Trinidad Chambliss jumped up into the student section, fans cheering and hugging him. He was overcome with emotion, yelling “HOTTY FUCKIN TODDY!” as he finished his TV interview.

The fated LSU-Ole Miss matchup was all about Lane Kiffin. Until it wasn't.

NFL Week 1 ratings dropped 13% from last year's opening week.

Despite the fall, this season's opener still remains the third-most-watched opening week for the NFL in the last 10 seasons, trailing only the last two years.

Sunday morning reading: Ndamukong Suh said at last week's @FOS Asset Class event that he nearly invested in the Seahawks with their new ownership group, from @BenHorney and me. https://t.co/K6nDmSY3w7

There are “deliverables” in LeBron’s deal with Polymarket. Posts like this are part of that.

At @FOS, we learned the terms of his endorsement agreement, which pays $15 million a year. He is not an investor in Polymarket.

As the NFL considers potential discipline of 49ers owner Jed York under the personal conduct policy, a range of outcomes remains possible, sources say. In @FOS. https://t.co/AVZWfHA1um

The NFL is likely—but not certain—to discipline 49ers owner Jed York under the personal conduct policy following his August arrest, sources tell FOS.

The sources say a range of outcomes remains possible, including a softened penalty if York steps away from the team on his own.

It was all about Lane Kiffin-until it wasn't.

The name on everyone's lips now: Trinidad Chambliss, who started in Division II and sued the NCAA to play this year.

"I’m so glad everyone is getting to see the next episode of the Trinidad Chambliss story." https://t.co/rZ69vAPNpt

Trinidad Chambliss stole the show during Lane Kiffin’s return to Ole Miss.

The Rebels quarterback engineered a stunning 32–24 win over his former head coach who recruited him.

He missed.

The NFL told teams they cannot sign Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who attempted to return to college football from the NFL and were not rostered at LSU, this season.

Wright's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, tells FOS that “Dae’Quan is looking at his legal options right now.”

The most painful part for Florida State is it could’ve won each of these last two games.

I asked Mike Norvell about the gap between winning and losing.

“..unfortunately the results have not been good enough.”

Jay Williams says “we all participated” in under-the-table cash payments before NIL was formalized.

Speaking at FOS’s Asset Class, Williams joked that it was “just in black duffle bags" before NIL became legal in 2021.

Attorney Tom Mars, who represented Trinidad Chambliss in his eligibility lawsuit against the NCAA, to @FOS after Ole Miss goes up 17-0 against LSU:

"I’m glued to the television at my home in South Florida. I’m so glad that everyone is getting to see the next episode of the Trinidad Chambliss story. I love the kid - and his mom. It was a real privilege to get to know them in their time of need."

NEW: Weather delays scrambled Saturday’s college football slate both on television and at stadiums.

NCAA has protocols for lightning delays that were followed in Tuscaloosa + Clemson. Meanwhile, ESPN switched game slate on the fly.

Dabo Swinney lives to fight another day—after yet another lightning delay.

“You don’t win many games like we just won,” Swinney said after their game vs. UNC.

Clemson has now experienced lightning delays in each of their first three games of the season.
