This is Prime Cuts! The best of The Colin Cowherd Podcast. First, (3:00) Colin explains why Kirby Smart is wrong about NIL money ruining the motivation of young athletes, and why the Vikings and Kirk Cousins will shine without Mike Zimmer around.

Then, former Bears and Dolphins HC and FOX NFL analyst Dave Wannstedt on if the new Bears regime is committed to Justin Fields, if the Steelers will start Kenny Pickett over Mitchell Trubisky in Week 1, and if Tua can have a breakout year in Mike McDaniel’s QB friendly offense.

Next, former Vikings linebacker and current analyst Ben Leber on the viral reaction to his reporting of a rift between Kirk Cousins and former Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer, if Minnesota should be favored over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in the NFC North, and how the Vikings will look different under new head coach Kevin O’Connell.

Finally, longtime Sports Illustrated golf writer Alan Shipnuck and author of Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf's Most Colorful Superstar - on how Phil and Greg Norman decided to join forces to wage war on the PGA with LIV, why the PGA Tour was so vulnerable to real competition, if flaws make Phil a more sympathetic figure, if he needed the LIV money due to gambling losses.
