The Colin Cowherd Podcast

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

They begin with the strong start for Danny’s Chicago Bears and why every Bears fan should be happy with the results 25 games into Caleb Williams career. (3:00) Colin highlights the importance of getting the quarterback right because the bottom 6-7 teams are completely unwatchable (8:00).

They debate why international NBA stars like Jokic and SGA  in the NBA Finals don’t get as much traffic as stars like Ohntani in the World Series (17:00). They discuss the must-watch nature of the World Series and the  watchability of postseason vs. regular season baseball and debate whether Luka’s brand combined with the Lakers could buck the trend (19:30).

Colin argues he’s been right for years that Joel Embiid was fool’s gold and despite his talent, he doesn’t mesh well within the construct of a team (29:30). 

They talk about the great turnaround in Sam Darnold’s career  and discuss the huge whiffs by the Vikings and Browns letting Darnold and Baker Mayfield leave and thrive elsewhere (36:00).

They look ahead to the upcoming NFL slate and which games they like from a betting perspective (41:30), and debate where the Packers coach stacks up against other coaches in the league (54:00). 

Finally, they give their takeaways from Zohran Mamdani’s win in the NYC mayoral race and Danny is happy he doesn’t have to watch any more ugly  anti -Mamdani political ads. Colin argues that political parties, like NFL teams, are only good when they land their star (1:02:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the football action.

They start with the Ravens beating the Bears without Lamar Jackson and they praise the Ravens for their smart, safe gameplan and agree that the biggest problem for the Bears… is Caleb Williams… and they believe Ben Johnson could move on from the former #1 overall pick (3:30).

They move to the Texans win over a beat-up 49ers team that couldn’t get pressure on CJ Stroud. Colin argues the medical staff may be the biggest issue for the 49ers who have had more players miss games than any other team in the league (14:15).

They pivot to the Eagles drubbing of the Giants and debate whether the game proved the Eagles don’t need AJ Brown and should move him before the trade deadline (27:00). 

They heap praise on Drake Maye for his play in the Pats win over the Browns and argue he’s ascended into a top 8 quarterback in the league. They believe the Pats could win 12 or 13 games and think a trade for AJ Brown could be in order (35:30).

They move to the Denver Broncos drubbing the Dallas Cowboys and Colin argues that Sean Payton used the Cowboys leaky defense to unleash Bo Nix (48:00).

They highlight a very weak 2026 college quarterback draft class (56:00) and argue Brian Kelly’s time at LSU is likely over. (This was recorded before Brian Kelly’s firing)

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

They dive straight into the MASSIVE gambling & match fixing scheme that ended in the arrest of  Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and Damon Jones. They call it the “NBA’s Pete Rose” moment, and Danny argues Chauncey should be thrown out of the Hall of Fame if the allegations prove to be true (3:00).

They discuss the world of underground gambling & the history of the intersection of the mafia, gambling and sports and Danny explains why the level of regulation in legal betting is what caused the players to be caught tanking their player props (11:00).

They argue that these types of scandals will happen as long as the leagues are in bed with the sportsbook, but there’s no going back with the huge money involved, and it’s better to have props monitored and regulated rather than move underground. Danny argues that there’s a solid case to outlaw “under” player props (16:00). 

They also recount Victor Wembanyama’s absolutely insane 40 point performance against the best frontline in the league and debate whether he’s already the best player in the league at 21 years old (26:00).

Then, Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the absolutely insane 4th quarter comeback for the Denver Broncos over the New York Giants (35:15), debate whether the Chiefs have regained their status as the best team in the NFL (47:45) and Colin argues that Shohei Ohtani is the greatest athlete EVER (53:00).

Danny argues that there’s a solid case to outlaw “under” player props (19:00). 

Colin argues basketball is uniquely susceptible to corruption and match fixing due to its more individualistic nature, and why the team-centric, militaristic culture of the NFL would make it hard to pull off in football (28:00) . Danny argues that America is so addicted to sports that even if the Super Bowl was found to be rigged… people wouldn’t tune out. 

They discuss why the leagues have too much money on the line to allow everything to be “rigged” like many fans believe, and Colin explains why conspiracies about refs being in on it are overblown (39:00).

Colin revisits the lead story he had for The Herd that had to be shelved due to the gambling story breaking… Victor Wembanyama’s absolutely insane 40 point performance against the best frontline in the league and debate whether he’s already the best player in the league at 21 years old (59:00).

