1. Through 1 game so far this season Watson has played pretty "shitty"
2. Watson will not be on the Browns team in 2027.
3. The Browns are a bottom feeder this season and won't be going to the playoffs.
4. There is suppose to be bumper crop of QBs in the 2027 NFL Draft.
5. The team that has the worst record gets the higher draft picks.
6. Why don't the Browns just bench Watson and play for the future, i.e. give the 3 younger QBs (i.e. Sanders, Green, and Gabriel if he comes back from injury) playing time and an opportunity to develop.

Northwestern extends coach David Braun through 2031​

Northwestern coach David Braun has agreed to a new contract through the 2031 season, extending his agreement by three years.

Braun is in his fourth season at Northwestern and third as the team's permanent coach. He took over as interim coach in July 2023 after the firing of Pat Fitzgerald, and was named permanent coach that November, before earning Big Ten Coach of the Year honors.

His original contract ran through 2028, and the extension includes a significant raise, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. Braun, 41, is 20-19 at Northwestern and last year became the first Wildcats coach to secure a bowl appearance in two of his first three seasons. His 19 wins and 11 Big Ten victories in his first three seasons marked the most by a Northwestern coach during that span.

"David Braun is the right leader today for Northwestern football and for the years to come," athletic director Mark Jackson said in a statement. "He recruits young men of high character who embrace our elite academic environment and who compete in the most competitive conference in the country. David develops our student-athletes at a time when retaining talent has never been harder, and they choose to remain Wildcats when other options appear. He does it with a rare combination of relentless competitiveness and integrity. He is everything that we need in a head coach."

Just sayin':
2023: 8-5, 5-4 (W Las Vegas Bowl)
2024: 4-8, 2-7
2025: 7-6, 4-5 (W GameAbove Sports Bowl)
"He's everything we need in a Head coach".....Going 19-19, 11-16 over 3 seasons is a pretty low bar.......

Temu Jerrah is actually giving Haslam too much credit….which is wild.

16-year-old Cavan Sullivan named to USMNT squad, Christian Pulisic left out​

Sixteen-year-old Philadelphia Union phenom Cavan Sullivan headlines the 28-player roster named by U.S. men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino for the upcoming FIFA international window, while AC Milan attacker Christian Pulisic was left off the roster.

Overall, the team named by Pochettino sees the U.S. manager stay true to his word that the group would consist of a mix of young and veteran players. There are a total of 13 uncapped players named to the roster.

"It's a completely different approach than it was in the past," Pochettino said from New York during an online news conference. "The World Cup is in four years. We need to work with different objectives and goals."

Detailed roster by position (Club/Country; Caps/Goals):​

GOALKEEPERS (4): Chris Brady (Chicago Fire; 1/0), Matt Freese (New York City FC; 19/0), Diego Kochen (Lyngby Boldklub/DEN; 0/0), Brian Schwake (Nashville SC; 0/0)

DEFENDERS (10): George Campbell (West Bromwich Albion FC/ENG; 1/0), Sergiño Dest (PSV Eindhoven/NED; 44/3), Alex Freeman (Villarreal/ESP; 22/3), Peyton Miller (New England Revolution; 0/0), Neil Pierre (Philadelphia Union; 0/0), Chris Richards (Crystal Palace/ENG; 40/3), Antonee Robinson (Fulham/ENG; 58/5), Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati; 41/3), Auston Trusty (Celtic/SCO; 10/1), Frankie Westfield (Philadelphia Union; 0/0)

MIDFIELDERS (9): Tyler Adams (AFC Bournemouth/ENG; 58/2), Mathis Albert (Borussia Dortmund/GER; 0/0), Sebastian Berhalter (Middlesbrough/ENG; 18/2), Zavier Gozo (Crystal Palace/ENG; 0/0), Adri Mehmeti (Red Bull New York; 0/0), Yunus Musah (AC Milan/ITA; 47/1), Brooklyn Raines (New England Revolution; 0/0), Gio Reyna (RC Strasbourg Alsace/FRA; 43/10), Malik Tillman (Bayer Leverkusen/GER; 35/5)

FORWARDS (5): Cole Campbell (SV Elversberg/GER; 0/0); Justin Ellis (Orlando City SC; 0/0), Julian Hall (Red Bull New York; 0/0), Ricardo Pepi (PSV Eindhoven/NED; 42/13), Cavan Sullivan (Philadelphia Union; 0/0)

Per ESPN: New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson, who missed the season opener due to an ankle injury, is set to return for Sunday's home opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "I'm ready to go. Thank God I'm healed up now," Henderson said Thursday. "I'm excited to be back out here with my teammates." The speedy Henderson, who totaled nine rushing touchdowns in his 2025 rookie season, injured his right ankle in practice Aug. 24. Henderson returned to practice this week. He was a full participant Wednesday and his ankle responded well.

Still can't believe Pete Carroll made the idiotic decision to give Chip $6 million a year to be his OC. Probably cost us a title last year and I'd rather have him than Art Smith if early returns are to be believed

Not sure he would’ve stayed anyway as I read he and Day drove each other crazy in this new dynamic and wanted to maintain their friendship.

