USC is 2-0 and hasn't been tested, so Colin goes looking for what's real: NFL bodies on both lines, four freshmen starting, and a quarterback in Jayden Maiava who's played his way into first-round talk. His verdict is a top-ten team with a schedule that still decides everything. Along the way: why college football has no leadership and never will, what the WNBA's commissioner shakeup says about the same problem, why Darian Mensah is now the best quarterback in the country, and why Lane Kiffin's LSU noise is going to backfire.  Timeline: 0:00  USC 39-0, and college football's leadership problem 3:17  The fix nobody will make: kill the non-conference season 6:41  Bowman, Mosley, Dixon-Wyatt and the freshman wave 10:26 Ten freshmen, no more redshirts, and Maiava's rise 13:38 The Big Ten gauntlet: good team or great one? 16:16 Darian Mensah is the best quarterback in the country 18:36 Lane Kiffin, LSU, and why noise breaks football teams 22:31 A top-eight job that doesn't need the shtick (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

David Ross and Anthony Rizzo are BACK for Episode 4 of Ross & Rizzo Unfiltered! The guys recap a picture perfect weekend from NL MVP front runner Pete Crow-Armstrong as he hit three home runs on Saturday in the Chicago Cubs’ win over the Cincinnati Reds, and followed that up with two more HRs on Sunday Night Baseball with Rizzo on the call alongside Reds legend Joey Votto. The Cubs continued the hot hitting into Monday where they put 17 runs on the board in the opening game in their crucial series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs hit a franchise record nine home runs in the game, and ended August by setting an MLB record with 62 HRs as a team in the month. The guys also react to Ketel Marte making his RETURN for the Arizona Diamondbacks after being placed on the reserved list, followed by a brief stint on the IL, as well as react to Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer turning back the clock and becoming only the second pitcher in MLB history to have a 10 strikeout game, while only allowing one hit at 42 years old, joining Nolan Ryan. The New York Yankees took three out of four from the Boston Red Sox over the weekend, but it didn’t go without any drama as Jazz Chisholm stole two bases late in a game on Sunday when the Yankees already had the game in hand, leaving the Red Sox announcers to call out Jazz for breaking one of baseball’s “unwritten rules,” and saying that they should throw at the next Yankees hitter to come to the plate. After reacting to Colton Cowser of the Baltimore Orioles making a game-winning play to rob the Colorado Rockies of a walk-off HR the guys answer some fan mailbag questions. Rizzo tells a HILARIOUS story about squashing the BEEF between him and Aroldis Chapman after Rizzo charged the Reds dugout to fight Chapman before he was traded to the Cubs and ultimately became one of Rizzo’s favorite teammates. Rossy talks about the art of tipping pitches, and how hitters are looking for every advantage they can find at the plate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everybody spent the weekend dunking on the empty seats at the Coliseum. Colin isn't buying the outrage — and his defense of USC isn't really a defense, it's a theory of American sports geography. Big cities belong to pro teams. Mid-sized cities belong to college. Small towns belong to Friday nights. LA has been paying that tax since the Rams and Chargers moved in, and USC already conceded the point when it shrank the building and added suites. It's not an excuse, it's a reason. Then the part the attendance story buried: true freshman Trent Mosley looked like a first-team All-American in his first college game, and Lincoln Riley emptied the bench on purpose, because September is for getting a very young roster ready for Oregon, Washington, Penn State, Ohio State and Indiana. Colin also explains why he thinks USC, Ohio State and Texas all have schedules too brutal to survive, why Notre Dame and Miami is his national title call — twice — and why he'd take the Longhorns at home against the Buckeyes. Plus NFL Week 1: the Colts as a live home dog, why Jacksonville could bury Cleveland, whether Denver's 14-win magic regresses, and why Goodell's London talk is a stadium-leverage bat signal, not a real plan.

Alfredo Brown, Derek Brown and Andrew Erickson break down their six favorite must-draft targets — players they’re willing to take ahead of ADP because they simply don’t want to miss out on them. The guys start with Chase Brown, who could have legitimate top-three RB upside in Cincinnati, before diving into Jalen Waddle and why his move to Denver could unlock a much bigger fantasy season. Then it’s time for Kenneth Walker, a player the guys believe could be one of the biggest league-winning picks of the 2026 fantasy football draft. They also identify three players outside the top 75 who could provide enormous value: Jonathan Brooks, Carnell Tate and Malik Willis. If you're preparing for your 2026 fantasy football draft, these are the players to know, especially if you're looking for targets who can outperform their ADP.

