3 & Out - Sam Darnold & Minnesota Vikings take down Indianapolis Colts & Joe Flacco on SNF Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

John returns to react to a loaded NFL Sunday, capped by Sam Darnold, Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings taking down Joe Flacco’s Indianapolis Colts 21-13. Middlekauff breaks down Sam Darnold’s impressive performance and wonders if there might be a quarterback controversy brewing in the Twin Cities between the former USC QB and first-round pick JJ McCarthy. Middlekauff goes off on how the position of quarterback is in a unique spot compared to the rest of the NFL’s skill players and details how Sam Darnold’s impressive performances could pose problems for former Michigan man JJ McCarthy when he returns from injury next season. Then, John gives Justin Jefferson the title as the NFL’s BEST Wide Receiver and explains why the former LSU national champion is at the peak of his powers leading a potent Vikings offense “built to win right now.” Next, John dives into the Detroit Lions dismantling Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. Middlekauff GOES OFF on Jordan Love and explains why pundits, himself included, might have anointed the Packers QB a bit too early, and compares him to legendary Green Bay QBs Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. Next, John blasts Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence and Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams after another disappointing performance from both highly-touted QBs. After, John gives his thoughts on Tom Brady’s broadcast restrictions and how it affects the product when the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB cannot criticize poor officiating. Then, John eviscerates Matt Eberflus and the Chicago Bears after getting destroyed by the Arizona Cardinals and salutes Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders after another divisional win. Finally, John recaps the rest of the action around the NFL.

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Niners Dominate Cowboys, Bears Coaching Fiasco, Eagles Soar, Jets Crash, Star-Studded World Series Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 8 NFL action!

They start with Sunday Night Football and the Niners holding off the Cowboys. They point the finger at Jerry Jones for signing bad contracts and mismanaging team personnel (7:00) and point out that Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott are very similar quarterbacks…with wildly different paychecks (15:00)

Then, they break down a crazy hail-mary finish between the Commanders and Bears and rip the Bears for their absolutely horrific offensive game plan and explain why they made a mistake drafting wide receiver Rome Odunze instead of drafting an offensive lineman (30:30).

They point to a total “systemic breakdown” for the Jets after their third straight loss since firing Robert Salah and highlight their defense getting progressively worse (40:00). They both agree Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson can’t function as an NFL quarterback and agree that if the Colts want to win they need to start Joe Flacco (55:00).

They call the Eagles win over the Bengals one of their most important, and call out Bengals ownership for being cheap and refusing to support Joe Burrow with a quality supporting cast and coach (01:09:00), and contrast that to the coaching job Sean Payton has done with the Broncos in order to get a subpar roster to a 5-3 start (01:17:00).

Finally, they discuss the huge ratings so far for the Yankees vs Dodgers World Series and point out to the star studded lineups for both teams as one of the drivers of huge fan interest (01:25:00)
