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).

KAT Outplaying Wemby, Knicks Are A GREAT Story, Knicks Are A BAD Matchup For The Spurs, RIP Stacey King

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 move to the NBA Finals and whether Wemby’s thin frame has become a disadvantage when playing against the thicker, stronger Karl-Anthony Towns (6:00), 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 (10:15). 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). 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 (25:30). They highlight that the Knicks have a special locker room chemistry that has led them to play for one another and exceed expectations (31:45). Jason breaks down why the Knicks have been able to break down the Spurs defense with ease, and why the Knicks are just a terrible matchup for the Spurs (37:00).

Prime Cuts - Wemby Is The Best Player In The World, Secret To The Knicks Success, OKC’s Offseason Moves

Colin’s top takes of the week. First, Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the NBA playoffs. They begin with Colin explaining why he became a “fan” during Game 7 and why he was pulling for the Spurs dynasty to begin, and Jason highlights some of the adjustments the Spurs made to beat the defending champs (3:00). Colin marvels at the poise and composure an incredibly young Spurs team showed in a high pressure game 7 on the road, and they make the case for Wemby being the best player in the world (8:45). Colin argues that Thunder GM Sam Presti may have to look into trading for Giannis in order to compete with the Spurs going forward, but Jason argues that Presti should look to target someone in the draft (14:15). Then, Colin is joined by legendary sportswriter Ian O’Connor to talk about all things Knicks. They start with Colin’s theory that the Knicks began their resurgence after owner James Dolan stepped away to build the Sphere and became more distracted and hands-off from running the team and letting GM Leon Rose build the roster (24:30). They discuss the reasons behind Mike Brown’s success as head coach and why he’s been able to succeed when past coaches have failed, and the change he made to the role of Karl-Anthony Towns (29:45). They examine the Knicks supporting case and why their high effort, tough nosed style of basketball feels a bit like Villanova…but yet, it works (34:15 ). Finally, they discuss Jalen Brunson’s incredibly rare team friendly contract with the Knicks, and why he knew that ending the Knicks title drought would be worth far more than a few million dollars on his contract (38:30).

You and John aren’t watching football based on this take

I’m not a bama fan but I’ve watched every game Simpson played this year and for you to say he is a game manager with a weak arm is so misinformed. He under threw one ball in the game you were referring and admittedly not his best game. If you watch the games He has an absolute cannon.. not only that but a Johnny Manziel type way of eluding pressure then making incredible throws on the run. To me he is the number one prospect if not this year, the next. I love you guys but that statement made you look bad Collin.. like you don’t watch games. Anyway, yall are my favorite.

The elitist Colin “Cowturd” has bought and is selling the media coolaid on ND! Listened for a very long, very disappointed in your ND take, doesn’t fit anything you’ve ever said about having the best teams in. Don’t give me schedule - A&M beat us by 1 point and Ark by only 3 points - a team we crushed at their place 56-13!!! ND could’ve won this year if they had been let in. 5 SEC teams is a joke and you know it, but you’ve been an SEC homer for years (though you’re trying to jump off that bandwagon). In that regard you never should’ve left the other place, because they own the SEC, which may all be gone by the final four of this CFP. 😂 When they are, will you throw that on your where Colin was right segment? Doubt it! I’ve listened for years - this take stunk!! Seriously stunk! Not that the opinion of fans matters, as long as the media gets their way.

Franky Camelot

Enjoy the podcasts and my complaint is more of a technical issue. Last few weeks I’ve been unable to listen to any of the Volumes episodes due to it saying “temporarily unavailable”. Every other podcast on other shows I follow work fine so it’s not an internet or phone issue. I’ve commented numerous times on the Facebook versions to address this issue but still no response or resolution. Fix this please.
