On Get Up, Damien Woody, Dan Orlovsky and Rex R
Dan Campbell was vibing after the Lions beat the Rams to get the season started.
The Lions needed overtime to punch out Matthew Stafford and the Rams 26-20. It was an ugly game, but a win is a win.
All that matters is who has more points on the scoreboard once the game is done. Doesn’t matter how pretty it is, and that’s good news for the Lions because it was a very ugly game.
Despite the poor play, Campbell was still very fired up.
Campbell is known for being a content machine.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield shines on a shoddy Sunday of NFL passing
If you are an NFL fan who loves the passing game, Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season was probably not for you.
Quarterbacks and offenses largely struggled, and passing statistics were down compared to recent years. In particular, passing touchdowns dropped when compared with previous years. As noted by NFL analyst Steve Palazzolo, with Monday Night Football pending NFL QBs combined for 33 touchdown passes during Week 1, compared with 37 a season ago, and 51 back in 2022.
What’s the excuse now, Deshaun Watson?
It cannot be rust anymore, because it’s been years since you joined the Cleveland Browns after being shelved by the Houston Texans.
It cannot be the weight of all those lawsuits for sexual harassment and an NFL suspension on your mind because that came in 2022, when you finally had a chance to start earning your milestone contract with the Browns.
And it cannot be an injury, like it was last season in which you were knocked from the lineup by series of curious circumstances, all of them concerning your throwing shoulder.
Oddsmakers don’t seem to think Wisconsin has much of a chance against Alabama.
The Crimson Tide are traveling to Madison for a Saturday showdown with the Badgers in what will be one of Wisconsin’s biggest non-conference games in program history.
Hype has already hit a deafening level. It’s all anyone in Wisconsin is talking about when it comes to college sports, and despite some fans behaving like absolute cowards, I feel like there’s always a chance whenever a team takes the field.
Oddsmakers feel a bit differently.
*I WILL BE AT THE WISCONSIN/ALABAMA GAME IN MADISON.
Could Saquon Barkley finish the season as RB1 i
The nightmare for Daniel Jones didn’t end when the final whistle blew in the New York Giants’ 28-6 home loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, it carried over into the parking lot as he was preparing to leave MetLife Stadium.
A large number of fans greeted Jones while walking out of the stadium on Sunday afternoon, with many of them calling him ‘Danny Pennies’ making fun of his ‘Danny Dimes’ nickname.

F1 heads to Baku with McLaren chasing Red Bull, Lando Norris chasing Max Verstappen, and Sauber chasing their first points of the season
What a difference a year makes.
The last time the Formula 1 grid was in Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the field looked a lot different than it does at the moment. In 2023 the Azerbaijan Grand Prix fell in April, as the fourth race of the F1 season, Red Bull arrived in Baku as the dominant force on the grid.
Mike Gundy wasn’t impressed with what he saw from the officials during a weekend win against Arkansas.
Oklahoma State beat the Razorbacks in overtime in what was simply an absurd and out of control game. It was almost a contest to see who wanted to lose more.
One of the major issues was the officiating was less than stellar, and the Cowboys were robbed on a false start call that should have ended the game in regulation.
