Colin starts by previewing March Madness, why the SEC is clearly the conference to beat after a record 14 teams made the tournament, and makes his prediction for the winner of the big dance (2:30)!

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

They start with the SEC’s ascendence in basketball in the past decade, why the injection of huge money to the conference from football revenues have been a boon to their other sports programs and why the travel schedule for the former Pac-12 schools in the Big Ten is a huge disadvantage (7:00).

They pivot to the NFL and what to expect from a 49ers team that finally hit the reset button after making trades and cutting key players as a contract extension for Brock Purdy looms (14:30). 

They discuss why the Bears making several moves to address their offensive line shows that the franchise is getting a much needed change of culture under head coach Ben Johnson and are headed in the right direction (28:15). 

They break down some of free agent signings that puzzled them, why the Cooper Kupp contract made no sense and what to make of the Seahawks after swapping out Geno Smith for Sam Darnold (35:00). 

They review the options for Aaron Rodgers next team and Colin explains why the Steelers would be his LAST choice and John says Rodgers should be begging Kevin O’Connell for the opportunity to quarterback the Vikings (40:45). 

Finally, they discuss Jim Harbaugh’s strategy of overdrafting offensive lineman, why the Chiefs struggles on the O-line will cause them to take a step back in 2025, and Colin explains why he LOVES the Najee Harris signing by the Chargers (1:00:00).
