New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Wednesday he understands the recent criticism from owner Gayle Benson but asked for patience with what he called a "young developing team." Benson, in comments before the Saints (2-4) beat the New York Giants last Sunday, said Loomis and his staff are responsible for "building a roster capable of sustained success." The Saints, who haven't been to the playoffs since the 2020 […]

Ole Miss was the 2025 College Football Playoff Cinderella story, but its season easily could have gone the other direction. In Week 3 of the 2025 season, Rebels starting quarterback Austin Simmons sustained a knee injury and backup Trinidad Chambliss was called into action. Chambliss stepped up, leading Ole Miss to 10 wins in its next 11 games and a CFP berth. He then helped the Rebels blow out Tulane […]

Welcome to the Quarterback Notebook, where I’ll cover the past week in NFL quarterbacking — from the most interesting passers, plays and storylines to some other stuff that caught my eye while watching film this week. This week, we'll make an MVP case for Jordan Love, give C.J. Stroud his flowers, and take a look at the Eagles' new starting quarterback. Let’s talk quarterbacks. The MVP odds, with Love sitting […]

On Tuesday night, on the outskirts of central Paris, inside Parc des Princes, we witnessed a thrilling six-goal fixture between two formidable clubs. Paris Saint-Germain — the defending back-to-back Champions League title-holders — came out victorious in a 4-2 victory against Barcelona, and the evening gave us magical pieces of individual brilliance. From Desire Doué’s opener to Lamine Yamal’s surge inside the box and Vitinha’s half-volley finish, there was magic […]

Ohio State defeated Indiana in Bloomington last Saturday, getting revenge for the 2025 Big Ten championship game. But the Buckeyes might have bigger problems after starting quarterback Julian Sayin was injured. Sayin — who entered Week 7 tied for fourth with 17 passing touchdowns this season and ranked sixth among FBS quarterbacks with 1,772 passing yards — left the field and went to the locker room with about eight minutes […]

I might as well own this one: I was badly wrong. Predicting is not my favorite part of the job, but we were asked for a bold prediction in January, so I called for the Los Angeles Chargers to win the Super Bowl on their home field this season. Days before the season started, they asked for a Super Bowl prediction, and I doubled down, picking the Chargers to beat […]

Good players on expiring contracts on bad teams. That's what you're looking at when it comes to players who could potentially get traded ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Any talk of players changing teams at the NFL trade deadline has a distinct profile in mind, with contenders being willing to give up a better pick than bad teams can anticipate getting in compensation for waiting and losing players […]

Arch Manning remains the starting quarterback for No. 19 Texas despite the Longhorns' offensive struggles in consecutive losses, coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday. "There’s no doubt about it, Arch can play better for us, but he's our starter," Sarkisian said in his weekly news conference. "We need to see a better version of him this week." The Longhorns were No. 1 two weeks ago before suffering consecutive losses in the […]

Deion Sanders takes pride in one thing the Colorado Buffaloes aren't playing in the midst of a skid — the blame game. That sort of toxicity, the coach pointed out, has been cleaned out of the locker room. Sanders maintained Tuesday the team hasn't fractured during a four-game losing streak but remains fixated on changing their course of direction. "I'm trying to say this carefully. I got rid of that," […]
