Colin’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They begin with the NFL and shoot down the controversy surrounding the Chiefs getting help from the refs against the Bills (4:30). In true Nick Wright fashion, Nick provides a laundry list of Patrick Mahomes stats to support his argument that Mahomes will be a Mt. Rushmore ATHLETE, not just quarterback… and why the partnership between him and Andy Reid has produced greatness(7:15).

They discuss why adaptability was key for the Chiefs beating the Bills and predictability was the Bills downfall and they talk about the massive disadvantage for defensive minded head coaches in the modern NFL (12:45).

They trade their “Most Wrong NFL Takes” from this past season and both involved Nick Sirriani and the Eagles (27:00). They debate which elite quarterback from the AFC is least likely to ever MAKE a Super Bowl in the next decade in a conference flush with quarterback talent (34:30).

Colin floats his theory that outside of the NFL, other sports like baseball will require top talent to land in the large market cities in order to make games feel like “events” and keep up ratings and fan interest (39:00).

They go back to the Chiefs and why the talent on their full roster isn’t given enough credit for their talent (51:30), and Nick points out two draft day transactions where the Chiefs outmaneuvered the Bills (53:30). They review the list of recent Super Bowl winners and find one common denominator: incredibly aggressive general managers (57:00).

Finally, they discuss Colin’s upcoming move to Chicago and Nick’s newfound love of Broadway since moving to New York (59:00).
