Colin is joined by college football guru Josh Pate to talk all things College Football Playoff. They start with why the first round of the playoff isn’t as great as advertised and lends itself to massive mismatches and blowouts.

They preview Miami at Ohio State and Colin says he’d take Ohio State by a touchdown & Josh argues that Miami will have the advantage in the trenches and has more defensive talent than top SEC & Big Ten teams (14:45).  They move to Oregon vs Texas Tech and Josh argues that TT has more than a realistic shot at beating the Ducks, but that their lack of experience playing outside the Big 12 could hurt them (24:00).  They discuss the enigma that is Alabama football and handicap their chances against #1 Indiana (27:00), and preview Georgia’s bout with Ole Miss (31:15). Finally, they discuss the job  opening at Michigan and why in a stacked Big 10 they will have no margin for error when hiring their next head coach (37:45).

They debate whether the goal of parity is achievable and whether it’s good for sports (9:30).

Colin is joined by Dan Farah, the producer and director of the new documentary The Age of Disclosure They dive into the stunning revelations behind The Age of Disclosure, his new documentary on UAPs and the decades-long retrieval programs operating outside congressional oversight. Farah explains the moment he realized just how extraordinary the story was—the subjects’ accounts all lined up, people only felt safe speaking out together, and evidence pointed to an 80-year effort by the U.S., China, and Russia to locate and study advanced craft. He and Colin discuss why the public deserves transparency, the trillion-dollar scale of the program, and why credible officials—from military base contacts to former intelligence leaders like James Clapper—are now willing to put their reputations on the line. Farah walks through some of the most dramatic moments in the documentary: football-field-sized craft at nuclear bases, physical harm reported by people who got too close, and the “bubble” theory that explains how these objects warp spacetime and evade photography. The conversation explores underwater UAP activity, misguided attempts to engage the craft militarily, and the slow drip of official disclosures—including claims of recovered bodies and technology. Colin even shares his own childhood UFO sighting, as Farah argues that The Age of Disclosure is only the beginning of what the public is about to learn.

Colin gives his instant reaction to the 49ers beating the Panthers 20-9 on Monday Night Football.

On the Panthers side, Colin highlights the limitations of quarterback Bryce Young and believes the Panthers need to draft another QB.  Finally, he weighs in the AD at Ole Miss saying Lane Kiffin will “lose credibility” if he leaves, and Colin pushes back and argues that the only thing that gives you credibility in football is WINNING.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the football action. They start with the Ravens beating the Bears without Lamar Jackson and they praise the Ravens for their smart, safe gameplan and agree that the biggest problem for the Bears… is Caleb Williams… and they believe Ben Johnson could move on from the former #1 overall pick (3:30). They move to the Texans win over a beat-up 49ers team that couldn’t get pressure on CJ Stroud. Colin argues the medical staff may be the biggest issue for the 49ers who have had more players miss games than any other team in the league (14:15). They pivot to the Eagles drubbing of the Giants and debate whether the game proved the Eagles don’t need AJ Brown and should move him before the trade deadline (27:00).  They heap praise on Drake Maye for his play in the Pats win over the Browns and argue he’s ascended into a top 8 quarterback in the league. They believe the Pats could win 12 or 13 games and think a trade for AJ Brown could be in order (35:30). They move to the Denver Broncos drubbing the Dallas Cowboys and Colin argues that Sean Payton used the Cowboys leaky defense to unleash Bo Nix (48:00).

Colin’s top takes of the week. First, Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. They dive straight into the MASSIVE gambling & match fixing scheme that ended in the arrest of  Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and Damon Jones. They call it the “NBA’s Pete Rose” moment, and Danny argues Chauncey should be thrown out of the Hall of Fame if the allegations prove to be true (3:00). They discuss the world of underground gambling & the history of the intersection of the mafia, gambling and sports and Danny explains why the level of regulation in legal betting is what caused the players to be caught tanking their player props (11:00). They argue that these types of scandals will happen as long as the leagues are in bed with the sportsbook, but there’s no going back with the huge money involved, and it’s better to have props monitored and regulated rather than move underground. Danny argues that there’s a solid case to outlaw “under” player props (16:00).  They also recount Victor Wembanyama’s absolutely insane 40 point performance against the best frontline in the league and debate whether he’s already the best player in the league at 21 years old (26:00).

