The Saints will be without safety Marcus Maye for the team’s next three games, the league announced on Wednesday. According to an official statement from the league, Maye has been suspended for three games without pay for violating the NFL Policy on Substances of Abuse.

Marcus Maye of the New Orleans Saints has been suspended without pay for the next three games for violating the NFL Policy on Substances of Abuse.
Maye is eligible to return to the Saints’ active roster on Monday, Oct. 9, following the team’s Week 5 game at New England.

Nick Saban heaped praise on Deion Sanders, saying he has “a tremendous amount of respect” for the Colorado HC and calling him “a really good coach.

Justin Fields told no lies in calling out the Bears’ coaching staff.
The Chicago Bears are quickly turning into the saddest story in the NFL. Chicago hoped to make a big leap up the standings this season after finishing with the worst record in the NFL a year ago, but instead the team has been nothing short of a disaster through its 0-2 start.
The problems facing the Bears are so deep it’s hard to even know where to start. Quarterback Justin Fields has failed to take the next step in his development in his third season, and it feels like he’s actively regressing.

Watching Falcons coach Arthur Smith touch the top of his head in a panic—as the Fox broadcast crew questioned his decision to go for it on a gutsy fourth down—made it seem as if Smith had doubt in his players.
Perhaps Smith didn’t like that his offense rushed to the line of scrimmage on the critical fourth-and-1 play, but don’t let his sideline reaction fool you. Smith had faith in his inexperienced offense and displayed it throughout the 25–24 comeback victory against the Packers to improve to 2–0 on the season.

The death of a Patriots fan involved in a fight during Week 2’s game at Gillette Stadium on Sunday may not have been caused by a “traumatic injury” but rather an unspecified “medical issue.” That information was revealed in an autopsy, according to a statement from the Norfolk County district attorney’s office Wednesday.
Dale Mooney, 53, collapsed after a brawl with rival fans during Sunday night’s Dolphins-Patriots game. Witnesses, including a spectator who recorded video of the fight, said Mooney was punched at least twice in the head.

Justin Fields and the Bears have gotten off to a cataclysmic start in 2023 and the quarterback appeared to point the finger when talking to reporters Wednesday. When addressing the team’s latest loss against the Buccaneers, he talked about how he felt “robotic” on the field and that he wasn’t playing his game. He added that he’s at his best when he’s playing off of instinct and not thinking too much. 
Then he was asked why he was thinking so much and he emphatically said “coaching.

On the heels of a loss that dropped them into last place in the NFC South, the Panthers are now dealing with an ailment at the quarterback position.
Carolina quarterback Bryce Young missed practice Wednesday with an ankle injury, the Panthers announced that same day later in the afternoon.
In addition to updating Young’s status, Carolina indicated that it signed quarterback Jake Luton to its practice squad.
Young completed 22 of his 33 pass attempts for 153 yards and a touchdown Monday evening as the Panthers lost 20-17 to the Saints.

As promised, we are back for our weekly college football top ten.
Remember, these are not rankings of the top ten teams — at least this week they are not — but rather a list of some of the things we loved about the beauty that is college football from the past week.
Based purely on enough caffeine to cause serious health problems, and vibes.
Let’s get rolling.

Traditions are some of the best things about college football.

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce made history last season when they became the first brothers to ever face each other in the Super Bowl. 
Thanks to the great new documentary ‘Kelce’ on Amazon Prime, we were able to get a real behind-the-scenes look at what their seasons were like and how special the Super Bowl was for their entire family. 
We also got to see a very sweet moment just a few hours after the game when Jason Kelce went back to his hotel room and hung out with his wife and two young daughters. 
This interaction with his oldest daughter, Wyatt, was too good.
