Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “Breakfast Ball” on FS1!
They start with the Chicago Bears and debate whether the Bears should consider making a trade offer for 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan in order to change the culture and optimize the development of #1 overall pick Caleb Williams (4:00).
They discuss the new Aaron Rodgers documentary and why it confirms Colin’s theory that Aaron’s success stemmed largely from his natural talent and not his willingness to “grind” like so many of the other greats (10:30).
They pivot to the recent social media obsession with UFO’s and give their takes as to what’s really behind it (17:30). They debate whether MLB’s proposed “Golden At Bat” rule is a good or bad idea (30:30) and whether the Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese rivalry can fuel WNBA ratings for years to come (40:00).
Finally, they talk about the social media exodus of users from X to Bluesky in the wake of the election (54:15) and the major lack of self-awareness in American media and politics (1:05:00).
