It feels like a way more genuine version of himself - like talking to a guy over a beer.
And on that show, he's consistent. In fact, he is one of very few already putting Reid and Mahomes in legitimate GOAT discussions every so often. He's got his buddies - clearly in LA with the Rams and Payton with Denver for example - but he is consistent.
Yeah, and it feels more raw, less scripted on his podcast. You get a cleaned up/polished version on Fox, more of a first-take response on The Volume.
And you get it without all the yelling and talking over each other dipstickery most other shows/podcasts have sunk to. [Reply]

The Chiefs expect good things to happen in close games, opponents expect to make mistakes against them.
Absolutely. The players on both sides are believing the Chiefs are going to win and so they make it happen, whether consciously or subconsciously. [Reply]

I listen to his podcast exclusively these days as far as his content goes. And most times he has a bad ass guest like Middlekauff or Nick Wright.
Well hasn't been poisoned for you. Keep it that way. I've already heard him say far too much heinously dumb shit for the sake of content to ever take him seriously. [Reply]

He will pick the opposite stance to the popular one every time. And it works.
Nah. He had a stance on Baker Mayfield for about 5 years. Didn't change it until last season, and really he didn't completely change his position until after the playoffs. Colin will change his mind, but he's not a butterfly about it. [Reply]

Some days I do. Some days I don't.
I think he's a generally sharp guy who can be a contrarian and a bomb-thrower without being a drolling dipshit like Skip Bayless.
