The Colin Cowherd Podcast

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL schedule! They start with a ridiculously easy schedule for the 49ers (3:30) and debate whether that gives Brock Purdy leverage in contract negotiations and whether Kyle Shannahan has been too involved with drafting (6:45).  They highlight the Chiefs schedule as being particularly brutal due to their weak offensive line and the elite pass rushes they’ll face  (10:30) and the pressure NFC North teams will face (15:30).  They dive into the reports that Caleb Williams debated forcing his way out of Chicago drafting him (27:00) and why he’ll be better set up for success with Ben Johnson as head coach (33:30). Finally, they discuss what the Steelers will do at quarterback if Aaron Rodgers decides to retire (34:45) and why that franchise has stagnated in recent years (38:00) (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the Knicks beating the Celtics in Game 5 to go up 3-1 and the NBA draft lottery. They start with a thrilling game 5 between the Knicks and Celtics and highlight a dominant performance by Jalen Brunson compared to a Celtics team that was completely out of rhythm outside of Jayson Tatum (4:00).  Colin points to Brunson landing with the Knicks as the key to him breaking out as a superstar (7:00).  Jason argues Brunson may be the best small guard in the league, and Colin puts him in a class with the best Knicks ever (9:15). They discuss the Celtics poor ball movement and shot selection as what led to them losing, but give huge props to Jayson Tatum for his incredible performance prior to going down with an injury (16:00). They break down the ripple effects of Tatum’s injury on the Celtics future and whether they might be forced to blow up an aging roster if Tatum is out for a year (19:15). Colin argues that the Knicks may be primed to be the dominant team in the East with the Celtics facing an uncertain future but Jason argues the Cavs and Pacers would like a word (22:00).  They pivot to the NBA draft lottery and the Mavericks landing the #1 overall pick despite long odds and the ability to draft Duke star Cooper Flagg, why the basketball gods just gave the Mavs possibly the greatest gift EVER and why the draft order couldn’t have gone better for the NBA (35:00). They look at the Spurs, Thunder and Rockets as potential landing spots for Giannis and point to the results of the draft making the west even stronger compared to the east (41:00). Finally, they point to NIL giving top prospects the ability to take the better marketing of playing for blue chip college programs, and why recognizable domestic talents will help the NBA (45:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1! They start with the first American ever being named Pope and Colin asks Nick for his “Pope power rankings” (4:00), why it’s incredibly exciting to have an American pope (7:15), and why even agnostic people can lean on faith in a higher power during difficult times (9:00). Colin calls out Nick for looking like the Shroud of Turin, and they highlight their doppelgangers (15:30). They pivot to the NBA and Colin’s right/wrong takes on Jayson Tatum and the Celtics (28:00), why it would be really great for the league if the Knicks won the series (34:00), and why the underdogs have been winning (36:00). Nick provides a lengthy professional poker analogy to explain what’s happening to the Celtics and their 3 point shooting (38:00) and Colin compares them to the Miami Dolphins (45:00). They discuss why Draymond Green is given more leeway on technical fouls and physical play than any player ever, but also highlight his incredible value as a defender (54:00).

They argue Shedeur was never given an honest evaluation and point to the transactional nature of sports journalism as part of the reason for it (1:10:00). Finally, they pour cold water on the idea of the Dallas Cowboys being the team to make it “work” with George Pickens (1:21:00). (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoffs action! They begin with why the Warriors age and experience was able to win out in a tough game 7 over the Rockets youth and inexperience (3:45), and how Steph Curry was able to find a way to make an impact despite shooting poorly in the first half (8:15). They preview the upcoming Wolves vs. Warriors series (16:00), and dissect a near perfect performance from the Pacers to upset the Cavs in Game 1 (26:45).

They explain why Russell Westbrook has become the “tone setter” for the Denver Nuggets (36:15) and debate whether Luka Doncic can be a “championship player” despite his weakness on the defensive end of the floor (41:00).

Then, joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to recap the full NFL Draft!

Colin reacts to Shedeur Sanders' fall in the NFL draft and the Cleveland Browns finally drafting him in the 5th round. He explains why Shedeur isn’t a good enough prospect to overcome the circus surrounding him, why his father Deion’s hubris hurt his draft stock, and why NFL teams don’t want a “celebrity quarterback” as their backup.  Timeline 4:00 Deion’s hubris didn’t help Shedeur’s draft stock 6:00 Shedeur wasn’t a good enough prospect to be making demands of NFL teams 7:45 “Quarterback Dad” is becoming “Pageant Mom” and hurts the kid 9:00 Multiple teams reported that Shedeur was bad in meetings and not engaged 10:30 Maturity and focus matter more for quarterbacks 13:45 Cleveland’s quarterback room is a mess 15:15 Shedeur is a good, not great prospect 17:00 Teams don’t want a “celebrity QB” as their backup (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s top takes from the NFL Draft! Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft! They start with the Jaguars giving up WAY too much to draft Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and believe unless he is a two-way pro bowler… the move isn’t worth it (2:30). They debate whether Cleveland reached for DT Mason Graham at #5 and believe there’s a real chance the Jags pick they received could be a top 6 pick (6:30). They react to the Raiders selecting RB Ashton Jeanty at #6 and point out that Geno Smith has played very well with a solid run game and play action, but John adds the caveat that Jeanty played against subpar competition in college (9:30). They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10 (12:15). They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense (23:00). The project that the Titans and Raiders will be the two teams that gain the most offensive juice (27:35), and Colin argues that the pick of Omarion Hampton makes the Chargers a “Jim Harbaugh football team” (30:00). Finally they react with pure SHOCK that the Falcons traded a future 1st to draft James Pierce Jr. (35:30)  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

