Colin’s top takes of the week. First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

They start with the red-hot 24-1 Oklahoma City Thunder and why they are positioned to go on a 5+ year run of sustained success due to smart management & analytics rather than money like the Dodgers do in baseball (3:00). They debate whether the goal of parity is achievable and whether it’s good for sports (9:30).

They talk about why the “influencer” nature of Shedeur Sanders scared teams away from drafting him and why he’s proven to be much better than GM’s and scouts thought he’d be, but Danny cautions that it’s too soon to label him a franchise quarterback (13:00).

Finally, they highlight the tremendous progress and improvement Caleb Williams has made in year two. Colin argues that his comp is a “shorter Josh Allen” and Danny counters with a “young Aaron Rodgers” (26:00)

Then, Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to try and make sense of the lost season for the Ravens and the huge decline in play from Lamar Jackson (33:00), discuss the dominant nature of the LA Rams (38:15) and what to make of JJ McCarthy’s best game of the season.
