USMNT Poised To Make A Run, NBA Draft, NBA Parity>Dynasties

Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. They start with the World Cup and Colin argues that even non-soccer fans can spot greatness on the soccer field, and that the USMNT has looked great so far, and even though we may not win it… we’ve substantially closed the gap with the world’s best teams (3:30). They move to the NBA draft and discuss who they think the Chicago Bulls will draft at #4, and whether they should consider drafting local Illinois star Keaton Wagler, or possibly Duke star Cameron Boozer if he falls (12:30). They also discuss the concerns surrounding Darryn Peterson (24:00). Colin points to changes made by Adam Silver leading to a new NBA Finals champion every year and that parity has been better than dynasties for the sport (29:30). They discuss why all sports now are competitive and in a really good place now that they’re the one thing people watch on live TV (36:30). Finally, Colin shares the story of one of his first experiences with sports gambling when he was working as a young sports reporter in Las Vegas. They also discuss some of their best gambling strategies (50:00). All lines provided by @hardrockbet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Knicks Win The Title, Wemby Got Bullied, Brunson Greatest Knicks Leader

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the Knicks win over the Spurs in the NBA Finals. They start with Colin highlighting the physical play that the referees allow in the playoffs was too much for Wemby and his thin frame, and Jason argues that Wemby is built to be more of a perimeter player (3:15). Colin argues that Jalen Brunson is the greatest leader in Knicks history, and Jason explains how Brunson uses his creativity to make up for his lack of physical traits (9:00). Colin believes that the loss will benefit the Spurs in the long run, and make them even better going forward, and they discuss how age and experience won the series for the Knicks (13:15). Jason argues that the Spurs guards made some bad mistakes driving into the Knicks defense, and became too reliant on De’Aaron Fox taking pull up jumpers (19:00). They also debate what the Knicks will look like in a year and they both agree that the Knicks aren’t going anywhere (28:30). They pivot to the Lakers and debate whether the should pay or trade Austin Reeves, and what type of talent to put around him should they keep him (35:45). Finally, they discuss how everything came together in order for the Knicks to win the championship, and why it will be difficult for them to repeat (40:30).

Prime Cuts - What Makes The Knicks Special, KAT Outplaying Wemby, Leonard Fournette On Joining Brady’s Bucs

Colin’s top takes of the week. First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”. They start with the NBA Finals and debate whether Wemby’s thin frame has become a disadvantage when playing against the thicker, stronger Karl-Anthony Towns (3:30), why the expectations that Wemby be a finished product at 22 years old are unrealistic, and why Towns has grown and learned from past mistakes that cost his teams (7:30). They also discuss the confluence of events that have to come together in order for a non-star driven team like the Knicks to win the NBA title (12:30). They highlight that the Knicks have a special locker room chemistry that has led them to play for one another and exceed expectations (18:30). Then, Colin is joined by former NFL stars Leonard Fournette and Jarvis Landry, hosts of “4 and South” on the Volume. They discuss Leonard’s experience of joining the Tom Brady led Tampa Bay Bucs and eventually winning a Super Bowl, and what happened during their bye week that fixed the offense (28:00). Jarvis looks back fondly on the Browns team he played on with Baker Mayfield that made the playoffs, and why Covid helped the team focus (33:00). They also discuss the perception that Colin didn’t like Baker Mayfield, and why Colin didn’t like Baker as a fit for the Browns (36:00).

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”. They start with the city of Chicago losing the Bears to Hammond, Indiana as well as losing its bid to host World Cup games and the trend of states/cities competing with each other to host professional sports teams (3:30).

They argue that the Spurs have been making dumb mistakes you’d expect a young team to make, while the Knicks have been situationally excellent (17:30).

This is an exceptional podcast. The host stands out for his honesty and humility—he isn’t afraid to admit when he’s wrong, own his flaws, and still connect in a genuine way with both his family and everyday listeners. I look forward to every episode, and I never miss anything he releases. The range of guests is outstanding, bringing fresh stories and diverse perspectives on sports over the years.

I love the podcasts that Colin has with John Middlekauff and Nick Wright. Both are excellent. I appreciate how well they sync together, but can still offer a slightly different perspectives from different ages. My favourite podcast out there.

Obviously amazing pod, cow is a beast. But please just fix the audio, it’s relatively faint/low (not sure why)
Great

If you have followed Colin he doesn’t get swept up in a debate show and only focus on the cowboys and Lebron or KD so it’s a great balance.

100% unfiltered Colin. He delivers his no-holds-barred takes and instant reactions to the biggest stories in sports.
