The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.
They start with the World Cup and Colin argues that even non-soccer fans can spot greatness on the soccer field, and that the USMNT has looked great so far, and even though we may not win it… we’ve substantially closed the gap with the world’s best teams (3:30).
They move to the NBA draft and discuss who they think the Chicago Bulls will draft at #4, and whether they should consider drafting local Illinois star Keaton Wagler, or possibly Duke star Cameron Boozer if he falls (12:30). They also discuss the concerns surrounding Darryn Peterson (24:00).
Colin points to changes made by Adam Silver leading to a new NBA Finals champion every year and that parity has been better than dynasties for the sport (29:30). They discuss why all sports now are competitive and in a really good place now that they’re the one thing people watch on live TV (36:30).
Finally, Colin shares the story of one of his first experiences with sports gambling when he was working as a young sports reporter in Las Vegas. They also discuss some of their best gambling strategies (50:00).