Finally, Danny brings up the story of a G-league player moving over to college basketball and they both agree… that doesn’t feel right (1:10:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL week 7 Sunday slate. 

They start with a wild finish in Denver where the Broncos beat the Giants on a walkoff field goal after trailing by 18 in the fourth quarter.  Colin argues that Sean Payton should let Bo Nix use his legs more, but that Giants fans should still feel pretty good about the direction of their team under Jaxson Dart (3:00). They move to the Packers win over the Cardinals and highlight Micah Parson’s role as a “closer” for Green Bay, with 3 game changing sacks but point to issues with the Packers offense.  They argue the Cardinals are a better team than their 2-5 record (13:15).

They pivot to the Bears win over the Saints and Colin believes the Bears should lean more on the run game and a defense that’s playing much better rather than putting it all on Caleb Williams and despite their choppiness, they’re a well coached team under Ben Johnson (25:45).

The move to the Chiefs beatdown of the Raiders and Colin declares the Chiefs once again… look like the best team in the league. They highlight the additions of Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy into the offense as opening things up and now they’re firing on all cylinders (34:00).

They recap the Cowboys clobbering the Commanders and Colin argues the Cowboys may have the best offense in the league and George Pickens was the steal of the offseason. John believes Brian Schottenheimer should be the frontrunner for coach of the year (46:00).

They move to the Eagles win over the Vikings and highlight a great performance from Jalen Hurts in the passing game and the struggles of the Vikings to get quality quarterback play (53:00). 

They pivot to the Rams beatdown of the Jags in London and Colin’s takeaway is Sean McVay is the 2nd best coach in the league after Andy Reid. They point to the incredible quarterback play by Matt Stafford despite missing Puka Nukua and his growing connection with Davante Adams (59:15). 

They wrap up the NFL with the Dolphins benching Tua Tagoviola in a loss to the Browns and Colin argues the Dolphins should blow it all up… coach, quarterback and roster (1:11:00). 

They move to college football and point to Notre Dame being one of the best teams despite their two losses, and John argues that Carson Beck will hold Miami back from winning a natty (1:15:00).

Finally, they recap Shohei Ohtani’s historically great performance in the Dodgers close out win over the Brewers and Colin declares him the “greatest athlete ever” (1:23:00).

Colin is joined by Cowboys insider and Fox Sports columnist Matt Mosley.

They start with the surprisingly hot start for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense and debate what the secret sauce has been for America’s team (3:00). Colin doubles down on his take that trading Micah Parsons was the right long-term move for the Cowboys but Mosley pushes back that the defense is now a disaster minus Micah (6:45).

They discuss how the Dallas media treats Jerry Jones now that Mark Cuban sold the Mavericks and is the centerpiece of Dallas sports (11:00),  and why Dak has been consistently over-villainized and underrated throughout his career (14:00).

They pivot to college football and Colin argues that Arch Manning taking the heat at Texas has taken the heat off Steve Sarkisian, and Mosley explains why Manning has been subjected to unfair expectations (26:15). Colin also talks about the incredible humility he’s experienced interacting with the Manning family (29:30).

They pivot back to the Parsons trade, and how it played out with the benefit of hindsight and whether it seemed like Jerry bumbled the contract negotiations (33:45). They discuss the disastrous state of the Cowboys defense and Colin throws out the potential of the Cowboys hiring Bill Belichick (54:00).

Finally, they debate why Jason Garrett has remained out of coaching and Colin argues he’d be a great fit in college (1:00:00).

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Monday Night Football doubleheader and the Dodgers win over the Brewers.

He starts with the Bears beating the Commanders on a walk off field goal and argues the Bears came away with multiple positives, including a solid performance from Caleb Williams, a strong run game and an opportunistic defense that gave the Bears a W in a game they typically lose (3:00).

He moves to the Falcons dominating the Bills behind a huge performance by Bijan Robinson. He highlights some major issues for the Bills including a weak pass rush, being too dependent on Josh Allen, and an ascending Patriots team that’s now in first place in the AFC East (10:30). 

Finally, he breaks down the Dodgers 2-1 win over the Brewers in a game dominated by Blake Snell, despite Shohei Ohtani’s bat going cold in the postseason and a shaky bullpen (16:15).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 6 NFL action.

