Colin gives his instant reaction to the Packers blowing out the Saints on Monday Night Football. While he normally waits until AFTER the game to record the pod, Colin only needed until halftime to decide the Packers/Saints game was the least competitive game he’d seen all year (4:00). Instead, he dives deep into the Packers unique situation of not having an owner and why that’s proven to be a huge advantage when it comes to stability and management (7:30). Finally, he addresses the public backlash to all the blowouts early in the College Football Playoff, why the blowouts were entirely predictable, and why blowouts will get worse as they expand the field of teams in the future (13:30).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the NFL and College Football Playoff action! They start with Brock Purdy throwing another terrible interception late in the game against the Dolphins and why the 49ers would be crazy to offer him the bag (4:00). They contrast Purdy’s performance to another amazing game from Sam Darnold and agree the Vikings would be crazy to let him leave in free agency (10:00). Despite the loss to the Lions, they offer some optimism for Bears fans for the future of Caleb Williams… if the Bears find the right head coach (23:30), and they debate whether the Lions high-flying offense can power them through the amount of injuries their defense has suffered (29:00). They laud the Commanders and Jayden Daniels for making the turnaround from “laughing stock” to playoffs after their comeback win over the Eagles (31:00) and Michael Penix Jr. for looking pro-ready in his debut for the Falcons (38:45). They debate whether the Rams are capable of winning a first round playoff game (45:45) and whether the Jets should consider Aaron Rodgers offer to take a pay cut to return next season (56:15). They credit Lamar Jackson for having one of the best games of his career in a huge divisional win over the Steelers and argue he should receive far more accolades than the criticism he currently receives (1:04:15). They pivot to the first round of the College Football Playoff and why it wasn’t surprising to see so many blowouts (1:15:00). They rip Indiana for their gutless game plan in which they were just trying to avoid being embarrassed rather than win (1:22:00), and Colin changes his prediction for who ultimately hoists the trophy (1:25:30). Finally, they look ahead to the quarterfinal round and predict the winners (1:30:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 15 NFL action! They start with the Eagles dominating the Steelers, why the Steelers have proven to be a completely different team when they’re missing George Pickens, and how Eagles coach Nick Sirriani has grown into his job (4:00). Colin declares Josh Allen the most talented quarterback of all time and that he has separated from Patrick Mahomes and John Elway in that category (23:00).

He cautions the 49ers about paying Brock Purdy after proving to be just “a guy” when the Niners are missing stars to injuries (3:45), and explains why he believes that Bill Belichick will only coach one year at UNC after it was revealed his contract buyout is only $1 million dollars after year one (10:45).

Colin reacts to the Rams outlasting the 49ers in a sloppy, rainy Monday Night Football game! He points out that Brock Purdy proves to be just “a guy” when the Niners don't have their full compliment of weapons to injuries, and when contrasted with Matt Stafford… doesn’t have the same franchise quarterback appeal (3:45). He also shovels dirt on the 49ers season and explains why the team needs a rebuild. He explains why he believes that Bill Belichick will only coach one year at UNC after it was revealed his contract buyout is only $1 million dollars after year one (10:45).

Colin’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1! They begin with the HUGE breaking news that Bill Belichick has signed a three year contract to coach football at the University of North Carolina and they express reservations with how this could affect his legacy and try to parse the reasons why he made the decision (4:00). They compare Belichick’s resume to Andy Reid’s to judge who will be considered greater in the long run (17:00). They discuss the backlash from baseball purists towards MLB’s proposed “golden at-bat” rule when the sport has continually evolved over the years (30:00), and why “load management” and the over reliance on three pointers are going to hurt the popularity of the NBA if the league doesn’t make changes (37:00). They debate whether the emerging trend of “have’s and have not’s” in MLB is a problem (42:30), and whether college football needs to make changes to NIL and the transfer portal to avoid the same issue (54:00). They talk about “noisy” star NFL wide receivers like Deebo Samuel and A.J. Brown, why the pendulum is swinging back towards the importance of star running backs and why huge contracts for receivers are headed for a correction (1:01:00).

Finally, they discuss why parenting and coaching have shared qualities that lead to success and why despite at the height of his success Michael Jordan wasn’t happy (1:23:00).

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Broncos beating the Browns in a 41-32 shootout on Monday Night Football!

Nick Wright: "I don't know much about college football, but here's my 90 min take on it"
So Chicago doesn't have gang violence? It's Indiana's fault? Talk about bad faith argument.
For two guys complaining about always coming down on one side of an issue, there's seems to be quite an arrogant know-it-all attitude from these two liberal clowns.
Nick Wright seems ok with men beating up women, typical
So you skip over Walz allowing his city to burn?
When did Colin start catering his show to 13 year old girls only?
So LeBron isn't selfish?
Of course Nick Wright would like Euro soccer
The same LeBron, friends with Jay Z, who doesn't seem to mind a full career of misogynistic lyrics? Please..save the outrage.
We get it Nick, you're a progressive intellect
Except he was right about the vaccine
But have you punched anyone in your 90 min prep show and then spent 2 weeks justifying it?
If Aaron Rodgers threw a punch you'd be apoplectic. Awful and self-serving take blaming media outrage.
The take on Aaron Rodgers not having kids is one of your worst. Your show has completely fallen off a cliff. Just admit you don't like anyone who differs from your political opinion...Mister "I don't talk politics".
By grifter and con you meant Obama
Only 2 took years for you to come around on masks...new info, right? A little late to the party
Only you could take an opposite take on the Jerry West story. You'd react the same if you weren't accurately portrayed. Ridiculous
Comparing Rodgers to Kyrie is absurd. The witchhunt continues
Except the right was correct from the beginning on Covid and leftists, including yourself, locked the country down for 2 full years. Congrats
yeah let's completely ignore the NBA ratings issues Uncle Colin