THE SITUATIONAL: Always the Last to Know​

We've talked enough about Texas. Let's change the subject.
Remember Three’s Company? Great show. Single guy living with two attractive, platonic women for rent-covering purposes; overbearing conservative landlord, googly-eyed goofy building manager. Appointment television and wildly entertaining.
The show was famous for its escalating comic misunderstandings. There was one in every episode. Crazy amounts of tension and ridiculous circumstances facing our beloved protagonists, always as a result of their own actions. The tightening was palpable.
Mr. Furley would show up at a critical point and make his googly-eyed goofy Oh Shit face directly into the camera. The episodes weren’t all exactly the same, but they were thematically simpatico.
A COLLECTION OF MEMORABLE OHIO STATE FOOTBALL GAMES SINCE 2019

2026	TEXAS	23–3	4	13	0	21	L, 24–23

Every episode felt, you know, similar. The tightening. The clenching. The inability to deploy a shake-up of any kind to calm everyone down, reduce the pressure and eliminate the fear of making mistakes. Is Three’s Company a euphemism for the Buckeyes’ cursed field goal unit?
Ah, hell. I guess we haven’t talked enough about Texas. This one was special.

Ramzy gets it.

WOW! Nice pick up -- hard to be too upset with the way bball recruiting is going right now.

Kent State has a ton of famous alumni​

From athletes to comedians and entertainers, Kent State has a storied list of famous alumni.
Drew Carey, Arsenio Hall, Steve Harvey, Nick Saban, Lou Holtz, James Harrison, Julian Edelman, Antonio Gates, Michael Keaton, Jack Lambert, and Joe Walsh are just some of the celebrities who graduated from Kent State.
Edelman famously played quarterback before shifting to wide receiver in the NFL.

Kent State has a brutal football history

Historically, the Golden Flashes have been one of the worst programs in FBS Division I history. The Golden Flashes have an all-time record of 371-614-28 (.380) and are 1-4 in bowl games, with the lone win coming against Utah State and Jordan Love in 2019.
Of the 24 head coaches all-time, only six left the school with a winning record (Donald Starn, Trevor J. Rees, Don James, Dennis Fitzgerald, Glen Mason, and Darrell Hazell). They won one MAC championship in 1972.

One of the most electric players in football plays at Kent State​

If you don’t know who Da’Realyst Clark is, it might be time to get familiar. Not only does he have an awesome name, but he is one of the best kick returners in the country.
Last year, Clark recorded 16 attempts for 452 yards and two touchdowns as the Kent State returner. He also had three catches for 108 yards and a touchdown, and went 2-for-2 passing for 39 yards and a touchdown. He is due for a huge second season at Kent.

The head coach is not the Prime Minister of Canada​

If you Google ‘Kent State head coach’, Mark Carney will pop up. However, if you Google Mark Carney, you will get the Prime Minister of Canada.
If you want a funny coincidence, Carney is the 24th Prime Minister of Canada, while the other Mark Carney is the 24th head coach in Kent State football’s history. Carney is 6-8 as Kent State’s head coach since taking over for Kenni Burns, who went 1-23.

Black Squirrels run the campus​

If you step onto Kent State’s campus for 30 seconds, you will either see or hear about the Black Squirrels. Between the Black Squirrel Festival, the Black Squirrel 5K, and the numerous signs around campus, Kent State has embraced the squirrels as the school’s unofficial mascot. In 1961, KSU grounds superintendent Larry Wooddell and retired Davey Tree expert M.W. “Biff” Staples brought 10 black squirrels to Kent State, and they have been there ever since.

I'm actually surprised they are that high this week, After they lost to W.Mich. ( Yeah, they lost. screw the fucktards) they dropped out of the AP poll completely and were 24th in the coaches poll.

They should be higher than Ohio State. They're 2-0, we're 1-1.

Just to add my .02 cents….

Certain coaches possess a quality where even if they make a mistake or lose a game, you don’t really question their knowledge/ability. I think of a Pete Carol, Bill Belichek, Nick Saban, etc. type. They’ve all dealt with forms of losing throughout the years, but built enough credibility where they always get benefit of the doubt bc there’s a “mastery” of the game.

Day just doesn’t have that IMO….i can cite numerous examples (not knowing when to go for 2 after a TD, going for it on 4th down against Oregon too frequently early in career, not being aggressive enough last few years)…

He understands offense. He understands QB development……I don’t think he has a firm understanding of game management, clock management, and an overall pulse on things outside of offense. It may sound harsh, but I think it’ll be an issue that crops up throughout his career bc I don’t think u develop that, it’s something you basically have or don’t. Day gets second guessed constantly because he shows glaring weakness when it comes to situational football.

Click to expand...

Agree. He needs a bench coach like baseball.

In game management is a skill and he is mediocre at it (not as the HC of a major program like OSU-two different things).

He just isn't the guy who will take your roster and beat you with it by sheer guts and wile.

I think that is actually the cleanest way to sum him up at this point and why all the maddening losses (all like 3 to 5 of them) are so fucking maddening. Same can be said of many guys these days though (Sark especially comes to mind).