They start with the Bucs beating the 49ers despite both teams suffering from a rash of injuries and Colin argues that Baker Mayfield should be the leading candidate for MVP and John highlights that the 49ers gave $277 million in the offseason to three players who are hurt (2:30).

They pivot to the Broncos narrow win over the Jets and Colin’s takeaway…the Jets coaching is the worst he’s ever seen and the Broncos were LUCKY win with how poorly Bo Nix and their offense played (11:30).

They move to the Steelers win over the Browns and why the Steelers big-bodied wide receivers are the perfect compliment to Aaron Rodgers at this stage of his career, and why the Steelers are starting to feel like a real team that could wrap up the division by December (25:00). 

They react to the Chargers snapping their losing streak in a late win over the Dolphins despite being ravaged by injuries, and highlight the massive dysfunction in Miami and Justin Herbert’s heroics in carrying his team to victory (33:45). 

They laud Dak Prescott & George Pickens play despite the Cowboys loss to Carolina in the Rico Dowdle revenge game, and argue that Bryce Young can be a functional quarterback when he’s not playing a great defense (50:00). 

They highlight Seattle winning 9 straight road games after beating Jacksonville and the high level play from Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba through the first six games (59:30). They argue that Drake Maye is a hit at quarterback for the 4-2 Patriots (1:06:45).

They react to James Franklin being fired as head coach of Penn State after disastrous losses to UCLA &  Northwestern and wonder if Penn State runs the risk of being forced into hiring an interim coach if the team rallies (1:16:00).

Finally, they recap USC’s dominant win over Michigan and why it helped to dispel the notion the Lincoln Riley’s teams are “soft” (1:27:00).

They start with the epic shootout between Baker Mayfield & the Bucs beating Sam Darnold and the Seahawks. They laud both quarterbacks and give props to both Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Emeka Egbuka and Colin argues the Seahawks have found their quarterback for the future in Darnold (3:15). 

They move to the Broncos come from behind win over the Eagles in a tale of two halves. Colin argues the Eagles aren’t capable of playing a full game of competent offense and it was obvious the Eagles and Jalen Hurts tensed up in the second half (16:00).

First, Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the week 4 NFL Sunday slate.

They laud Jaxson Dart’s win over the Chargers in his NFL debut (13:30) and worry that injuries could derail a strong start to the season for the Chargers (17:00).

Finally, they discuss the huge lift for Kalen DeBoer following in Nick Saban’s footsteps, and why Alabama’s win over Georgia was one of their biggest of the past decade (47:00).

They move to the Giants beating the Chargers and highlight Jaxson Dart’s solid debut and Cam Skattebo bringing juice to the Giants run game (13:45). They discuss the worrying rash of injuries to the Chargers and debate whether Herbert and the run game can hold up after losing several starters (17:30). 

They pivot to the Bears beating the Raiders in an ugly game after another brutal performance from Geno Smith and despite Ashton Jeanty finally breaking out and a game between two six win teams (26:00). Colin argues that the Eagles feel a bit like Kansas City where there’s something not quite right, yet they still managed to win ugly over the Bucs (33:00). 

They recap the Rams beating the Colts and Colin argues the Colts are for REAL despite the loss and predicts they’ll win the AFC South (37:30). Colin calls the Steelers win over the Vikings their best in years, and their physicality was on full display today (52:45). They question the Vikings decision to let Sam Darnold walk in exchange for unproven rookie J.J. McCarthy as it’s clear the team is just a quarterback away (58:45). 

They move to the Jags win over the 49ers in a game they tried to give the game away but Brock Purdy was even worse and the Niners struggled with both running the ball and injuries (1:03:30).

They pivot to college football and discuss Oregon vs. Penn State and Colin argues Dante Moore is the best quarterback in the country and that Drew Allar looked like the worst of the 4 QBs playing in the marquee games (PSU vs ORE & AL vs GA) (1:11:00). Colin recaps his experience at USC vs Illinois and explains why Illinois was clearly the better team (1:23:00). 

Finally, they react to a crazy final round at the Ryder Cup and argue that the European team just has a better sense of cohesion, comradery and mental toughness than the American team (1:31:00).

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1.

