Colin Cowherd Podcast - Nick Wright: Tat...

iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
About this episode

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

They start with the first American ever being named Pope and Colin asks Nick for his “Pope power rankings” (4:00), why it’s incredibly exciting to have an American pope (7:15), and why even agnostic people can lean on faith in a higher power during difficult times (9:00). Colin calls out Nick for looking like the Shroud of Turin, and they highlight their doppelgangers (15:30).

They pivot to the NBA and Colin’s right/wrong takes on Jayson Tatum and the Celtics (28:00), why it would be really great for the league if the Knicks won the series (34:00), and why the underdogs have been winning (36:00). Nick provides a lengthy professional poker analogy to explain what’s happening to the Celtics and their 3 point shooting (38:00) and Colin compares them to the Miami Dolphins (45:00).

They discuss why Draymond Green is given more leeway on technical fouls and physical play than any player ever, but also highlight his incredible value as a defender (54:00). They compare Draymond’s self awareness about the type of player he is to Shedeur Sanders lack of it. They argue Shedeur was never given an honest evaluation and point to the transactional nature of sports journalism as part of the reason for it (1:10:00).

Finally, they pour cold water on the idea of the Dallas Cowboys being the team to make it “work” with George Pickens (1:21:00).
