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

Nick explains why the GIANTS won the draft because of a trade they weren’t able to make (2:00). They talk about why it’s painfully obvious that Tom Brady still wants to play football and break down why Brady’s competitive nature will make him a great broadcaster (11:00).

They wax philosophically about having a “competitive mentality” and how it drives them (14:30). Colin compares athletes and artists, and marvels at how athletes are unique in being able to continue to become even greater AFTER being paid, and why greatness in sports doesn’t make you a target of worship… it makes you a target. They list the biggest stars in sports and debate which are artists or athletes (21:30)

Finally, they talk about how Spencer Rattler hurt his draft stock based on how he was viewed in an old documentary, and why Shedeur Sanders talking trash online could hurt his stock as well (36:00).