They start with Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air before being reinstated and agree that Disney CEO Bob Iger made the right call (3:00), and that Kimmel’s popularity and likeability amongst California’s creative class added additional pressure on Iger (9:30). They also discuss the level of responsibility people with large platforms have to speak out on major political and news issues (14:00), and balancing talking about issues they find interesting versus what their audience wants to hear (25:30).

Colin Cowherd gives his instant reaction to the Lions on Monday Night Football. 

He argues that he hasn’t seen a team dominate the Ravens physically like the Lions (4:00), and explains why he’s so impressed by Dan Campbell’s ability to build a winning culture in Detroit (7:30). 

He highlights Jared Goff’s incredible 11-1 record in primetime games and a massive performance by the Lions D that sacked Lamar Jackson seven times (9:00), and argues that the top NFC teams have built better overall rosters than the QB-centric AFC (12:30).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 2 NFL action.

They start with the Eagles holding off the Chiefs 20-17 and Colin explains why the Eagles are one of the best teams he’s ever seen when it comes to getting a much needed yard and closing tight games, but it’s not time to hit the panic button for the Chiefs (3:30).

They recap the Lions absolute trouncing of the Bears and highlight why Caleb Williams has shown he can’t play in a timing offense despite having elite weapons and wonder if the Bears could pull the plug on him (8:45). They discuss a thrilling OT game between the Cowboys and Giants in which we got glimpses of the old Russell Wilson and argue that Dallas has been surprisingly better than predicted (26:30). 

They highlight the Steelers offense as a more polished version of the Jets offense from last year and wonder if Aaron Rodgers will survive the full season behind a bad offensive line (38:15). They point to a huge statline from Mac Jones filling in for Brock Purdy and debate whether the 49ers could exceed expectations this season (50:15).

They give their takeaways from the Patriots win over the Dolphins, including Drake Maye needing another year and the Dolphins defense being arguably the worst in the league (56:15). They move to the Colts escaping the Broncos with a win, the resurrection of Daniel Jones and argue the Colts will be better than advertised (1:00:15). Despite the loss, Colin still believes Denver makes the playoffs and could win the division (1:04:00).

They recap the Rams win over the Titans and a huge game for Davante Adams and debate whether the Rams should be considered among the league's best teams (1:07:30).

Finally, they discuss Justin Fields leaving yet another game with an injury and why his athleticism and size won’t save him from his inability to read a defense and contrast that to Joe Burrow getting hurt behind a bad offensive line (1:14:00).

Colin reacts to the Vikings 27-24 comeback win over the Bears on Monday Night Football.

He begins with J.J. McCarthy’s rough start and strong finish and compares his highly emotional style to Baker Mayfield (5:00). He highlights Caleb Williams' strong start when the offense was scripted but devolved into inconsistency and sailed passes late (9:30). 

He argues that the Vikings are the better franchise with better personnel and coaching and look like the Chiefs pre-Mahomes and can become dominant if they get the quarterback right (14:45).

They start with the Packers drubbing the Lions, and highlight the lack of creativity of the Lions offense after losing OC Ben Johnson (3:00), and the immediate impact of Micah Parsons on the Packers defense (6:00). They laud Brock Purdy’s performance in the 49ers win over the Seahawks on the road but have serious questions about the 49ers ability to stay healthy (14:00).

They declare the Dolphins season as DONE after being blown out by the Colts (35:00) and argue the Colts could challenge for the AFC South title (38:00).

They discuss an ugly opening game for Bo Nix in a Broncos win that was powered by their league best pass rush and defense (55:45).

Colin argues that the Giants need to start Jaxson Dart after Russell Wilson couldn’t sustain drives against the Commanders and worries Brian Daboll could lose the locker room if he doesn’t make a change  (1:03:00). 

Finally, they look ahead to the Bears/Vikings Monday Night Football game and debate whether Caleb Williams could end up being a bust due to his personality and the “noise” that surrounds him (1:12:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff,, host of “3 and Out”!

They begin by recapping Colin’s vacation to Europe and they discuss some of their favorite overseas trips (3:30)!

