The Colin Cowherd Podcast

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1.
They start with the ongoing posturing over the location of the new Bears stadium and the potential threat of moving the stadium just over the border into northern Indiana, which Colin argues is ludicrous and the idea that Indiana taxpayers would fit the bill for a Chicago based team is nuts (2:00).
They debate how much time sportscasters should devote to the NBA during the regular season when fan interest isn’t very high, but both agree that the NBA playoffs are still one of the best events on the sports calendar (11:30). Colin argues that there have only been a few “faces” of the NBA throughout its history and discuss whether Wemby will become the next one (21:15).
Colin revisits his take that Luka Doncic is just a better version of Carmelo Anthony and feels that the narrative has started to catch on, with Luka’s effort and lack of defense coming into focus nationally (28:00). Colin argues that it won’t be hard for the Lakers to move on from LeBron after the season because he hasn’t spent his career there, and Danny argues that LeBron means more to the league than the Lakers (32:30).
Colin reacts to the new Fox Sports product, Colin Cowherd AI where an automated Colin answers sports questions and they discuss their long term view of AI and how it will impact society (47:00).
They agree that they’re both “out” on the NFL Draft Combine and talk about which other sports events they just can’t get behind anymore with Danny pointing out regular season college hoops & shares a story about the time Jim Boeheim called in to his radio show (55:30).
Finally, they preview the highly touted upcoming NBA draft class prospects (1:07:00).

First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”.
They begin by evaluating Luka Doncic’s first year as a Laker and debate whether his volatility and lack of effort on defense makes him a poor emotional leader for the team (2:00). Jason argues Luka really ISN’T the leader of the team, but his high ceiling, lower floor style of play makes for more unpredictable results on a night-to-night basis. Colin dives into the massive stylistic differences between regular season & playoff basketball and they agree that the Lakers are really only built for the regular season (11:30).
They pivot to the Celtic’s “shoot 3’s and play your ass off defensively” strategy and debate how viable they’ll be in the playoffs and what to expect from the return of Jayson Tatum (17:30).
Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”.
They start with the NFL Draft Combine & discuss the behind the scenes wheeling & dealing nature of the coaches and executives at the combine, and John’s experience speaking with legendary Seahawks GM John Schneider and what the defending champs will do with Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker (26:00).
They debate whether there’s a market for Kyler Murray to have a second act and what teams may be interested (31:15), and what positions the Bears will look to solidify in the draft (34:00).

They move to the Chiefs and GM Brett Veach and the challenge of fixing the offensive line for Patrick Mahomes and discuss how much of a true “rebuild” the Chiefs need after missing the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era (5:45).
They debate whether there’s a market for Kyler Murray to have a second act and what teams may be interested (9:45), and what positions the Bears will look to solidify in the draft (13:30).
They pivot to the Eagles & discuss the rumors that Jalen Hurts isn’t particularly well liked in the locker room and John offers than despite noise on the outside… AJ Brown is very positively viewed by his teammates (24:00).
They look ahead to the draft and Colin argues that the Cardinals should offer 3 first round picks to move up from #3 to #1 to draft Fernando Mendoza and John says that based on the combine chatter… Mendoza is a lock to the Raiders at #1 (28:30).
They discuss why the made-for TV nature of the combine has made top prospects not want to participate and why the current combine process is probably on its last legs (34:30).
Finally, Colin asks John about the most tasty rumors he heard at the combine and John offers up that it’s 50/50 that Giants GM Joe Schoen survives beyond the draft with John Harbaugh now there, and the surprised reaction to Sean Payton giving up play calling duties in Denver (37:30).

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to talk all things NBA.
They begin by evaluating Luka Doncic’s first year as a Laker and debate whether his volatility and lack of effort on defense makes him a poor emotional leader for the team (2:00).

They pivot to the Celtic’s “shoot 3’s and play your ass off defensively” strategy and debate how viable they’ll be in the playoffs and what to expect from the return of Jayson Tatum (21:00).
They examine the Knicks and agree they are basically a worse version of last year’s team with a clearly defined ceiling and are likely to lose a playoff series to either the Pistons or Celtics (26:45).
They discuss Adam Silver’s willingness to abandon the dynastic nature of the NBA and whether that’s good for the league, and why it’s difficult for teams to maintain a sustained level of success (31:00).
Finally, they debate who are the “great, but not household name” players in the league (37:30) and preview an exceptional incoming draft class (43:30).

Colin’s top takes of the week.
First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1.
They begin with tanking in the NBA and Colin argues that he’s pro-tanking because it’s the only way to turn your franchise around since it’s so difficult to trade star players in the NBA (2:30). They agree that NBA players have gotten so good at shooting 3’s, it’s led to a less visually appealing product for the fans that makes the regular season tough to watch (10:45) and they debate potential fixes (23:30).
Then, joined by Art Manteris, a veteran bookmaker, to discuss sports gambling. They dive into some of the wildest sports gambling stories ever told — from massive celebrity bets to shocking moments involving Mike Tyson and others (30:00).
