This is Prime Cuts! The best of The Colin Cowherd Podcast. First it's Colin's top takes of the week (3:00), including why soon to be fired Lakers HC Frank Vogel is the least of the Lakers problems, the glaringly obvious reason why the Bears and Rams are headed in opposite directions, and why Bill Belichick has been willing to let players like JC Jackson walk.

Then, Ian O'Connor -- NY Post columnist and author of Coach K: The Rise and Reign of Mike Krzyzewski and Belichick -- (11:00) reacts to Coach K's post-game reaction to his disappointing Final Four loss to arch rival UNC, and why Tiger's 2019 Masters win was the best event Ian has ever covered in almost four decades.

Then, United States Men's Soccer Coach Gregg Berhalter (24:00) reveals how he got Christian Pulisic to buy in to his vision after the disastrous 2018 qualification failure, if this talented young team can win it all, if he's offended by the English media dismissing the USMNT as a Group B lightweight, and if he's concerned about too much pressure on Pulisic.

Finally, longtime Boston Globe sportswriter Bob Ryan (33:00) weighs in on the Tampa Bay Tom Brady transformation, how Belichick's arrogance has led to the Pats falling off, and if he needs to make the 'Patriot Way' less rigid to get better players.

When it comes to NFL quarterbacks, some have it and some don't. Nobody knows that better than gamblers. And sometimes a simple difference in signal-callers can tip the scales when it comes to choosing a side. So today, Action Network Chief Content Officer Chad Millman and his pro gambler sidekick Simon Hunter welcome on Volume kingpin Colin Cowherd to discuss the characteristics they most prize in an NFL QB, as each builds a Top 10 list of QBs they trust with their money.

Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen make the list easily... but what about recent Super Bowl champion Matt Stafford? Lamar Jackson? And Is Russell Wilson a slam dunk? They guys break this all down, plus the QBs that will NEVER make their respective lists, in a fun, free-flowing episode sure to ignite debate.

He also points out the number 1 problem facing the NBA right now.