They pivot to Aaron Rodgers becoming “weird” late in his career (11:00) and that leading teams to pass on him, compare his relatively short “prime” to some other all-time great quarterbacks (14:30) and debate whether Matthew Stafford could surpass Rodgers on the list of all-time QBs if he plays 2-3 more good years of football (18:45)

They address the concerns coming out of Minnesota about quarterback JJ McCarthy and whether the Vikings could be in trouble at quarterback this season (28:00). They explain why they won’t be surprised if Daniel Jones beats out Anthony Richardson for the Colts starting job (32:00) and lay out their expectations for Sam Darnold in Seattle (35:00)

Colin predicts Shedeur Sanders will be starting for the Browns by week 8 (38:00) and they discuss why “rich” doesn’t fix everything in the NFL(43:00). Colin explains why Bill Belichick’s very young girlfriend isn’t something that bothers him (45:00).

Finally, they discuss what they like and dislike about the LIV golf tour (55:00), debate where Phil Mickelson ranks on the all-time list of golfers (59:15) and explain why Bryson DeChambeau has made one of the great pivots from “unlikeable” to “likeable” in sports! (1:04:00)

Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First”!

They begin by discussing that hyperathletic stars rarely win titles and why that bodes better for SGA than Ant in the playoffs (4:00). Colin explains that NIL has fortified college hoops and infused the sport with overseas talent, and argues that OKC should use rather than trade their treasure trove of draft picks (11:00)… but Nick offers a word of caution about OKC becoming a dynasty (14:45). 

They try to identify how many NBA players are more famous than Caitlin Clark, and it’s a short list…and Nick argues that die hard WNBA fans are confusing the popularity discussion with “best player” discussion… and Clark’s skill hasn’t lapped her popularity (24:00). Sticking with the fame discussion, they pivot to Baker Mayfield being far less popular and famous relative to the level of football he’s been playing (32:00).

They discuss several “enigma” quarterbacks, where they can’t decide whether they’re great or not…including Jordan Love, CJ Stroud and Justin Herbert (35:00). They highlight several “what-if” moments in NFL history and wonder if Herbert will be able to shake off his terrible playoff performances in the future (46:00). 

They dive into how best to parse individual success in team sports, and debate whether USC removing the Notre Dame game from their schedule is worth breaking their longstanding rivalry and tradition (58:30). 

Finally, they debate whether the Chiefs have replaced the Cowboys to become “America’s Team” (1:18:00), and Nick explains his experience “parachuting” into the world of professional poker (1:30:00).

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoff action!

They start with the Knicks overcoming a huge Pacers lead and give kudos to Karl-Anthony Towns for putting on an all-timer of a fourth quarter (3:30). They highlight the Pacers offense being “shook” after the Knicks late run and unable to recover (9:00) They both agree the series SHOULD be 2-1 and discuss the trend of teams winning consistently on the road this postseason (14:00).

They pivot to the Wolves destroying the Thunder in game 3, and debate whether it was a fluke or something for OKC to worry about (24:00). They point to the Thunder’s unique style of play and swarming defense as part of what makes them so tough to beat, but explain why they are a vulnerable team when playing on the road (28:00).

Colin compares the Pacers to the Nuggets championship team and questions whether they can have sustained success, and Jason argues the Thunder could potentially win multiple titles but the window is short (33:30). 

Finally, they discuss the insane stat that Caitlin Clark is responsible for over a quarter of the WNBA’s revenue and more than tripled the value of the Indiana Fever and whether Clark is a “billion dollar athlete” (46:00). They weigh in on the Steph Curry comparisons, predict she’ll be the best player in the league in a year or two and explain how the WNBA make the most out of marketing their biggest star (52:00).

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “Breakfast Ball” on FS1!

They start with Colin sharing commuter stories from their time in Chicago and why they love commuting via train and plane and Colin explains why a business class seat to Europe is his “happy place” (3:30).

They pivot to the NBA and why the Thunder and T-Wolves series will struggle to pull ratings in a league with incredible parity, but Danny counters that long term it will be good for the league and pleads for an earlier tip-off (10:30). They highlight Anthony Edwards lack of shots taken in Game 1, contrasting his lack of assertiveness with past stars like Michael Jordan and the lack of urgency shown by modern players (15:30).

They discuss why NIL money is funneling worldwide basketball talent back into American college basketball and why OKC would be best served using their stockpiled capital in the draft rather than trade it for an established player (26:15). 

Colin proposes that Jalen Brunson has a chance to be the most popular Knicks player of all time but Danny argues that Clyde Frazier will retain that title and that Brunson is a “smidge” overrated (33:00). 

