Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. They start with Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame on the first ballot and Colin recaps all the cheating scandals the Patriots were involved in, and that the people claiming his first year exclusion is outrageous… are suffering from collective amnesia (3:00). They debate whether his exclusion is outrageous as the national chatter would have you believe, how much credit Robert Kraft deserves for the Pats success (12:00), and why Tom Brady is probably still underrated despite his accolades (19:15). They discuss Mike McCarthy being hired by the Steelers and Colin argues that while the move wasn’t inspiring, it was safe… and that’s ok (31:00). Danny believes the time is now for Pittsburgh to clean house and try to secure a blue chip quarterback prospect, and Colin offers his theory as to why the Steelers refuse to bottom out (37:15).  They discuss the Lakers win over the Bulls in a game where LeBron James at 41 years old was still the best player on the floor in the first half & why it will be hard for him to hang it up (42:45).  They preview the Super Bowl & Colin predicts the young Seahawks roster could play tight under the bright lights and that the Pats experience might lead to him picking them to win, but Danny argues the Pats are a bit lucky to be there & not as dominant as Seattle (51:30). They debate where to rank Sam Darnold in the quarterback hierarchy if he wins the Super Bowl, and why Darnold’s redemption arc should provide hope for other young quarterbacks who landed in bad situations as rookies (58:00).  Finally, Colin recaps the experience of his first winter in Chicago and why living in a cold city leads to more passionate sports fanbases (1:04:30).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
