The 2026 NFL trade deadline was on Tuesday, and it sure was busy. There have been 18 completed trades since the start of the regular season, which included 23 of the 32 teams and 34 total draft picks changing hands (tied for the fourth most in the last 35 years).
QB Kirk Cousins going from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Minnesota Vikings to instantly supplant Carson Wentz and/or Kyler Murray as the team’s starter was one of the biggest moves.

Florida State men’s basketball head coach Luke Loucks walked away from Tuesday night’s 81-72 loss to the No. 1 Florida Gators, believing his program is closer to competing at the highest level than the final score might suggest.
Despite the Seminoles (2-1) suffering their first defeat of the season, Loucks used his postgame press conference to draw an interesting comparison between his rebuilding efforts in Tallahassee and the success Todd Golden has established in Gainesville.

Emmanuel Acho described the Philadelphia Eagles’ decision to trade Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars as a robbery, questioning the value Jacksonville surrendered to acquire the defensive tackle. The former NFL linebacker praised general manager Howie Roseman for securing significant draft compensation in exchange for a player whose departure could benefit Philadelphia’s long-term plans.
The blockbuster deal sent Davis to Jacksonville in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round selection.

Tuesday night in Chicago was supposed to be the beginning of Mark Pope’s redemption, and Kentucky basketball was supposed to be back. At the end of the night, the Wildcats had been blown out by Kansas 89-69, Pope had no answers, and Big Blue Nation was angry.
Kentucky started hot, but early foul trouble for Malachi Moreno led to a Kansas run that the Cats never recovered from. Milan Momcilovic never got going, and scored just 5 points. Alex Wilkins also struggled. Kentucky turned the ball over too much, failed to find any flow on offense, and even shot poorly from the free throw line.

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz and Wake Forest coach Jake Dickert are now asking a question about college football’s impending 24-team playoff era that might be on more and more people’s minds across the next 12 months. What’s the point of conferences without conference title games?
As part of college football’s move to double the size of the playoff field starting in 2027, conference title games will be no more. Since there are more teams and more games in the playoff, there needs to be more time available for the playoff.

The deadline is done, and NFL rosters are more or less set for the remainder of the season. We didn’t get an earth-shattering buzzer-beater that will reshape the league, but some pretty significant deals took place which will impact the race to the playoffs.
Making deals at the trade deadline is always a fascinating push-and-pull. Teams need to balance confidence in their ability to compete right now with potentially sacrificing too much down the road, should things not pan out.

Every year it feels like we hit the midpoint of the NFL season and say, “This is the wildest season we’ve seen.” Football has been blessed with incredible parity in recent years, leading to a scenario where the league can fully embrace the idea that anything can happen from week to week. This means stunning breakout performances, and also crushing disappointments.
It’s those disappointments we’re focusing on today.

We have reached the midway point of the 2026 NFL season.
And it is time to look at some true Super Bowl contenders.
These are the teams in both the AFC and the NFC that, at least right now, look like true contenders for a title. Could a team not on this list make a run? Absolutely, that is the nature of sports. But right now, these are the 11 teams you could make a case for.
Along with the biggest question they will need to answer over the second half of the season.

AUSTIN – While I got ya, here are nine things and one crazy prediction:
1. A Longhorn for the Heisman?
I know. Very unlikely. But Texas linebacker Rasheem Biles is Heisman-quality. He is the best linebacker in college football and, since edge rusher Colin Simmons went down with his high ankle sprain three games ago and played only sparingly in the win over Missouri, has been Steve Sarkisian’s best player.
