Their last name is the same, as is their first initial. Without intending to be vague, the opposing press-box announcer says "Robinson with the carry," which is usually a safe bet. Whether it's Bijan Robinson — perhaps the best running back in the NFL today — or new backup Brian Robinson, the Atlanta Falcons have the league's No. 2 rushing attack entering Week 5, switching out in the middle of […]

Georgia is the best team in college football, and now they’ve got the No. 1-ranking to show for it. And I feel vindicated in my belief about Kirby Smart’s Dawgs: If maleficent Martians had a death laser pointed at the Earth with a crusty gnarled finger on a button ready to press it unless one of the top-25 teams on this list could beat a hypothetical otherworldly college football squad, and I […]

The top three teams with the best regular season records remain, along with a squad that personifies a never-quit attitude. We're knee-deep in October baseball with both the Championship Series set to give us plenty of stars and drama. Let's look at what it will take for each team to reach the World Series, their surprise players, and which stars need to really step up (Hint, hint: That includes a […]

Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover has extended the program's winning streak to 21 games and been a smooth operator of the offense. So why isn't he getting more Heisman buzz? Matt Leinart thinks it's time to change that. "No one's talked about Josh Hoover," Leinart said on Saturday's edition of "Big Noon Kickoff." "Fernando Mendoza came out of nowhere last year toward the second half of the season [for Indiana]. Hoover's […]

Charlotte Motor Speedway (Concord, N.C.) — The Kyle Busch Celebration of Life included many stories about the fiery two-time Cup champion. While the stories and memories and tributes flowed, it was the people closest to Busch that helped celebrate him the most. His 11-year-old son, Brexton, ended the hour-long program by doing burnouts in one of his father’s Cup cars. He then stood on the car’s roof, took a checkered […]

AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas) — If you thought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would upset the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, then congratulations, you were on the right side of one of the biggest upsets this NFL season. In a game that many expected the 9.5-point favorite Cowboys to run away with, the Buccaneers put on a strong road performance for much of the night, winning 24-16. The win was Tampa Bay's […]

The controversy surrounding a pair of NFL referees getting suspended due to their conduct toward players this past week led Tom Brady to take a bad trip down memory lane, but not in the way you might think. In the most recent edition of #AskTom, Brady was asked what the worst thing he ever heard a ref say during his playing days. His answer wasn't a message that a referee […]

The first four weeks of the 2026 NFL season were far from predictable. A sliver of teams with playoff (and even championship) hopes are winless. The Minnesota Vikings are one of the final three undefeated teams left. Kenneth Walker III looks like the favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year, and the Los Angeles Rams haven't been as invincible as we thought they might be. We technically aren't at […]

College Football Playoff leaders are channeling their best Jerry Maguire this week. "Show me the money!" they might tell you – or at least that's what they're asking their current television network partner. Friday marks the end of a 30-day exclusive negotiating window between ESPN and the CFP around the rights to an expanded 24-team field. That won’t, however, be the end of all this. While Friday could bring an […]
