<p>Colin&rsquo;s joined by Danny Parkins, host of &ldquo;First Things First&rdquo; 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&rsquo;t applied equally to professional athletes based on their production &amp; talent&hellip; and Ivey just wasn&rsquo;t good enough on the court (3:00).&nbsp;</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&rsquo;ll never cut ties with him. They recap Tiger&rsquo;s history of surgeries and why it&rsquo;s likely he&rsquo;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&rsquo;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).&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, they preview and make their picks for the Final Four games between Uconn &amp; Illinois (32:30), and Arizona vs. Michigan (37:45) and discuss why this is one of the greatest Final Four&rsquo;s of all-time (42:00).&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;#Volume&nbsp;</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
