TONY RACIOPPI - Tony LOVES Hendon Hooker. He thinks he would have won the Heisman last year and would have been the top guy in the draft should he have stayed healthy. On Kenny Pickett's weight: "He's about 226 right now, he finished the season at about 213." Tony added, "He's one of those dudes that he sets goals and he hits them." Tony said Kenny probably played at 220 at Pitt, but the draft process had him playing below his ideal weight. Breakfast Bytes: Red Sox play-by-play guy screws up the walkoff call. Max Sherzer tossed from a game for cheating. But what if he didn't cheat? Can you wear Penguins or Steelers gear to a Pirates game?
In this week's episode, the boys talk about some recent jersey fouls by the Devils and some Olympic national team jerseys (0:00), Matt Murray on waivers (14:37), and whether retaining on Evander Kane makes him a potential trade chip (30:09).

With a podcast relaunch, we revisit our rules for wearing a jersey. When to put them away after playoffs, how to choose a new player, and why wearing a basketball jersey is never okay
Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the ads because they are put in after we upload the episode) CORRECTION! I say in the episode that Anthony Mantha broke his hand on Adam Erne’s head, but it was Patrik Nemeth. I feel the appropriate amount of shame for making that mistake (very little.) Intro: We re-introduce our listeners to Hannah and Meghan and catch up with what they have been up to recently. Last Quick Cherry Thoughts (8:58 - 10:00) - By now we know it’s time to move on from the Don Cherry discussion, but since Jay wasn’t on WIIM Radio last episode, he wanted to say a couple words. (pretty much literally one minute of words). Babcock Bounced (10:00 - 25:22) - This was the big news in the NHL of late, and we talk about it for a while. Meghan follows Toronto, but I can vouch that she is not part of the annoying Toronto fanbase online, so she has some insights. Reader Question (25:22 - 33:50) - We had one reader question, and it was a tough one! How Buffalo Will They Go? (33:50 - 38:00) - We wanted to talk to Hannah about Buffalo, even though she’s rather we didn’t. Jersey Fouls (38:00 - 47:33) - L.A. and Colorado unveiled their stadium series jerseys. Woof. Game Time! (47:33 - 53:21) - We play a game based on Hannah’s recent major life event. Thanksgiving (53:21 - END) - We go around and discuss hockey related things we are thankful for. ------------------------------------------------------ If you are using a podcast app, you can find both this podcast and WIIM Radio (our podcast devoted to the Red Wings) in the same channel - Winging it in Motown.

Customized names, throwback jerseys, mash-up jerseys? We define the lines that you can cross and the ones that you can’t when you buy a jersey. And are you uncool because you own a jersey of a player younger than you? Listen now:
