Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

Nick explains why the GIANTS won the draft because of a trade they weren’t able to make (2:00). They talk about why it’s painfully obvious that Tom Brady still wants to play football and break down why Brady’s competitive nature will make him a great broadcaster (11:00).

They wax philosophically about having a “competitive mentality” and how it drives them (14:30). Colin compares athletes and artists, and marvels at how athletes are unique in being able to continue to become even greater AFTER being paid, and why greatness in sports doesn’t make you a target of worship… it makes you a target. They list the biggest stars in sports and debate which are artists or athletes (21:30)

Finally, they talk about how Spencer Rattler hurt his draft stock based on how he was viewed in an old documentary, and why Shedeur Sanders talking trash online could hurt his stock as well (36:00).

Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They start by talking about why the NBA is still fantastic, just not in January (3:00) and why the NBA needed to start pivoting to the younger generation of stars sooner than they have (8:00). They push back on the narrative that the size of a team’s market doesn’t matter (11:45), why LeBron was an outlier in being the only true “face of the league” playing in a small market (14:00) and why this Knicks playoff run is huge for the league (23:00).

Nick explains why he can predict the Chiefs opponent in their home opener based on the size of their opponent’s brand and the narrative surrounding them (23:00). Colin offers his theory on why cap space isn’t as debilitating as advertised and why teams need to be confident in taking big swings, a la Atlanta drafting Michael Penix…but Nick pushes back(30:00).

Don’t forget to check back for part two of the conversation with Nick Wright!
