Excited to see how Terry Smith does the rest of the season. Good recruiter, good coach, hopefully a fire under his and the roster’s ass, and there’s a decent analog to Luke Fickell being interim HC and staying on as DC when Urban Meyer was hired at Ohio State, to great dividends

Sources across the NFL tell @robinsonreports.bsky.social that if the Cowboys are in the playoff hunt at the trade deadline, Jerry Jones' phone will be open for any sellers who want to call — especially with a plus-size talent like Trey Hendrickson or Jeffery Simmons

The NFL's best offense might be in Seattle, where the Seahawks' bet on Sam Darnold is paying off big-time, and JSN has been a revelation — and it's all unfolding counter to how you might think in a Klint Kubiak system. @natetice.bsky.social

Present me talking to August me

Feeling very good State by 17 at Kinnick

Was Tomlinator’s Andrew Berry side rant on Monday a tacit admission he knows his defense ain’t got it like years past? I’ll hang up and listen

Ravens are still winning this division

the most interesting thing about the penn state job that no one is talking about is the team has two home games left this year and they're against the clear-cut best candidate (cignetti) and the clear-cut favorite for the job (rhule) bsky.app/profile/lend...

Another @danwolken.bsky.social Penn State banger on candidates, vibes, definitions, expectations, the decision facing Pat Kraft, the decision facing fans, and how it all coalesces to shape the future

The best team in the NFL is the Kansas City Chiefs

Urban Meyer Joe Brady Curt Cignetti Matt Rhule Brian Hartline Eli Drinkwitz In some semblance of order, that's where I'm at

When the Cowboys signed Dak Prescott to $60M per year, Jerry Jones said they had the "structure" of a team to compete for Super Bowl titles. Prescott is living up to his end. Jones and the Cowboys are not. @yahooschwab.bsky.social Week 6 winners/losers

After falling to 1-5 on Sunday, Tua Tagovailoa went public with the Dolphins' issues — and in the process, dropped them right in the lap of team owner Stephen Ross. What will Ross do now? @robinsonreports.bsky.social

The Browns need to figure out what they have in their rookie QBs ahead of a deep 2026 draft class. But as the loss to the Steelers suggested, they might not be equipped to do so. @joriepstein.bsky.social

Pat Kraft crushed that imo

congratulations to taylor and to penn state

Btw going from leading Oregon in OT and perhaps moving up to No. 1 to firing your coach under historic calamity in the span of a mere 15 days is the type of thing that will never let you relax until the clock hits zero and you have more points than the other team ever again

Really good and really smart column from @danwolken.bsky.social on Penn State firing James Franklin, and why the $50M+ buyout is a price that both needed to be paid and also should never be paid again, at any school

James Franklin gave us so many good times. Gonna choose to remember those in the moment, and the fact that we're in position to take that final step because of the work he did off the field, even if he couldn't do it on the field

@ Brian Hartline does a number exist wherein you’d mortgage your college allegiances

Couple PSU thoughts, the morning after, for anyone who cares:

Watching Great British Bakeoff, college football is ruined for me (till next Saturday)

Treb is all of us tonight

Gutted for Drew Allar man

Playoff hockey is like a firing squad. Playoff baseball is like lethal injection but they can’t get the dosage right

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

"He’s another Ben Johnson." "Right away, you’re like, 'This guy knows his shit.'" "When I learned his age, I was like ... 'Show me your birth certificate, dude.'" You're gonna want to meet Declan Doyle, the Bears' 29-year-old OC. A @joriepstein.bsky.social banger

Remembered Penn State has a football game this weekend and got jumpscared

Peacemaker finale was anticlimactic in the best way, the show has a battered, beautiful soul, and I hope we get Season 3 even after paying off that killer final twist If the DCU is more like this (and the style of Superman, with hopefully more substance), we are cooking with gas

The Eagles,

Ah man I feel like hell for Orion Kerkering

Some good nuggets in this @robinsonreports.bsky.social NFL trade deadline primer piece, including - Browns likely aren't done - Don't be so sure Alvin Kamara is a prized trade candidate - A star defender with a *very* tradable deal whose name hasn't come up much yet

Some teams have played 5 games. Some 4. A quarter of 17 is 4.25. Ipso facto, time for NFL quarter pole awards! @natetice.bsky.social hands out ... MVP (still Josh Allen) OROY (Emeka Egbuka rules) Protector of the Year (who's only played 3 games) And so much more

When Papi said “One more! One more!” I damn near shuffled loose this mortal coil

⬆️⬆️ WEEK 5 VERTS ⬆️⬆️ - Bucs' offense looks Super Bowl-worthy - Let's relive the Jags' gloriously chaotic final drive - Lamar Jackson ain't fixing all that (probably) - 5 interesting data points, starring Eagles, Steelers and more @fourverts.bsky.social

Kevin Stefanski didn't answer a couple Shedeur Sanders-related questions Wednesday in light of the Joe Flacco trade. Tea leaves suggest it may be because Bailey Zappe is about to be named QB2 — and for reasons that are, well, reasonable. @robinsonreports.bsky.social

We've hit the NFL's quarter pole. So how's your team doing? @yahooschwab.bsky.social grades everyone out, from the six teams that received A-range grades to the three teams with Fs, including (Tenacious D voice) an F+. CLICK

If Aaron Judge finishes his career with zero World Series titles and I hear anyone go "derp in this franchise you're judged by—" I'm stuffing you in a locker

THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS ARE 4-1 MAN I CAN MULTITASK

It’s the Year of Our Lord 2025 and both Colts-Jags games are in December and currently projecting to be bangers

The new NFL logo

Relatable, Trevor

don’t want that hilarious game-winning drive to overshadow that harrison butker booting the ball out of bounds set the whole thing up

chris jones with the effort of the year

Greatest game-winning TD in NFL history

AWW YEAH GET YOUR CHIEFS REFS TINFOIL HATS BACK OUT

Fine, I’ll say it: Defensive Player of the Year Devin Lloyd

One last time

As Connor McDavid signs his contract extension remember arguably the best NHL prospect *since* Connor McDavid plays for Penn State and that is absolutely all you need to know about Penn State athletics at the moment

The Giants thought they were cruising to a second straight win with their young offensive talent helping lead the way. Then the difficulty of the NFL came for them hard, and now we get to watch how they respond to it. @jaybusbee.bsky.social
