John Middlekauff kicks off by reacting to the news that the Los Angeles Rams have extended head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead and speculates on the Rams’ future as it pertains to the QB position if Matt Stafford retires this offseason. John then dives into the NFL International Games expanding to Paris, France in 2026 with the New Orleans Saints hosting the game and debates if the NFL will have a complete 17 game international package in the near future. John then presents a new edition of Dad Diaries, in which he discusses what it’s been like his first few weeks of being a new parent.
John wraps up with an interview with the San Francisco 49ers CEO Al Guido about his new promotion from president, the business of managing an NFL stadium in-season and in the offseason, the importance of relationships with the head coach and general manager, the role principal owner Jed York plays in the overall process, and advice for young people trying to break into sports.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the top NFL headlines.
They start with Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah being fired and point to animosity behind the scenes in Minnesota with the coaches and some bad draft choices…especially JJ McCarthy as the reasons why (3:30). Colin argues that while the organization has supported McCarthy publicly, behind the scenes there’s a serious lack of confidence in him (9:30) and Kwesi took too much time away during training camp in a business where grinding is paramount (14:00).
They discuss which of the new coaching hires will be viewed as a success in 5 years: Colin points to Raiders new head coach Klint Kubiak as a hit and John agrees and argues that if needed, the Raiders could trade Maxx Crosby for a haul that could help reset the franchise (22:30).
Colin tries to identify other quarterbacks that were labeled “busts”, then end up ascending to a convincing top 7-8 quarterback in the league and they debate where to rank Darnold in the QB hierarchy if he wins a Super Bowl (28:30). Colin argues that football has changed, and that having a quarterback with “horsepower” is worth putting up with more mistakes and interceptions (35:00).
Finally, John points out the $10 billion dollar sale price of the Lakers and they discuss why the floated 6-8 billion dollar estimated price for the Seahawks seems way too low for a team in the Super Bowl and set up for long term success (45:00).
