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

They start with Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air before being reinstated and agree that Disney CEO Bob Iger made the right call (3:00), and that Kimmel’s popularity and likeability amongst California’s creative class added additional pressure on Iger (9:30). They also discuss the level of responsibility people with large platforms have to speak out on major political and news issues (14:00), and balancing talking about issues they find interesting versus what their audience wants to hear (25:30).

They pivot to baseball and Colin argues the most interesting teams and stars are playoff bound which is good for the business of MLB (35:00). They discuss Danny’s move from Chicago to New York and contrast and compare the sports and sports fans of those cities (38:30).

Colin highlights the huge advantage the Green Bay Packers have over the rest of the league by not having an impulsive, impatient billionaire owner that meddles with the team(49:00), but Danny argues they were fairly lucky with drafting quarterbacks (54:00).

Finally, Danny explains why he’s changed his position of wanting to fire NFL coaches for bad game management decisions and has gained a great understanding of the full sense of what makes a good coach, and they discuss the multiple factors that go into making a great coach (1:00).
