Colin’s top takes of the week!

Colin starts with a rant about why the NBA playoffs have been so great this year, and it has to do with the officiating (3:00)

He’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down some of the biggest storylines of the NFL draft, including the Falcons shocking the world by taking Michael Penix Jr. at #8 (7:45), a historically great prospect that fell out of the top 10 (12:30) and the Broncos taking Bo Nix at #12 (13:30)

The guys are joined by Danny Parkins, host at 670 The Score in Chicago to talk about the Bears drafting Caleb Williams #1 overall and adding star WR Rome Odunze to his arsenal at #9 and what these two picks could do to transform the Bears franchise (20:00)

Insane Sports Gambling Stories on Mike Tyson, Mickelson, Ohtani, Mayweather, The Mob

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/79d2f01b-6d5a-404e-8627-b3f4017e3585/transcript

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

They begin with tanking in the NBA and Colin argues that he’s pro-tanking because it’s the only way to turn your franchise around since it’s so difficult to trade star players in the NBA (2:30). They agree that NBA players have gotten so good at shooting 3’s, it’s led to a less visually appealing product for the fans that makes the regular season tough to watch (10:45) and they debate potential fixes (23:30). 

They pivot to LeBron and debate when he should hang it up, with Colin arguing that Michael Jordan’s years with the Wizards didn’t dent his legacy at all and Danny believing LeBron will return to Cleveland to finish his career where it started (31:00). 

They discuss the recently proposed 24 team college football playoff and Colin believes it wouldn’t diminish the regular season or rivalries, and due to NIL college football now looks more like its professional counterpart than any other collegiate sport (37:00).

Finally, they discuss Scottie Scheffler’s historic run in recent years, and why the huge sums of money involved in golf leads to a bit of apathy from some of the top golfers (51:00).

Why Colin Is PRO Tanking, When Should LeBron Retire?  24 Team CFP? NBA Needs To Make Changes

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/8c69c655-7b67-4a26-9eef-b3f30010ac0d/transcript

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to react to the Seahawks dominating win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

They start with Seattle’s dominating defense pressuring Drake Maye all night and the Patriots offensive line being overwhelmed (2:45) . Colin highlights the arc of Sam Darnold’s career and that with the right coaching he was an effective game manager that didn’t make a big mistake in the biggest moment (5:15). 

They point to New England’s defense getting tired in the second half due to their offense being unable to stay on the field and the dam finally breaking… but Colin argues that New England is still in a “rebuild” stage despite being in the Super BowL (9:30).

They evaluate a Seahawks roster that doesn’t have an apparent “need” and debate what pieces they should look to add to their Super Bowl winning roster (14:15), and Colin argues there haven’t been many better stories in NFL history than Sam Darnold (23:15). Colin says Drake Maye has nothing to hang his head about and lost to one of the best teams in the last decade… but that Drake wasn’t ready for this moment (31:30).

They look ahead to the 2026 season and predict which teams will be back in postseason contention & who won’t, and they agree the Seahawks GM John Schneider has locked up his case for the Hall of Fame (37:45). 

Finally, Colin believes the ups and downs of Sam Darnold’s career will lead him to continue taking team friendly deals in a favorable situation (53:00), and they agree the Seahawks sale price just went up by a billion dollars (1:00:30).