Danny argues that there’s a solid case to outlaw “under” player props (19:00).  Colin argues basketball is uniquely susceptible to corruption and match fixing due to its more individualistic nature, and why the team-centric, militaristic culture of the NFL would make it hard to pull off in football (28:00) . Danny argues that America is so addicted to sports that even if the Super Bowl was found to be rigged… people wouldn’t tune out.  They discuss why the leagues have too much money on the line to allow everything to be “rigged” like many fans believe, and Colin explains why conspiracies about refs being in on it are overblown (39:00). Colin revisits the lead story he had for The Herd that had to be shelved due to the gambling story breaking… Victor Wembanyama’s absolutely insane 40 point performance against the best frontline in the league and debate whether he’s already the best player in the league at 21 years old (59:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL week 7 Sunday slate.  They start with a wild finish in Denver where the Broncos beat the Giants on a walkoff field goal after trailing by 18 in the fourth quarter.  Colin argues that Sean Payton should let Bo Nix use his legs more, but that Giants fans should still feel pretty good about the direction of their team under Jaxson Dart (3:00). They move to the Packers win over the Cardinals and highlight Micah Parson’s role as a “closer” for Green Bay, with 3 game changing sacks but point to issues with the Packers offense.  They argue the Cardinals are a better team than their 2-5 record (13:15). They pivot to the Bears win over the Saints and Colin believes the Bears should lean more on the run game and a defense that’s playing much better rather than putting it all on Caleb Williams and despite their choppiness, they’re a well coached team under Ben Johnson (25:45). The move to the Chiefs beatdown of the Raiders and Colin declares the Chiefs once again… look like the best team in the league. They highlight the additions of Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy into the offense as opening things up and now they’re firing on all cylinders (34:00). They recap the Cowboys clobbering the Commanders and Colin argues the Cowboys may have the best offense in the league and George Pickens was the steal of the offseason. John believes Brian Schottenheimer should be the frontrunner for coach of the year (46:00). They move to the Eagles win over the Vikings and highlight a great performance from Jalen Hurts in the passing game and the struggles of the Vikings to get quality quarterback play (53:00).  They pivot to the Rams beatdown of the Jags in London and Colin’s takeaway is Sean McVay is the 2nd best coach in the league after Andy Reid. They point to the incredible quarterback play by Matt Stafford despite missing Puka Nukua and his growing connection with Davante Adams (59:15).  They wrap up the NFL with the Dolphins benching Tua Tagoviola in a loss to the Browns and Colin argues the Dolphins should blow it all up… coach, quarterback and roster (1:11:00).  They move to college football and point to Notre Dame being one of the best teams despite their two losses, and John argues that Carson Beck will hold Miami back from winning a natty (1:15:00). Finally, they recap Shohei Ohtani’s historically great performance in the Dodgers close out win over the Brewers and Colin declares him the “greatest athlete ever” (1:23:00).

Colin is joined by Cowboys insider and Fox Sports columnist Matt Mosley. They start with the surprisingly hot start for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense and debate what the secret sauce has been for America’s team (3:00). Colin doubles down on his take that trading Micah Parsons was the right long-term move for the Cowboys but Mosley pushes back that the defense is now a disaster minus Micah (6:45). They discuss how the Dallas media treats Jerry Jones now that Mark Cuban sold the Mavericks and is the centerpiece of Dallas sports (11:00),  and why Dak has been consistently over-villainized and underrated throughout his career (14:00). They pivot to college football and Colin argues that Arch Manning taking the heat at Texas has taken the heat off Steve Sarkisian, and Mosley explains why Manning has been subjected to unfair expectations (26:15). Colin also talks about the incredible humility he’s experienced interacting with the Manning family (29:30). They pivot back to the Parsons trade, and how it played out with the benefit of hindsight and whether it seemed like Jerry bumbled the contract negotiations (33:45). They discuss the disastrous state of the Cowboys defense and Colin throws out the potential of the Cowboys hiring Bill Belichick (54:00).

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Monday Night Football doubleheader and the Dodgers win over the Brewers.

He highlights some major issues for the Bills including a weak pass rush, being too dependent on Josh Allen, and an ascending Patriots team that’s now in first place in the AFC East (10:30).  Finally, he breaks down the Dodgers 2-1 win over the Brewers in a game dominated by Blake Snell, despite Shohei Ohtani’s bat going cold in the postseason and a shaky bullpen (16:15).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

They highlight Anthony Edwards lack of shots taken in Game 1, contrasting his lack of assertiveness with past stars like Michael Jordan and the lack of urgency shown by modern players (15:30).

They start with the Jaguars giving up WAY too much to draft Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and believe unless he is a two-way pro bowler… the move isn’t worth it (2:30).

