Colin’s top takes of the week!

First, Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk NFL!

They start by debating whether Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons should be paid top dollar (3:00) and who will win the NFC North (7:30).

They discuss the 49ers recent lack of draft success and whether Kyle Shanahan has had too much say in personnel decisions (12:15) and shout out Sean Payton for the incredible turnaround made by the Denver Broncos and argue that the Broncos could be poised to win the AFC West on the strength of their defense (18:45).

Then, Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “Breakfast Ball” on FS1!

They discuss the massive gap between the western and eastern conferences in the NBA and the reasons driving the disparity, (32:00) and debate whether the top player in the east (Giannis) can power the Bucks to a finals appearance with Jayson Tatum out (38:00). They also talk about why the teams that have traded star players for assets almost always lose the trade and caution the Bucks about trading Giannis.

They pivot to the NFL and the backlash to the Browns plan to build a domed stadium and debate whether the tradition of snow & bad weather games is worth keeping in a quarterback driven era of football (45:00).
