Colin’s top takes of the week. First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. They start with Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame on the first ballot and Colin recaps all the cheating scandals the Patriots were involved in, and that the people claiming his first year exclusion is outrageous… are suffering from collective amnesia (3:00). They preview the Super Bowl & Colin predicts the young Seahawks roster could play tight under the bright lights and that the Pats experience might lead to him picking them to win, but Danny argues the Pats are a bit lucky to be there & not as dominant as Seattle (12:15). They debate where to rank Sam Darnold in the quarterback hierarchy if he wins the Super Bowl, and why Darnold’s redemption arc should provide hope for other young quarterbacks who landed in bad situations as rookies (19:30). Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”. They break down the Patriots win in a blizzard over the Broncos (29:45) and Colin argues that the Broncos would have won with Bo Nix. Finally, they break down the NFL coaching carousel & Mike McCarthy’s hire by the Steelers (41:15). (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
