    Colin Cowherd Podcast - Steph Sensational As Warriors Steal Game 1, Lakers Lay An Egg, Nuggets/Clippers Is “Grown Up” Basketball

    Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoff action. They start with the Warriors stealing game one on the road from the Rockets, and why their playoff experience was able to negate the Rockets athletic advantage (4:00). They break down why this was one of Steph Curry’s most impressive playoff performances (8:30), why Steve Kerr is incredible at finding the right “winning” players to surround their stars (11:30) and why Jimmy Butler is the perfect “get a bucket” guy they needed (13:30). They pivot to the Lakers laying an egg in game 1 against the Timberwolves and Colin criticizes LeBron, Luka and co for their lack of intensity and energy (25:30). They give kudos to the Wolves for throwing a great opening round punch, and contrast Ant Edwards improvement to Ja Morant’s regression (31:00). They move on to the Nuggets and why Denver’s reliance on Jokic to run the entire offense hamstrings his ability to be effective on defense, and Jason emphasizes why the Nuggets don’t have a choice to do it any other way (34:15). They point out the issues with the Clippers disjointed playmaking (36:15) and give credit to Russell Westbrook for the energy he brings to the floor(38:45) Colin highlights all the seasoned veterans on both squads and why it’s going to make for an incredible, physical series (48:00)! Finally, they predict a couple series sweeps (56:00), Colin offers some optimism about the Orlando Magic, and looks at a Houston/Kevin Durant pairing as a potential match made in heaven (1:00:30).

    Colin Cowherd Podcast - NBA Playoff Reaction: Wolves BULLY Lakers, Nuggets Rally To Beat Clippers

    Colin gives his instant reaction to Nuggets vs Clippers and Lakers vs Timberwolves! He starts with the Wolves physically bullying the Lakers and the Lakers being unable to adjust, but expects the Lakers to bounce back and play aggressively going forward in the series. He explains why the Wolves transition game overwhelmed the Lakers and why Anthony Edwards deserves a ton of credit for improving his game. Then he pivots to Nuggets/Clippers and weighs in on why playoff basketball is officiated differently and far more physical than the regular season. He details why this game was a perfect example of the full “Russell Westbrook” experience filled with ups and downs… but why Russ was a big reason the Nuggets were able to get the win. He explains why the Nuggets ability to get second chances and offensive rebounds was key to the Nuggets win, and why Kawhi Leonard is an incredible player…but not a leader, and why Westbrook was the story of the game. 3:00 Wolves bullied the Lakers physically 6:00 Knicks were able to find intensity to come back, but the Lakers couldn’t  8:30 Wolves killed the Lakers in transition 9:15 Julius Randle has a ceiling but plays with great energy 10:30 Ant Edwards deserves a ton of credit 19:30 Playoff basketball is officiated differently, they swallow the whistle 23:00 Westbrook was key for the Nuggets 27:00Jokic is 2nd best center Colin has ever seen 29:00 Kawhi Leonard is fantastic player, but not a leader 31:30 Westbrook was the difference maker (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

    Colin Cowherd Podcast Prime Cuts- Take The Under On The Chiefs, You Can’t Compare NBA Eras, Weak 2025 NFL Draft Class

    Colin’s top takes of the week! First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”! They start with the draft evaluation for Shedeur Sanders and Colin argues that regardless of where he gets drafted, he’ll likely be the third best quarterback in his division and whether that analysis gets factored into his draft position (4:15). They dissect the Giants roster after signing Russell Wilson and whether it would make sense to pass on Shedeur and draft a different position of need (8:30). John explains why a “high floor” isn’t really a thing when it comes to drafting whereas “high ceiling” is VERY real (12:45).  Finally, they look at the over/under win totals and make their predictions for who will over/under perform their expectations in Vegas. (16:00). Then he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”!

    Colin Cowherd Podcast - Who Should Draft Shedeur? Best NFL Over/Under Win Totals, College Football Is Better Than Ever

    Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”! They start with the draft evaluation for Shedeur Sanders and Colin argues that regardless of where he gets drafted, he’ll likely be the third best quarterback in his division and whether that analysis gets factored into his draft position (4:15). They dissect the Giants roster after signing Russell Wilson and whether it would make sense to pass on Shedeur and draft a different position of need (8:30). John explains why a “high floor” isn’t really a thing when it comes to drafting whereas “high ceiling” is VERY real (12:45). They debate why teams missed on Brock Purdy in the draft, why there were signs early on that he was going to massively outperform his draft stock, and why intangibles really matter (16:00). They look at the over/under win totals and make their predictions for who will over/under perform their expectations in Vegas. Colin predicts the Chiefs will underperform, John predicts the 49ers will overperform, and that the Dolphins will implode (26:00). They also predict overperformance from the Titans, Patriots and Chargers (31:15). They pivot to college football and weigh in on the unorthodox pairing of Deion Sanders and Colorado, and the surprise of Deion being all in on the Buffs despite Shedeur moving on to the NFL (37:00).  They debate whether lower turnout in youth football will cause the NFL to become more like the NBA where it becomes a league of “have’s” and “have not’s” because of a diminished talent pool at lower levels, and why player mobility has transformed development (48:00).  Finally, Colin lauds college football becoming more professional in its model and why it’s been great for both the sport and fans (59:15).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

    Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”! They start with their takeaways from March Madness, why elite defense makes all the difference in the later rounds of the tournament, and why Cooper Flagg projects to be the next iteration of Jayson Tatum (3:30). They break down why college basketball is a far better money making and brand building opportunity for young basketball players compared to playing in the G-League (8:00).

They dissect the Lakers postseason chances and whether Austin Reeves improved play could power them to the finals (34:30).
