Hour 1 - Aaron Rodgers

Colin’s top takes of the week! First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low”! They react to Rory McIlroy finally breaking the curse and winning The Masters to complete his career grand slam (2:30). They also discuss a very up and down round from Bryson DeChambeau (10:00) and the rivalry and bitterness between the PGA tour golfers and LIV tour golfers (17:00) Then, Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the play-in games and preview the NBA playoffs! They start with the Warriors surviving the Grizzlies in the play-in game, why their lack of size and supporting cast could prove to be their Achilles heel in the postseason, and why the Rockets could prove to be a tough matchup for Golden State (34:00). They pivot to Lakers vs. Timberwolves, why facing the Lakers is the worst case scenario for the Wolves, and why the trio of Luka, LeBron and Reeves will overwhelm Minnesota (45:00).  Finally, they debate whether Jokic is the greatest big to ever play the game (50:00).

See why DC thinks that Justin Gaethje or Paddy Pimblett should fight Makhachev next, and why a Paddy Pimblett vs. Dustin Poirier fight in New Orleans could be the PERFECT No. 1 contender fight. Don't miss Cormier peel back the curtain, as someone close to both Islam and Khabib, on why they don't want to fight Topuria next. #Volume #HerdSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
