Colin is joined by U.S. Men's soccer legend Landon Donovan and host of the “Unfiltered Soccer” podcast with Tim Howard to preview the 2026 World Cup.

They start with the current USMNT and their more extensive experience in playing overseas, at a higher level than prior teams and the advantages it provides in preparing them for a cup.

Landon argues that due to their early superstar status & big contracts, they lost some grit, but if they are focused can exceed expectations (1:30).

They discuss the tension between star player Christian Pulisic and head coach Mauricio Pochettino after Pulisic declined an invite to the national team, and how Pochettino has brought a real sense of pride and accountability in playing for USMNT(3:30). 

Finally, they preview Group D and discuss whether the U.S. got a favorable draw, and the enormous pressure that comes with being a favorite and playing at home during a World Cup (7:45). They discuss how the expanded field of 48 teams has changed the definition of success for the United States (10:00), and debate whether the U.S. will play a more conservative defensive style or whether they’ll be aggressive and looking to attack (13:30).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the Week 14 NFL action + college football.

They start with the Packers holding off the Bears 28-21 and they both argue that despite the loss the Bears proved to be a big winner on the day and proved they belong in the top tier of NFL teams (3:00). 

They move to the Steelers win over the Ravens to take control of first place in the AFC North, and they agree that Lamar Jackson looks like a shell of himself and neither team is going anywhere if they make the playoffs (23:30).

They react to the final college football playoff rankings and Colin argues the key was getting Miami in, and John explains why he doesn’t like having guaranteed spots for non-power 4 conference teams (29:00). Colin breaks down why bowl games are in big trouble now that multiple teams are pulling out of them (37:30), and why he thinks Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza has likely played his way into becoming the #1 pick in the NFL draft after beating Ohio State (41:00).

They go back to the NFL to break down the Bills win over the Bengals and Colin argues that despite the win for Buffalo, they were outschemed, outplayed and can’t be trusted in the postseason (59:00). They recap Shedeur Sanders and the Browns losing to the Titans in a very uneven performance from Shedeur (1:07:00).

They pivot to the Broncos win over the Raiders in a game Colin calls “the most lopsided one score game” he’s ever seen and they debate whether the Raiders will blow it up after this season and/or potentially move on from Pete Carroll after only one season (1:16:00).

They move to the Seahawks blowout win over the Falcons & Colin explains why you can erase the Jets from Sam Darnold’s resume and that he’s proved to be a legit franchise quarterback (1:21:15). They break down the Rams blowout win over the Cardinals and why the Cardinals are completely out of their depth in an NFC West that features 3 incredible head coaches (1:26:00).

Finally, they recap the Vikings drubbing of the Commanders and argue it was JJ McCarthy’s best game and wonder whether Jayden Daniels will physically be able to hold up in the NFL (1:30:00).
