Colin’s top takes of the week!

First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, co-host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They start with the WNBA and their public compensation dispute with the players, and that despite losing money for years…why the league should pay the players as its trajectory soars in the Caitlin Clark era (3:30). They compare the ratings draw of Caitlin Clark games to other sports that rate similarly, and those are all billion dollar industries (6:00).

They discuss the major changes made to college football in recent years, and why the upside outweighs the downsides (12:15) and argue that parity in the NFl is generally a myth. They point out the predictability of knowing which teams will win their divisions, and that even the “surprise” teams aren’t usually surprising (18:30). Finally, they debate the Bears prospects in an NFC North division that has seen major reshuffling (20:00)

Then, Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low” to debate how Scottie Scheffler stacks up to Tiger Woods after winning the Open Championship (28:30) and whether we could see Nick Saban returning to coaching… in the NFL (36:00)

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low” to break down Scottie Scheffler’s win at the Open Championship!

They begin by comparing Scheffler to Tiger Woods and Colin argues that if they played in the same era, Scottie would be Mickelson and not Tiger (3:30). They dissect Scottie’s rant from earlier in the week about not being fulfilled by winning and explain why he’s more about the process rather than the result (7:00).

They discuss why Scheffler isn’t comfortable with the celebrity that comes with his #1 status vs. Bryson DeChambeau who seeks the spotlight (11:30). They debate whether we’ve officially entered the “Scheffler” era of golf and whether other top golfers like Rory McIlroy and Dechambeau can elevate to match him (19:30). They break down the economics of modern golf vs. earlier eras and why golfers will age better than in prior eras (23:00).

The move to the WNBA players making their CBA negotiation a public dispute with their t-shirts and debate whether the players have the leverage to demand a raise (42:00). They discuss the pairing of FOX Sports and Barstool, why the partnership makes perfect sense, and why FOX needs to let Barstool be Barstool (1:01:00).

Finally, they discuss the cancellation of Late Night with Stephen Colbert and why the injection of partisan politics into media has been bad for content and the country (1:14:00).

Colin gives his reaction to the announcement that CBS will be ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He looks back at the history of the show, and why the defining moment of Colbert’s time with the show was when he “stepped on the bit” with his political opinion during a segment with Jon Stewart over Covid. He points to viewers' changing habits and the injection of partisan politics into late night as the two reasons that late night shows are a dying breed.
