Rob Gronkowski wonders if Aaron Rodgers wishes he retired in the offseason
After toying with the idea of retirement over the past few years, veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers made clear heading into his 2026 campaign with the Pittsburgh Steelers that this would be his final year in the NFL.

Boise State coach Spencer Danielson says Western Michigan is ‘undefeated’ ahead of matchup
The dramatic, and dramatically questionable conclusion of the Week 1 college football game between Michigan and Western Michigan will be remembered by fans for quite some time. Unfortunately, when it’s remembered in the history books, it will be remembered as a loss for Western Michigan. Those that witnessed the game know what they saw—the Broncos…
Colin Cowherd says Caleb Williams is ‘carrying’ NFL, compares him to Tiger Woods
Caleb Williams was the breakout star of the 2025 NFL season, rejuvenating one of the league’s iconic franchises and giving hope to a passionate fanbase.

LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin’s homecoming to Oxford, MS, was spoiled, as the Ole Miss Rebels won Saturday night’s SEC showdown, 32-24.

Stormy Buonantony’s VSiN co-host calls out ‘a-hole’ Bill Belichick: ‘I’m glad you lost the game’
Stormy Buonantony earned her stripes on Saturday when she attempted to interview Bill Belichick and received monotone, curt answers that left her hanging. The ESPN college football sideline reporter handled it with class, telling her fellow broadcasters afterward that she “made it out alive” and noting that the North Carolina head coach had been much…
Bill Simmons questions if ‘Post-Sedona Mike Vrabel’ is hurting Patriots
The New England Patriots improved to 1-1 with Sunday’s 20-3 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Pats quarterback Drake Maye, last season’s MVP runner-up, hasn’t been the same caliber of player this season. In two games, Maye has thrown four interceptions for just one touchdown and is averaging only 193 passing yards per game. After…

Dak Prescott gets emotional reflecting on late mother after record-breaking touchdown
As the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott has a lot of eyes on him at all times. He also knows his mother is keeping tabs on him from afar, and he was well aware of that on Sunday. With a little over three minutes left in Sunday’s 37-20 win over the Washington…
Emmanuel Acho denies knowledge of NFL investigation into ‘Big Dom’ DiSandro
Emmanuel Acho insists the NFL hasn’t reached out to him at all about the investigation his own story apparently kicked off.

Fox’s Terry Bradshaw loses track of best NFL tight end debate with Rob Gronkowski
Terry Bradshaw couldn’t believe it when Rob Gronkowski, a legendary tight end and co-host on Fox NFL Sunday, revealed his pick for the best tight end in the NFL during the pregame show in Week 2. While previewing the Arizona Cardinals’ home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, Gronkowski took a moment to shine a light…
Everyone’s already sick of the Jason and Kylie Kelce Sunday Ticket commercials
The NFL season is well underway, and fans have spent several weekends glued to their TVs, watching hours of football. It also means they’ve already seen hours of the Jason and Kylie Kelce Sunday Ticket commercials, and we’re barely out of Week 2. You probably don’t need me to explain which commercials I mean. ESPN…
Jim Nantz had a vulgar slip of the tongue on Steelers-Pats call
Jim Nantz probably has a lot on his mind this season as he learns to work with J.J. Watt and wonders whether he’ll work with Tony Romo again. So much on his mind that it might make the words come out a little differently than intended. That was on display Sunday afternoon when Nantz struggled…

Dan Orlovsky was pressed on his quarterback favoritism, and now he’s being pressed on his “what it should look like” comment.

Longtime Bills radio voice John Murphy denied press box credential, suspects it’s tied to critical column
John Murphy called Buffalo Bills games for 34 years, and this season, he can’t even get into the press box at the team’s new stadium. According to Buffalo News writer Alan Pergament, Murphy believes the exclusion stems from a column he wrote in August that singled out rookie head coach Joe Brady as the biggest…
Troy Aikman calls ‘bullsh*t’ on notion other broadcasters don’t have conflicts of interest
If it weren’t already clear how little concern Troy Aikman has about his consulting role with the Dolphins, the lead ESPN NFL analyst just spelled it out himself.

Kyle Brandt wishes doom on anyone making ‘Madden curse’ jokes about Caleb Williams

Paramount is set to settle the antitrust lawsuit brought by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other states over the company’s proposed purchase of Warner Bros.

Aaron Rodgers has looked like one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL through two weeks this season, but don’t expect him to take any of the blame.

ESPN criticized for missing Lane Kiffin-Pete Golding handshake after LSU-Ole Miss game
In what was one of the most highly anticipated regular-season college football games in recent memory, ESPN failed to capture one of the most-anticipated moments of the broadcast for viewers.

ESPN’s College GameDay will be heading to Knoxville this coming weekend to countdown to kickoff of Saturday’s game between No. 14 Tennessee and Texas.
