be Coached Hard

Quinyon told his Toldeo coaches he wanted to be coached hard. They obliged, and he turned into a 1st round QB. he rewarded Toldeo by sticking with them even when there were opportunities to transfer to bigger programs. Now he is an Eagle and wants his new coaches to keep coaching him hard.

I don't think work ethic or loyalty, is going to be an issue for the newest Eagle.

One Of Our Enemies Likes The Pick

We don't like Chris Simms. The guy has been a Jalen Hurts hater from day 1. even after Hurts went out and proved he belonged, Simms kept hating. But even he had to give the Eagles major props for how great this pick was.

Perfect Night For Philly

The draft went perfectly for the Eagles. And it ended the perfect day. The Phillies won. The Sixers won game 3, with Embiid dropping 50. Now this? Connor is right. That was a beautiful night.

Micah Parsons Again

I am just gonna share this again because I love it so much. Parsons is so mad. It doesn't help that Eagles fan Adam Lefkoe is there to run his face in it. Just a beautiful thing to tack onto an amazing night for the Eagles.
