The Herd with Colin Cowherd

On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff dives into some of the most interesting storylines across football and the sports world.
John starts with the college football decision to ban NFL players, discussing the implications of the rule, where the line should be drawn between college and professional football, and what it could mean for the future of the sport.
With the NFL season right around the corner, John also identifies the teams that could be wild cards to make the playoffs. Which teams are being overlooked? Who could surprise everyone and make a run into January? John breaks down the potential sleepers and why they're worth keeping an eye on.
John also takes a moment to discuss the passing of Dolly Parton, reflecting on her incredible career, cultural impact, and why her legacy extends far beyond music.
To wrap things up, it's another edition of the Middlekauff Mailbag, with John answering listener questions and diving into even more NFL, college football, and sports topics.
From college football rules and NFL playoff sleepers to the legacy of an American icon and your questions, it's all covered on this episode of 3 & Out.
