About this episode

On this episode of the Colin Cowherd Podcast, first, Fake Questions, Real Answers on which pro sports franchise Colin would buy and his favorite sports story this year. Then FS1's First Things First co-host Nick Wright discusses why he wasn't shocked that the Bucks lost Game 1 (9:00), why the Suns remind Colin of a top NFL team (13:00), how Chris Paul may have stopped the NBA's most dominant trend (15:00), the NBA great that reminds him of CP3 (16:00), why it's ridiculous that runner Sha'Carri Richardson has been barred from the Olympics (30:00), Nick recalls his own personal experience of dealing with a ridiculous rule (37:00), and whether Nick would give up his broadcasting career to become a pro poker player (45:00). 

Then, The Action Network Chief Content Officer Chad Millman discusses the cringeworthy moment when he cost poker legend Phil Ivey $750,000 (48:00), and the clever way to bet the NBA Finals (56:00).
