About this episode

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

They begin with the HUGE breaking news that Bill Belichick has signed a three year contract to coach football at the University of North Carolina and they express reservations with how this could affect his legacy and try to parse the reasons why he made the decision (4:00). They compare Belichick’s resume to Andy Reid’s to judge who will be considered greater in the long run (17:00).

They discuss the backlash from baseball purists towards MLB’s proposed “golden at-bat” rule when the sport has continually evolved over the years (30:00), and why “load management” and the over reliance on three pointers are going to hurt the popularity of the NBA if the league doesn’t make changes (37:00). They debate whether the emerging trend of “have’s and have not’s” in MLB is a problem (42:30), and whether college football needs to make changes to NIL and the transfer portal to avoid the same issue (54:00).

They talk about “noisy” star NFL wide receivers like Deebo Samuel and A.J. Brown, why the pendulum is swinging back towards the importance of star running backs and why huge contracts for receivers are headed for a correction (1:01:00).

Colin laments three rules NFL players don’t seem to know, why it drives him crazy and they debate whether the coach or player is at fault when mistakes happen (1:12:00). Finally, they discuss why parenting and coaching have shared qualities that lead to success and why despite at the height of his success Michael Jordan wasn’t happy (1:23:00).
