Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk all things NFL!
They start with sharing their favorite summer vacation spots (3:30) before pivoting to the Vikings where Colin predicts J.J. McCarthy’s success might mirror Brock Purdy’s due to the high level of talent and coaching surrounding him (7:30). They highlight McCarthy having a similar situation at Michigan and why the best NFL quarterbacks tend to come from less prestigious programs (12:00).
They compare the AFC and NFC and argue that the top of the AFC is better, but the NFC is the deeper conference (15:45) and preview what the expectations should be for the Chicago Bears (17:15). Colin argues that the Commanders should pay Terry McLaurin (32:00), the Cowboys should trade Micah Parsons rather than pay him (39:00).
They predict major turmoil between the Bengals and Joe Burrow if they miss the playoffs after yet another ugly offseason contract squabble (48:00). They look back on the Hall of Fame career of Antonio Gates after his induction into Canton (58:00) and discuss why the NFL is the only league where late round and undrafted players regularly become stars (1:02:00).
Finally, Colin explains his passion for his newfound hobby… golf (1:18:00)!
