The Herd with Colin Cowherd

The WNBA’s Sophie Cunningham and Bravo’s West Wilson start by sending love and prayers to Australia, before diving headfirst into NFL news as the Kansas City Chiefs are officially eliminated from the playoffs, sparking big feelings and bigger takes. From there, it’s rapid-fire sports madness: Philip Rivers balling out for the Indianapolis Colts, Sophie reminiscing on nearly laying someone out on special teams while she was a high school kicker, her unfortunate middle finger mishap, and a behind-the-scenes story tale of Sophie’s visit to Adidas Headquarters. College football fans buckle up as Montana vs. Montana State reignites, Notre Dame raises eyebrows by skipping a bowl game, and Sophie and West attempt the impossible — ranking the drunkest NFL fan bases (yes, Bills Mafia gets their flowers). Things get even weirder (in the best way) with throwback footage of young West and “Ketchup Kenny,” news of John Cena retiring from WWE, a very real debate over whether Timothée Chalamet could be a rapper, and a look ahead to the FIFA World Cup coming to the U.S.00:00 - START3:40 - Sending love & prayers Australia 4:50 - Kansas City Chiefs Eliminated 11:10 - Phillip Rivers balls out 13:40 - Sophie’s Special Teams Almost tackle16:10 - Sophie’s messed up middle finger 17:00 - Sophie’s visit to Adidas Headquarters 20:30 - Montana vs Montana State Again! 23;30 - Notre Dame skips Bowl Game 27:20 - Ranking Drunkest NFL Fan Bases 30:00 - Shoutout to the Bills Mafia 31:26 - Young West & Ketchup Kenny Video 33:15 - John Cena retires from WWE 36:30 - Is Timothée Chalamet a rapper? 40:32 - Global Soccer Tournament in USA Get an Arby's Double Roast Beef or Double Beef 'n Cheddar in-store or Doordashed today. https://www.arbys.com/Shop SKIMS Fits Everybody Collection at https://www.skims.com/showme #skimspartnerGive yourself the gift of luxury and make every moment comfortable.
