Colin’s top takes of the week.

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

They start with Colin offering his new theory that explains the unprecedented drop off from Russell Wilson after seeing Tua on MNF. He argues that when smaller quarterbacks are afraid to get hit, they age overnight. They both agree that Tua’s career is likely over (03:00). 

They discuss the evolution of Justin Herbert, and why they think he could win a title and an MVP under Jim Harbaugh (10:30). They also express sympathy for Joe Burrow after he gave multiple despondent press conferences and they debate whether his discontent is purely with the Bengals or if there are other factors (17:00). They also try to decipher what the trade value for Burrow would be if he forces a trade (25:00).

Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the biggest headlines from the Sunday NFL slate.

They start with the Broncos win over the Packers and explain why it was the best game of Bo Nix’s career (34:00) and why the injury to Micah Parsons spells doom for the Packers Super Bowl aspirations (40:30).

They react to the Chiefs being eliminated from the postseason by the Chargers for the first time in the Mahomes era (42:15), break down why the Chiefs are likely headed for a 1-2 year rebuild (47:30) and learn in real time of the confirmation that Mahomes tore his ACL (49:00)

Finally, they discuss the Bills incredible comeback over the Pats and why Josh Allen might be the greatest quarterback talent in league history (58:00)

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

They start by discussing Barstool’s deal with Netflix and  the podcast space expanding from audio to video. They compare it to sports moving from radio to TV and explain why it isn’t “selling out”...it’s smart business (3:00). 

They move to the criticism of the NBA Cup and they both agree the blowback is unfounded and  that the in-season tournament is a hit since the players bought in (19:00).

Colin offers his new theory that explains the unprecedented drop off from Russell Wilson after seeing Tua on MNF. He argues that when smaller quarterbacks are afraid to get hit, they age overnight. They both agree that Tua’s career is likely over (29:45). 

They discuss the evolution of Justin Herbert, and why they think he could win a title and an MVP under Jim Harbaugh (37:15). They also express sympathy for Joe Burrow after he gave multiple despondent press conferences and they debate whether his discontent is purely with the Bengals or if there are other factors (43:45). They also try to decipher what the trade value for Burrow would be if he forces a trade (58:00).

Finally, Colin explains why Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is an easy player to scout due to Indiana running an NFL style offense (1:00:30), and they discuss some of their bad sports bets (1:06:00).

Barstool’s Netflix Deal, Joe Burrow’s Trade Value? Tua’s Career Over? NBA Cup Is Great

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/c8d959ae-03da-4c4f-a918-b3b700319428/transcript

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 14 NFL action.

They start with the Broncos winning a heavyweight fight with the Packers and agree it was the best game of Bo Nix’s career and that the Broncos stepped up big time in a “prove it” game (3:15). After key injuries to Christian Watson and Micah Parsons, they call it a “crippling game” for the Packers (9:45). 

They move to the Seahawks win over the Colts in the return of 44 year old Philip Rivers. Colin argues that older, immobile quarterbacks that know the offense like Rivers and Cousins can be effective and wasn’t surprised at the close result (11:30).

They recap the Chargers win over Kansas City that eliminated Mahomes from the postseason. They agree that Justin Herbert has been better than Mahomes all season and laud the coaching of Jim Harbaugh for finding ways to win (23:45). They also explain why the Chiefs are headed for a 1-2 year retool/rebuild in a division with two other elite teams (29:00). They also react to the update of Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL and discuss what that means for the future of the Chiefs franchise and why they need to be careful bringing Mahomes back too quickly (30:30). 

They move to the Bills comeback win over the Pats & argue that the Bills have to win in shootouts due to a lackluster defense and highlight an incredible second half by Josh Allen… who they agree is the best player in the NFL (35:00). 

They recap the Bears beatdown of the Browns and Colin explains why the Bears look and feel like a playoff team on both sides of the ball and argues Ben Johnson might be the best coaching hire since Sean McVay (43:00).

They move to the Rams playoff clinching win over the Lions and highlight the weakness of both teams’ secondaries, but point to a nearly unstoppable Rams offense that should carry them to a division title (56:30). Staying in the NFC West, they recap the 49ers win over the Titans and they explain why the Niners are a team that nobody will want to see in the postseason (1:02:15). 

Finally, they survey the standings and make their picks for teams that can win a playoff game versus teams that can win it all (1:06:30).
