The best of this week's Colin Cowherd Podcast! First, Colin's top takes, including why things will only get worse for Big Ben this season, why boredom in Green Bay could be behind Aaron Rodgers' media rabbit ears and the biggest reason for Sam Darnold's Carolina turnaround (3:00). Then, FS1's First Things First co-host Nick Wright and Colin discuss the problem the Cowboys are facing with a declining Ezekiel Elliott, and why Belichick trading Brady is comparable to the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth (14:00). Also, longtime Dallas Cowboys writer - and host of The Doomsday Podcast - Matt Mosley tells Colin which Cowboys coach has become a major in-game liability (27:00), and finally, Action Network CCO Chad Millman tells Colin if he's sharp or square with his Cowboys/Eagles game of the week pick (30:00).
