Colin Cowherd Podcast Prime Cuts - Cowboys Crush The Draft, Did Rams Reach For Simpson? The Myth Of Michael Jordan, LIV Golf Goes Belly Up

Colin Cowherd and his guest dissect the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on the Chicago Bears' strategic offensive-heavy picks and the controversial selection of Ty Simpson by the Rams, which sparks debate over value versus need. They analyze how coaching impact—particularly Ben Johnson’s influence in Chicago and Sean McVay’s in Los Angeles—shapes draft outcomes, with strong praise for the Cowboys' steal of Caleb Downs at pick 11. The conversation shifts to the collapse of LIV Golf, examining its business model, ethical concerns tied to Saudi funding and the Jamal Khashoggi scandal, and its failure to gain traction due to lack of TV rights and media legitimacy. The episode closes with a cultural reflection on Michael Jordan’s mythos, contrasting his mysterious, pre-social media persona with LeBron James’s hyper-visible, socially engaged presence, arguing that Jordan’s legacy was preserved by the absence of constant digital scrutiny. The tone is analytical, with moments of humor and skepticism, especially around the Rams' draft and LIV Golf’s downfall.