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on The Volume. They start with the Browns & the stark contrast between Shedeur Sanders having an affable sideline interview and Deshaun Watson’s disaster of a press conference, and they agree that the Browns should start Shedeur (2:00). They also agree the Brown’s deal for Watson is the worst in league history (13:00). They move to JJ McCarthy’s disastrous performance in the Vikings second preseason game and Colin believes that if McCarthy can’t succeed with Kevin O’Connell… he isn’t going to succeed (14:30). They also revisit past quarterback draft classes and Colin finds that only 10% of them are franchise guys… showing the NFL may have a development problem with quarterbacks (21:30). They pivot to college football and the story of Dae’Quan Wright going from the Cleveland Browns back to LSU as proof that the NCAA is diminishing in power and keeps losing in court (30:00). They poke holes in the NFL Top 100 and the Athletic’s Top 25 Players Under 25, and Colin marvels at the Seahawks being overlooked as a potential back-to-back champion (40:00).  They react to Joe Burrow’s comment about being tired of talking about “next year” and Colin argues that the Burrow could be burning out while languishing in Cincinnati, and that he shouldn’t sign with them again… but John offers some defense of the Bengals (55:00). Finally, Colin highlights all the amazing undrafted players who have popped in the preseason and marvels at the amount of football talent in America (1:04:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on The Volume. They start with Colin attending the Bears preseason win over the Browns and offer their biggest questions surrounding the Bears in Caleb Williams second season under Ben Johnson (2:00). They move to Ty Simpson having a great debut for the Rams in his first preseason game and Colin argues that young quarterbacks ending up with head coach like Sean McVay is like hitting the lottery, and that the Rams weren’t crazy to spend a first round pick on a quarterback while Matt Stafford is still the starter (8:00). They pivot to the 49ers and the highlight trend of Christian McCaffrey getting injured the year after leading the league in touches… which he did last season (16:30).  They also wonder whether Giants QB Jaxson Dart will stay upright after getting smoked during their first preseason game after getting beat up last year (24L15). Colin argues that Fernando Mendoza’s intangibles and work ethic are going to further elevate the Raiders #1 overall pick (32:00).  They wonder who gave Jayden Daniels the terrible advice to send a cease and desist to LSU over his former #5 going to another player (40:00) . They also laud Sam Darnold for becoming the leader of the Seahawks (48:00) and explain why buying the Seahawks may have been the best franchise purchase years (1:00:30).

On this episode of 3 & Out, John is back from the road, coming to you live from a Marriott couch  and he starts by giving Jerry Jones credit, which he acknowledges is not a sentence people are used to hearing. With the Cowboys extending Quinnen Williams (00:56), John walks through the full accounting of the Micah Parsons trade: Dallas wasn't one player away, they were three or four guys away, and once Dak and CeeDee were paid, signing Parsons would have made them a four-man team on a 53-man roster. Add up Williams' guarantees plus the two rookies they drafted with the return — Caleb Downs and Malachai Lawrence — and it lands within a rounding error of Parsons' own deal. Then he gets to Jeff Hafley and the Miami Dolphins tackling to the ground in camp (07:45), which in 2026 is about as jarring as seeing a guy light a cigarette. Miami can't manufacture a December trip to Buffalo in 84-degree sunshine, so the only lever a staff has is mandated physicality — and John connects it to his own father drawing a line in the sand and putting him on a Sacramento-area ranch every summer from ninth grade on. He also finds the one sliver of optimism in losing a top-ten left tackle (16:07): at least it happened in August, when you still have a month to canvass the league. Then the Bills' new stadium backlash (19:00) and why internet comment sections are a separate reality from the real world, and Dad Diaries (22:19) — a Friday night of tequila in Newport Beach that coincided, unfortunately, with the worst night of sleep his wife has ever had. Then it's a full mailbag (27:34). Was the Cousins–Crosby fallout actually coordinated between the players and Klint Kubiak (27:34)? Could Anthony Richardson be a reclamation project in Baltimore — and how did the Colts let his trade value hit zero (30:22)? Should recovery peptides be legal in the NFL, and where's the line between recovery and steroids (33:32)? Bill Barnwell's all-decade team and why John thinks it's Mahomes over Josh Allen, plus why building an all-decade team halfway through the decade is a fool's errand (35:47). A high school sports administrator asks about transfer and eligibility rules, which sends John into holding eighth graders back for athletics and the Danny Almonte energy creeping into youth sports (40:47). Whether Odell Beckham Jr. can stick on a roster without playing special teams (46:11), a defense of Saquon Barkley's hands (47:59), the Chiefs' wide receiver room and whether a training camp trade is coming (49:10), his actual gambling philosophy and the two parlays that keep him coming back (52:10), and finally Ja'Lynn Polk retiring two years after going 37th overall — and why the Patriots' draft record at receiver is a reminder that you're evaluating humans, not widgets (56:44).