They discuss the gender disparity embedded in the discourse about the Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reece rivalry, and why if there’s a bit of “hate” in a sports rivalry… it’s a GOOD thing (40:30).

They express their surprise that the NFL didn’t ban the “tush push” since it’s both bad television and will get players hurt (57:00).

Finally, they debate how long it will take for the influence of Ben Johnson’s coaching to show up on the field for Caleb Williams and whether it spells trouble if he struggles early in the season (1:06:15).

Colin’s top takes of the week!

First, Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL schedule!

They start with a ridiculously easy schedule for the 49ers (3:30) and debate whether that gives Brock Purdy leverage in contract negotiations and whether Kyle Shannahan has been too involved with drafting (6:45). 

They highlight the Chiefs schedule as being particularly brutal due to their weak offensive line and the elite pass rushes they’ll face  (10:30) and the pressure NFC North teams will face (15:30). 

Then, Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the NBA draft lottery

They start with the Mavericks landing the #1 overall pick despite long odds and the ability to draft Duke star Cooper Flagg, why the basketball gods just gave the Mavs possibly the greatest gift EVER and why the draft order couldn’t have gone better for the NBA (27:00).

They look at the Spurs, Thunder and Rockets as potential landing spots for Giannis and point to the results of the draft making the west even stronger compared to the east (33:00). Finally, they point to NIL giving top prospects the ability to take the better marketing of playing for blue chip college programs, and why recognizable domestic talents will help the NBA (37:30).

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the Knicks beating the Celtics in Game 5 to go up 3-1 and the NBA draft lottery.

They start with a thrilling game 5 between the Knicks and Celtics and highlight a dominant performance by Jalen Brunson compared to a Celtics team that was completely out of rhythm outside of Jayson Tatum (4:00).  Colin points to Brunson landing with the Knicks as the key to him breaking out as a superstar (7:00).  Jason argues Brunson may be the best small guard in the league, and Colin puts him in a class with the best Knicks ever (9:15).

They discuss the Celtics poor ball movement and shot selection as what led to them losing, but give huge props to Jayson Tatum for his incredible performance prior to going down with an injury (16:00). They break down the ripple effects of Tatum’s injury on the Celtics future and whether they might be forced to blow up an aging roster if Tatum is out for a year (19:15).

Colin argues that the Knicks may be primed to be the dominant team in the East with the Celtics facing an uncertain future but Jason argues the Cavs and Pacers would like a word (22:00). 

They pivot to the NBA draft lottery and the Mavericks landing the #1 overall pick despite long odds and the ability to draft Duke star Cooper Flagg, why the basketball gods just gave the Mavs possibly the greatest gift EVER and why the draft order couldn’t have gone better for the NBA (35:00).

They look at the Spurs, Thunder and Rockets as potential landing spots for Giannis and point to the results of the draft making the west even stronger compared to the east (41:00). Finally, they point to NIL giving top prospects the ability to take the better marketing of playing for blue chip college programs, and why recognizable domestic talents will help the NBA (45:00).

Colin’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They start with the first American ever being named Pope and Colin asks Nick for his “Pope power rankings” (4:00), why it’s incredibly exciting to have an American pope (7:15), and why even agnostic people can lean on faith in a higher power during difficult times (9:00). Colin calls out Nick for looking like the Shroud of Turin, and they highlight their doppelgangers (15:30).

They pivot to the NBA and Colin’s right/wrong takes on Jayson Tatum and the Celtics (28:00), why it would be really great for the league if the Knicks won the series (34:00), and why the underdogs have been winning (36:00). Nick provides a lengthy professional poker analogy to explain what’s happening to the Celtics and their 3 point shooting (38:00) and Colin compares them to the Miami Dolphins (45:00).

They discuss why Draymond Green is given more leeway on technical fouls and physical play than any player ever, but also highlight his incredible value as a defender (54:00). They compare Draymond’s self awareness about the type of player he is to Shedeur Sanders lack of it. They argue Shedeur was never given an honest evaluation and point to the transactional nature of sports journalism as part of the reason for it (1:10:00).

Finally, they pour cold water on the idea of the Dallas Cowboys being the team to make it “work” with George Pickens (1:21:00).

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoffs action!

They begin with why the Warriors age and experience was able to win out in a tough game 7 over the Rockets youth and inexperience (3:45), and how Steph Curry was able to find a way to make an impact despite shooting poorly in the first half (8:15).

