App Nation is restless and losing patience with the Dowell Loggains Experiment. And for good reason.
A new low for a once-great show that was all about the best sport in the world. Now it’s about a clown.
Coach Saban knocked @PatMcAfeeShow to the floor after Pat picked Georgia to beat Alabama 😭
Safe home, Coach.
“What makes a man mythical? How does one become iconic? With Ditka, it was about toughness. Nobody ever symbolized toughness better.”
I absolutely promise you will not be disappointed by this @danpompei appreciation. Unlocked

Trump on the stump: Extreme lines, vague threats

Hmm. Trump often says he doesn't take any option off the table. Yet...

It's a tough watch
if you watched the NFL and thought something didn't feel right, you're not alone:
#1 most flags in over a decade
thru 4 weeks, refs are impacting the most CRITICAL moments of games most:
#1 most red zone penalties per game by offenses in history
#1 most penalties on 3rd/4th downs in the second half of games in history
and 17 touchdowns nullified by penalty! (vs only 5 in 2025 & 4 in 2024)
Refs are impacting the most important moments of games unlike we've ever seen before in the NFL, and even some of the coaches are speaking up
full analysis and historical data:

Just now: Trump didn't really deny it when @AndrewFeinberg asked if he was "throwing money at people" to get them to vote for Republicans in the midterms.
Trump on ensuring ‘dividend’ dollars spent at home: ‘It’s not going to be a big problem’ rollcall.com/2026/10/07/trum…
By defense spending standards—which are way out of wack and out of control—Trump is making a rather modest down payment to see if Anduril can show signs of being an exception, not another example of a too-slow and-costly rule, among U.S. defense manufacturers
NEW: "Today, we're officially launching the construction of the largest new shipyard in the United States."
President Trump kicks off construction at the Bethlehem Sparrows Point Shipyard in Baltimore, calling it the biggest new U.S. shipyard project since World War II.
"This is going to be some big yard."
One thing that will get missed in the social media back-and-forth about this and what he meant — and all the verbatim tweets — is a good chunk of the crowd cheered the line.

Rams had done basically nothing all day on offense. Suddenly, a 92-yard, 3:27 drive for a TD. One-score game heading into the magic (ratings) 4 o’clock hour. Imagine that. This League… @czabe
A wayward franchise stuck in i
the past, obsessed with uniforms and names.
From @BenHorney and me last month in @FOS: The Commanders say their limited sale of merchandise using the franchise’s old, controversial team name and logo (with a Native American man in profile with trailing feathers) in association with some former players is not an indication they intend to bring them back. frontofficesports.com/articl…
Colorado State is among a handful of FBS programs that should move to FCS.