They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10 (12:15). They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense (23:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft! They start with the Jaguars giving up WAY too much to draft Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and believe unless he is a two-way pro bowler… the move isn’t worth it. They debate whether Cleveland reached for DT Mason Graham at #5 and believe there’s a real chance the Jags pick they received could be a top 6 pick. They react to the Raiders selecting RB Ashton Jeanty at #6 and point out that Geno Smith has played very well with a solid run game and play action, but John adds the caveat that Jeanty played against subpar competition in college. They laud the Jets for passing on skill players to invest in their offensive line, and worry the Panthers selection of T-Mac at wide receiver is risky since he struggled with separation in college. They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10. They agree that the Cowboys were smart to bolster the offensive line by drafting Tyler Booker after Zach Martin retired, and express concern with the Dolphins pick of Kenneth Grant. Colin gives kudos to Colts GM Chris Ballard for staying patient and drafting Tyler Warren at #14, believes Warren could be one of the steals of the draft. They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense. They react to the surprise pick of the Broncos passing on offensive skill players to draft Texas CB Jahdae Barron and John explains why teams have put a premium on slot corners. They discuss Shedeur Sanders making it past the Steelers at #21 and they predict he could fall out of the first round entirely and Colin argues the last 10 picks of the round are more interesting than the first ten. The project that the Titans and Raiders will be the two teams that gain the most offensive juice, and Colin argues that the pick of Omarion Hampton makes the Chargers a “Jim Harbaugh football team” They talk about the massive crowd in attendance for the draft in Green Bay, why it’s one of the best sports cities in America despite its small size, and why the Packers drafting WR Matthew Golden is in response to injuries to Christian Watson. Colin argues the Commanders draft position puts them with a group of teams with far better rosters. They debate whether the Giants trading up to #25 to grab QB Jaxson Dart was a huge reach, and were SHOCKED the Falcons traded a future 1st to draft James Pierce Jr. They discuss the resurgence in the value of safeties after the Ravens draft S Malaki Starks from Georgia They point to the later teams selecting for need, including the Lions selecting a defensive tackle as a product of the slew of injuries they suffered on defense in 2024, and the Commanders beefing up their offensive line to protect Jayden Daniels. Colin expresses his surprise that Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round in a quarterback needy league, and they look at potential landing spots for the Colorado star and marvel at the number of picks made from schools in the SEC and Big Ten.

Colin gives his instant reaction to Nuggets vs Clippers and Lakers vs Timberwolves! He starts with the Wolves physically bullying the Lakers and the Lakers being unable to adjust, but expects the Lakers to bounce back and play aggressively going forward in the series. He explains why the Wolves transition game overwhelmed the Lakers and why Anthony Edwards deserves a ton of credit for improving his game. Then he pivots to Nuggets/Clippers and weighs in on why playoff basketball is officiated differently and far more physical than the regular season. He details why this game was a perfect example of the full “Russell Westbrook” experience filled with ups and downs… but why Russ was a big reason the Nuggets were able to get the win. He explains why the Nuggets ability to get second chances and offensive rebounds was key to the Nuggets win, and why Kawhi Leonard is an incredible player…but not a leader, and why Westbrook was the story of the game. 3:00 Wolves bullied the Lakers physically 6:00 Knicks were able to find intensity to come back, but the Lakers couldn’t  8:30 Wolves killed the Lakers in transition 9:15 Julius Randle has a ceiling but plays with great energy 10:30 Ant Edwards deserves a ton of credit 19:30 Playoff basketball is officiated differently, they swallow the whistle 23:00 Westbrook was key for the Nuggets 27:00Jokic is 2nd best center Colin has ever seen 29:00 Kawhi Leonard is fantastic player, but not a leader 31:30 Westbrook was the difference maker (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

They start with Fox broadcasting the MLB Tokyo series between the Dodgers and Cubs and the business of baseball broadcasting rights and creating big “events” out of regular season games (3:00), and discuss whether the MLB becoming a league of “have and have nots” has actually been good for the sport overall (6:45).  They talk about the importance for networks to own the broadcasting rights to the biggest events in sports like the Super Bowl and World Series and the importance of creating lifelong memories during one of their broadcasts (12:30).

They discuss whether the WNBA is a viable television product on its own, or if the addition of Caitlin Clark’s superstardom is the only factor propping it up and why the lack of globalization has women’s basketball on a growth trajectory (40:45).  Colin argues the TV networks create a far better television product for NFL broadcasts compared to the streaming platforms and whether streamers would be best served in partnering with the networks to produce the broadcasts for streaming.

Colin is joined by Marcus Thompson, sportswriter for The Athletic and author of “Golden,” KD” and “Dynasties” to talk NBA!

