He also talks about his trip to WWE SummerSlam and his change of heart on wrestling fans. Then Tyler Dunne - founder of the Go Long newsletter - and Colin discuss why Zach Wilson's atypical style may work to his benefit (9:00), the Aaron Rodgers comment that still bothers Colin (12:00), why the Packers can't overcome the bad blood with their star QB (18:00), what Aaron Rodgers does to manipulate the media (22:00), why it's hard to live in Green Bay (30:00), what to make of the strange messages that Rodgers' camp has been sending out (36:00), and why Matt Nagy deserves blame for the Bears problems.

114. Jimmy G/Trey Lance Problems, Tyler Dunne on Bears Dysfunction and Rodgers' Bad Blood

USC is 2-0 and hasn't been tested, so Colin goes looking for what's real: NFL bodies on both lines, four freshmen starting, and a quarterback in Jayden Maiava who's played his way into first-round talk. His verdict is a top-ten team with a schedule that still decides everything. Along the way: why college football has no leadership and never will, what the WNBA's commissioner shakeup says about the same problem, why Darian Mensah is now the best quarterback in the country, and why Lane Kiffin's LSU noise is going to backfire. 

Timeline:

0:00  USC 39-0, and college football's leadership problem

3:17  The fix nobody will make: kill the non-conference season

6:41  Bowman, Mosley, Dixon-Wyatt and the freshman wave

10:26 Ten freshmen, no more redshirts, and Maiava's rise

13:38 The Big Ten gauntlet: good team or great one?

16:16 Darian Mensah is the best quarterback in the country

18:36 Lane Kiffin, LSU, and why noise breaks football teams

22:31 A top-eight job that doesn't need the shtick

USC & Miami Dominate, Darian Mensah #1 QB? LSU Has A Big Problem

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ea8b4112-41b3-401e-9495-b4bc01331e98/transcript

Everybody spent the weekend dunking on the empty seats at the Coliseum. Colin isn't buying the outrage — and his defense of USC isn't really a defense, it's a theory of American sports geography. Big cities belong to pro teams. Mid-sized cities belong to college. Small towns belong to Friday nights. LA has been paying that tax since the Rams and Chargers moved in, and USC already conceded the point when it shrank the building and added suites. It's not an excuse, it's a reason.

Then the part the attendance story buried: true freshman Trent Mosley looked like a first-team All-American in his first college game, and Lincoln Riley emptied the bench on purpose, because September is for getting a very young roster ready for Oregon, Washington, Penn State, Ohio State and Indiana. Colin also explains why he thinks USC, Ohio State and Texas all have schedules too brutal to survive, why Notre Dame and Miami is his national title call — twice — and why he'd take the Longhorns at home against the Buckeyes. Plus NFL Week 1: the Colts as a live home dog, why Jacksonville could bury Cleveland, whether Denver's 14-win magic regresses, and why Goodell's London talk is a stadium-leverage bat signal, not a real plan.

USC’s Empty Seats, NFL Week 1, Will Broncos Regress? Brutal Big Ten Schedules

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/35bdc5b4-8189-424c-8eda-b4b9011c8428/transcript

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on The Volume.

They start with the Browns & the stark contrast between Shedeur Sanders having an affable sideline interview and Deshaun Watson’s disaster of a press conference, and they agree that the Browns should start Shedeur (2:00). They also agree the Brown’s deal for Watson is the worst in league history (13:00).

They move to JJ McCarthy’s disastrous performance in the Vikings second preseason game and Colin believes that if McCarthy can’t succeed with Kevin O’Connell… he isn’t going to succeed (14:30). They also revisit past quarterback draft classes and Colin finds that only 10% of them are franchise guys… showing the NFL may have a development problem with quarterbacks (21:30).

They pivot to college football and the story of Dae’Quan Wright going from the Cleveland Browns back to LSU as proof that the NCAA is diminishing in power and keeps losing in court (30:00).

They poke holes in the NFL Top 100 and the Athletic’s Top 25 Players Under 25, and Colin marvels at the Seahawks being overlooked as a potential back-to-back champion (40:00). 

They react to Joe Burrow’s comment about being tired of talking about “next year” and Colin argues that the Burrow could be burning out while languishing in Cincinnati, and that he shouldn’t sign with them again… but John offers some defense of the Bengals (55:00).

Finally, Colin highlights all the amazing undrafted players who have popped in the preseason and marvels at the amount of football talent in America (1:04:00).
