We have unveiled a majority of the list so far, and Nos.
Thank whatever deity you pray to that a summer of realignment and NCAA legislation and every coach complaining about transfer portal tampering is mercifully over. Football is finally back, if only in the Week 0 variety to whet the palette. College football doesn’t have a preseason, but unless you’re a Ravens fan the last few years, the NFL’s preseason games aren’t worth watching.

Social media has been flooded with tributes for WWE star Bray Wyatt (real name Windham Rotunda) following his sudden death. The Rock, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, and wrestling fans around the world have shared heartfelt messages in reaction to the 36-year-old’s passing.
