“I think the winner, you can pencil into the playoffs at this point.” —@JoshPateCFB on the stakes of this weekend's Georgia vs. Alabama matchup 🔥 (via @RichEisenShow)

Miami fans are already upset and I can only surmise that is because deep down they know FSU is beating them and there’s nothing they can do about it.

On the edge of my seat and can’t even focus at work I’m so excited for Josh pate to break down the bama vs Georgia game tonight. It’s gonna be something like “ the model leans Georgia but I’m gonna pick Alabama I have no confidence so don’t be surprised if Georgia wins”

Legendary football coach Nick Saban tells Theo Von that he met his wife of over 54 years, Terry, in 7th grade science camp and opens up about not having much to do these days after retiring 😮❤️👀 “How did you propose to her?” “I think over the phone, if I remember right” “What? Like a recruiting call?” 😂😂

Biggest CFB overreaction has been _____

NEW: Nick Saban on NIL and boosters causing more head coach firings in College Football: "The cause and effect of paying players is we’re raising money from alumni who now think they should have a say in what happens, and that’s why 33 coaches got fired last year."

The NFL Referees Association believes the suspensions imposed by the NFL on two officials following incidents this past weekend were excessive and inconsistent with past precedent. Given these concerns, the NFLRA will challenge the severity of those suspensions and meet with the NFL Officiating Department to discuss the League's disciplinary standards. The association also plans to meet with NFL Players Association leadership to address on-field conduct and the growing levels of confrontation between players and officials. Statement from Scott Green, NFLRA Executive Director: “NFL officials have a responsibility to conduct themselves professionally on the field, and the actions in these incidents fell short of that standard. Accountability matters, but that should not result in discipline that is excessive or inconsistent with established precedent. “Officials are routinely subjected to highly charged interactions and, at times, verbal abuse from players and coaches. While that never excuses misconduct by an official, it shouldn't be dismissed as simply part of the game. The League expects the highest level of professionalism from its officials, and it should demand the same from everyone on the field. “We will defend the principle that discipline must be fair, consistent and proportionate. Holding officials accountable while ignoring or minimizing the conduct directed at them is neither fair nor an effective way to address this issue. We look forward to working with the League and NFLPA toward that shared goal.”

The flags are FLYING in the NFL this season 🚩 The NFL has seen the most accepted penalties through Week 4 since play-by-play data became available in 1978. Week 4 alone had 271 accepted penalties, the 2nd most in any week over that span.

Horrifying: Tyreek Hill's estranged wife, Lakeeta Hill, testifies under oath that Tyreek punched her in the stomach because he said he didn’t want to have a baby with her. There's no chance an NFL team will sign him.
