Colin reacts to the news that LeBron James has chosen the Philadelphia 76ers as his landing spot for the 2026 NBA season. He argues that choosing a championship ready team makes sense for LeBron at this stage of his career and there’s nothing wrong with LeBron ring chasing. He compares the move to Tom Brady going to Tampa, rather than KD joining a title winning Warriors team.

Colin is joined by Matt Mosley, Cowboys insider and host of the Doomsday Podcast.

They start by revisiting the Micah Parsons trade, and discuss Micah’s role as a leader in the Cowboys locker room and why leadership didn’t come naturally to him (3:30). They break down how the Cowboys will use their prized rookie safety Caleb Downs and Matt explains why Downs could become one of their best defensive players  but shouldn’t be expected to be the savior for the defense (8:15). 

They discuss Brian Schottenheimer outperforming expectations in the 2025 season, and what his secret sauce is as head coach (12:00). They laud Dak Prescott for his leadership skills and his ability to rise above the pressure of playing quarterback for the Cowboys (16:15). 

Matt breaks down the relationship between Cowboys fans and owner Jerry Jones during their decades-long Super Bowl drought (27:30), and they discuss Tony Romo’s recent troubles in his personal life and with CBS, and Matt shares some fun personal anecdotes about his times hanging out with Tony (32:00).

Cowboys Preview: Defense Without Parsons, Dak’s Elite Leadership, Expectations For Caleb Downs?

Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

They start with Colin attending Bears practice and Caleb Williams looking incredibly fast after dropping 15 pounds and looking far more accurate with his throws and they look for him to make a big jump in his second year with Ben Johnson (3:30).

They pivot to the controversy surrounding Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham and the league becoming embroiled in the culture wars and both agree that the WNBA has outgrown the leadership of commissioner Cathy Engelbert (10:30). Colin argues that just because Caitlin Clark stays out of the political fray doesn’t mean that her and Cunningham can’t be great teammates or friends (17:15).

Colin explains why Sean McVay ruining the NFL preseason by starting the trend of sitting starters has made him more engaged with August baseball (26:30), Danny advocates for Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong winning the MVP award (28:30) and Colin highlights why the star-studded Dodgers have been struggling (27:45). They also discuss the potential looming lockout for MLB after the 2026 season and why Wrigley Field is one of the best in-person baseball experiences (37:00).

Colin explains why he’s done with the Mike Vrabel/Diana Russini story and has moved on, and they debate whether it will be a story moving forward (47:30). They also discuss whether Tony Romo’s DWI will be used as an excuse for CBS to move on from him as an analyst (50:30). 

Finally, they discuss how they each prepare for the NFL season as broadcasters (59:00).

Caleb Williams Looks GREAT At Practice, WNBA Needs New Leadership, Dodgers Summer Struggles

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk all things football.

They start with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan being in a serious car accident and the controversy surrounding why he wasn’t checked for a DUI (4:30), and then discuss the outlook for the 49ers 2026 season (11:00). 

They move to Shedeur Sanders heading into his second season and Colin argues that Deion is getting in the way of Shedeur’s success, but they both believe Shedeur will see significant playing time this year (15:00).

They head to the NFC East and preview the Cowboys and John believes Caleb Downs could transform the defense and picks them to win the division, and they react to Jerry Jones saying he’d be willing to make a splash trade midseason (25:00).  

They pivot to Bill Belichick’s “friends and family” staff at North Carolina and Colin argues he’s not even trying to hire the best of the best (36:45).

Finally, they debate the expectations for Indiana football after the departure of #1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza and whether head coach Curt Cignetti can keep the success rolling (49:00).
