Colin reacts to the Vikings 27-24 comeback win over the Bears on Monday Night Football.

He begins with J.J. McCarthy’s rough start and strong finish and compares his highly emotional style to Baker Mayfield (5:00). He highlights Caleb Williams' strong start when the offense was scripted but devolved into inconsistency and sailed passes late (9:30).

He argues that the Vikings are the better franchise with better personnel and coaching and look like the Chiefs pre-Mahomes and can become dominant if they get the quarterback right (14:45).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the first week of the NFL season.

They start with the Packers drubbing the Lions, and highlight the lack of creativity of the Lions offense after losing OC Ben Johnson (3:00), and the immediate impact of Micah Parsons on the Packers defense (6:00). They laud Brock Purdy’s performance in the 49ers win over the Seahawks on the road but have serious questions about the 49ers ability to stay healthy (14:00).

They recap a wildly entertaining Steelers win over the Jets and analyze Aaron Rodgers’ efficient distribution in the Steelers offense (25:00) and an impressive performance from Justin Fields (32:00). They declare the Dolphins season as DONE after being blown out by the Colts (35:00) and argue the Colts could challenge for the AFC South title (38:00).

They break down the Raiders win over the Patriots and Colin argues that the Pats coaching staff may not trust Drake Maye (41:45) and the Raiders under Pete Carroll are going to win games in the tough AFC West (46:00). They discuss an ugly opening game for Bo Nix in a Broncos win that was powered by their league best pass rush and defense (55:45).

Colin argues that the Giants need to start Jaxson Dart after Russell Wilson couldn’t sustain drives against the Commanders and worries Brian Daboll could lose the locker room if he doesn’t make a change (1:03:00).

Finally, they look ahead to the Bears/Vikings Monday Night Football game and debate whether Caleb Williams could end up being a bust due to his personality and the “noise” that surrounds him (1:12:00).

Colin’s top takes of the week.

He begins with the Dallas Cowboys far exceeding his expectations in their season opening loss to the Eagles (3:00), then Colin is joined by college football guru Josh Pate to break down the first weekend of the college football season.

They discuss Arch Manning’s extremely shaky start for Texas against Ohio State and whether his lofty expectations entering the season were far too high (12:00), and debate whether Michigan’s Bryce Underwood is a generational talent at quarterback (15:45).

They move to UNC and whether Bill Belichick’s inability to recruit good personnel could lead to an underwhelming tenure at Chapel Hill (19:15).

Finally, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the ramifications of the Micah Parsons trade (32:00) and review the win totals for several NFL teams (49:15)

Colin reacts to the Eagles beating the Cowboys 24-20 to open the 2025 NFL season.

He highlights the brutal drops from Ceedee Lamb and argues that missing Micah Parson didn’t make the difference for Dallas. He explains how Saquon Barkley managed to make positive plays even in bad situations, and why it’s hard to make sweeping predictions after only one game but was pleasantly surprised by the Cowboys. Finally, he rips Jalen Carter for his stupid decision to spit at Dak Prescott resulting in his ejection.

They start with Arch Manning’s extremely shaky start for Texas against Ohio State and whether his lofty expectations entering the season were far too high (3:30). They preview Oklahoma vs Michigan and debate whether Michigan’s Bryce Underwood is a generational talent at quarterback (6:45).

They move to UNC and whether Bill Belichick’s inability to recruit good personnel could lead to an underwhelming tenure at Chapel Hill (10:15), and discuss whether Kalen DeBoer’s laid back style of coaching will work at a football crazed SEC school like Alabama, living in the shadow of Nick Saban(17:15).

They highlight the resurgence of the Florida schools, particularly Miami, and debate whether the Hurricanes could be a national title contender (31:00).

Finally, they discuss the outlook for USC and whether Lincoln Riley is the type of head coach that can build a winning culture, and not just be a great scheme guy (38:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to kick off the football season.

They start with Ohio State beating Texas, and their concerns with quarterback Arch Manning missing easy throws and showing a lack of elite arm strength (4:00). They recap Miami vs. Notre Dame and they argue that both teams look like top 10, playoff level teams (13:30).

They move to Florida State upsetting #8 Alabama and debate what went wrong for the Crimson Tide and whether head coach Kalen DeBoer’s more relaxed coaching style will work in the SEC (23:45).

They pivot to the NFL and discuss the Cowboys decision to trade star pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Packers and Colin argues it could be a win-win for both teams (33:45). John believes that the strong organizational culture could benefit Parsons, and Colin explains why he thinks Dallas could implode this season (40:00).

Finally, they review the betting lines for week 1 in the NFL and what they say about the 49ers, Seahawks, Bears, Vikings and more (52:15)!
