iHeartPodcasts and The Volume


100% unfiltered Colin. He delivers his no-holds-barred takes and instant reactions to the biggest stories in sports.


The Colin Cowherd Podcast

Colin’s top takes of the week.
 
First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft.
 
They begin by discussing the backlash to the Bears taking speedster Zayvian Johnson and Colin explains that if any coach picked him, it may not be a great pick…but with Ben Johnson as coach it can work (2:30). 
 
They move to the Rams & Colin argues that while their draft won’t grade well… outside of Ty Simpson, the Rams are drafting for the near term while they still have Matt Stafford and John believes Simpson wasn’t talented enough to justify the 13th pick (8:30) and Colin lauds the Cowboys for focusing on improving their defense as well by getting the steal of the draft in Caleb Downs (13:30). 
 
Then, Colin is joined by legendary sportswriter, commentator and the Director of Sports Journalism at Northwestern University, J.A. Adande to talk about his new sports podcast with Chuck Todd called “Dynastic”, which does deep dives into some of the most legendary franchises in sports history.
 
They begin with the LIV Tour looking like it’s going belly up and why it wasn’t treated seriously by the broadcast networks & sports media. They discuss the questionable ethics of LIV being funded by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund and the potential of that type of money flowing into the coffers of other American sports leagues (21:30). 
 
Finally, they discuss the longstanding MJ vs LeBron debate and compare the major differences in the eras they play in, and J.A. explains that there were two different eras of Michael Jordan and how Jordan eventually became trapped by his fame (28:30).

Prime Cuts - Cowboys Crush The Draft, Did Rams Reach For Simpson? The Myth Of Michael Jordan, LIV Golf Goes Belly Up

Colin is joined by legendary sportswriter, commentator and the Director of Sports Journalism at Northwestern University, J.A. Adande to talk about his new sports podcast with Chuck Todd called “Dynastic”, which does deep dives into some of the most legendary franchises in sports history.
 
They begin with the LIV Tour looking like it’s going belly up and why it wasn’t treated seriously by the broadcast networks & sports media. They discuss the questionable ethics of LIV being funded by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund and the potential of that type of money flowing into the coffers of other American sports leagues (3:30). 
 
They move to Dynastic choosing the 70s Steelers as one of their first dynasties to cover, and what J.A. learned about covering that team. J.A. explains how the Steelers were ahead of the curve on drafting from HBCUs and why being racially progressive was a huge reason for their success (10:30).
 
They pivot to the Dodgers and discuss the lasting legacy of Sonny Koufax despite his career being so short, and why international players have long been a key to the Dodgers success (16:00).
 
They discuss the longstanding MJ vs LeBron debate and compare the major differences in the eras they play in, and J.A. explains that there were two different eras of Michael Jordan and how Jordan eventually became trapped by his fame (25:00). 
 
They break down the massive changes to college sports in the NIL era and why it’s ultimately been a net positive for both the athletes and the fans and J.A. argues they should professionalize the relationship with player contracts (30:30).
 
Finally, they discuss the current state of sports journalism and J.A. emphasizes the distinction between sports journalism & sports media, and explains his worries about the future of the journalistic side of the business (36:00).

J.A. Adande On Steelers + Dodgers Dynasties, The Myth Of Michael Jordan, NIL, LIV Golf Crashes Out

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft.
 
Colin begins by arguing that GM Brett Veach of the Chiefs drafts predictably & he can’t figure out 49ers GM John Lynch, and John explains that Lynch doesn’t run the 49ers draft… head coach Kyle Shanahan does (3:00).
 
They discuss the backlash to the Bears taking speedster Zayvian Johnson and Colin explains that if any coach picked him, it may not be a great pick…but with Ben Johnson as coach it can work (9:00). 
 
They move to the Rams & Colin argues that while their draft won’t grade well… outside of Ty Simpson, the Rams are drafting for the near term while they still have Matt Stafford and John believes Simpson wasn’t talented enough to justify the 13th pick (15:00).
 
Colin believes the Raiders crushed the draft and Fernando Mendoza could change the trajectory of the franchise (25:00), and they discuss the impact of NIL creating less seasoned, older prospects with multiple years of high-end college football experience in the later rounds (28:30). 
 
