Kick it!
If USC loses to Oregon at home on Saturday, how emotionally devastating will it be for the Trojan/Lincoln Riley cause in 2026?
USC is 4-0 (San Jose St., Fresno St., Louisiana, Rutgers), their opponents are a combined 6-7 with wins over: Eastern Michigan, Cal Poly, Sacramento St., San Jose St, Lamar & UAB.
Safe to say, Troy really needs this win.
Speaking of important games, the Minnesota Vikings are going to Tampa Bay and plan to start Kyler Murray at quarterback.
The Northmen are 2-0 with Carson Wentz, and the Buccaneers are struggling. Murray really needs to show out.
Last Add Tampa: Defensive lineman Vita Vea, 31, got the fat extension going into the season and has produced one pressure and one tackle in two games….By contrast, Aaron Donald, playing for the first time since 2023, had three tackles and a pressure in one game.
If we thought the NFL was catering to these streaming platforms, we might need to rethink it with the Falcons-Packers matchup for Prime on Thursday.
Kirk Herbstreit is really going to need emotional support to get through that one…
Will the Dodgers and Padres have an on-field brawl before the playoffs are over?
It’s an awful thing to admit, but I’m not really interested in MLB at the moment…It feels dead.
I like the Rams against the Broncos this week…
Terrible news about Jaxon Dart.
The New York Jets have signed quarterback Will Levis to the Practice Squad…I still think there’s stuff to discover about Levis. If Baker Mayfield can mature, so can Levis.
Third week of the season, and the NFL, with the blessing of the NFL Players Union, is sending the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys to Brazil. And it’s not even a prime time game…
I cannot believe people in the sports media are being paid—paid a lot of money—to say the New York Giants should sign Colin Kaepernick.
I’m not saying these media types should be fired, but when an athlete takes a controversial stance, the people signing their checks usually distance themselves…And they do it publicly…in full Carlie Irsay-Gordon fashion.
What would happen inside the MLB offices if Tampa and Milwaukee faced off in the World Series? Would commissioner Rob Manfred even allow that to happen?
And what would a Rays-Brewers World Series do to the payroll/salary cap argument heading into collective bargaining?
#113—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth…
