Colin Cowherd Podcast - Stafford To Giants? Bills Should Trade For Garrett, NFL Combine Preview, Is Streaming Bad For Sports? Travis Hunter Should Play CB Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”!

They start with breaking down the news that ESPN is dumping MLB, and why the added sense of patriotism made the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey tournament such a huge success (4:00). They also debate which sports are the “must haves” for the TV networks (13:30).

They pivot to the NFL and float the idea of the Rams and Giants flipping first round picks in exchange for Matthew Stafford, discuss whether Stafford is worth the Giants #3 overall pick and caution Stafford against negotiating too hard and ending up in New York (16:00).

They debate which teams will be in hot pursuit of Sam Darnold and which landing spots would be the best fit (32:00). They preview the NFL Draft combine and react to the news that quarterback Shedeur Sanders won’t attend (34:30). They talk about the recent trend of some NFL teams not even attending the combine and why there’s real value in attending in person (37:15).

Colin predicts that Travis Hunter could end up underachieving in the NFL relative to his projections, and they explain why he’d be best served focusing on being a top cornerback instead of receiver (39:45).

They advocate for the Bills to go all-in and trade two first round picks for Myles Garrett to try to get over the hump and into the Super Bowl (44:15).

Colin floats his theory that after football season ends, the only sports that are “must see” are huge events, and Americans pivot their viewing habits to streaming services, and John floats his theory that the NFL is working to build international audiences in order to sell to streamers (53:45). They also break down why the influx of sports to the streaming services has made watching games so much harder for fans (1:05:00).
