Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”! They start with the draft evaluation for Shedeur Sanders and Colin argues that regardless of where he gets drafted, he’ll likely be the third best quarterback in his division and whether that analysis gets factored into his draft position (4:15). They dissect the Giants roster after signing Russell Wilson and whether it would make sense to pass on Shedeur and draft a different position of need (8:30). John explains why a “high floor” isn’t really a thing when it comes to drafting whereas “high ceiling” is VERY real (12:45). They debate why teams missed on Brock Purdy in the draft, why there were signs early on that he was going to massively outperform his draft stock, and why intangibles really matter (16:00). They look at the over/under win totals and make their predictions for who will over/under perform their expectations in Vegas. Colin predicts the Chiefs will underperform, John predicts the 49ers will overperform, and that the Dolphins will implode (26:00). They also predict overperformance from the Titans, Patriots and Chargers (31:15). They pivot to college football and weigh in on the unorthodox pairing of Deion Sanders and Colorado, and the surprise of Deion being all in on the Buffs despite Shedeur moving on to the NFL (37:00).  They debate whether lower turnout in youth football will cause the NFL to become more like the NBA where it becomes a league of “have’s” and “have not’s” because of a diminished talent pool at lower levels, and why player mobility has transformed development (48:00).  Finally, Colin lauds college football becoming more professional in its model and why it’s been great for both the sport and fans (59:15).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”! They start with their takeaways from March Madness, why elite defense makes all the difference in the later rounds of the tournament, and why Cooper Flagg projects to be the next iteration of Jayson Tatum (3:30). They break down why college basketball is a far better money making and brand building opportunity for young basketball players compared to playing in the G-League (8:00). They react to LeBron’s comments on Pat McAfee’s show comparing NBA eras and explain why it’s completely pointless because of how much the game has changed (14:00). They discuss why the Celtics effort has separated them from other top teams in the era of resting and load management, and why they should be favorites to win the title (23:15). They debate whether a dominant regular season will translate in the playoffs for the young OKC Thunder roster, and whether they have a weakness that could sink them in a series (29:00). They dissect the Lakers postseason chances and whether Austin Reeves improved play could power them to the finals (34:30). They explain why Jonathon Kuminga has become the odd man out of the Warriors rotation heading into the playoffs (40:00), and Colin expresses frustration with Luka Doncic’s lack of leadership and defensive effort when compared to LeBron (52:00).   Finally, they discuss whether there’s anything the NBA can do to avoid tanking when transformational talent is so easy to identify early and incentivizes teams to tank (58:00).

Colin’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1 They start with the breaking news of Stefon Diggs getting a massive contract with the Patriots.  Colin offers his theory that Pats coach Mike Vrabel was willing to overpay Diggs after he struggled coaching the Titans after A.J. Brown was traded, but Nick offers some pushback (3:30). They move to Russell Wilson signing with the Giants and whether that means the Giants are signaling their intention to pass on drafting Shedeur Sanders, whether they think he’ll be gone by pick #3 (9:30).  They talk about the mediocrity of the Steelers as a franchise for the past several years and why they need a fresh start without Mike Tomlin (25:00). They also break down why the Dallas Cowboys overpaying Dak Prescott should offer a cautionary tale to the 49ers about paying Brock Purdy top dollar (32:15).  They discuss Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua announcing his intentions to retire by age 30 and discuss why going public with that information does NOTHING to help him (43:45), and why locking in a particular mindset can make the difference between success or failure (53:30) .   Finally, they compare and contrast the big brands vs mid-majors in college basketball and Colin explains why he isn’t enough of a “nerd” to watch smaller schools and why only a few college basketball teams are even watchable (1:14:00).

They start with how Rick Pitino was able to take over at St. John’s and turning the program into one of the best in the country, and why he’s one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all-time (31:00).  They pivot to Duke and why the team was able to retain its status as a top college basketball program under Jon Scheyer after legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski retired, and what makes Scheyer such an effective coach (35:30). Finally, they move to the NBA and discuss why the Knicks were able to build their best team in years but still needing to make moves to get over the hump and win a title, and whether coach Tom Thibodeau can survive an early round playoff exit (39:45).