On this episode of 3 & Out, John is pumped with football officially back. He opens on Carson Beck's Hall of Fame Game debut (01:46) and why a third-round quarterback's path is fundamentally different from a first-rounder's: you're not a five-star on scholarship, you're a backup until proven otherwise, and your preseason tape is your résumé.He likes the landing spot for Beck and explains why guys like Chase Daniel built 14-year careers almost entirely on August film. From there, he breaks down the 2026 Hall of Fame class (11:09) — Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly, Adam Vinatieri which John argues may be the highest-character group Canton has ever enshrined at once, plus a sober note on Roger Craig's dementia diagnosis and the taped acceptance. Teddy Bridgewater's retirement (16:34) becomes John's case against the Lions, the one thing he thinks Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have done poorly while otherwise resurrecting the franchise. Investing everything in Jared Goff without ever churning cheap arms behind him is a portfolio with no diversification — and he contrasts it with the Packers' Ron Wolf philosophy and the Eagles taking a Day 3 quarterback nearly every single year. He gets into the Colts hyping Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard apparently beating out Anthony Richardson (24:53), why training camp praise from famous teammates should be discounted (27:54) with a detour into why Saban and Belichick were at their best after losses and the Cowboys (31:04), where he's bullish on the roster but not on Brian Schottenheimer's Super Bowl talk. Predictions on the Saints, Cowboys and Texans (34:31), Kyle Shanahan's concussion protocol and a rant about cross-country preseason travel (35:14), and the injury board (36:19). He closes with the Kirk Cousins–Maxx Crosby scuffle and why Klint Kubiak handled it perfectly (41:16), the compounding advantage of growing up in a football family (42:35), and a Newport Beach staycation that turned into a $60 million ocean-view real estate rant (44:11).

They pivot to the controversy surrounding Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham and the league becoming embroiled in the culture wars and both agree that the WNBA has outgrown the leadership of commissioner Cathy Engelbert (10:30). Colin argues that just because Caitlin Clark stays out of the political fray doesn’t mean that her and Cunningham can’t be great teammates or friends (17:15).

The Fantasy Pros crew is planting their flags on nine players they simply don't want to miss out on, even if it means taking them earlier than their current ADP. Alfredo Brown, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Derek Brown go round by round through their favorite targets, starting with Zay Flowers, Javonte Williams, and DeVonta Smith in the early rounds. Then they get into some of their favorite middle-round swings, including Jameson Williams, Christian Watson, and Josh Downs. And when it comes to the later rounds, there are plenty of upside bets to consider. Kyler Murray, Stefon Diggs, and Tyler Shough all make the list, with the guys explaining why they think each player could significantly outperform where they're currently being drafted. If you're getting ready for your 2026 fantasy football drafts, these are the players the guys keep finding themselves clicking on — and the ones they don't want to leave the draft without.

Fantasy football projections can uncover league-winning value—but they can also expose players being overvalued in drafts. In today's episode, Tera Roberts, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Jake Ciely break down eight players whose FantasyPros projections are significantly higher than their current Half-PPR ADP, helping you identify the biggest values before your 2026 fantasy football draft. The crew debates whether Josh Jacobs is still an RB1 despite injury concerns, why Emeka Egbuka could be one of the best wide receiver values in fantasy football, and whether Rashee Rice's lofty projection is too optimistic. They also dive into Ashton Jeanty's polarizing RB1 outlook, Rome Odunze's role in Chicago, Harold Fannin Jr.'s breakout potential, Tyler Shough's fantasy ceiling, and why Quentin Johnston could surprise in Mike McDaniel's new Chargers offense. If you're preparing for redraft, best ball, or home leagues, this episode will help you identify players whose projections suggest they're being drafted too late.
