Miami Hurricanes Take Savage Shot at Florida State During Power Outage
Call me crazy, but Arizona may have found a little Dak-and-Zeke magic by drafting Love and Beck in April. Are they a threat this year? Absolutely not. Still, Beck should be starting by midseason, and he has the tools to become Arizona’s long-term answer at quarterback. With him on a rookie deal, the team could spend next offseason strengthening the rest of the roster.
By the end of the season, Malachi Fields will be the Giants’ clear No. 2 wide receiver—and he may even prove to be a more reliable long-term weapon than Malik Nabers.
Fernando Mendoza reminds me of a more athletic Bernie Kosar, and I mean that as a compliment. In most drafts, though, he probably would not have gone first overall. I am curious to see how long he sits before getting his shot. Mendoza landing in Las Vegas is interesting, too—could there be a bigger mismatch between a player and a city?
Sean McDermott will become the Eagles’ head coach in 2027. With A.J. Brown gone, the offense may struggle, and Vic Fangio could retire. McDermott offers a strong résumé and the motivation to pursue his first Super Bowl title.
The Jets are more likely to receive Green Bay’s first-round pick from the Quinnen Williams trade than Dallas’s. With ongoing distractions, substantial roster turnover, and several players who could regress, the Packers are unlikely to finish ahead of Dallas in the NFL Draft order.
Dan Quinn appears to be entering the season as a lame-duck head coach. The offense lacks stability, the defense does not have the personnel needed to execute his scheme effectively, and the quarterback is returning from injury. Taken together, these concerns make Washington like a strong candidate for a top-five draft pick and a new head coach.
Wild prediction after the season. Tampa Bay hires Mike Tomlin and gives him Sean Payton like control and they lock Baker up long term.
Anyone else feel like the 49’ers need to find the reboot button after this off-season. Between head coach and owner embarrassment to whacky player and pretend player nonsense. This feels like a major change coming for the 49’ers.
I do not expect the Rams to win the Super Bowl. Super teams often fall short, and Seattle, Chicago, or Dallas could upset them in the NFC playoffs. However, if Los Angeles reaches the Super Bowl, I do not see an AFC team beating them.
The 2027 NFL Draft could become legendary if every prospect takes a step forward this college football season and polishes the rough edges.
It’s such a strange football world these days. Growing up I would never have dreamed the Pittsburgh Steelers would be more a soap opera than Dallas Cowboys. NFL will be better when Aaron finally goes away.
Can someone explain why Tennessee paired a young quarterback with a defensive-minded head coach? The decision makes little sense. Ward will quickly be labeled a bust if he struggles, but is the team giving him the support he needs to succeed?
And so college FBS football commences for another season. We’re late getting this started, so we’re going to fly through it (OK, OK, we didn’t go …
Football Follies 2026: NCAA Week 0.5
The conclusion of Aaron Rodgers’ NFL career will be a welcome milestone. He has remained a deeply polarizing and exhausting figure since his draft day, when he sat visibly distressed in the green room as teams repeatedly bypassed him. While it was once easy to empathize with his early-career challenges—particularly his years biding his time on the bench behind Brett Favre—few could have predicted he would develop an attitude so abrasive that it makes fans nostalgic for his predecessor. Hopefully, his upcoming season with the Pittsburgh Steelers proves just as short-lived as his tumultuous, fleeting tenure with the New York Jets.
LeBron James deserves credit for astutely recognizing the limitations of his situation. Understanding that the Los Angeles Lakers were highly unlikely to compromise their long-term financial flexibility for a temporary roster rental, both parties wisely chose to move forward independently. This transition cleanly turns the page, establishing the franchise as Luka Dončić’s undisputed team while allowing LeBron to pursue a fitting final act elsewhere. The persistent, outsized vitriol directed at LeBron remains entirely baffling; the modern sports landscape can be an remarkably toxic environment.
The era when ESPN served as the premier, authoritative source for sports journalism has been replaced by a continuous, low-substance shouting match. It is unsustainable for sports programming to be perpetually consumed by partisan political agendas, repetitive hyper-focus on the same half-dozen franchises, and analysts who intentionally escalate every debate into a personal feud.
Just as viewers rightfully object when commentators view every athletic milestone or setback through a racial lens—as frequently seen in the coverage of Caitlin Clark—there must be equal accountability when sports figures inject partisan politics into the workplace. A prime example is Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who inappropriately utilized his training camp press conference to mock Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Senate testimony by joking about “pleading the Fifth” on football questions.
This type of commentary is entirely out of place. Introducing political agendas into live sports, studio shows, and team press conferences is inherently alienating, and it becomes outright damaging when weaponized to spread biased or inaccurate personal viewpoints. Media members and team officials who prioritize partisan commentary over sports analysis should simply not be employed by major networks or organizations.
Until ESPN distances itself from the high-volume, controversy-driven formats popularized by Pat McAfee and Stephen A. Smith, the network will continue to compromise its founding principles. Scores of analytical, sports-centric podcasts could seamlessly transition into daily television programming. Implementing this shift would effectively lower the cultural temperature and return public attention to what truly matters: high-level athletic analysis, strategy, and execution.
If I am Jerry Jones, I would immediately sell a 15-to-20% ownership stake in the Dallas Cowboys to Mark Cuban. Partnering with one of the most brilliant and proven business minds of the last fifty years would cause the franchise’s valuation to skyrocket. Integrating Cuban’s innovative corporate acumen would not only represent a massive commercial victory for Dallas, but it would also serve as a highly lucrative, transformative win for the NFL’s broader business model.
A hard salary cap is an absolute necessity for Major League Baseball, and its implementation cannot arrive soon enough. Without comprehensive structural financial reform, small-and-mid-market franchises stand zero practical chance of competing against the bottomless financial resources of organizations like the Los Angeles Dodgers.
