The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Colin Cowherd places Victor Wembanyama in the same category as Shohei Ohtani – athletes who’s greatness is transcending their sport. Colin explains why Wembanyama is on a path to all-time greatness despite being just 22 years old.

He discusses Fernando Mendoza’s pro day performance and why it’s clear he has both tangibles and the intangibles to be a franchise QB in the NFL.

Plus, 16-year NBA veteran Dell Curry joins the show to talk about getting his jersey retired, his son Steph Curry revolutionizing basketball and why he hates Colin’s idea to change the 3 point line.

On this episode, the guys break down the latest Philadelphia Eagles storyline centered around Jalen Hurts and what it could mean for the team heading into the season.

The conversation then shifts to the running back market, which appears to be on the rise again, and how shifting value at the position could impact roster building across the NFL.

To close things out, the guys react to the viral “NFL Coaches Day Drinking” storyline and weigh in on one of the more entertaining off-field moments around the league.

From major headlines to league-wide trends, it’s all covered in this episode.

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).

Fat Joe and Jadakiss sit down with Fetty Wap, who pulls up to Joe and Jada fresh out of a four-year bid with a new team and a new album ‘Zavier’ that dropped everywhere on March 27th. Fetty breaks down what it took to get his mind right and get back to the Fetty that took the world by storm with his debut album in 2015. Joe makes the case that Fetty is on the level of Nelly and 50 Cent and should be credited with creating his own wave of hip hop. Fetty plays two new records live on the show, including 'I Remember' featuring G Herbo, a raw look back at the come up, the money, and the people who weren't there when it mattered.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba just became the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history at $42.15M per year—but the real story is how the Seattle Seahawks made it work.

Richard Sherman breaks down why the deal is effectively closer to $32M annually, how John Schneider cleared cap space by moving on from DK Metcalf, Kenneth Walker III, Boye Mafe, and Coby Bryant, and what it means for paying stars like Devon Witherspoon next. What happens when a “slot receiver” becomes Offensive Player of the Year and a Super Bowl champion? Sherman explains why expectations change—and why JSN’s mindset (“What’s better than one Super Bowl? Two”) justifies the price. 

Plus, why role players like Jake Bobo still matter in a star-heavy locker room, how Mike Macdonald’s system and Sam Darnold’s playoff form give Seattle real dynasty potential, and why getting ahead of the market with Witherspoon could be the next move. We also break down the San Francisco 49ers’ cap strategy with Trent Williams, why this is more about flexibility than conflict, and how they’re trying to avoid future dead money. 

Then: Team USA flag football dominates NFL talent—why it’s a completely different game, which NFL players could actually thrive in the Olympics, and what Odell Beckham Jr. still brings as a veteran option.

Finally, Sherman reacts to his Emmy nomination.

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”

They start with the Lakers & the red hot play of Luka Doncic and debate whether the Lakers high powered offense can overcome their deficiencies on defense in the playoffs (4:00). Colin argues that under JJ Reddick, the Lakers now play in a highly motivated and intentional way and compliment Luka & LeBron (11:30), and Jason believes that LeBron has been uniquely focused in pursuit of a fifth ring (17:00).

Then, Colin is joined by MLB legend David Ross to discuss the launch of his new podcast “Loveable Reunion” with Anthony Rizzo on The Volume.

They start with the 10th anniversary of the Cubs historic 2016 World Series win and why he and Rizzo wanted to launch a podcast to revisit their World Series run (23:00). They discuss the 108 year title drought for the Cubs and the pressure that comes with the entire country rooting for them to break the curse (28:15).

They move to the final game of the Cubs World Series Win and talk about navigating a tense final three outs to finally achieve that “we did it” moment (35:30) and Colin asks what that championship means to David after a decade to reflect (38:30).

Fat Joe and Jadakiss sit down with their brothers Styles P and Sheek Louch for a full LOX reunion on the Joe and Jada set. The guys talk about what's kept the group untouchable for decades, with no exec ever coming between them and no outside noise ever getting in. The conversation goes deep on the passing of Oliver “Power” Grant from Wu-Tang, K-Slay's irreplaceable role in hip hop culture, and how losing people in your circle hits differently as you get older. Styles P talks about his health businesses, being both plant-based and anti-glizzy, and why it’s important to know where your food comes from. Plus, Joe clowns a crew member's loafer-sneaker hybrid for the better part of ten minutes, they discuss Bad Bunny's Super Bowl set and the politics blocking his film in Puerto Rico, and Jada insists that Styles and Sheek “perhaps” hear Joe’s famous Iron Sheikh story. Styles and Sheek also preview new music, playing two records live in the studio.

Joe and Jada is now STREAMING ON NETFLIX!
