Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 4 NFL action

They start with the Chiefs blowing out the injury depleted Ravens and Colin argues that the Chiefs are in Lamar Jackson’s head, and that Chiefs DC Steve Spagnola may have Lamar figured out after years of facing him (3:30). They predict a major resurgence for the Chiefs offense as their wide receiving core returns to the field (9:00).

They move to the Giants beating the Chargers and highlight Jaxson Dart’s solid debut and Cam Skattebo bringing juice to the Giants run game (13:45). They discuss the worrying rash of injuries to the Chargers and debate whether Herbert and the run game can hold up after losing several starters (17:30).

They pivot to the Bears beating the Raiders in an ugly game after another brutal performance from Geno Smith and despite Ashton Jeanty finally breaking out and a game between two six win teams (26:00). Colin argues that the Eagles feel a bit like Kansas City where there’s something not quite right, yet they still managed to win ugly over the Bucs (33:00).

They recap the Rams beating the Colts and Colin argues the Colts are for REAL despite the loss and predicts they’ll win the AFC South (37:30). Colin calls the Steelers win over the Vikings their best in years, and their physicality was on full display today (52:45). They question the Vikings decision to let Sam Darnold walk in exchange for unproven rookie J.J. McCarthy as it’s clear the team is just a quarterback away (58:45).

They move to the Jags win over the 49ers in a game they tried to give the game away but Brock Purdy was even worse and the Niners struggled with both running the ball and injuries (1:03:30).

They pivot to college football and discuss Oregon vs. Penn State and Colin argues Dante Moore is the best quarterback in the country and that Drew Allar looked like the worst of the 4 QBs playing in the marquee games (PSU vs ORE & AL vs GA) (1:11:00). Colin recaps his experience at USC vs Illinois and explains why Illinois was clearly the better team (1:23:00).

Finally, they react to a crazy final round at the Ryder Cup and argue that the European team just has a better sense of cohesion, comradery and mental toughness than the American team (1:31:00).

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1.

They start with Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air before being reinstated and agree that Disney CEO Bob Iger made the right call (3:00), and that Kimmel’s popularity and likeability amongst California’s creative class added additional pressure on Iger (9:30). They also discuss the level of responsibility people with large platforms have to speak out on major political and news issues (14:00), and balancing talking about issues they find interesting versus what their audience wants to hear (25:30).

They pivot to baseball and Colin argues the most interesting teams and stars are playoff bound which is good for the business of MLB (35:00). They discuss Danny’s move from Chicago to New York and contrast and compare the sports and sports fans of those cities (38:30).

Colin highlights the huge advantage the Green Bay Packers have over the rest of the league by not having an impulsive, impatient billionaire owner that meddles with the team(49:00), but Danny argues they were fairly lucky with drafting quarterbacks (54:00).
