The Colin Cowherd Podcast

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” at FS1. They start with Jaden Ivey being waived by the Chicago Bulls for anti-gay comments he made on social media, and they argue that creating disruptions in the locker room can outweigh other personal issues, that the rules aren’t applied equally to professional athletes based on their production & talent… and Ivey just wasn’t good enough on the court (3:00).  They pivot to Tiger Woods crashing his car in another suspected DUI, and discuss why his value is so high to the PGA and sponsors that they’ll never cut ties with him. They recap Tiger’s history of surgeries and why it’s likely he’s developed a reliance on opioids to deal with chronic pain and that he probably should never be behind the wheel of a car (17:00). They react to the potential of the NFL using replacement referees after contract talks broke down. Colin argues that NFL officials overwhelmingly get calls right and paying full-time officials won’t make the product better, and that the only argument for full-time refs is the NFL has the money. Danny believes HD television with multiple slow-motion replays has been the cause for so much complaining about the refs (28:00).  Finally, they preview and make their picks for the Final Four games between Uconn & Illinois (32:30), and Arizona vs. Michigan (37:45) and discuss why this is one of the greatest Final Four’s of all-time (42:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” They start with the Lakers & the red hot play of Luka Doncic and debate whether the Lakers high powered offense can overcome their deficiencies on defense in the playoffs (4:00).

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. Colin kicks it off by explaining that his best indicator for the health of the economy is how full airline flights and how expensive the seats are, and Danny counters that if groceries or rent feel overly expensive that it’s a pretty sure sign of a rougher economy (2:30). They pivot to Bam Adebayo’s historical 83 point game for the Heat, and Colin argues that the fan blowback wouldn’t be nearly as pronounced if he was more of a flashy type of star player, but Danny argues HOW Bam got the record matters and how he got it didn’t sit right because the game stopped becoming basketball to get him extra chances (13:15).  They dive into how LeBron has been typecast as the guy that makes everything work regardless of his teammates… until now that he’s playing with Luka Doncic and they don’t gel (26:00).
