Colin’s top takes of the week!
First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk NFL!
They start by floating the idea of the Rams and Giants flipping first round picks in exchange for Matthew Stafford, discuss whether Stafford is worth the Giants #3 overall pick and caution Stafford against negotiating too hard and ending up with a much worse team in New York (3:00).
They debate which teams will be in hot pursuit of Sam Darnold and which landing spots would be the best fit (13:30). They preview the NFL Draft combine and react to the news that quarterback Shedeur Sanders won’t attend (16:00). They talk about the recent trend of some NFL teams not even attending the combine and why there’s real value in attending in person (18:45).
Colin predicts that Travis Hunter could end up underachieving in the NFL relative to his projections, and they explain why he’d be best served focusing on being a top cornerback instead of receiver (20:30).
Then, Colin’s joined by Ethan Strauss, sportswriter and host of the “House of Strauss” podcast!
They talk about the revival of the Golden State Warriors brand to now being considered one of the top 5 most valuable franchises, debate how much of that valuation can be attributed to Steph Curry and agree he’s the most transformational athlete in American sports history (31:30).
Finally, they discuss Caitlin Clark being the “Steph Curry” of women’s sports and why the WNBA has missed opportunities to capitalize on her popularity (40:45).
