See Red

$5b stadium with a roof and we still get a lightning delay because the sides are open.

Said they were doing it again in week 7 and then again the next week. Too bad. It's probably the most I've enjoyed watching an NFL game in a long time.

It's a shame they're not doing the Manning MNF broadcast every week because it is a way better watch than the traditional broadcast.

Eh, Gus Johnson is overrated.

That and the Triple Play baseball games.

It's the school. It's part of its Honor Code to not play on Sundays because of the Sabbath.

This Raiders/Ravens game is insane! And Carl Nassib forces the fumble in OT! Can't stand the Raiders but that's pretty awesome!

I would be surprised if the SEC didn't go with a pods + annual rivalry setup. Sankey's already acknowledged they need to rotate schools to different campuses with greater frequency, which simply isn't possible by keeping the current structure after expansion. Best setup I've seen is four pods of four teams. A. Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri B. Alabama, Auburn, Vanderbilt, Tennessee C. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky D. LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Arkansas Each school would have one annual rival from each other pod. This gets every school to every stadium at least once every six years, compared to the current setup where Florida hasn't played at Auburn since 2011 and won't for a while. Whatever two pods play eachother in a given year become a de facto division.

I enjoy a Cowboys loss as much as the next guy but that was 100% pass interference. edit: And regarding whether or not the defensive players momentum was already carrying him backwards, the two handed shove happened as Godwin was making his break, so both players momentum was going in that direction. Godwin never actually made a full break back toward Brady. The push made it impossible to defend, which is kind of he point of the rule.

So Brady's still great and now Tampa Bay is even more stacked at WR with Antonio Brown having a full offseason with the team. Dak looks good too. A call I've never seen before -- Jamel Dean was (incorrectly) called for grabbing a WR's facemask. Got a spot penalty for Pass Interference and a facemasking penalty.

Does USF even bring anything to the table if you get UCF? To think, USF was once in a position to block UCF from joining the Big East. Now they're getting left in the dust.

For what it's worth, Urban Meyer is under NFLPA investigation for cutting players in part because of their failure to get vaccinated, which violates the CBA.

Could be collaborative but one has the final say or they do it situationally. The Vikings have two, I think. Some teams have none officially. Not NFL, but a few years ago the Florida Gators had co-offensive coordinators (John Hevesy and Billy Gonzalez) but Dan Mullen is the one the handled offensive play calling.

ESPN was duped into airing a football game between IMG Academy and an online prep school that had played two days prior. The school had told ESPN they had multiple D-1 recruits on their roster, which ESPN could have disproven with two minutes of research. The announcers had this to say in the second quarter: I don't typically watch the HS football games on ESPN but when I have, they typically highlight some of the highest ranked recruits on each roster and where they are committed so you would think someone at ESPN would have caught that Bishop Sycamore had been lying.

Yeah, anyone who bought a Tebow Jags jersey deserved to get fleeced. And honestly, anybody who bought a Tebow Jags jersey is probably perfectly happy with their purchase still.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32017916/sources-pac-12-big-ten-acc-preliminary-discussions-forming-alliance-likely-scheduling The B10, Pac 12, and ACC are in preliminary talks about some sort of alliance.

Stephen A Smith already has. He's had rants about McDavid/Draisaitl getting swept and the Maple Leafs choking already where he prefaced by saying he doesn't know anything about hockey and then had an angry rant about hockey. That guy sucks. ESPN sucks.

It's not about what feels right, though. It's not about cultural fit and it's not about basketball appeal. It's about football and, most importantly, money. Admitting Rutgers and Maryland was about increasing the Big Ten's presence in the Washington D.C. and NYC markets to get the Big Ten network in more households and get a better television deal. The Big Ten already has a presence in Iowa and the Kansas City market isn't worth it. How do people not understand by now that this is about money. The Big Ten isn't going to bring in two teams that don't bring in enough revenue to account for the two additional mouths to feed. And considering the the Big Ten distributes $55m to its member schools while the Big XII distributes $37m with Oklahoma/Texas account for 50%-75% of the value of the Big 12's TV deals , it's a safe bet KU/ISU don't fit that criteria. I will admit, I can't account for what impact adding two more AAU schools would do as far as how much research money the Big Ten brings in, though. I get it... "but basketball!" But UConn was coming off of a National Championship and has proximity to the Hartford and NYC markets and nobody wanted them. I know UConn basketball isn't Kansas basketball, but still.

Would they? I'm not so sure. Football drives things and Kansas football is a meme while Iowa State is better, it'sstill historically mediocre. ISU isn't great at basketball and neither bring much to the table for non-revenue sports. Ultimately, does their addition bring more money to the B10 schools? I say no. I just don't see shoring up basketball as a response to what the SEC is doing. Eff it... Big Ten should raid the Pac 12. Or merge, I guess.

They need Notre Dame as a full-time member and then one from the Big XII . I think ND's the one school out there that makes the Big Ten or ACC member schools more money. Without Notre Dame, I think there's always a fear Clemson and FSU bolt for the SEC first chance they get. Although the hurdle for leaving the ACC is higher than it was for OU/Texas. On the plus side, this whole thing may be terrible for college football but it is definitely bad for Baylor, which is good.

College football realignment: FSU president John Thrasher does not want Florida State to be ‘left behind’ Welp... the ACC isn't long for this world.

Sure, but surely the best case scenario if P4 invites don't happen is that the eight Big XII teams stay together, get every penny owed by Texas and OU (maybe win a lawsuit against ESPN?), and bring on a handful of AAC programs (UCF, Houston, Memphis, Cincinatti) that would actually contribute to a better media deal. Whatever money they get is going to be a huge step down from what they were getting but I don't see how Ok State joining the AAC and now having to share money with programs like ECU and Tulsa is an option.

Feels like there would be more sense in the Big XII poaching some AAC teams, like UCF, Houston, Cincinnati, and Memphis, no? I feel like either way you still have a second tier conference that lacks any star power, for lack of a better term, but at least that way some of the deadweight gets shed. But then again it's probably ESPN behind all this, so what makes sense to them is what matters.

This video is perfect.

This part... They set a K9 on him because he walked away. That is reprehensible.