They talk about the impact Butler has had on the Warriors offense (7:30), and what role to expect from Jonathan Kuminga when he returns from injury (9:45). Marcus fills Colin in on what Jimmy Butler is like in person and whether his reputation of being intense, aggressive and abrasive is accurate (12:15).

They pivot to the Luka + LeBron pairing and how their opposition views the new look Lakers, and why the Lakers could be the Warriors kryptonite (17:00). They also discuss the impact of J.J. Reddick’s coaching on the team and why their improvement on defense can be directly attributed to the coach (29:00).  They debate why Mark Cuban decided to sell his majority stake in the Mavericks and whether the prospect of moving the team to Las Vegas factored into the decision, and whether Cuban had prior insight into the Luka trade (33:45).  Colin floats his theory that LeBron had a bigger hand behind the scenes in facilitating the Luka trade than people realize, but Marcus offers a competing theory (37:00). They also debate whether the Mavs excuse of Luka being hurt and out of shape holds up (40:00). They try to diagnose what’s wrong with the Knicks, why they seem to have regressed since last season and why they have almost no chance of beating the Celtics or Cavs in the playoffs (50:00).

Brown or cut/trade both in order to keep their dominant offensive and defensive lines intact (10:30).  They talk about how the infusion of NIL money has changed the game when drafting “celebrity quarterbacks” from college and why it’s given more leverage to prospects, and whether  Shedeur Sanders could overplay his hand in that environment (17:30).  They discuss Jerry Jones’ skipping his typical press conference at the combine after the Deebo Samuel to the Commanders move, why Dak’s contract will sink America’s Team and why Dallas might draft a quarterback in an early round (28:45).   They break down why the ambiguity surrounding Sam Darnold’s future is just the Vikings doing Sam a “solid” after a great season, and predict the Vikings will end up rolling with J.J.

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “Breakfast Ball” on FS1! They start with the criticisms of the NBA and NBA All-Star game and why despite all the chatter, the league is in a great place from a business standpoint, why the ridiculousness of the all star game is actually an endearing quality but why they want to see more effort from the players (3:15).  They discuss the ever increasing number of three point shots translating to even more blowouts and why it diminishes the product during the regular season and why NIL could help with the development of domestic talent (9:00).

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Packers blowing out the Saints on Monday Night Football. While he normally waits until AFTER the game to record the pod, Colin only needed until halftime to decide the Packers/Saints game was the least competitive game he’d seen all year (4:00).

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Broncos beating the Browns in a 41-32 shootout on Monday Night Football!

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 8 NFL action! They start with Sunday Night Football and the Niners holding off the Cowboys. They point the finger at Jerry Jones for signing bad contracts and mismanaging team personnel (7:00) and point out that Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott are very similar quarterbacks…with wildly different paychecks (15:00) Then, they break down a crazy hail-mary finish between the Commanders and Bears and rip the Bears for their absolutely horrific offensive game plan and explain why they made a mistake drafting wide receiver Rome Odunze instead of drafting an offensive lineman (30:30). They point to a total “systemic breakdown” for the Jets after their third straight loss since firing Robert Salah and highlight their defense getting progressively worse (40:00). They both agree Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson can’t function as an NFL quarterback and agree that if the Colts want to win they need to start Joe Flacco (55:00). They call the Eagles win over the Bengals one of their most important, and call out Bengals ownership for being cheap and refusing to support Joe Burrow with a quality supporting cast and coach (01:09:00), and contrast that to the coaching job Sean Payton has done with the Broncos in order to get a subpar roster to a 5-3 start (01:17:00). Finally, they discuss the huge ratings so far for the Yankees vs Dodgers World Series and point out to the star studded lineups for both teams as one of the drivers of huge fan interest (01:25:00) (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

John dives into another Monday Night Football double-header, headlined by reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens dominating Baker Mayfield’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. John tips his cap to one of the best offensive players in the NFL and explains why the Ravens dynamic offense, after adding star running back Derrick Henry, is capable of propelling Baltimore to the Super Bowl this season. John proceeds to say that Baltimore’s borderline-unstoppable run game actually might make it EASIER for them to advance past Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs than ever before, and could finally take it to the next level. After, Middlekauff breaks down the Buccaneers slew of injuries, headlined by the loss of stud WR Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Richard Sherman reacts to the Monday Night Football slate for Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry's dominance over NFL defenses continued as the Baltimore Ravens took care of Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 41-31. Is Baltimore the biggest threat to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC? In Arizona, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers couldn't find the end zone in a disappointing loss to Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. Richard goes on to react to the NFL headlines, including San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk suffering a season-ending injury, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams getting a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy, Tua Tagovailoa suiting back up for the Miami Dolphins, and Bill Belichick calling out New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo.
