BEST OF THE HERD – Dodgers facing a sweep | Sam Darnold continues to be UNDERRATED | Julian Edelman on Drake Maye & Eagles
Summary
Colin Cowherd argues the Dodgers are a "complete mismatch" against the younger, superior Brewers in the World Series, dismissing payroll bias. He defends Sam Darnold as a proven Super Bowl winner who deserves credit for his talent rather than weekly scrutiny. The show also critiques the Eagles' coaching staff and Jalen Hurts' struggles, while guest Julian Edelman discusses the mental grind of Week 6 and the importance of practice execution in big games.
