Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of &ldquo;First Things First&rdquo; on FS1. They start with the red-hot 24-1 Oklahoma City Thunder and why they are positioned to go on a 5+ year run of sustained success due to smart management & analytics rather than money like the Dodgers do in baseball (3:00). They debate whether the goal of parity is achievable and whether it&rsquo;s good for sports (9:30). They discuss why the influx of Asian fans really helps the MLB but the international stars in the NBA doesn&rsquo;t move the needle in the same way, and the varying importance of star players to their respective sports (13:00). They weigh in on Notre Dame&rsquo;s complaints about being left out of the college football playoff despite not being a member of a conference and why the whining is not surprising (27:30). They also discuss how the playoff & conference realignment&nbsp; has led to the death of bowl games and some great rivalries (34:00). They talk about why the &ldquo;influencer&rdquo; nature of Shedeur Sanders scared teams away from drafting him and why he&rsquo;s proven to be much better than GM&rsquo;s and scouts thought he&rsquo;d be, but Danny cautions that it&rsquo;s too soon to label him a franchise quarterback (40:30).&nbsp; Finally, they&nbsp; highlight the tremendous progress and improvement Caleb Williams has made in year two. Colin argues that his comp is a &ldquo;shorter Josh Allen&rdquo; and Danny counters with a &ldquo;young Aaron Rodgers&rdquo; (53:00) (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
