He begins by doubling down on his take that Brock Purdy is a “good, not great” quarterback after throwing two crucial interceptions to sink the 49ers against the Lions, (4:00) and credits his huge stat line to Kyle Shanahan scheming guys open (7:45). He examines the NFC playoff picture and explains why the playoffs are WIDE open and warns that the Lions could be in real trouble if they can’t secure the #1 seed in their upcoming game against the Vikings (10:30).

He pivots to the NBA and the lack of criticism of the league by the media. He argues that the league DESERVES criticism, needs major changes and has been coddled by friendly media for too long (13:30). 

Then, Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the College Football Playoff and the top storylines from the NFL! 

They agree that the Vikings CAN’T move on from Sam Darnold under any circumstances (23:00), that Bills head coach Sean McDermott is under huge pressure and could be on the hot seat if they don’t reach the conference championship (29:30) and examine the rash of really BAD teams at the bottom of the NFL standings (35:00)

They pivot to the College Football Playoff with the Oregon Ducks being absolutely cooked by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl and why Ohio State looks to be in a class of their own compared to the rest of the field (45:30).  They laud the Arizona State coaching staff for taking a much more talented Texas team down to the wire, and attempt to dissect why Steve Sarkisian’s teams look “loose” (55:45).

Finally, they debate whether Penn State can win the national championship (1:04:00) and what to make of Ashton Jeanty and Drew Aller as NFL prospects (1:07:00).