They break down the Chiefs draft and why it made total sense for them to draft 3 defensive players with their three Top 40 picks (31:30), and Colin lauds the Cowboys for focusing on improving their defense as well by getting the steal of the draft in Caleb Downs (37:00). 
 
They debate whether Carson Beck will see the field for the Cardinals in his first season (45:00), and they each predict four teams that didn’t make the playoffs last season that will make the playoffs in 2026 (48:00).

Full NFL Draft Analysis & Reaction: Bears, Chiefs, Raiders, 49ers, Cowboys

Colin’s top takes of the week.
 
First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft.
 
They start with the Rams drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at pick #13 and why it was shocking for them to pick him so high after a limited sample size in college, but Colin argues if anyone can turn Simpson into a great quarterback…it’s Sean McVay (3:00).
 
Colin heaps praise on the Cowboys for drafting Caleb Downs and highlights the massive upgrades Dallas has made to their defense rather than paying Micah Parsons (10:30). They agree that the Bucs got great value in taking Reuben Bain at #15 after experts projected him as a top 10 pick (13:45). 
 
They discuss the Chiefs moving up to #6 to take cornerback Mansoor Delane and both agree they had no issues with the trade up to get a much cheaper replacement for Trent McDuffie (15:00). Colin argues that both New York teams did well with their combined 4 first round picks and doesn’t see any busts in the group (18:30). 
 
Then, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”
 
They discuss the controversy and backlash surrounding the NBA playoffs being paywalled behind streaming services and agree it’s no different than games being on cable TV (25:00) and what the league can do to address the epidemic of tanking (31:00)

Prime Cuts - NFL Draft Breakdown, Can The NBA Fix Tanking? Did Rams Reach For Ty Simpson?

Colin argues that both New York teams did well with their combined 4 first round picks and doesn’t see any busts in the group (23:00). 
 
They react to the Titans taking Ohio State WR Carnell Tate at #4, and John believes Tate was a massive reach and that Tate doesn’t have the elite upside that would justify such a high pick (26:00). They both believe that Kadyn Proctor is the most likely Top 15 pick to bust based on reports about his lack of work ethic (29:15). 
 
Colin predicts accurately that the Eagles would take USC wide receiver Makai Lemon after trading up, and says that it's the perfect move to patch the hole that will be left after the team trades AJ Brown (33:00). 
 
They discuss the overall quality of this first round draft class, note that it’s been very offensive line heavy and explain why you can’t go wrong drafting o-line in the first round (39:00). 
 
Finally, they discuss why the Big Ten is leaving the SEC in the dust when it comes to producing first round NFL talent and react live to the late first round picks for the Chargers, Cowboys & more (50:00+).

Colin starts with the Giants trading star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals.

He also offers suggestions on how the Giants should use their two first round picks (2:30).
 
Then, Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the NBA playoffs.
 
They start with the Lakers and Lebron James winning game 1 over the Rockets despite missing Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves and Colin highlights the Lakers defense showing up in a way that was missing during the regular season (12:00). They also discuss the potential impact on the series if/when Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic return from injury (23:00).
 
They pivot to the Celtics dominating the 76ers and Colin praises the Celtics organization for being able to retool their roster in one season and remain highly competitive. They point to great scouting and player development as the reason Boston has stayed great (29:00).
 
They move to the red hot Nuggets beating the Wolves in game 1 and Colin argues the trio of Jokic, Murray and Gordon are good enough to power the Nuggets to a title (34:45). 
 
Colin argues the Knicks have a flawed roster and are not a championship team and believes the Knicks were at their best when owner James Dolan was busy building The Sphere and not meddling with the team, and Jason argues they have almost no chance against Boston (43:00).
 
Finally, they discuss the new Jerry West documentary and Colin gives it two thumbs up (48:15) and they discuss why the NBA playoffs moving to streaming services was the correct move by the NBA, and debate the concerns over tanking and whether there’s anything the league can do about it (52:30).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low”.

Rory McIlroy Stories: The Masters Win, Historical Rank, Tiger Woods

They start with LeBron’s comments disparaging playing in Memphis, and they agree that LeBron is probably onto something if he struck a nerve to this degree and laud him for being authentic (3:00). Colin argues the Lakers game against OKC where Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves got hurt was about as disastrous of a regular season game there has ever been in the month of April, but the criticism of JJ Reddick is overblown (8:15).
