Colin’s top takes of the week. First, Colin is joined by Doug Gottlieb, men’s basketball coach at University of Wisconsin Green Bay They start by reacting to UConn’s last second win over Duke in the Elite 8 quarterfinals (3:30), break down the Big Ten’s dominance in the tournament  (12:30) and preview a stacked NBA draft class and debate who should be the top 5 lottery picks (16:30) Then he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” at FS1. They start with 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 (27:00). 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 (33:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
