The NFL schedule will be released tomorrow at 5 pm PST, but the league is slowly revealing marquee matchups, with the San Francisco 49ers hosting the New York Jets to open Monday Night Football. Colin Cowherd shares his conspiracy theory on why the league scheduled an Aaron Rodgers vs. Niners matchup in his return from a season-ending injury. In the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks failed to close out Game 4 and fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 100-96. Luka Dončić finished with 18 points but also committed seven turnovers. Colin reacts to Luka’s struggles, then explains why he “screams selfish.”

so the NFL schedule release tonight or tomorrow but a few games are leaking out and I know how much Aaron roders loves conspiracy theories he doesn’t view them as such but many people do so I thought well let me throw one of my favorites out the 49ers on Monday Night Football the first Monday Night Football game that’s always a crazy crowd host Aaron and the New York Jets you think it’s a coincidence the NFL looked at the Jets schedule and said what would be the toughest game H travel 3,000 miles and face Kyle Shanahan a brilliant offensive coach in the opener Monday Night Football the first Monday Night Football game think about this offensive coach coaches Andy Reed in September best coach in the league McVey six and one in openers Shanahan offensive coaches are much tougher to Face Off buys extra time to prepare and in openers go ask Pete Carroll what it was like to face McVey last year in the opener when the heavily Underdog Road Rams went to Seattle and unveiled an entirely different run scheme Pete and the Seahawks were lost for three and a half hours Robert solid defense coach nobody knows him better than Shanahan well Colin nobody knows Shanahan better than yeah but he’s a defensive coach Shanahan’s going to unveil all sorts with his veteran team that’s got winning in nura winning momentum at home Monday Night Football what part of the Jets are they rebuild this off season the o line three veteran o linemen oh wait offensive lines are never synced up in September especially with three new players and especially now that no veteran offensive lineman really play in the pre-season those days are pass there’s only three preseason games anymore the league is reducing it and the coaches are reducing playing starters old starters especially so think of all the games on their schedule you face Shanahan on the road rebuilt offensive line oh by the way the uh the player that knocked Aaron roggers out Floyd he now plays for the ners you think it’s a coincidence I’ve watched the NFL my entire life manipulate television networks the free agent schedule Christmas day to take away some oxygen from the NBA this network and other networks constantly have to tell baseball and hockey how to create more big events the NFL teaches us lessons and they chose Aaron in San Francisco as the opener and why would they do that because Aaron’s gotten increasingly controversial and the NFL owns the world the last time they were controversial was Colin Kaepernick it hurt ratings they don’t want controversy they don’t need controversy they don’t need clicks you go look at that jet schedule with three new offensive linemen plus jmck a rookie offensive lineman you think they’re going to be humming week one against that pass rush no chance that is the toughest game on their schedule and the NFL look at this too because I don’t believe Aaron’s driving business anymore momes is Lamar is Allen is Cowboys are Packers are what did they do to the brand friendly Patrick momes in the first two weeks two division row home games they got Patrick Mahomes gets to fate my bad Patrick Mahomes gets two home games to start he gets Little Joe burrow to start Lamar Jackson so brand friendly Kansas City Mahomes the biggest rock star Taylor Swift they get him at home and it’s friendly Aaron Rodgers 3,000m flight rebuilt o line offensive coach think it’s a coincidence think it’s a zany coincidence Kansas City brand friendly put him at home everybody wants to start the season off right Arrowhead they win like 75 80% of their games think I’m crazy Shanahan knows Sol’s defense back and forth I know what you’re saying Colin that that is that is way out there I’ve watched this league manipulate networks free agency Christmas Day the draft they are constantly aware of who is helping the league and who’s potentially a pain in the butt Jets 0 and one off the front page back to another losing season I know it stings jmck but it seems to me the NFL put him in San Francisco to start and that by the way Monday Night Football not the early window not the late afternoon no the two toughest places to win in this league are Sunday Night Football on the road and Monday Night Football on the road not a coincidence you could have buried that thing in late October given Aaron a couple of nice couple of nice games couple of home games a winning streak no you could have had the ners you know coming off the road send them out Road send them Road Road now the Jets Road no rested offensive coach at home with by the way another clever receiving weapon in Ricky peel all sorts of tricks for Shanahan to play with okay congrats to OKC they unlike Dallas hit their free throws they unlike Dallas did not make mistakes the young team the young OKC did all the things right late in the game congrats to them GA is remarkable player but I was thinking about this is that at any one time the NBA’s got about a dozen what you would call stars like right now they got about a dozen Stars Luke is a star and Giannis and beid and you know you know you know the group ant is becoming a Tatum’s a star SGA is a star and any one time there’s 10 to 12 stars and usually I’m all in on almost all of them but there’s always one maybe two top that I’m a a little reluctant to embrace Blake Griffin was one I didn’t Embrace I said take away the dunks what do I get can’t shoot a jumper Carmelo Anthony I didn’t Embrace won’t defend low efficiency jump shooter I’m not sure he’s in great shape not easy to play with Derek Rose I wouldn’t Embrace hyper athletic can’t shoot not sustainable if you have to score at The Rim Westbrook same thing hyper athletic not a great shooter and when the ball’s not in His Hands he’s not very effective by the way those guys no titles I think one finals appearance Blake Griffin Melo Rose Westbrook I just wasn’t in for it Luca is not quite there yet but I’m getting really close to saying that about Luca yeah I mean I compared him to Melo when he came into the league I think he’s better than Melo better three-point shooter although he’s having a terrible three-point shooting run but watch Luca when he doesn’t have the ball sometimes you can’t find him on the TV screen he disengages he doesn’t move like a Steph Curry whereas a Steph Curry and a yic who have combined for five titles five MVPs and Counting constantly create value when they don’t have the ball when Luca doesn’t have it yeah whatever you guys do your thing that’s the difference between joic and Curry and Luca they add tremendous value to a team even when they don’t have the ball he just screams selfish to me I want him to be part of the offense he wants to be the offense almost like when you get that that report card at least I did when I was like fifth sixth grade doesn’t play well with others Mom saw it I had to shape up like what are you going to tell him how you going to teach him I mean again since he was like 16 years old he’s the team he’s the offense he’s the score he is almost indifferent to the team when he doesn’t have the ball he could go to the corner the closest three doesn’t work for it I think I saw this morning like 92 of 963 are non corner threes why isn’t he why isn’t he working to get those threes those are the easiest threes because when he doesn’t have the ball he doesn’t play well with others and that really defines beyond their great talent Curry and joic again five titles five MVPs so I’m not saying stars can’t have off nights that happens all the time joic didn’t play well in the first couple games in Minnesota got pushed around rebounded and I’m sure Luca will have great other games but between the I mean one of the reasons they’re kind of they’re kind of in a tough spot in Dallas so they don’t want Luca to have the ball as much because they’re like 9 and0 when his usage rate is under 30% but when he doesn’t have the ball he’s a fairly useless player who doesn’t play well with others hi everybody it’s me Uncle Colin subscribe here to get the latest from the herd including exclusive behind the scenes videos and more wherever you may be be however you may be

