Alabama is just over one week away from taking the field against Middle Tennessee State University and head coach Nick Saban is ready for one of the quarterbacks to take the job.
The ongoing conversation surrounding the starting quarterback position has been one of the main talking points around college football this offseason. But just because one guy is named the starter against the Blue Raiders doesn’t mean that guy will lead the Tide against Texas.

Many players do not like the FedEx Cup Tour Championship layout, including world number one Scottie Scheffler.
ATLANTA — World number one Scottie Scheffler does not appreciate the setup of the Tour Championship.
“It’s a bit of a strange format,” Scheffler said. “I feel like I’ve joked a decent amount about being number one, you don’t get any extra strokes, and then I show up this week, I do get some extra strokes. So it’s a bit strange, but it should be a fun week.

They may need to make another Angels In The Outfield movie after last night, because God knows this team needs it.
In what has been an absolute disaster of an end-of-season-run by the Los Angeles Angels, last night the team learned that Shohei Ohtani tore his UCL and sidelined from pitching the rest of the season. They also announced that Mike Trout is back on the IL after suffering another wrist injury.
You can’t make it up. I’m not even sure real angels can help this fanbase cope right now.

Will Levis loves mayonnaise. He loves mayonnaise so much that he puts a dash of it in his coffee. It’s a bizarre preference, one that only a white person could possibly have, according to Stephen A. Smith.
The ESPN host believes that it’s necessary to know that a person of any other race or ethnicity would never dream of putting mayo anywhere near a cup of coffee.
It’s truly profound stuff from Mr. Smith.
“Do y’all know he got a lifetime deal with Hellmann’s? That’s worse than that UFC fighter who had a lifetime contract with Popeye’s Chicken.

Trey Lance’s career with the 49ers is effectively over, but it’s been more a product of bad luck than bad play. Here’s a look at how the former star prospect got here.

ESPN’s Ryan Clark apologized on social media on Thursday after comments he made about Tua Tagovailoa appearing out of shape drew the ire of the Miami Dolphins quarterback.
In an appearance on NFL Live earlier this week, Clark said Tagovailoa “wasn’t in the gym” this offseason and criticized him for not “eating what the nutritionist advised” while describing the QB’s body as “thick” and comparing his body to a stripper. 
Tagovailoa didn’t take kindly to the comments, saying in a media session Wednesday that Clark should “keep my name out [of his] mouth”.

Shohei Ohtani’s free agency will now have complications. It won’t stop a horde of eager suitors, but it might change the shape of the two-way star’s eventual deal.

The 49ers have quite the dilemma on their hands.
With 17 days to go until San Francisco’s season opener against the Steelers, second-year quarterback Brock Purdy appears entrenched as the starter. On Wednesday, news broke that former Jets and Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold will serve as Purdy’s backup.
That would leave Trey Lance—the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft out of North Dakota State two short years ago—in limbo, with reports suggesting the 49ers would try to trade him.

Amid all the hand-wringing over Trey Lance’s failing to beat out Sam Darnold for the 49ers’ No. 2 quarterback spot and, thus, placing himself on the trading block, we are failing to recognize the root of the problem.
After the football world largely graduated intellectually from a phase in which we all blamed the lack of a draft pick’s success on the players themselves, holding them up to numbers and round standards they didn’t choose for themselves, we seem to have bolted feverishly in the other direction.
