In honor of #nationaljerseyday, I have photo documented some of my collection from the closet. These are either team issues or game used to the best of my knowledge and do not include any replicas I have.

This is the UCF collection.

I had to put my greyhound down today. She was a fresh 13 years old and a good girl. Ironically, today is three years to the day her best friend, my parents' greyhound, passed away.

It's our fourth greyhound over the years, but this part never gets easier.

2026 #CFF QB Rankings 🔥

● If you've never played College Fantasy Football you should start this season and join one of my leagues on Fantrax.

● I usually don't draft a QB early on but Brad Jackson should put up massive numbers for the Bobcats. I'm very high on Chambliss & Mestemaker and lower than most on Arch at #4.

● Dampier will provide unbelievable production as a runner and I have Leavitt 6th because usually Lane Kiffin QBs will put up big numbers in CFF.

● I'm higher on Josh Hoover than most of the industry at #7, While he's no Fernando Mendoza he is a Gun Slinger who can put up big fantasy numbers and he has two of the best WRs in #CFB.

● Mateer, Weigman, Szarka, Reed & Mensah all have Top 5 potential. Mensah has some incredible talent at WR, I have him 12th just because the Canes could be very productive on the ground with the elite RB corps they have in 2026.

● My range in #CFF is right here, 15-30 for my QBs. I load up at RB/WR/FLEX then get a QB late. Veltkamp at 15 and Minicucci at 16 both have potential to be Top 10 by seasons end. You can't go wrong with Dante Moore at 17, Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele at 23 or Julian Sayin at 24.

● Alonza Barnett at 21 is a player with a high ceiling and I believe Jackson Arnold at 28 could be a quality sleeper pick.

● I have CJ Carr at 33, If Notre Dame has to rely on him more this season because the rushing attack isn't as good then he has Top 15 potential.

● If you want a high upside late round pick, take Anthony Colandrea or Colton Joseph.

News: A tweak to the five-year eligibility proposal. The clock will start at the beginning of college enrollment (or 19), rather than high school graduation (or 19).

A result of key pushback from the hockey people and others.

@JWMediaDC In fairness, "fit" went out the window. It's about survival now.

Greg Sankey is critical of the bill “singling out” the SEC and Big Ten with the anti-expansion clause and reemphasizes he is against pooling rights. “We feel like it’s our right to make decisions on our media rights.”

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

The new wrinkle is that an athlete’s NCAA five-year eligibility clock would start either upon initial enrollment at any college or at the start of the academic year immediately following their 19th birthday. Whatever happens first.

The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact to be selected. This is this first time that the Bears’ board has voted on any stadium site.

As one source said, “There is more work to do but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal.”

@pigskinpetey I've seen four of these in person.

Big 12 tie-ins for the non-playoff bowls (in order of selection):

Valero Alamo Bowl
Pop-Tarts Bowl
Kinder's Texas Bowl
AutoZone Liberty Bowl
Cactus Bowl
Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl

Former Pac-12 teams (UA, ASU, CU, UU) are not included in the pool of teams eligible for the above bowls; they remain in the Pac-12 "legacy bowl" pool for postseason games that do include the Alamo Bowl--which is why BYU faced league mate Colorado in that game back in 2024.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Update: Per ESPN sources, all 16 Big 12 schools have now signed the CSC participation agreement.

I work from home, so it's just me and the dog during the day. She would randomly look out the window and bark at everything. She's a good alarm.

As we count down her final days, it's gotten eerily quiet in the house. No barking. Very little movement. Lots of sleeping.
