When is your show going to be in Seattle? Ryan, Seattle
It is bro. It’s on 710 ESPN. That used to be known as KIRO. It was a newsradio station for years. My dad loved that station. Dave Ross and Wayne Cody were on it, when I was younger. Turn it on brotha!
Colin, who is your [...]

Was Rickey On Roids?

Posted by: Fireman Mike | Comments (2)

Hey Uncle Colin, are we sure that Rickey Henderson didn’t use steroids? Is that even a legit question? Buckles, Oakland
First of all, it’s totally legit. He played during the ‘Steroid Era’, he had that ‘roid build and got bigger in his later years. I don’t have any idea, but I’m not a mark either. If [...]

Colin, you said other day that you knew of two Dodgers on steroids at one point. Let it out brotha! Bill, LA
Never forget where most of the steroids in the last twenty years started; Wherever Jose Canseco was and in San Francisco (where BALCO was located). Funny how a couple great arms in the Bay [...]

Colin, I bow to your college football acumen and ask for your expertise in helping me make some money. I have to pick ONE team from each of these conferences (B10, B12, BE, SEC, P10, ACC) and one any D1 team who will most frequently COVER this year. Any suggestions would be appreciated. [...]

Colin, do you have a team on the rise and a team on the decline in the NFL? Frank, Dublin, Ohio
I love the Atlanta Falcons, from owner to GM to quarterback to coach. All four grade out B+ or better. You only see that in the elite NFL teams. It’s such an advantage to any [...]

I am a huge fan of the Pac-10 schools (USC and ASU mostly). Are the Ducks going to be that good this year? Eric, Los Angeles
I think so, but they have a lot of new faces on the O-line. I love their offense, but defensively they lost some thick and talented interior lineman. Oregon isn’t [...]

Why are you so high on Artest to the Lakers? Ron, Sacramento
Artest grew up in an abusive NYC household. The kid has dealt with things I can’t imagine. In the NBA, I just like guys who give me something consistently. Artest gives me a great defensive effort every night of the year. I can’t ask [...]

Could SportsNation ever get moved to ESPN, instead of ESPN2? Ron, Indianapolis
That’s the goal actually. We love starting on ESPN 2 because we can take more chances and aren’t as closely monitored by the mustaches (executives). There are some shows on ESPN in the afternoon, that are, let’s just say not exactly fascinating television. Our [...]

I know you love Wrigley Field and Fenway but what’s your least favorite major league ballpark? Jared, San Antonio
Most of the new parks are really well done. I’ve been fortunate enough to see games at Petco, Safeco, Minute Maid and in SF. I would say, based solely on reports from my Hot Friend Ann, the [...]

Which do you, prefer Real or fake? Ken, Hooters
Real, and it’s not even close. I just think fake anything probably means there’s some self esteem issue in your past, which will eventually rear its ugly head. It’s one thing if you’re 40 and have several kids. Women than often need a lift job, I get [...]
