The Herd with Colin Cowherd

After Roger Goodell's critical comments about Deshaun Watson, Colin believes the entire NFL is working against the Browns to get Watson's suspension raised above the current 6 games. He talks about the NFL preseason and why certain teams don't need to bother playing any of their starters. He also has bad news for the Lakers as the season approaches and Russell Westbrook remains on the roster. Plus, Nick Wright from First Things First joins the show to talk about the changing landscape of college football and a bold prediction for one team in the AFC this season.

Colin explains how Kevin Durant’s career would be better if he never met social media, if the Jets have any chance to avoid disaster after a season ending injury to LT Mekhi Bechton, and why he’d avoid letting Hard Knocks in the door at all costs. (3:00)

Today's guest is Steve Magness, a performance expert, coach and author of the new book "Do Hard Things." 

He's coached some of the top distance runners in the world, and literally wrote the book on the subject. But his newest book asks its readers to re-think how they perceive the prevailing model of toughness and its mentality of fear, false bravado, and hiding weakness. 

Sports betting is famously an environment filled with false bravado and weakness hiding as strength. It is a pursuit loaded with mental pitfalls some never overcome. That's why Action Network hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter dig deep with Steve to learn the lessons in his book, and draw parallels between mentally coaching yourself to outcomes and the sometimes nauseating pursuit of sports betting success. 

As Steve writes, “real toughness is experiencing discomfort or distress, leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action. It’s navigating discomfort to make the best decision you can.”  #Herd

After another brawl at New York Giants training camp, Colin says this is bad news for the person who's supposed to be their franchise leader. He analyzes the latest development with Kevin Durant's trade request and why it's obvious he's forcing his way out of Brooklyn before the season starts. He also explains why the Patriots are struggling in training camp and why they are similar to Blockbuster. Plus, Hall of Famer and NFL on Fox analyst Jimmy Johnson joins the show to discuss the expectations for the Dolphins after remaking the offense around QB Tua Tagovailoa.