They react to the Raiders selecting RB Ashton Jeanty at #6 and point out that Geno Smith has played very well with a solid run game and play action, but John adds the caveat that Jeanty played against subpar competition in college. They laud the Jets for passing on skill players to invest in their offensive line, and worry the Panthers selection of T-Mac at wide receiver is risky since he struggled with separation in college. They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10. They agree that the Cowboys were smart to bolster the offensive line by drafting Tyler Booker after Zach Martin retired, and express concern with the Dolphins pick of Kenneth Grant. Colin gives kudos to Colts GM Chris Ballard for staying patient and drafting Tyler Warren at #14, believes Warren could be one of the steals of the draft. They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense. They react to the surprise pick of the Broncos passing on offensive skill players to draft Texas CB Jahdae Barron and John explains why teams have put a premium on slot corners. They discuss Shedeur Sanders making it past the Steelers at #21 and they predict he could fall out of the first round entirely and Colin argues the last 10 picks of the round are more interesting than the first ten. The project that the Titans and Raiders will be the two teams that gain the most offensive juice, and Colin argues that the pick of Omarion Hampton makes the Chargers a “Jim Harbaugh football team” They talk about the massive crowd in attendance for the draft in Green Bay, why it’s one of the best sports cities in America despite its small size, and why the Packers drafting WR Matthew Golden is in response to injuries to Christian Watson. Colin argues the Commanders draft position puts them with a group of teams with far better rosters. They debate whether the Giants trading up to #25 to grab QB Jaxson Dart was a huge reach, and were SHOCKED the Falcons traded a future 1st to draft James Pierce Jr. They discuss the resurgence in the value of safeties after the Ravens draft S Malaki Starks from Georgia They point to the later teams selecting for need, including the Lions selecting a defensive tackle as a product of the slew of injuries they suffered on defense in 2024, and the Commanders beefing up their offensive line to protect Jayden Daniels. Colin expresses his surprise that Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round in a quarterback needy league, and they look at potential landing spots for the Colorado star and marvel at the number of picks made from schools in the SEC and Big Ten.

They start with the Warriors stealing game one on the road from the Rockets, and why their playoff experience was able to negate the Rockets athletic advantage (4:00). They break down why this was one of Steph Curry’s most impressive playoff performances (8:30), why Steve Kerr is incredible at finding the right “winning” players to surround their stars (11:30) and why Jimmy Butler is the perfect “get a bucket” guy they needed (13:30). They pivot to the Lakers laying an egg in game 1 against the Timberwolves and Colin criticizes LeBron, Luka and co for their lack of intensity and energy (25:30). They give kudos to the Wolves for throwing a great opening round punch, and contrast Ant Edwards improvement to Ja Morant’s regression (31:00). They move on to the Nuggets and why Denver’s reliance on Jokic to run the entire offense hamstrings his ability to be effective on defense, and Jason emphasizes why the Nuggets don’t have a choice to do it any other way (34:15). They point out the issues with the Clippers disjointed playmaking (36:15) and give credit to Russell Westbrook for the energy he brings to the floor(38:45) Colin highlights all the seasoned veterans on both squads and why it’s going to make for an incredible, physical series (48:00)!

Colin gives his instant reaction to Nuggets vs Clippers and Lakers vs Timberwolves! He starts with the Wolves physically bullying the Lakers and the Lakers being unable to adjust, but expects the Lakers to bounce back and play aggressively going forward in the series. He explains why the Wolves transition game overwhelmed the Lakers and why Anthony Edwards deserves a ton of credit for improving his game. Then he pivots to Nuggets/Clippers and weighs in on why playoff basketball is officiated differently and far more physical than the regular season. He details why this game was a perfect example of the full “Russell Westbrook” experience filled with ups and downs… but why Russ was a big reason the Nuggets were able to get the win. He explains why the Nuggets ability to get second chances and offensive rebounds was key to the Nuggets win, and why Kawhi Leonard is an incredible player…but not a leader, and why Westbrook was the story of the game. 3:00 Wolves bullied the Lakers physically 6:00 Knicks were able to find intensity to come back, but the Lakers couldn’t  8:30 Wolves killed the Lakers in transition 9:15 Julius Randle has a ceiling but plays with great energy 10:30 Ant Edwards deserves a ton of credit 19:30 Playoff basketball is officiated differently, they swallow the whistle 23:00 Westbrook was key for the Nuggets 27:00Jokic is 2nd best center Colin has ever seen 29:00 Kawhi Leonard is fantastic player, but not a leader 31:30 Westbrook was the difference maker (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s top takes of the week! First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”!

Colin’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1 They start with the breaking news of Stefon Diggs getting a massive contract with the Patriots.  Colin offers his theory that Pats coach Mike Vrabel was willing to overpay Diggs after he struggled coaching the Titans after A.J. Brown was traded, but Nick offers some pushback (3:30). They move to Russell Wilson signing with the Giants and whether that means the Giants are signaling their intention to pass on drafting Shedeur Sanders, whether they think he’ll be gone by pick #3 (9:30).  They talk about the mediocrity of the Steelers as a franchise for the past several years and why they need a fresh start without Mike Tomlin (25:00).
