Last week, NFL owners and league-office and team executives summited in New York at the annual fall meeting and, as usual, how the season has started was atop the agenda.
So how’s it going for you?
It’s a question I thought would be worth asking, given how many changes there have been over the past few years to how fans are being drawn to consume the game. Sunday Ticket is on YouTube TV now. More and more games are being streamed exclusively—including a whole package of Thursday night games on Amazon. And the push into the future won’t slow down anytime soon.

Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football, where this press conference repartee between Marcus Freeman and a reporter is one of the better moments of the season:
First Quarter: Top Coaches-Gone-Wild Moments | Second Quarter: October Revivals | Third Quarter: 2023’s Best (and Worst) Coaches
Fourth Quarter: The Ante Has Been Upped in Ann Arbor
Of all the eye-opening details in ESPN’s story Monday on problematic Michigan Man Connor Stalions (30), this one should reinforce a sense of immediacy and urgency to the the school, the Big Ten and the NCAA: “Sources co
Last week, NFL owners and league-office and team executives summited in New York at the annual fall meeting and, as usual, how the season has started was atop the agenda.

With seven weeks of the NFL regular season behind us, the haze is starting to clear. Draft positions are far from locked in, there is a pronounced handful of bottom-dwellers that have a real shot at the top two or three picks in this year’s draft and there’s enough time before the trade deadline to actually do something about it.
I am certain that talking about this is something that would aggravate the daylights out of a coaching staff.
Good day to you all, and welcome to this week’s edition of the Power Rankings.
A reminder that your fan experience directly correlates to your ability to handle success graciously. Each year, we see a team that had been stuck in the weeds for some time emerge with a modicum of knowhow, and each year we see their fans turn into semi-militant scream bots unaware of the fact that they’re spending a majority of their day turning themselves inside out on the internet for little to no benefit.
A second reminder: your team’s success may (and likely will be) temporary.
The Rangers punched their ticket to the World Series on Monday night with a dominant 11-4 victory over the Astros in Game 7 of an ALCS that saw the road team win every game.
It was a devastating loss for the Astros, who dropped the final two games of the series at home after battling back from an 0-2 deficit. Houston, of course, won the World Series last season and had played in it in three of the last four years.

The Red Bull driver’s return home is a major storyline for the Mexico City Grand Prix
Imagine, if you will, having the kind of season that Red Bull driver Sergio Pèrez is having, but seeing nothing but questions about your future every time you unlock your phone.
He is one of just three drivers to win a Grand Prix this year. He helped Red Bull to their second-straight Constructors’ Championship, and is sitting second in the Drivers’ Championship, having extended his lead over Hamilton while in Austin.
There’s no other way to describe it, last week was a disaster.
We went 2-6, dropping our season record back to dead even, 45-45.
But just in time for Halloween, I’m ready to get rolling with 11 winners for all of you.
Let’s get rich, kids.
Oklahoma at Kansas +10
Kansas has had two weeks to get ready for Oklahoma after a tough loss to Oklahoma State and I think the Jayhawks — and I can’t believe I’m saying this — will perform well at home, potentially having a shot to beat Oklahoma down the stretch.
On the very first episode of Devine Intervention, Dan Devine is joined by Jason Concepcion (Binge Mode, NBA Desktop, Six Trophies, etc.) to talk about their feelings around the New York Knicks.
A sign-stealing investigation is complicating Michigan’s national title hopes, but what other teams in the AP top 10 could make a championship run?
