Colin Cowherd Podcast - Nick Wright Part...

iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
About this episode

Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They start with the most pressing question… how did Nick Wright break his arm??? (3:00)

They talk about the NBA’s dire need for a homegrown star in an era dominated by the internationals and debate whether Jayson Tatum or Anthony Edwards could fill that role (8:30)

They also talk about the reasons for why the popularity of stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has caused the popularity of women’s hoops to surpass that of the men’s game (15:00) and why it’s so critical for a league’s success to have true superstars (18:00)

Finally, they look ahead to the future and the inevitability of the NFL moving to an 18 game season and how that will allow the league to dominate the sports world for six straight months and how it will impact the other leagues (21:00)
