About this episode

Colin Cowherd discusses Aaron Rodgers' potential retirement, the Spurs' future, and the toughest NFL schedules with guests Ryen Russillo and John Middlekauff.

Colin’s top takes of the week. First, Colin Cowherd is joined by Ryen Russillo to discuss everything in sports & some fun non sports topics at the end. They start off reacting to the news that this season will be Aaron Rodgers' last in the NFL. They compare Rodgers' personality to Tom Brady's and discuss their careers. Next they hit a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Is that the only thing that can stop a San Antonio dynasty with Victor Wembanyama? They discuss the Spurs future as well.  Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to discuss the toughest NFL schedules, why international games are making travel even harder on teams, why the Bears schedule isn’t as difficult as advertised and why the expansion of the college football playoff will make the regular season better.
