The Herd with Colin Cowherd
The Herd with Colin Cowherd is a thought-provoking, opinionated, and topic-driven journey through the top sports stories of the day.
THE HERD – Hour 1 – You won’t find a Jalen Brunson in the draft, John Calipari

Arkansas head basketball coach John Calipari stops by and discusses how Arkansas prospect Dari...
THE HERD – Hour 2 – Don’t talk your way out of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Maurice Edu
Fox soccer analyst Maurice Edu checks in from Seattle ahead of a major clash between Team USA and Australia in the World Cup, how the players and fans both are building on belief after the Paraguay game, and what Christian Pulisic matters to this American roster. Colin sees both arguments for Giannis Antetokounmpo but he urges teams not to seek perfection over fit. Is AJ Dybantsa the best player in the NBA draft? Colin thinks the first pick is easy, but the real fun comes after that.
