Summary
First, (3:00) Colin pushes back against Pac-12 pearl clutchers outraged over the latest high profile exodus of Oregon and Washington to the B1G.
Then, former Bears and Dolphins HC Dave Wannstedt joins Colin to discuss his takeaways from a visit to Bears training camp, what steps the Dolphins should take to limit Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion exposure, Vic Fangio’s impact on the Miami defense, if Sean Payton stepped over the line by publicly ripping Nathaniel Hackett, the best way to approach Week 1 as a HC, what set Hall of Fame inductee Zach Thomas apart, Kenny Pickett’s ceiling with the Steelers, how B1G fans are reacting to the addition of Pac-12 powerhouses.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody, and welcome in. To either a Sunday night or a Monday morning podcast, |
| 0:18.7 | Dave Wonstat was at Bear's Practice Wednesday, and I can't wait to talk about it. I want |
| 0:24.1 | to give you a story though. So as many of you know, last football season, I had Sean Payton joining |
| 0:32.7 | me four out of five Mondays. He was spectacular. And Sean and I got along great on the air off the |
| 0:40.5 | air, dinners, discussions. I think he trusted me. I certainly learned a lot from him. And as the |
| 0:49.2 | football season approached the Super Bowl near the end, he had asked me, I think I can share this |
| 0:57.8 | now. Hey, what, what's my market value? What should I be looking at here? He was really interested in |
| 1:03.4 | Fox. He liked Fox. He liked broadcasting. And he really enjoyed it. He liked living on the beach in |
| 1:10.3 | Los Angeles. He just loved it. He was all over town. He was really genuinely happy. And he was |
| 1:17.8 | really committed to it. He really cared about it. He made calls. He was terrific. And may still be |
| 1:23.5 | someday, but he was really committed and very focused. And then one day he wasn't because the Denver |
| 1:31.6 | Broncos offered him four and a half to five times more than Fox did. A man is as loyal as his |
| 1:39.9 | options as comedian Chris Rock once said. For those belly aching about USC UCLA Washington, Oregon, |
| 1:48.5 | leaving the pack 12. This is a conference that has continued to drop the ball, hired the wrong |
| 1:56.4 | people to run the conference, been slow to see stuff about the future of college sports that appears |
| 2:05.0 | obvious, sometimes stubborn nose in the air, a little too precious for their own good. And so the |
| 2:12.6 | Big 10 is a bigger, broader conference. It's a better conference. Smack dab in the middle of the |
| 2:19.6 | country with that mid Western work ethos, even though they produce significantly larger revenue |
| 2:26.2 | than the pack 12. They don't have their arrogance. And maybe it's because the Stanford Cal UCLA |
| 2:33.1 | excellence academically, historically, whatever it is. But the Big 10 is Big Boy stadiums sold out |
| 2:41.9 | stadiums, better TV contracts, more committed financially, more committed fan bases, more committed |
| 2:48.9 | boosters. That's where you have to go. What in the world has Cal ever done for the pack 12's |