  1. Colin needs to take the L with ARod. Many of Aaron Rodgers' "conspiracy theories" actually turned out to be true

  2. This is a league where anything can happen. Half the teams have to start the season on the road. How do you know half the 49ers players won’t get hurt pre season. Literally anything can happen.

  3. LOL…Man, Colin is such a mole. Clearly a part of the mainstream agenda. What a way to make a living, controlled off camera only to be controlled on camera. Humans.

  4. This is a bad narrative idea… Aaron Rodgers is STILL moving the ratings scale, having him on a prime time game to start the season, JUST AS THEY DID LAST SEASON, is just a great thing for NFL Ratings.

    Colin swung and he missed. Can’t hit em all.

  5. It’s amazing Colin’s hate for Rodgers and also love to talk about Rodgers. He loves to hate him and also simultaneously loves to talk about it. It’s getting ridiculous

  6. Colin hates rodgers because he didn't get the vaccine. Colin please grow up bro, you are a grown man.

  7. Colin didn't even realize KC has 10 days to prepare for week 2. KC's opens on Thursday night again just like last year.

    Thursdays is the best day to open, KC two years in a row. Monday is the worst, Jets two years in a row.

  8. Rodgers is gonna tear it up this year & Colin will still hate him “ He is a Non-Vaxer “

  9. NFL is giving Chiefs best chance to beat Ravens and Bengals by doing it early AF. Mahomes always crushes Sep. they want the 3peat

  10. Horrible conspiracy take. Thank goodness for Nick Wright giving the reasonable take…. that they just want to make sure Aaron plays an exciting game before he gets injured

  11. Colin last year criticizing Joe Rogan because " conspirances theories" Colin now throwing conspirances theories about NFL. If you dont have content talk about other things

  12. I don’t agree with that because if that was the case why would he get triple doubles why would he get a cyst why would he rebound basketball and he’s also been playing defense in his playoffs so I don’t agree with you on that I normally do agree with you but this is one time I do not agree with you

  13. Colin acts like Luca has had the help that the other guys listed had. His best players were Brunson, who has been shown to be a ball dominant guard in New York, and another PG in Kyrie. Saying he’s doesn’t get open like Steph or doesn’t create opportunities like Jokic is unfair. Steph and Jokic are literally 1 of 1. No one gets open like Steph. Luka is just better with the ball in his hands and doesn’t have another star who can help him without the ball in their hands. With that being said let’s go Thunder!!!!
