Colin starts with the Giants trading star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals. He predicts that the Giants are poised to make a huge jump under John Harbaugh and that Harbaugh is creating a new culture in New York. He also offers suggestions on how the Giants should use their two first round picks (2:30).

Then, Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the NBA playoffs.

They start with the Lakers and Lebron James winning game 1 over the Rockets despite missing Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves and Colin highlights the Lakers defense showing up in a way that was missing during the regular season (12:00). They also discuss the potential impact on the series if/when Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic return from injury (23:00).

They pivot to the Celtics dominating the 76ers and Colin praises the Celtics organization for being able to retool their roster in one season and remain highly competitive. They point to great scouting and player development as the reason Boston has stayed great (29:00).

They move to the red hot Nuggets beating the Wolves in game 1 and Colin argues the trio of Jokic, Murray and Gordon are good enough to power the Nuggets to a title (34:45). 

Colin argues the Knicks have a flawed roster and are not a championship team and believes the Knicks were at their best when owner James Dolan was busy building The Sphere and not meddling with the team, and Jason argues they have almost no chance against Boston (43:00).

Finally, they discuss the new Jerry West documentary and Colin gives it two thumbs up (48:15) and they discuss why the NBA playoffs moving to streaming services was the correct move by the NBA, and debate the concerns over tanking and whether there’s anything the league can do about it (52:30).

Giants DEAL Dexter Lawrence, Lakers Steal Game 1 Without Luka, Celtics A GREAT Organization, Nuggets Can Win It All

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/6117be0c-439a-4ccb-ae1d-b431017ac870/transcript

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low”.

They start with Rory McIlroy’s historic repeat, winning back to back at the Masters, and why his win last year took the pressure off and allowed him to play his best golf and now has a chance to become a Top 5 all-time golfer (2:30). They compare Rory’s up-and-down nature on the course to more steady golfers like Tiger & Scheffler, and why he makes for great, drama-filled television (7:00). 

They predict Rory will probably win 4-5 more majors in the next few years and debate where he stacks up against the all-time greats (10:00). Colin explains why he’s not typically a traditionalist but loves the tradition of the Masters, and that Augusta National stands out as special (14:30). 

They pivot to the Mike Vrabel/Diana Russini controversy, and Colin explains there’s a difference between moral & ethical standards and explains why only standards apply to Vrabel, but both standards apply to Russini as a journalist (24:30).                    

They look ahead to the NFL draft and discuss the biggest storylines surrounding the NFL draft and John argues the Chiefs picking high is a fascinating story & could potentially go in several different directions with their pick (35:15).

Rory REPEATS At The Masters, A Tradition Like No Other, Vrabel/Russini Controversy, NFL Draft Preview

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/407a5dbd-de6b-4acc-9a18-b42b0012814b/transcript

First,  Colin is joined by sportswriter & author Alan Shipnuck who just released his newest book “Rory”

They start with Rory McIlroy’s evolution and why he became a bit testier and wears his emotions on his sleeve more now that he’s later in his career. They discuss how to best categorize Rory’s career, and Alan explains why it’s been a play with three acts, and that Rory is still in his prime with his best golf likely still ahead of him (3:30).

They talk about how Rory’s personal life lands someone in the middle between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, and why Rory is more authentic than both of them and why Tiger & Phil would likely trade their career & life for Rory’s (10:30). 

Finally,  they discuss where Rory ranks amongst golf’s all-time greats (14:15). 

Then, Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”.

They break down the Lakers game against OKC where Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves got hurt was about as disastrous of a regular season game there has ever been in the month of April, and agree the criticism of JJ Reddick is overblown (22:30). 

Finally, they discuss the incredible OT game between the Spurs and Nuggets and the matchup between Nikola Jokic & Victor Wembanyama (30:00).
