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

They start with Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah being fired and point to animosity behind the scenes in Minnesota with the coaches and some bad draft choices…especially JJ McCarthy as the reasons why (3:30). Colin argues that while the organization has supported McCarthy publicly, behind the scenes there’s a serious lack of confidence in him (9:30) and Kwesi took too much time away during training camp in a business where grinding is paramount (14:00).

They discuss which of the new coaching hires will be viewed as a success in 5 years: Colin points to Raiders new head coach Klint Kubiak as a hit and John agrees and argues that if needed, the Raiders could trade Maxx Crosby for a haul that could help reset the franchise (22:30).

Colin tries to identify other quarterbacks that were labeled “busts”, then end up ascending to a convincing top 7-8 quarterback in the league and they debate where to rank Darnold in the QB hierarchy if he wins a Super Bowl (28:30). Colin argues that football has changed, and that having a quarterback with “horsepower” is worth putting up with more mistakes and interceptions (35:00).

Finally, John points out the $10 billion dollar sale price of the Lakers and they discuss why the floated 6-8 billion dollar estimated price for the Seahawks seems way too low for a team in the Super Bowl and set up for long term success (45:00).

Super Bowl Week Preview: Darnold From Bust To Top Ten QB, Seahawks Valuation Too Low, Vikings Fire GM, Kubiak Will Succeed 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/6e4cc331-de43-43ed-9ddb-b3e600065792/transcript

Colin’s top takes of the week.

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

They start with Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame on the first ballot and Colin recaps all the cheating scandals the Patriots were involved in, and that the people claiming his first year exclusion is outrageous… are suffering from collective amnesia (3:00). 

They preview the Super Bowl & Colin predicts the young Seahawks roster could play tight under the bright lights and that the Pats experience might lead to him picking them to win, but Danny argues the Pats are a bit lucky to be there & not as dominant as Seattle (12:15). They debate where to rank Sam Darnold in the quarterback hierarchy if he wins the Super Bowl, and why Darnold’s redemption arc should provide hope for other young quarterbacks who landed in bad situations as rookies (19:30). 

Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”.

They break down the Patriots win in a blizzard over the Broncos (29:45) and Colin argues that the Broncos would have won with Bo Nix. 

Finally, they break down the NFL coaching carousel & Mike McCarthy’s hire by the Steelers (41:15).

Prime Cuts - Super Bowl Preview, Belichick Hall of Fame Snub? Broncos Win With Bo Nix, NFL Coaching Carousel 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/8f7257a4-d432-4494-84a2-b3e20140c49c/transcript

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

They start with Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame on the first ballot and Colin recaps all the cheating scandals the Patriots were involved in, and that the people claiming his first year exclusion is outrageous… are suffering from collective amnesia (3:00). They debate whether his exclusion is outrageous as the national chatter would have you believe, how much credit Robert Kraft deserves for the Pats success (12:00), and why Tom Brady is probably still underrated despite his accolades (19:15).

They discuss Mike McCarthy being hired by the Steelers and Colin argues that while the move wasn’t inspiring, it was safe… and that’s ok (31:00). Danny believes the time is now for Pittsburgh to clean house and try to secure a blue chip quarterback prospect, and Colin offers his theory as to why the Steelers refuse to bottom out (37:15). 

They discuss the Lakers win over the Bulls in a game where LeBron James at 41 years old was still the best player on the floor in the first half & why it will be hard for him to hang it up (42:45). 

They preview the Super Bowl & Colin predicts the young Seahawks roster could play tight under the bright lights and that the Pats experience might lead to him picking them to win, but Danny argues the Pats are a bit lucky to be there & not as dominant as Seattle (51:30). They debate where to rank Sam Darnold in the quarterback hierarchy if he wins the Super Bowl, and why Darnold’s redemption arc should provide hope for other young quarterbacks who landed in bad situations as rookies (58:00). 

Finally, Colin recaps the experience of his first winter in Chicago and why living in a cold city leads to more passionate sports fanbases (1:04:30).
