Caleb Williams Looks GREAT At Practice, WNBA Needs New Leadership, Dodgers Summer Struggles

Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of "First Things First" on FS1.

They start with Colin attending Bears practice and Caleb Williams looking incredibly fast after dropping 15 pounds and looking far more accurate with his throws and they look for him to make a big jump in his second year with Ben Johnson (3:30).

They pivot to the controversy surrounding Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham and the league becoming embroiled in the culture wars and both agree that the WNBA has outgrown the leadership of commissioner Cathy Engelbert (10:30). Colin argues that just because Caitlin Clark stays out of the political fray doesn't mean that her and Cunningham can't be great teammates or friends (17:15).

Colin explains why Sean McVay ruining the NFL preseason by starting the trend of sitting starters has made him more engaged with August baseball (26:30), Danny advocates for Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong winning the MVP award (28:30) and Colin highlights why the star-studded Dodgers have been struggling (27:45). They also discuss the potential looming lockout for MLB after the 2026 season and why Wrigley Field is one of the best in-person baseball experiences (37:00).

Colin explains why he's done with the Mike Vrabel/Diana Russini story and has moved on, and they debate whether it will be a story moving forward (47:30). They also discuss whether Tony Romo's DWI will be used as an excuse for CBS to move on from him as an analyst (50:30).

Finally, they discuss how they each prepare for the NFL season as broadcasters (59:00).
