    Colin Cowherd Podcast - INSTANT REACTION: Nick Wright Part 1: NBA Is Still Great…Just Not In January, Market Size MATTERS, Big NFL Draft Swings

    Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

    They start by talking about why the NBA is still fantastic, just not in January (3:00) and why the NBA needed to start pivoting to the younger generation of stars sooner than they have (8:00). They push back on the narrative that the size of a team’s market doesn’t matter (11:45), why LeBron was an outlier in being the only true “face of the league” playing in a small market (14:00) and why this Knicks playoff run is huge for the league (23:00).

    Nick explains why he can predict the Chiefs opponent in their home opener based on the size of their opponent’s brand and the narrative surrounding them (23:00). Colin offers his theory on why cap space isn’t as debilitating as advertised and why teams need to be confident in taking big swings, a la Atlanta drafting Michael Penix…but Nick pushes back(30:00). 

    Don’t forget to check back for part two of the conversation with Nick Wright!

    Colin Cowherd Podcast - Bears Win The Offseason, Cousins/Penix Situation Could Get Awkward, No New Weapons For Dak, Kevin Durant Is Irrelevant

    Colin Cowherd Podcast - Bears Win The Offseason, Cousins/Penix Situation Could Get Awkward, No New Weapons For Dak, Kevin Durant Is Irrelevant

    Colin is joined by John MIddlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft!


    They start with the Cowboys seeming to deliberately not load up on weapons in Dak Prescott’s contract year (3:30) and why the Bears won the offseason (7:30) They rate the Bears chances in a stacked NFC North (11:00) and Colin explains why the Raiders could be set up perfectly to draft a quarterback NEXT year (14:00)

    They dissect the drama in Atlanta and why the Kirk Cousins/Michael Penix situation could get awkward fast (19:15), and rate Jim Harbaugh’s draft as “substance” rather than flash (27:00)

    They predict the first and last place finishers for every NFL division (33:15) and rate the Titans draft as the weirdest (37:15).

    Piggybacking on the Titans talk, they go behind the scenes into why so many NFL organizations are dysfunctional, and reveal the best run team in the league (44:00).

    Finally, they each pick their biggest whiff on a take from the past couple of years (01:05:00), debate whether the Sixers are a “failed experiment” (01:10:00) and explain why bad business decisions have made Kevin Durant irrelevant in the NBA (01:15:00).

Chi Town

You mention Howard Stern several times in the past 9 yrs I have been watching. Good for you & follow his broadcasting print. Go to Chicago, change up your hrs, work less days, & enjoy your life. Howard works out of his home, does 3 days a week, summers off, & still does great work. You are a businessman & I like this negotiation strategy. Keep up the great work & please help the bulls when you get to chi town. So frustrating!!

Great work Colin

Love the show!

You are awesome!

I LOVE your show and have listened for well over a decade and read both of your books. Fantastic stuff! I totally buy in to you as “Uncle Colin” on many life issues. Where is the mic drop moment in this podcast about Brady? You discuss it and say you think he comes back first week of May, but there is no, “Nick, he’s coming back!” Moment in this episode. With that, I’ll continue to listen and know I love your accountability in journalism with “Colin right, Colin wrong” at 1:00 on Mondays. I hope you have a better year with Blazing 5.
