Also, did you hear Brian Robinson got shot? I had never heard that before tonight! Wow! What an incredible story that I’d never heard before.… Read More The Bears Lost in the Most Bears Way Imaginable
I’m about to fire off some hot takes, here goes: The AP Poll itself is on FRAUD WATCH™: You think Texas is better than Kentucky? I do. I think they’re better than Cincinnati, too.

As for the top teams: Respect to: Head-scratcher… Read More Week 3 College Football Thoughts and Hot Takes: The Chaos Continues
Earlier in the week I did the AFC, now I’m doing the NFC. I did most of this before the games on Sunday but not all of it. For a lot of these I’m cheating because it’s already Sunday night.
