The Volume

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1. They start by discussing Barstool’s deal with Netflix and the podcast space expanding from audio to video. They compare it to sports moving from radio to TV and explain why it isn’t “selling out”...it’s smart business (3:00). They move to the criticism of the NBA Cup and they both agree the blowback is unfounded and that the in-season tournament is a hit since the players bought in (19:00). Colin offers his new theory that explains the unprecedented drop off from Russell Wilson after seeing Tua on MNF. He argues that when smaller quarterbacks are afraid to get hit, they age overnight. They both agree that Tua’s career is likely over (29:45). They discuss the evolution of Justin Herbert, and why they think he could win a title and an MVP under Jim Harbaugh (37:15). They also express sympathy for Joe Burrow after he gave multiple despondent press conferences and they debate whether his discontent is purely with the Bengals or if there are other factors (43:45). They also try to decipher what the trade value for Burrow would be if he forces a trade (58:00). Finally, Colin explains why Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is an easy player to scout due to Indiana running an NFL style offense (1:00:30), and they discuss some of their bad sports bets (1:06:00).
