The show opens with the reported cancellation of the Monday Night Football doubleheader and what it says about the league’s scheduling priorities. From there, a look at the continued push into NFL flag football and how the league is expanding its reach at all levels of the game.

The episode wraps with a broader discussion on nepotism in football, examining how it shows up across coaching staffs and front offices, and whether it ultimately helps or hurts the league.

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” at FS1.
They start with Jaden Ivey being waived by the Chicago Bulls for anti-gay comments he made on social media, and they argue that creating disruptions in the locker room can outweigh other personal issues, that the rules aren’t applied equally to professional athletes based on their production & talent… and Ivey just wasn’t good enough on the court (3:00).
They pivot to Tiger Woods crashing his car in another suspected DUI, and discuss why his value is so high to the PGA and sponsors that they’ll never cut ties with him. They recap Tiger’s history of surgeries and why it’s likely he’s developed a reliance on opioids to deal with chronic pain and that he probably should never be behind the wheel of a car (17:00).
They react to the potential of the NFL using replacement referees after contract talks broke down. Colin argues that NFL officials overwhelmingly get calls right and paying full-time officials won’t make the product better, and that the only argument for full-time refs is the NFL has the money. Danny believes HD television with multiple slow-motion replays has been the cause for so much complaining about the refs (28:00).
Finally, they preview and make their picks for the Final Four games between Uconn & Illinois (32:30), and Arizona vs. Michigan (37:45) and discuss why this is one of the greatest Final Four’s of all-time (42:00).
