Colin's top takes of the week.

Colin reacts to the USMNT winning their round of 32 knockout game against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

He starts with the red card issued to star US striker Falarin Balogan and argues it was clearly the wrong call and purely incidental contact rather than a reckless tackle (3:30). He declares Malik Tillman’s free kick potentially the best free kick ever struck by the USMNT (6:00).

He pivots to the NBA and breaks down the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George plus picks. He believes the problem is Jaylen Brown thinking he’s the smartest man in every room and Brad Stevens wanted out of the contract (9:30). 

Then he’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1 and the “What’s Wright” podcast.

They react to two blockbuster NBA trades: the Heat trading for Giannis (18:00) and the Wolves trading for LaMelo Ball (33:00)

Compared to figuring out who you’re going to draft, your dog’s food should be a much easier
decision. DASH is a fresher, more transparent approach to dog food, made with grass-fed beef
and organic chicken from humanely raised animals. Most fresh dog food brands stop at “human-grade,” but DASH goes further by telling you where the protein comes from. There are no antibiotics, no added hormones, and no fillers — just clean protein you can feel good about serving.
