Show notes

Colin reacts to the Lions beating the 49ers in a shootout 40-34 on Monday Night Football!

He doubles down on his take that Brock Purdy is a “good, not great” quarterback after throwing two crucial interceptions to sink the 49ers, (4:00) and credits his huge statline to Kyle Shanahan scheming guys open (7:45). He examines the NFC playoff picture and explains why the playoffs are WIDE open and warns that the Lions could be in real trouble if they can’t secure the #1 seed in their upcoming game against the Vikings (10:30).

He pivots to the NBA and the lack of criticism of the league by the media. He argues that the league DESERVES criticism, needs major changes and has been coddled by friendly media for too long (13:30).

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Darnold Dazzles, Joe Burrow Is On FIRE, Big Pressure On Bills, Trade Kyler Murray? CFP Picks Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 17 NFL action!

They start with the Vikings hanging on to beat the Packers and Colin argues that Sam Darnold’s brilliant play has earned him a contract in the 50m+/yr range and Minnesota would be crazy not to give it to him (3:00). They debate whether the Patriots should look to make a coaching change now that they’ve found their quarterback or whether they should stay the course with Jerod Mayo (21:00).

They heap praise on Jim Harbaugh and highlight the incredible improvement shown by the Chargers in his first year as head coach (27:00) and they debate whether Bills head coach Sean McDermott should lose his job if they make a playoff exit prior to the AFC championship (36:15).

They discuss Aaron Rodgers taking not-so-subtle shots at Jets owner Woody Johnson and what the Jets should do at coach and quarterback in 2025 (41:45). They argue that Joe Burrow is playing quarterback better than anyone in the league after the Bengals beat the Broncos (52:30) and debate which wild card teams are capable of winning a playoff game (58:30).

They try to make sense of the incredibly up and down nature of the LA Rams (1:01:00), and Colin offers a Mea Culpa for spending so long defending Kyler Murray and wonders if the Cardinals could look to trade him in the offseason (1:05:30). They also address the disparity between the top and bottom teams in the league and the large number of really BAD teams at the bottom of the standings and debate whether it’s a one-off or a trend (1:17:00).

Finally, they pivot to college football’s top stars and try to project where players like Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward and Travis Hunter will land (1:22:00), and make their picks for the College Football Playoff games (1:30:00).

Colin Cowherd Podcast - INSTANT REACTION: Packers Steamroll Saints, The Packers UNIQUE Advantage, College Football Playoff Backlash Dec 24, 2024

Show notes

Colin gives his instant reaction to the Packers blowing out the Saints on Monday Night Football.

While he normally waits until AFTER the game to record the pod, Colin only needed until halftime to decide the Packers/Saints game was the least competitive game he’d seen all year (4:00). Instead, he dives deep into the Packers unique situation of not having an owner and why that’s proven to be a huge advantage when it comes to stability and management (7:30).

Finally, he addresses the public backlash to all the blowouts early in the College Football Playoff, why the blowouts were entirely predictable, and why blowouts will get worse as they expand the field of teams in the future (13:30).

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Jayden Daniels Is OROY, Vikings MUST Keep Darnold, 49ers Dilemma, College Football Playoff Blowouts Dec 23, 2024

Show notes

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the NFL and College Football Playoff action!

They start with Brock Purdy throwing another terrible interception late in the game against the Dolphins and why the 49ers would be crazy to offer him the bag (4:00). They contrast Purdy’s performance to another amazing game from Sam Darnold and agree the Vikings would be crazy to let him leave in free agency (10:00).

Despite the loss to the Lions, they offer some optimism for Bears fans for the future of Caleb Williams… if the Bears find the right head coach (23:30), and they debate whether the Lions high-flying offense can power them through the amount of injuries their defense has suffered (29:00).

They laud the Commanders and Jayden Daniels for making the turnaround from “laughing stock” to playoffs after their comeback win over the Eagles (31:00) and Michael Penix Jr. for looking pro-ready in his debut for the Falcons (38:45).

They debate whether the Rams are capable of winning a first round playoff game (45:45) and whether the Jets should consider Aaron Rodgers offer to take a pay cut to return next season (56:15). They credit Lamar Jackson for having one of the best games of his career in a huge divisional win over the Steelers and argue he should receive far more accolades than the criticism he currently receives (1:04:15).

They pivot to the first round of the College Football Playoff and why it wasn’t surprising to see so many blowouts (1:15:00). They rip Indiana for their gutless game plan in which they were just trying to avoid being embarrassed rather than win (1:22:00), and Colin changes his prediction for who ultimately hoists the trophy (1:25:30). Finally, they look ahead to the quarterfinal round and predict the winners (1:30:00).
