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). They also break down why the NBA needs to be more comfortable with tweaking the rules to create the best television product like the NFL does (14:00), and why parity isn’t great for sports like baseball (23:45).

They debate the level of difficulty GM’s face when drafting NBA talent when NBA prospects have almost very little exposure to other top talent at the high school and college levels (34:00).

They pivot to the SNL 50th Anniversary special and discuss the massive cultural impact SNL has made on the world of comedy and the huge roster of A-list talent the show has incubated, and why the critics don’t appreciate the greatness that has come from SNL (50:00). Colin talks about why modern critics seek perfection and hopes it doesn’t cause artists to hesitate to take big swings (57:00).

They discuss Aaron Rodgers begging the Jets to stay and still being shown the door due to his ego and lack of self-awareness (1:11:00), and why it wouldn’t be crazy for the Giants to give up a first round pick for Matthew Stafford (1:14:00).

They discuss American’s reluctance to embrace change and why Democrats tend to be far more neurotic when they lose compared to Republicans and Danny suggests an under the radar candidate that could run in 2028 (1:20:00).

Finally, they discuss the two types of “artists” and why LeBron James is one type and Kevin Durant is the other, reflect on Durant’s legacy in the NBA and debate whether winning his rings from joining a stacked Warriors team diminishes that legacy (1:27:00).

First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the Eagles crushing the Chiefs in the Super Bowl!

They begin with the Eagles absolutely dominating the Chiefs in the trenches on both sides of the ball (3:15) and why this Eagles team isn’t going ANYWHERE because they’re so talented and well run (11:00). Finally, they react to the news that the Jets are dumping Aaron Rodgers because the new coach didn’t want his personality in the building as they try to reboot (16:30).

Then he's joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to talk about all things NBA!

They start with Luka Doncic making his debut with the Lakers and why his presence has reinvigorated the team and given the Lakers offense the juice to compete in the postseason (28:30)). They examine all the potential western conference teams that could create problems for the Lakers in the playoffs and why the Lakers should be able to compete with all of them (32:30).

Colin calls the Spurs the team he wouldn’t want to face in the playoffs despite having a record that wouldn’t qualify them for the play-in (37:00), and they discuss why Jimmy Butler being the “anti-Wiggins” has proven to be a perfect fit for the Warriors (39:00).

They start with Luka Doncic making his debut with the Lakers and why his presence has reinvigorated the team and given the Lakers offense the juice to compete in the postseason (4:15). They examine all the potential western conference teams that could create problems for the Lakers in the playoffs and why the Lakers should be able to compete with all of them (8:00).

Finally, Colin explains why the size of the supermax contract Luka was due makes trading him far less egregious (56:45).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to react to the Eagles destroying the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59!

They start with the Chiefs being completely overwhelmed at the line of scrimmage by both the Eagles defensive front and offensive line (3:00).

They credit Jalen Hurts for being the perfect fit for the Eagles offense and call him the “modern day Russell Wilson” (14:00)and why the Eagles are the perfect example of a team that has built their team incredibly well through the draft and why he deserved to win the Super Bowl MVP award (25:00).

They discuss why one of the winners on the night is MYLES GARRETT in the trade market after a night where the Eagles pass rush dominated the game (31:00), and why the Eagles fans showed up in a huge way at the game (33:00).

They dissect why Nick Sirriani has proven himself as a great culture builder despite their earlier concerns and why he could be the perfect fit for Philly (38:00), and debate what this bad loss means for the legacy of Patrick Mahomes in the GOAT debate (42::30.

They float the idea of the Chiefs trading for Myles Garrett if Travis Kelce decides to retire and frees up salary cap space and how that could transform the franchise (52:00), and why the Cowboys should consider trading Micah Parsons in order to try to close the talent gap between them and the Eagles (56:15).

Finally, they talk about the importance of the Eagles landing Saquon Barkley, and the Jets deciding to move off of Aaron Rodges (1:03:00).

Colin starts the show by addressing him getting sick while on-air on The Herd and that he’s feeling better now (4:00). Then, he tries to make sense of the Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers and why the trade compensation wasn’t nearly enough. He also explains why this move has been in the works for a while, why the looming supermax contract extension was a contributing factor and why LeBron will find a way to make it work on the court (5:30).

Then he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to preview the Super Bowl!

They start by talking about Patrick Mahomes and dissecting what his secret sauce is when facing pressure, and why facing an increasingly good Chiefs defense in practice has helped sharpen him (21:00). They debate where the Chiefs would rank amongst the all-time great teams if they are able to win three straight championships by beating an incredibly talented Eagles roster (29:30).

They highlight Jalen Hurts being subpar under pressure as a weakness the Chiefs can exploit (35:30), and John predicts that Dallas Goedert could be in for a big game for the Eagles (39:45).
