Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1.

They start by discussing Barstool’s deal with Netflix and  the podcast space expanding from audio to video. They compare it to sports moving from radio to TV and explain why it isn’t “selling out”...it’s smart business (3:00). 

They move to the criticism of the NBA Cup and they both agree the blowback is unfounded and  that the in-season tournament is a hit since the players bought in (19:00).

Colin offers his new theory that explains the unprecedented drop off from Russell Wilson after seeing Tua on MNF. He argues that when smaller quarterbacks are afraid to get hit, they age overnight. They both agree that Tua’s career is likely over (29:45). 

They discuss the evolution of Justin Herbert, and why they think he could win a title and an MVP under Jim Harbaugh (37:15). They also express sympathy for Joe Burrow after he gave multiple despondent press conferences and they debate whether his discontent is purely with the Bengals or if there are other factors (43:45). They also try to decipher what the trade value for Burrow would be if he forces a trade (58:00).

Finally, Colin explains why Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is an easy player to scout due to Indiana running an NFL style offense (1:00:30), and they discuss some of their bad sports bets (1:06:00).

Jason reacts to the NBA Cup championship between Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony-Towns and the New York Knicks & Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. He breaks down how Wemby, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, and De'Aaron Fox controlled for much of the game but how the defensive trio of Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart helped flip the game.

The WNBA’s Sophie Cunningham and Bravo’s West Wilson start by sending love and prayers to Australia, before diving headfirst into NFL news as the Kansas City Chiefs are officially eliminated from the playoffs, sparking big feelings and bigger takes.

From there, it’s rapid-fire sports madness: Philip Rivers balling out for the Indianapolis Colts, Sophie reminiscing on nearly laying someone out on special teams while she was a high school kicker, her unfortunate middle finger mishap, and a behind-the-scenes story tale of Sophie’s visit to Adidas Headquarters. College football fans buckle up as Montana vs. Montana State reignites, Notre Dame raises eyebrows by skipping a bowl game, and Sophie and West attempt the impossible — ranking the drunkest NFL fan bases (yes, Bills Mafia gets their flowers).

Things get even weirder (in the best way) with throwback footage of young West and “Ketchup Kenny,” news of John Cena retiring from WWE, a very real debate over whether Timothée Chalamet could be a rapper, and a look ahead to the FIFA World Cup coming to the U.S.

The holiday season is here and gamblers nationwide are catching a case of the Kringle Tingles because of a yuletide Saturday slate of NFL action to bet on! Today NFL betting expert Chad Millman is joined by professional sports gambler Simon Hunter to discuss the latest NFL spreads. Together the duo provide initial betting picks and predictions for NFL Week 16 as the march towards crowning a champion in the free SHARP OR SQUARE PRO FOOTBALL PICK 'EM CONTEST at https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/ continues. 

Today's betting action starts with Thursday Night Football, with Matt Stafford and the LA Rams facing Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks. Plus, because of the looming Christmas NFL schedule, we also have special Saturday games this week, including Jalen Hurts and the rebounding Philadelphia Eagles against the battered Washington Commanders. Saturday night features a huge NFC North matchup between Jordan Love and his Green Bay Packers as they head to the Windy City to take on Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. Later, we hear about Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills as they look to stay in the AFC East race with a win over Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns, plus the lowly New York Jets and young quarterback Brady Cook facing Tyler Shough and his New Orleans Saints.

We also get bets for the battle between Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the top-seeded Denver Broncos, led by Bo Nix. Patrick Mahomes is now lost for the season with an ACL tear, but can his Kansas City Chiefs cover against the dreadful Tennessee Titans? And will Dak Prescott have enough to defeat Justin Herbert and the LA Chargers? And finally, does Philip Rivers have enough magic left for the Indianapolis Colts to upset Brock Purdy and the big home favorite San Francisco 49ers? Find out on this week's episode! #Volume
