Colin’s top takes of the week!

First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, co-host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They start with the WNBA and their public compensation dispute with the players, and that despite losing money for years…why the league should pay the players as its trajectory soars in the Caitlin Clark era (3:30). They compare the ratings draw of Caitlin Clark games to other sports that rate similarly, and those are all billion dollar industries (6:00).

They discuss the major changes made to college football in recent years, and why the upside outweighs the downsides (12:15) and argue that parity in the NFl  is generally a myth. They point out the predictability of knowing which teams will win their divisions, and that even the “surprise” teams aren’t usually surprising (18:30). Finally, they debate the Bears prospects in an NFC North division that has seen major reshuffling (20:00)

Then, Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low” to debate how Scottie Scheffler stacks up to Tiger Woods after winning the Open Championship (28:30) and whether we could see Nick Saban returning to coaching… in the NFL (36:00)
