Petros Papadakis has never been more right about anything in his life.

One Foot Down I hate USC but I’m with Petros on this. Why anyone would destroy a rivalry like this is criminal.

Steven Adams today at shoot-around back in OKC… On his downtown mural: “I thought they would have tagged it up by now or put a bloody moustache on it… this was my home from when I was 18. Really cool that people still remember me”

Michael Jordan on if he still loves basketball: "I wish I could take a magic pill, put on shorts and go out and play the game of basketball today, because that's who I am. That type of competition, that type of competitiveness, is what I live for. And I miss it."

"He's doing something that's unfathomable" Deion Sanders with high praise for Shohei Ohtani and his World Series performances👏👏

Chet just flexed his Finals ring in front of three ringless HOFers

John Ris One Foot Down Such cowards. They never stop whining. They destroy the PAC and west coast football, but now the trips and the kickoff times are hurting them. They want to destroy the ND tradition too because they can’t win. Get over it! Get better at football! Lincoln Riley needs to go away

“It’s ridiculous… It’s embarrassing” Tom Izzo isn’t happy about Louisville signing a former G-League player

Everyone knows that Jimmy Sexton runs college football, representing coaches like Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Kalen DeBoer, Lane Kiffin, and Steve Sarkisian. But what you might not know is that Sexton also just negotiated Tony Vitello's contract with the San Francisco Giants,

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on state of the game: "We're still in an educational institution, but there is nothing educational about college basketball right now. It's all transactional. And we all put our heads in the sand." Sampson, Tom Izzo + John Calipari are speaking out."

Want to geek out on TV ratings data? Through CFB Week 8, there have been 27 games that got 5 million+ viewers. Distribution of games by network: ABC: 19 CBS: 3 FOX: 2 ESPN: 2 NBC: 1 Distribution of teams by conference: SEC: 32 B1G: 12 ACC: 7 ND: 2 Big 12: 1 (TCU vs. UNC)

The SEC has separated itself from even the Big Ten in viewership. On the other end, Big 12 viewership has fallen off a cliff. The highest Big 12 vs. Big 12 game so far was ISU-KSU in Week 0 (4.5M). That ranks 33rd. Only one other, T Tech-Utah (4M), is in the top 40.

I have to issue a correction to the above list by network. Should be: ABC: 18 NBC: 2
