It was quite a morning on Morning Joe in the wake of Georgia turning blue, but that doesn't mean there wasn't time for Joe Scarborough to shoehorn a little Alabama football talk into the rundown. And it didn't seem forced given the glow of DeVonta Smith's Heisman Trophy victory — the first from someone outside the Quarterback-Running Back sphere since Charles Woodson in 1997.
Mike Barnicle, who can be counted on for a solid baseball take as regularly as incisive political commentary, inadvertently placed the Michigan cornerback back in the late-1960s.
