Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the week 17 NFL Sunday slate. They start with the Eagles holding off a late rally by the Bills to win in Buffalo and agree the Bills are entirely too Josh Allen dependent when he’s clearly not 100%, and discuss the hot/cold nature of the Eagles offense. They both agree the Bills look like a one and done team in the playoffs (2:30). They move to the Steelers loss to the Browns putting their playoff hopes in jeopardy and point to DK Metcalf’s suspension making their offense completely inept and discuss whether Mike Tomlin’s tenure in Pittsburgh has run its course (15:00). They recap the Seahawks win over the Panthers and Colin explains that while the Seahawks don’t excel at any one thing, they also don’t have a real weakness (29:30).  They break down the Patriots blowout win over the Jets and Colin believes that people are underselling the Pats and that if they’re “on” they can beat anybody in the AFC (35:30). They move to the Saturday games and start with the Ravens win over the Packers. Colin believes the Ravens will beat the Steelers to make the playoffs but John counters that the Ravens can look vastly different week to week.

Finally, they discuss former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham being hired at Michigan and Colin explains why having an adult in the room will be a positive for UM and his style of football will work perfectly in the Big Ten (1:09:00).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

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. Colin argues that the power schools are more than happy to play the weaker schools early in the season and shouldn’t complain when you face them in the playoff (3:30).  They move to the announcement that the USC/Notre Dame series is being put on hold after ND inked a home and away deal with BYU and Colin argues Notre Dame should have offered more wiggle room to USC in order to maintain a respectably challenging schedule (9:30). 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).

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1. They start by discussing Barstool’s deal with Netflix and  the podcast space expanding from audio to video.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 14 NFL action. They start with the Broncos winning a heavyweight fight with the Packers and agree it was the best game of Bo Nix’s career and that the Broncos stepped up big time in a “prove it” game (3:15). After key injuries to Christian Watson and Micah Parsons, they call it a “crippling game” for the Packers (9:45).  They move to the Seahawks win over the Colts in the return of 44 year old Philip Rivers.

Colin’s top takes of the week. First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. They start with the red-hot 24-1 Oklahoma City Thunder and why they are positioned to go on a 5+ year run of sustained success due to smart management & analytics rather than money like the Dodgers do in baseball (3:00). They debate whether the goal of parity is achievable and whether it’s good for sports (9:30). They talk about why the “influencer” nature of Shedeur Sanders scared teams away from drafting him and why he’s proven to be much better than GM’s and scouts thought he’d be, but Danny cautions that it’s too soon to label him a franchise quarterback (13:00).  Finally, they  highlight the tremendous progress and improvement Caleb Williams has made in year two. Colin argues that his comp is a “shorter Josh Allen” and Danny counters with a “young Aaron Rodgers” (26:00) Then, Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to try and make sense of the lost season for the Ravens and the huge decline in play from Lamar Jackson (33:00), discuss the dominant nature of the LA Rams (38:15) and what to make of JJ McCarthy’s best game of the season.

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 is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 13 NFL action & top stories from college football. They start with Lane Kiffin leaving his highly ranked Ole Miss team for rival LSU ahead of the college football playoff & explain that while they feel for Ole Miss fans… this is a calendar issue that needs to be addressed that college football may need a president to oversee the entire operation (3:00).  They move to the NFL and start with the Bills beating the Steelers in a game where a bloodied Aaron Rodgers exited early. Colin highlights that the Steelers have no quarterback of the future and they debate what should be done with both Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott (13:00). They revisit the Thanksgiving Day action and Colin argues that the Cowboys defense is actually improved after the Micah Parsons trade now that they’ve shored up their interior defensive line & have more flexibility (28:00).  They move to the Packers beating the Lions on Thanksgiving and Colin lauds Matt Lafleur for fixing the Packers broken passing attack and argues the Lions are MISSING Ben Johnson and will get worse before they get better (35:00).

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

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).

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Blue Jays beating the Mariners to advance to the World Series and the Lions drubbing the Buccaneers on MNF.

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). Finally, they debate why Jason Garrett has remained out of coaching and Colin argues he’d be a great fit in college (1:00:00).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Monday Night Football doubleheader and the Dodgers win over the Brewers. He starts with the Bears beating the Commanders on a walk off field goal and argues the Bears came away with multiple positives, including a solid performance from Caleb Williams, a strong run game and an opportunistic defense that gave the Bears a W in a game they typically lose (3:00). He moves to the Falcons dominating the Bills behind a huge performance by Bijan Robinson. 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.)

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 6 NFL action. They start with the Bucs beating the 49ers despite both teams suffering from a rash of injuries and Colin argues that Baker Mayfield should be the leading candidate for MVP and John highlights that the 49ers gave $277 million in the offseason to three players who are hurt (2:30). They pivot to the Broncos narrow win over the Jets and Colin’s takeaway…the Jets coaching is the worst he’s ever seen and the Broncos were LUCKY win with how poorly Bo Nix and their offense played (11:30). They move to the Steelers win over the Browns and why the Steelers big-bodied wide receivers are the perfect compliment to Aaron Rodgers at this stage of his career, and why the Steelers are starting to feel like a real team that could wrap up the division by December (25:00).  They react to the Chargers snapping their losing streak in a late win over the Dolphins despite being ravaged by injuries, and highlight the massive dysfunction in Miami and Justin Herbert’s heroics in carrying his team to victory (33:45).  They laud Dak Prescott & George Pickens play despite the Cowboys loss to Carolina in the Rico Dowdle revenge game, and argue that Bryce Young can be a functional quarterback when he’s not playing a great defense (50:00).  They highlight Seattle winning 9 straight road games after beating Jacksonville and the high level play from Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba through the first six games (59:30). They argue that Drake Maye is a hit at quarterback for the 4-2 Patriots (1:06:45). They react to James Franklin being fired as head coach of Penn State after disastrous losses to UCLA &  Northwestern and wonder if Penn State runs the risk of being forced into hiring an interim coach if the team rallies (1:16:00). Finally, they recap USC’s dominant win over Michigan and why it helped to dispel the notion the Lincoln Riley’s teams are “soft” (1:27:00).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s top takes of the week. He begins with the Jags beating the Chiefs on MNF and despite their 2-3 record, argues that the Chiefs offense is improving and they’re still one of the best teams in the league (3:00). Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down a wild, high-scoring game between Baker Mayfield and the Bucs & Sam Darnold’s Seahawks (9:00) and debate whether Daniel Jones deserves to be in the MVP discussion after the Colts 4-1 start (27:00).  Finally, Colin  is joined by 'First Things First' co-host Danny Parkins to discuss whether Bill Belichick will survive his first season at UNC (34:00), whether Jared Goff is on track to make the Hall of Fame (51:00), and why Colin likes using Waymo far more than Uber (56:00).
