The James Franklin era at Penn State is finally, mercifully, over. The school fired Franklin on Sunday, less than 24 hours after an embarrassing home loss to Northwestern. Penn State became the first school in 30 years to lose back-to-back games as 20+ point favorites in both contests.
They inexplicably lost at previously winless UCLA on Oct. 4. That came one week after a heartbreaking overtime loss against Oregon. Saturday’s loss against Northwestern was the final nail in the coffin, bringing Franklin’s tenure to an end.

When the Dallas Cowboys signed Dak Prescott to a contract worth $60 million per season, Jerry Jones had a vision.
“We got the structure of the team in a place that gives us a shot to compete for the championship,” Jones said in September of 2024. “We’re going to be able to get players around him that give us a chance to compete for a Super Bowl.”
Prescott is living up to his end of Jones’ proclamation. Jones and the Cowboys have not.

It seems like there’s a call in every NFL game that makes you wonder whether the refs have money on a certain outcome.
The officiating crew for the Patriots game against the Saints produced one of those on Sunday.
There I was, enjoying watching a Patriots game for the first time in three years (beating the Bills in primetime when you’re not supposed to will do a lot to your morale). Drake May was cooking the Saints defense like a spicy pot of gumbo and dropping 50-yard bombs to DeMario Douglas.
Mac Jones could never. I’m glad we have him under center.
The wheels have completely come off for Penn State.
A week after losing to previously winless UCLA, when the Nittany Lions were at one point 26.5-point favorites over the Bruins, Penn State lost on Saturday to Northwestern at home. In that contest, the Nittany Lions were 21.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel.
While the loss to the Wildcats has fueled rampant speculation about the future of James Franklin, that game was not the only thing Penn State lost. Starting quarterback Drew Allar went down with a leg injury, one that Franklin has already indicated will end his season.

Bryan Danielson has discussed why he feels AEW’s style of wrestling is more exciting than WWE’s, and how wrestlers can bring their true selves to the characters they portray on screen.
Danielson has seen up close how AEW and WWE function, and seems to be a fan of how Tony Khan and co. run their promotion. In an interview with “Fightful,” he noted the major differences between AEW and WWE, particularly their wrestling styles.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams finished the first half with a goal-line stand and then Matthew Stafford guided them to a pair of touchdowns to begin the third quarter in a 17-3 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The Rams (4-2) weren’t at their best, but they didn’t have to be against a spiraling Baltimore team that was without injured quarterback Lamar Jackson for a second straight weekend. The Ravens (1-5) managed a field goal on their first drive and nothing more.
It was tied at 3 late in the first half when the Ravens had first-and-goal from the 4.
