The Herd with Colin Cowherd

First, it’s Fake Questions, Real Answers, (3:00) including if Colin agrees with JJ Reddick’s rebuke of ‘Mad Dog’ Russo for saying Draymond Green should just ‘shut up and play’, what’s behind the ratings spike of the LeBron-less Playoffs, if Ryan Tannehill should mentor Malik Willis, if Colin is responsible for keeping Lincoln Riley in the headlines, and what lesson NBA could learn from MLB about player rest. 

Then, longtime Cowboys columnist - and host of The Doomsday Podcast - Matt Mosley and Colin discuss if Lincoln Riley deserves the blowback over Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison potentially transferring to USC (18:00), if the Cowboys over drafted their 1st round pick OT Tyler Smith (24:00), why the Mavericks can’t land top line free agents (32:00), how the media has evolved into athletes controlling their own narrative like Draymond (43:00), and what’s behind the NBA playoffs ratings spike (52:00).

First, (3:00) Colin tries to figure out why Dallas isn’t at the top of NBA free agent lists, why college football desperately needs the glamor of The U for the good of the sport, and if it's Ryan Tannehill’s job to mentor Malik Willis.

Then, Colts GM Chris Ballard joins Colin to discuss if he likes working for outspoken owner Jim Irsay (11:00), if this draft was as bad as advertised (15:00), if he’s changed his draft philosophy due to the NFL’s offensive explosion (21:00), and how the Matt Ryan trade materialized (25:00). He also explains the importance of sticking to his draft board (28:00), what it’s like to not have a first round pick (39:00), why the current transfer happy college environment is bad for the NFL game (41:00).
