    John breaks down the Monday Night NFL Wild Card matchup where Matt Stafford, Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams kick the living crap out of Kevin O’Connell, Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 27-9. Middlekauff kicks us off by tipping his cap to a fast and physical Los Angeles Rams defense before GOING OFF on Minnesota Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell and QB Sam Darnold for imploding towards the end of their season. Middlekauff proceeds to compare O’Connell to James Harden, saying that he always performs in the regular season and folds when it matters the most. After, John reacts to the news that Mike McCarthy will not return as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and explains why owner Jerry Jones’ decision making over the last few weeks is confusing and unpredictable. John then goes on to wonder who could partner up with Jerry Jones and America’s team and throws out names such as Bill Belichick, Deion Sanders and Kellen Moore.

John salutes the Commanders, led by potential NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, for winning their first playoff game since 2005 in the most exciting game of the NFL playoff weekend.

    Colin Cowherd Podcast - Jayden Daniels Best Rookie QB Ever? Eagles Smother Packers, Bills CRUSH Broncos, Patriots Hire Mike Vrabel

    Colin starts by reacting to the Commanders beating the Bucs on a walk off field goal and debates whether Jayden Daniels has been the best rookie quarterback in NFL history (2:45). Then, Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and out” to break down all the early Sunday NFL action from wild card weekend! They start with the Eagles smothering the Packers despite a pedestrian showing from Jalen Hurts and why the early turnover by the Packers forced Jordan Love into more reckless throws that eventually sunk them (18:00). They heap praise on Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and that they are “his” team (26:45).  They pivot to the Bills crushing the Broncos in a game they call “unwinnable” for Denver while the Bills looked flawless and believe THIS is the year the Bills are best equipped to make it to the Super Bowl (32:30).  They discuss whether the Steelers should trade head coach Mike Tomlin in order to acquire draft assets and shake things up for a franchise that has been stagnant for several years (48:00). They talk about why the Mike Vrabel/Patriots pairing is a match made in heaven and Colin predicts massive improvement for the Pats next season (55:30).  Finally, they address the fires in Los Angeles and Colin expresses his disgust with the politicization and criticism of the response from people who don’t live in or understand LA, but also address some reservations they both have about issues with governance in California (1:07:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

    3 & Out - Ravens Soar by the Steelers, Texans handle the Chargers, Coaching carousel 

    John dives into another loaded NFL Saturday slate capped by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry leading the Baltimore Ravens to a dominant 28-14 victory over Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers. Middlekauff starts off by going in on the Steelers and their veteran head coach after another early playoff exit, and suggests that it’s time to move on from Mike Tomlin in the Steel City. John proceeds to say the Steelers need to take action now and move on from Tomlin in favor of a fresh face on the NFL coaching carousel, suggesting that they could trade the veteran head coach to maximize his value. John then tips his cap to an impressive Baltimore Ravens squad, led by an EVEN BETTER reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, and goes on to wonder how legit their Super Bowl chances really are. Next, Middlekauff dives into Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers unraveling against a locked-in Houston Texans defense, and explains why he was wrong about the Bolts going into this playoff tilt. John tips his cap to Demeco Ryans, CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans, anchored by star pass rushers Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson, as the preseason-AFC darling advances past the first round of the postseason yet again. After, Middlekauff gives thoughts on the NFL’s coaching carousel including rumors of a far-along deal between Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots, the question marks surrounding the New York Jets litany of interviews and what’s going on with the Miami Dolphins. 3:50 - Ravens beat down the Steelers 24:36 - Texans take down the Chargers 33:20 - NFL’s coaching carousel Follow John on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for the latest.

    John breaks down Ohio State defeating Texas 28-14 in the College Football Playoff’s semifinal. Led by a potent Buckeyes defense, Ohio State took down Steve Sarkisian, Quinn Ewers and the Texas Longhorns, punching their ticket to a National Championship appearance against Notre Dame. John starts off by tipping his cap to Ryan Day, Chip Kelly and the Ohio State Buckeyes for turning around their season after a tough loss to the Michigan Wolverines en route to a DOMINANT College Football Playoff run. John goes on to explain why Steve Sarkisian’s play calling ended up losing the game for the Longhorns, and compliments the Buckeyes high-powered offense and inventive game plan. After, John dives into Quinn Ewers struggles and what makes him unfit for the NFL before diving into former Georgia QB Carson Beck transferring to the Miami Hurricanes.

    3 & Out - Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeat Penn State in THRILLING College Football Playoff battle

    John is back breaking down Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame knocking off James Franklin’s Penn State squad by a score of 27-24 in the College Football Playoff’s Orange Bowl. John starts off by tipping his cap to Marcus Freeman and the red-hot fighting Irish before GOING OFF on Penn State quarterback Drew Allar for his poor play against a locked-in defensive unit. Next, Middlekauff tees off on James Franklin’s poor halftime adjustments and blasts Penn State for being unable to win the big game despite having more talent on the field than the banged-up Fighting Irish and explains why he wouldn’t blame the Tennessee Titans for taking star pass rusher Abdul Carter No. 1 overall in April’s NFL Draft. Then, John looks ahead to Notre Dame’s potential path to hoisting the National Championship trophy, and explains why this iteration of Notre Dame is more successful than any team under former Irish head coach, and former LSU head coach, Brian Kelly’s tenure. After, John wonders if Penn State’s title window is closing and suggests that it will only get more difficult for the Nittany Lions to win it all as the College Football Playoff grow. Later, John is joined by The Action Networks betting Guru, Stuckey to breakdown the NFL playoff games and give you their best bets for each game. 4:20 - Notre Dame - Penn State reaction 32:44 - Stuckey Interview Follow John on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for the latest.
