Best of the week on The Herd

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1. They start with the ongoing posturing over the location of the new Bears stadium and the potential threat of moving the stadium just over the border into northern Indiana, which Colin argues is ludicrous and the idea that Indiana taxpayers would fit the bill for a Chicago based team is nuts (2:00).  They debate how much time sportscasters should devote to the NBA during the regular season when fan interest isn’t very high, but both agree that the NBA playoffs are still one of the best events on the sports calendar (11:30). Colin argues that there have only been a few “faces” of the NBA throughout its history and discuss whether Wemby will become the next one (21:15). Colin revisits his take that Luka Doncic is just a better version of Carmelo Anthony and feels that the narrative has started to catch on, with Luka’s effort and lack of defense coming into focus nationally (28:00). Colin argues that it won’t be hard for the Lakers to move on from LeBron after the season because he hasn’t spent his career there, and Danny argues that LeBron means more to the league than the Lakers (32:30). Colin reacts to the new Fox Sports product, Colin Cowherd AI where an automated Colin answers sports questions and they discuss their long term view of AI and how it will impact society (47:00). They agree that they’re both “out” on the NFL Draft Combine and talk about which other sports events they just can’t get behind anymore with Danny pointing out regular season college hoops & shares a story about the time Jim Boeheim called in to his radio show (55:30).  Finally, they preview the highly touted upcoming NBA draft class prospects (1:07:00).

Where Colin was right and where he was wrong  Super Bowl champion Sam Darnold joins the show! Colin talks to him about his career turnaround, winning a Super Bowl and playing with star WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba The LeBron James-Luka Donic Lakers team simply isn't workingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jason answers mailbag questions from subscribers on topics including how the Los Angeles Lakers trio of Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves can best coexist on the court, Cade Cunningham's NBA playoff impact for the Detroit Pistons, dream NBA duos, what makes the San Antonio Spurs organizational culture so strong, and more.

First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf,  host of “Hoops Tonight”. They begin by evaluating Luka Doncic’s first year as a Laker and debate whether his volatility and lack of effort on defense makes him a poor emotional leader for the team (2:00). Jason argues Luka really ISN’T the leader of the team, but his high ceiling, lower floor style of play makes for more unpredictable results on a night-to-night basis. Colin dives into the massive stylistic differences between regular season & playoff basketball and they agree that the Lakers are really only built for the regular season (11:30).  They pivot to the Celtic’s “shoot 3’s and play your ass off defensively” strategy and debate how viable they’ll be in the playoffs and what to expect from the return of Jayson Tatum (17:30). Then, he’s  joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”. They start with the NFL Draft Combine & discuss the behind the scenes wheeling & dealing nature of the coaches and executives at the combine, and John’s experience speaking with legendary Seahawks GM John Schneider and what the defending champs will do with Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker (26:00).  They debate whether there’s a market for Kyler Murray to have a second act and what teams may be interested (31:15), and what positions the Bears will look to solidify in the draft (34:00).

Jason reacts to the San Antonio Spurs beating the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets beating the Boston Celtics as the two teams make impressive statements, potentially propelling them as title favorites ahead of the OKC Thunder. Then he breaks down five impressive breakout seasons for players that will be common household NBA names soon.
