Bears Overperforming, Sam Darnold’s Turnaround, Favorite NFL Bets, World Series Is Must Watch TV Nov 07, 2025

Show notes

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).
