Final Four Preview, Tiger Woods Crashes Again, NFL Replacement Refs, Jaden Ivey Bounced By Bulls
<p>Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” at FS1.</p> <p>They start with Jaden Ivey being waived by the Chicago Bulls for anti-gay comments he made on social media, and they argue that creating disruptions in the locker room can outweigh other personal issues, that the rules aren’t applied equally to professional athletes based on their production & talent… and Ivey just wasn’t good enough on the court (3:00). </p> <p>They pivot to Tiger Woods crashing his car in another suspected DUI, and discuss why his value is so high to the PGA and sponsors that they’ll never cut ties with him. They recap Tiger’s history of surgeries and why it’s likely he’s developed a reliance on opioids to deal with chronic pain and that he probably should never be behind the wheel of a car (17:00).</p> <p>They react to the potential of the NFL using replacement referees after contract talks broke down. Colin argues that NFL officials overwhelmingly get calls right and paying full-time officials won’t make the product better, and that the only argument for full-time refs is the NFL has the money. Danny believes HD television with multiple slow-motion replays has been the cause for so much complaining about the refs (28:00). </p> <p>Finally, they preview and make their picks for the Final Four games between Uconn & Illinois (32:30), and Arizona vs. Michigan (37:45) and discuss why this is one of the greatest Final Four’s of all-time (42:00). </p> <p>(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)</p> <p>Follow<a href="https://twitter.com/ColinCowherd/header_photo"> Colin</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/TheVolumeSports"> The Volume</a> on Twitter for the latest content and updates!</p> <p> #Volume </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Bears Stadium Fight, Can Wemby Be The Face Of The NBA? Luka’s Liabilities, Colin As An AI
<p>Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1.</p> <p>They start with the ongoing posturing over the location of the new Bears stadium and the potential threat of moving the stadium just over the border into northern Indiana, which Colin argues is ludicrous and the idea that Indiana taxpayers would fit the bill for a Chicago based team is nuts (2:00). </p> <p>They debate how much time sportscasters should devote to the NBA during the regular season when fan interest isn’t very high, but both agree that the NBA playoffs are still one of the best events on the sports calendar (11:30). Colin argues that there have only been a few “faces” of the NBA throughout its history and discuss whether Wemby will become the next one (21:15).</p> <p>Colin revisits his take that Luka Doncic is just a better version of Carmelo Anthony and feels that the narrative has started to catch on, with Luka’s effort and lack of defense coming into focus nationally (28:00).

Prime Cuts - Lakers Are Limited, Bears Draft Strategy, Kyler’s 2nd Act? Celtics Impress
<p>First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”.</p> <p>They begin by evaluating Luka Doncic’s first year as a Laker and debate whether his volatility and lack of effort on defense makes him a poor emotional leader for the team (2:00). Jason argues Luka really ISN’T the leader of the team, but his high ceiling, lower floor style of play makes for more unpredictable results on a night-to-night basis. Colin dives into the massive stylistic differences between regular season & playoff basketball and they agree that the Lakers are really only built for the regular season (11:30). </p> <p>They pivot to the Celtic’s “shoot 3’s and play your ass off defensively” strategy and debate how viable they’ll be in the playoffs and what to expect from the return of Jayson Tatum (17:30).</p> <p>Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”.</p> <p>They start with the NFL Draft Combine & discuss the behind the scenes wheeling & dealing nature of the coaches and executives at the combine, and John’s experience speaking with legendary Seahawks GM John Schneider and what the defending champs will do with Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker (26:00). </p> <p>They debate whether there’s a market for Kyler Murray to have a second act and what teams may be interested (31:15), and what positions the Bears will look to solidify in the draft (34:00).</p> <p>(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)</p> <p>Follow<a href="https://twitter.com/ColinCowherd/header_photo"> Colin</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/TheVolumeSports"> The Volume</a> on Twitter for the latest content and updates!</p> <p> #Volume </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
NFL Draft Combine, Mendoza A Lock To Raiders At #1, Eagles Drama, Chiefs Rebuild?
<p>Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”.</p> <p>They start with the NFL Draft Combine & discuss the behind the scenes wheeling & dealing nature of the coaches and executives at the combine, and John’s experience speaking with legendary Seahawks GM John Schneider and what the defending champs will do with Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker (3:00). </p> <p>They move to the Chiefs and GM Brett Veach and the challenge of fixing the offensive line for Patrick Mahomes and discuss how much of a true “rebuild” the Chiefs need after missing the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era (5:45).</p> <p>They debate whether there’s a market for Kyler Murray to have a second act and what teams may be interested (9:45), and what positions the Bears will look to solidify in the draft (13:30).</p> <p>They pivot to the Eagles & discuss the rumors that Jalen Hurts isn’t particularly well liked in the locker room and John offers than despite noise on the outside… AJ Brown is very positively viewed by his teammates (24:00). </p> <p>They look ahead to the draft and Colin argues that the Cardinals should offer 3 first round picks to move up from #3 to #1 to draft Fernando Mendoza and John says that based on the combine chatter… Mendoza is a lock to the Raiders at #1 (28:30).</p> <p>They discuss why the made-for TV nature of the combine has made top prospects not want to participate and why the current combine process is probably on its last legs (34:30).</p> <p>Finally, Colin asks John about the most tasty rumors he heard at the combine and John offers up that it’s 50/50 that Giants GM Joe Schoen survives beyond the draft with John Harbaugh now there, and the surprised reaction to Sean Payton giving up play calling duties in Denver (37:30). </p> <p>(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)</p> <p>Follow<a href="https://twitter.com/ColinCowherd/header_photo"> Colin</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/TheVolumeSports"> The Volume</a> on Twitter for the latest content and updates!</p> <p> #Volume </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Colin says Drake Maye has nothing to hang his head about and lost to one of the best teams in the last decade… but that Drake wasn’t ready for this moment (31:30).</p> <p>They look ahead to the 2026 season and predict which teams will be back in postseason contention & who won’t, and they agree the Seahawks GM John Schneider has locked up his case for the Hall of Fame (37:45). </p> <p>Finally, Colin believes the ups and downs of Sam Darnold’s career will lead him to continue taking team friendly deals in a favorable situation (53:00), and they agree the Seahawks sale price just went up by a billion dollars (1:00:30). </p> <p>(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)</p> <p>Follow<a href="https://twitter.com/ColinCowherd/header_photo"> Colin</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/TheVolumeSports"> The Volume</a> on Twitter for the latest content and updates!</p> <p> #Volume </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
