    Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk football.

Colin also pushes back on the idea that the Bears have the toughest schedule (15:45). They move to Aaron Rodgers finally signing a one year deal with the Steelers and debate what type of season to expect from the veteran (27:30).  They pivot to college football looking to expand to a 24 team playoff and Colin explains why it will encourage teams to schedule better opponents during the season and will create a better regular season even if it creates more blowouts in the playoff (38:30).
