Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.
 
They begin with the strong start for Danny’s Chicago Bears and why every Bears fan should be happy with the results 25 games into Caleb Williams career. (3:00) Colin highlights the importance of getting the quarterback right because the bottom 6-7 teams are completely unwatchable (8:00).
 
They debate why international NBA stars like Jokic and SGA in the NBA Finals don’t get as much traffic as stars like Ohntani in the World Series (17:00). They discuss the must-watch nature of the World Series and the watchability of postseason vs. regular season baseball and debate whether Luka’s brand combined with the Lakers could buck the trend (19:30).
 
Colin argues he’s been right for years that Joel Embiid was fool’s gold and despite his talent, he doesn’t mesh well within the construct of a team (29:30). 
 
They talk about the great turnaround in Sam Darnold’s career and discuss the huge whiffs by the Vikings and Browns letting Darnold and Baker Mayfield leave and thrive elsewhere (36:00).
 
They look ahead to the upcoming NFL slate and which games they like from a betting perspective (41:30), and debate where the Packers coach stacks up against other coaches in the league (54:00). 
 
Finally, they give their takeaways from Zohran Mamdani’s win in the NYC mayoral race and Danny is happy he doesn’t have to watch any more ugly anti -Mamdani political ads. Colin argues that political parties, like NFL teams, are only good when they land their star (1:02:00).

What's Wright - Chiefs-Bills: Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen 10, Lamar RETURNS, Bo-Liever in Broncos? | Nick Wright

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the football action.
 
They start with the Ravens beating the Bears without Lamar Jackson and they praise the Ravens for their smart, safe gameplan and agree that the biggest problem for the Bears… is Caleb Williams… and they believe Ben Johnson could move on from the former #1 overall pick (3:30).
 
They move to the Texans win over a beat-up 49ers team that couldn’t get pressure on CJ Stroud. Colin argues the medical staff may be the biggest issue for the 49ers who have had more players miss games than any other team in the league (14:15).
 
They pivot to the Eagles drubbing of the Giants and debate whether the game proved the Eagles don’t need AJ Brown and should move him before the trade deadline (27:00). 
 
They heap praise on Drake Maye for his play in the Pats win over the Browns and argue he’s ascended into a top 8 quarterback in the league. They believe the Pats could win 12 or 13 games and think a trade for AJ Brown could be in order (35:30).
 
They move to the Denver Broncos drubbing the Dallas Cowboys and Colin argues that Sean Payton used the Cowboys leaky defense to unleash Bo Nix (48:00).
 
They highlight a very weak 2026 college quarterback draft class (56:00) and argue Brian Kelly’s time at LSU is likely over. (This was recorded before Brian Kelly’s firing)

NBA Gambling Scandal Reaction: Future of sports betting

Colin’s top takes of the week.
 
First, Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.
 
They dive straight into the MASSIVE gambling & match fixing scheme that ended in the arrest of Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and Damon Jones. They call it the “NBA’s Pete Rose” moment, and Danny argues Chauncey should be thrown out of the Hall of Fame if the allegations prove to be true (3:00).
 
They discuss the world of underground gambling & the history of the intersection of the mafia, gambling and sports and Danny explains why the level of regulation in legal betting is what caused the players to be caught tanking their player props (11:00).
 
They argue that these types of scandals will happen as long as the leagues are in bed with the sportsbook, but there’s no going back with the huge money involved, and it’s better to have props monitored and regulated rather than move underground. Danny argues that there’s a solid case to outlaw “under” player props (16:00). 
 
They also recount Victor Wembanyama’s absolutely insane 40 point performance against the best frontline in the league and debate whether he’s already the best player in the league at 21 years old (26:00).
 
Then, Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the absolutely insane 4th quarter comeback for the Denver Broncos over the New York Giants (35:15), debate whether the Chiefs have regained their status as the best team in the NFL (47:45) and Colin argues that Shohei Ohtani is the greatest athlete EVER (53:00).

Prime Cuts - MASSIVE NBA Gambling Scandal, Ohtani The Greatest Athlete Ever? Broncos INSANE 4Q Comeback

Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.
 
They dive straight into the MASSIVE gambling & match fixing scheme that ended in the arrest of Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and Damon Jones. They call it the “NBA’s Pete Rose” moment, and Danny argues Chauncey should be thrown out of the Hall of Fame if the allegations prove to be true (3:00).
 
They discuss the world of underground gambling & the history of the intersection of the mafia, gambling and sports and Danny explains why the level of regulation in legal betting is what caused the players to be caught tanking their player props (11:00).
 
They argue that these types of scandals will happen as long as the leagues are in bed with the sportsbook, but there’s no going back with the huge money involved, and it’s better to have props monitored and regulated rather than move underground. Danny argues that there’s a solid case to outlaw “under” player props (19:00). 
 
Colin argues basketball is uniquely susceptible to corruption and match fixing due to its more individualistic nature, and why the team-centric, militaristic culture of the NFL would make it hard to pull off in football (28:00) . Danny argues that America is so addicted to sports that even if the Super Bowl was found to be rigged… people wouldn’t tune out. 
 
They discuss why the leagues have too much money on the line to allow everything to be “rigged” like many fans believe, and Colin explains why conspiracies about refs being in on it are overblown (39:00).
 
Colin revisits the lead story he had for The Herd that had to be shelved due to the gambling story breaking… Victor Wembanyama’s absolutely insane 40 point performance against the best frontline in the league and debate whether he’s already the best player in the league at 21 years old (59:00).
 
Finally, Danny brings up the story of a G-league player moving over to college basketball and they both agree… that doesn’t feel right (1:10:00).