They preview the upcoming Wolves vs. Warriors series (16:00), and dissect a near perfect performance from the Pacers to upset the Cavs in Game 1 (26:45). They debate whether the Nuggets were more impressive, or the Clippers are more disappointing (32:15), and credit Russell Westbrook for his self-awareness and being a “force of nature” on the court (37:30).

Finally, Colin credits Steve Kerr for coaching the Warriors to victory (47:00), and they discuss the coaching struggles of J.J. Reddick in his rookie season as the head coach of Luka, LeBron and the Lakers (52:00), and what roster adjustments they need to make in the offseason (57:30).

Then, joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to recap the full NFL Draft!

They dissect the saga of Shedeur Sanders, why he turned off so many teams, and why the Browns selecting him feel like an “ownership pick” (21:00). 

They discuss why it was a “starter draft” not a “star” draft (46:00), why the Jaguars were completely fleeced for Travis Hunter (48:30), and why intelligence is the most important trait in a prospect (55:00) 

Finally, they point to the Seahawks as the winners of the draft (1:00:00), debate whether the Rams had eyes on QB Jaxson Dart (1:04:00), and break down why Texas QB Quinn Ewers went from a 1st round prospect to 7th round selection (1:11:15).

Colin reacts to Shedeur Sanders' fall in the NFL draft and the Cleveland Browns finally drafting him in the 5th round.

He explains why Shedeur isn’t a good enough prospect to overcome the circus surrounding him, why his father Deion’s hubris hurt his draft stock, and why NFL teams don’t want a “celebrity quarterback” as their backup. 

Timeline

4:00 Deion’s hubris didn’t help Shedeur’s draft stock

6:00 Shedeur wasn’t a good enough prospect to be making demands of NFL teams

7:45 “Quarterback Dad” is becoming “Pageant Mom” and hurts the kid

9:00 Multiple teams reported that Shedeur was bad in meetings and not engaged

10:30 Maturity and focus matter more for quarterbacks

13:45 Cleveland’s quarterback room is a mess

15:15 Shedeur is a good, not great prospect

17:00 Teams don’t want a “celebrity QB” as their backup

Colin’s top takes from the NFL Draft!

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft!

They start with the Jaguars giving up WAY too much to draft Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and believe unless he is a two-way pro bowler… the move isn’t worth it (2:30). They debate whether Cleveland reached for DT Mason Graham at #5 and believe there’s a real chance the Jags pick they received could be a top 6 pick (6:30).

They react to the Raiders selecting RB Ashton Jeanty at #6 and point out that Geno Smith has played very well with a solid run game and play action, but John adds the caveat that Jeanty played against subpar competition in college (9:30).

They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10 (12:15).

They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense (23:00).

The project that the Titans and Raiders will be the two teams that gain the most offensive juice (27:35), and Colin argues that the pick of Omarion Hampton makes the Chargers a “Jim Harbaugh football team” (30:00).

Finally they react with pure SHOCK that the Falcons traded a future 1st to draft James Pierce Jr. (35:30)

They react to the Raiders selecting RB Ashton Jeanty at #6 and point out that Geno Smith has played very well with a solid run game and play action, but John adds the caveat that Jeanty played against subpar competition in college.

They laud the Jets for passing on skill players to invest in their offensive line, and worry the Panthers selection of T-Mac at wide receiver is risky since he struggled with separation in college. They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10.

They agree that the Cowboys were smart to bolster the offensive line by drafting Tyler Booker after Zach Martin retired, and express concern with the Dolphins pick of Kenneth Grant.

Colin gives kudos to Colts GM Chris Ballard for staying patient and drafting Tyler Warren at #14, believes Warren could be one of the steals of the draft. They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense.

They react to the surprise pick of the Broncos passing on offensive skill players to draft Texas CB Jahdae Barron and John explains why teams have put a premium on slot corners.

They discuss Shedeur Sanders making it past the Steelers at #21 and they predict he could fall out of the first round entirely and Colin argues the last 10 picks of the round are more interesting than the first ten.

The project that the Titans and Raiders will be the two teams that gain the most offensive juice, and Colin argues that the pick of Omarion Hampton makes the Chargers a “Jim Harbaugh football team”

They talk about the massive crowd in attendance for the draft in Green Bay, why it’s one of the best sports cities in America despite its small size, and why the Packers drafting WR Matthew Golden is in response to injuries to Christian Watson. Colin argues the Commanders draft position puts them with a group of teams with far better rosters.

