Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to discuss why LeBron proved once again that he’s a better player & more of a winning player than Kevin Durant in the Lakers series win over the Rockets (3:00). They also break down why the Timberwolves have been underrated (12:00) and debate some potential offseason moves the Nuggets can make to get themselves back into title contention (15:00).

Then, 'First Things First' Co-Host Danny Parkins joins Colin to look ahead to the NFL schedule release and give their over/unders for the Lions, Bears, Packers and Chiefs (24:15).

Joaquin Buckley IS BACK with Daniel Cormier on the Check-In series, this time ahead of a MASSIVE FIGHT against Sean Brady that has the potential to propel Buck into the title fight conversation. Buckley doubles down on his comments this week on Islam Makhachev getting an easy title fight against Jack Della Maddalena, and explains why it's no shade to the champion. Joaquin says he'd ready for the title fight, but is also ready to fight Michael Morales, Carlos Prates, Ian Garry, and any top contender in the division. Buck also talks about connecting with Kamaru Usman after the loss he took to him, and learning from him to better complete his fight game. Hear Buckley give his take on his fight with Sean Brady, what he made of Prates' huge win last weekend, Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev's beef, and so much more! #Volume

On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff reacts to reports that Aaron Rodgers is expected to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers and is flying to Pittsburgh for the weekend. What does it mean for the Steelers’ outlook and why does this pairing continue to make sense?

John also discusses Netflix airing the Week 1 Thursday night matchup between the Rams and 49ers from Australia, another major step in the NFL’s evolving media landscape.

The conversation then shifts to the business side of the league, as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and billionaire 49ers minority owner Vinod Khosla are reportedly interested in Seahawks ownership. John breaks down what high-profile ownership groups could mean for the future of the franchise.

Plus, the Colts’ behind-the-scenes draft video gets rave reviews, and John explains why he thought it was absolutely badass. He also weighs in on why celebrity boxing matches—like Bob Menery vs. Johnny Manziel—can sometimes be more entertaining than UFC cards.

To wrap things up, Fugazi Friday returns with reactions to the Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel boat video and more stories from around the sports world.
