Summary
Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First”!
They begin by discussing that hyperathletic stars rarely win titles and why that bodes better for SGA than Ant in the playoffs (4:00). Colin explains that NIL has fortified college hoops and infused the sport with overseas talent, and argues that OKC should use rather than trade their treasure trove of draft picks (11:00)… but Nick offers a word of caution about OKC becoming a dynasty (14:45).
They try to identify how many NBA players are more famous than Caitlin Clark, and it’s a short list…and Nick argues that die hard WNBA fans are confusing the popularity discussion with “best player” discussion… and Clark’s skill hasn’t lapped her popularity (24:00). Sticking with the fame discussion, they pivot to Baker Mayfield being far less popular and famous relative to the level of football he’s been playing (32:00).
They discuss several “enigma” quarterbacks, where they can’t decide whether they’re great or not…including Jordan Love, CJ Stroud and Justin Herbert (35:00). They highlight several “what-if” moments in NFL history and wonder if Herbert will be able to shake off his terrible playoff performances in the future (46:00).
They dive into how best to parse individual success in team sports, and debate whether USC removing the Notre Dame game from their schedule is worth breaking their longstanding rivalry and tradition (58:30).
Finally, they debate whether the Chiefs have replaced the Cowboys to become “America’s Team” (1:18:00), and Nick explains his experience “parachuting” into the world of professional poker (1:30:00).