They debate whether the Giants trading up to #25 to grab QB Jaxson Dart was a huge reach, and were SHOCKED the Falcons traded a future 1st to draft James Pierce Jr. They discuss the resurgence in the value of safeties after the Ravens draft S Malaki Starks from Georgia

They point to the later teams selecting for need, including the Lions selecting a defensive tackle as a product of the slew of injuries they suffered on defense in 2024, and the Commanders beefing up their offensive line to protect Jayden Daniels.

Colin expresses his surprise that Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round in a quarterback needy league, and they look at potential landing spots for the Colorado star and marvel at the number of picks made from schools in the SEC and Big Ten.

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoff action.

They start with the Warriors stealing game one on the road from the Rockets, and why their playoff experience was able to negate the Rockets athletic advantage (4:00). They break down why this was one of Steph Curry’s most impressive playoff performances (8:30), why Steve Kerr is incredible at finding the right “winning” players to surround their stars (11:30) and why Jimmy Butler is the perfect “get a bucket” guy they needed (13:30).

They pivot to the Lakers laying an egg in game 1 against the Timberwolves and Colin criticizes LeBron, Luka and co for their lack of intensity and energy (25:30). They give kudos to the Wolves for throwing a great opening round punch, and contrast Ant Edwards improvement to Ja Morant’s regression (31:00).

They move on to the Nuggets and why Denver’s reliance on Jokic to run the entire offense hamstrings his ability to be effective on defense, and Jason emphasizes why the Nuggets don’t have a choice to do it any other way (34:15). They point out the issues with the Clippers disjointed playmaking (36:15) and give credit to Russell Westbrook for the energy he brings to the floor(38:45)

Colin highlights all the seasoned veterans on both squads and why it’s going to make for an incredible, physical series (48:00)!

Finally, they predict a couple series sweeps (56:00), Colin offers some optimism about the Orlando Magic, and looks at a Houston/Kevin Durant pairing as a potential match made in heaven (1:00:30).

Colin gives his instant reaction to Nuggets vs Clippers and Lakers vs Timberwolves!

He starts with the Wolves physically bullying the Lakers and the Lakers being unable to adjust, but expects the Lakers to bounce back and play aggressively going forward in the series. He explains why the Wolves transition game overwhelmed the Lakers and why Anthony Edwards deserves a ton of credit for improving his game.

Then he pivots to Nuggets/Clippers and weighs in on why playoff basketball is officiated differently and far more physical than the regular season. He details why this game was a perfect example of the full “Russell Westbrook” experience filled with ups and downs… but why Russ was a big reason the Nuggets were able to get the win.

He explains why the Nuggets ability to get second chances and offensive rebounds was key to the Nuggets win, and why Kawhi Leonard is an incredible player…but not a leader, and why Westbrook was the story of the game.

3:00 Wolves bullied the Lakers physically

6:00 Knicks were able to find intensity to come back, but the Lakers couldn’t 

8:30 Wolves killed the Lakers in transition

9:15 Julius Randle has a ceiling but plays with great energy

10:30 Ant Edwards deserves a ton of credit

19:30 Playoff basketball is officiated differently, they swallow the whistle

23:00 Westbrook was key for the Nuggets

27:00Jokic is 2nd best center Colin has ever seen

29:00 Kawhi Leonard is fantastic player, but not a leader

31:30 Westbrook was the difference maker

They react to Rory McIlroy finally breaking the curse and winning The Masters to complete his career grand slam (2:30). They also discuss a very up and down round from Bryson DeChambeau (10:00) and the rivalry and bitterness between the PGA tour golfers and LIV tour golfers (17:00)

Then, Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the play-in games and preview the NBA playoffs!

They start with the Warriors surviving the Grizzlies in the play-in game, why their lack of size and supporting cast could prove to be their Achilles heel in the postseason, and why the Rockets could prove to be a tough matchup for Golden State (34:00).

They pivot to Lakers vs. Timberwolves, why facing the Lakers is the worst case scenario for the Wolves, and why the trio of Luka, LeBron and Reeves will overwhelm Minnesota (45:00). 

Finally, they debate whether Jokic is the greatest big to ever play the game (50:00).
