I would take @Lj_era8 at No. 1.

@ESPNBooger Yessir, that ship sailed when Cal and Stanford joined the "Atlantic Coast Conference"

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

Bucs are just good enough not to sell, but not good enough to buy.

They were never gonna make any moves at the deadline.

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

Instead of fully embracing the rebuild, the Colts decided to hold onto their most valuable trade asset.

My latest for @AthlonSports on a puzzling decision in Indy:

There are plenty of big-name QBs eligible for the 2027 #NFLDraft, but some of them would be better off coming back for another year of college experience before making the jump to the #NFL.

Take a drink every time an insider says "standout" today

Eric Metcalf

[Emmit Douglas @emmitonair]

Deion Sanders, Devin Hester, and Cordarrelle Patterson aren’t available.

Who’s returning your kickoff with 10 seconds left and your team down 6?

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

Josh Johnson is inevitable

Josh Johnson is eternal

@TampaBayTre AND EMW

Another 1st-round pick is changing hands, which means it's time for an new mock draft.

@BMeek23 I just think it's unnecessary to go to 24 at all. It takes away the value of the regular season, takes away the conference title games, and doesn't bring anything of value substantial enough to offset those things.

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

Oh, I'm sure it'll survive in some form. But there was a way for it to thrive, and it's a bummer we won't get to experience that version.

@LukeEasterling College Football epitaths have been written for decades, still seems in pretty good shape to me. It survived conference championships, under the table payments to players, NIL, legal gambling, illegal gambling, and it will survive 24 game playoffs.

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

@BMeek23 Losing the conference title games sucks. The more they expand the playoff, the more the regular season loses weight. It won't matter who loses those big conference clashes in November anymore. We don't need 4 3-loss SEC & Big Ten teams in a playoff.

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

@BMeek23 I should have said "ruined" instead of "killed" in the OP lol

I don't think it'll die, but we could have a much better version that served all parties (fans, players, schools, etc.) better instead of just the TV networks and conference heads

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

@BMeek23 This is all subjective. Most of the folks I see and interact with regularly, and myself, don't enjoy the game as much as we used to because of conference consolidation, regular-season dilution, etc. It's okay if that's not true for you, but this is just another bad change, IMO.

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

@BMeek23 Okie dokie

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

@BMeek23 I mean, it's already not fine, lol. This will make it worse. It'll still be there, and people will still watch, but I'm not gonna pretend the product is the same.

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

Gladstone be like "y'all just gonna bitch about my draft picks? FINE. I WONT HAVE ANY"

"It's more frustrating to get so close & feel like you are right there and you just can't do it" @LukeEasterling on the Bucs falling short last night in Chicago 27-24.

[Luke Easterling @LukeEasterling]

From a boring scheme and poor quarterback play to personnel issues and inconsistent protection, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' passing game is canceling out a strong rushing attack and dominant defense.
