30 JUN 2025 · Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk all things NFL and LIV golf! They start by recapping John’s time filling in for JMac on The Herd and his take on the experience (3:30). They pivot to the NFL and debate whether Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons should be paid top dollar (6:45) and who will win the NFC North (11:15). They discuss the 49ers recent lack of draft success and whether Kyle Shanahan has had too much say in personnel decisions (16:00) and whether Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel could end up on the hot seat if the Dolphins struggle this season (28:00). Colin argues that the success of Sean McVay inspired a wave of teams hiring young coaches trying to land the “next McVay” (34:00), and they point out that no warm weather or dome team has ever become a dynasty (39:30). They shout out Sean Payton for the incredible turnaround made by the Denver Broncos and argue that the Broncos could be poised to win the AFC West on the strength of their defense (40:30). Finally, they discuss the crazy finish in the LIV golf tournament in Dallas, what to make of Patrick Reed (54:45), the disappearance of Brooks Koepka (1:00:00) and Rory McIlroy’s comments indicating he’s getting a bit burnt out by life as a professional golfer (1:05:00).
