A wreck, a warning, and a week that needed normal—so we sat down and told the truth. The Yankees didn’t lose because of Aaron Judge; they lost because a contender acted like a spreadsheet.

From there, it’s a full tour through a spicy college football slate. Ohio State’s offense vs Illinois discipline. Alabama–Missouri in a point race with the game possibly decided by the last clean mistake. UCLA crossing time zones to face Michigan State and the reality of travel tax. Indiana’s prove-it trip to Oregon—no one needs an upset, they need respect. Red River turns on Texas’s lines and an unvarnished look at Arch Manning’s development curve. We talk buyouts, NIL math, and why Penn State’s problem is as financial as it is on-field. Georgia’s search for identity, Florida’s volatility against A&M’s leaky defense, and Michigan–USC as a collision between a soft secondary and a soft front.
