Colin Cowherd starts with the Los Angeles Lakers hot start under head coach JJ Redick, even with LeBron James on the sidelines. Colin explains why Redick’s coaching style could reshape the future of the Lakers franchise and what it means for the NBA’s most glamorous team.

Then, Colin turns to the NFL trade deadline, giving Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys credit for making smart, forward-looking moves — even after parting ways with Micah Parsons. Colin believes the Cowboys are now in a better position than they’ve seen in years.

Plus, Greg Cosell of NFL Films joins the show to break down the impressive development of quarterback Caleb Williams and how head coach Ben Johnson has transformed the Chicago Bears offense into one of the NFL’s most exciting units in the NFL.
