Colin Cowherd Podcast - HUGE NFL Free Agency Moves, SGA vs. Jokic For MVP? LeBron’s Spat With Stephen A. Smith
Colin starts with the flurry of breaking news from NFL free agency and starts with the news that star WR Davante Adams is joining the Rams and why it’s indicative of the Rams going all in to win a Super Bowl in the next two years with Matthew Stafford (3:00). Then, he reacts to Sam Darnold potentially landing with either the Steelers or Seahawks and why he’d be better served landing with the Seahawks (5:45). Colin explains why he would choose Darnold in his prime over an aging Aaron Rodgers if he was the GM in Seattle. He also addresses the rumors that Rodgers and Russell Wilson could end up with the New York Giants, and explains why an aging quarterback WON’T be able to save that franchise (9:00). Then, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all things NBA! They start with the Lakers falling on the road to the Celtics and why those teams could end up meeting in the NBA Finals (19:45). They discuss whether Luka Doncic could end up being a defensive liability and whether the move to LA could motivate and rejuvenate him after questions of his physical fitness were a major part of the Mavericks moving him (24:00). They break down why Jayson Tatum will never be a true “face of the league” due to both his personality and his lack of one true A+ trait on the court (28:00). They debate whether Nikola Jokic or SGA is more deserving of the MVP award and Colin argues that SGA has been more valuable despite Jokic being more productive (34:00). They marvel at the Warriors resurgence after the Jimmy Butler trade and try to identify who the toughest opponent would be for Golden State in the postseason (45:15). They discuss the recent spat between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith and Colin argues that Bronny is fair game for criticism as a professional athlete (50:30), but also lauds LeBron for the way he’s handled himself in sports, life and business despite being raised without a father (1:02:00).
