The Herd with Colin Cowherd

On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff reacts to Mike Vrabel’s latest press conference and breaks down the key takeaways from one of the league’s most respected voices. What stood out, and is everyone ready to move on from the situation?
Later, it’s the Middlekauff Mailbag, answering your questions and hitting on a wide range of topics from around the league.
John dives into the New York Giants and their draft outlook, examining potential strategies, team needs, and how they could approach one of the most important drafts in recent years.
From there, he takes a step back and talks about losing in sports—why it matters, how players handle it, and what separates players that bounce back from those that stay stuck.
Plus, a big-picture look at NFL divisions and how the league stacks up across the board, before getting into the growing conversation around NFL expansion and what it could mean for the future of the sport.
