ESPN ladies - Smith Briscoe Rutledge Qerim Cornette Steele Alexander Duncan Dolan Cohn

ESPN Fantasy Football marathon is upon us we're going to dive in throughout the next hour here on NFL live but also Justin Herbert back on the practice field this week does his fantasy value take a hit in Jim Harbaugh's run heavy offense plus someone here thinks Anthony Richardson should be a priority when drafting a quarterback to your squad that despite the Colt signal caller only playing two full seasons uh two full games last season excuse me and puka AA came out of nowhere last year but to be a top five fantasy wide out ahead here we're going to give you the late round guys you need to draft if you want to take home the title we're getting your fantasy squads ready to go and look who's here it's Ryan Clark he was in this seat earlier today and now you're in that seat but you could be in this seat it's kind of like the same but different we might switch later on in the show Adam shf field coming up on first take the Falcons are sold on Michael penck Jr after just one preseason game but someone here says penck should be getting more reps we'll explain that later plus how good will that Kansas City offense be this year after picking up a few more pieces to their wide receiver group we'll dive into the reigning Champs after this quick break come on back we welcome in ESPN bet analyst Aaron Dolan let's check out all the QBs with the passing yard props over 4,000 I want to know Aaron who are you betting against so I'm looking at Tua to go under 4,000 a half passing yards while he led the league in passing yards last year that was great what really comes down to it with Tua is health and availability yes he played 17 games last season but if you look back here and knowing that offensive line isn't that great I do think Tua will go under his passing yards prop for this upcoming season I am a little surprised at the Tua Pig being that he passed for over 4600 yards last season but I trust you number I trust you I can't trust him to play an entire season with the health that's true that's true and you mentioned the offensive line as well deak Prescott also on that list let's take a look at all of his props and which prop here is your favorite for de so I'm going to go over his interception prop of N and a half now last season he was okay he ended with nine interceptions but that was the lowest interception rate that we've seen for him so far meanwhile if you look back you look back at just him compared to some of these other players like Jared goof and whatnot it's just something that they throw the ball all the time and let's say CD lamb ends up holding out that could also create some issues if he's trying to find some other wide outs there so I do like him to go over nine and a half interceptions this up season a lot of factors there with that Prescott and those interceptions Aaron propping us up as usual here on Sports Center Aon thanks so much into sports center we got a jam-pack show for you here for this a busy weekend in the NFL is it Nick's time in Denver and wait until you hear what Tua had to say about his Old Coach plus we've got you covered from the Little League World Series as Kevin returns to the scene of a place where he murdered an Italian Suit 6 years ago he joins us from Williamsport hey how are you uh it is right now okay the skies are a little bit clear we hope for this and he joins us now with much more as we get ready for that Marathon I want to look at the average draft position right now CMC going first overall that's not a h huge shocker who do you think right now is being overvalued all right I want everyone to hold on to their bites when I say this because I'm going to go to the tight end position and talk about a guy who has been the top Travis Kelce let's go Oppo then give me somebody who you don't think is going early enough all right I'm going to go to the running back spot because I absolutely love what's I mean d is 30 but we tend to see them fall off a cliff the great thing about you Daniel is anybody can tell us you should draft this guy or that guy Patrick Mahomes is good you always find Value give me some guys you're looking for right now that you think have great value all right so this one hurts me cuz I'm a lions fan but Jaden Reed was really a really nice qb1 all right he's had his Muscle Milk he stretched creatine whatever it is that you need to do for this 27-hour fantasy football Marathon which literally starts in under 10 minutes right here all right so there's the head coach there Robert Salo likes how his quarterback handles the football and practice drills overall Damian Woody our NFL analyst here in studio but there's a much different feel to the Jets this year in the preseason right last year you had people waiting with baited breath breath for Aaron Rogers to make his debut you had Hard Knocks in the house there was so much attention on this team how do you process sort of where they are in terms of their preparation with a little bit less of a spotlight on them this year yeah I think Rober solo they do have to stay healthy back with you in a moment Daman amina's got more on the Jets all right let's bring in our senior NFL Insider Adam Sher we know that Aaron Rogers he's going to need those weapons on that offense to step up talking about Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall what are you hearing about how those two are preparing for the season well I mean it is the fancy football Marathon here right now and these two are both poised for stardom especially if Aaron Rogers can stay healthy you mentioned the fantasy football Marathon taking place right now Hall is the second rank fantasy running back behind Christian mcaffry and Wilson the seventh rank wide recer ad Adam shefter with the ladies we have more from you in just a bit so Damien you have seen greatness up close when it comes to the quarterback position during your time in the NFL of course uh Caleb Williams has been playing very well in the preseason in fact Tyreek Williams basically comparing him to Patrick momes what's the best thing you've seen out of KB so far well he's been as they've had a franchise quarterback and you're 100% right about that with Caleb Williams how is he going to respond is he going to be on schedule how is he going to respond to adversity right because the preseason is very different from the regular season let's talk about this division though the black and blue division the NFC North what kind of ceiling do you see for the Bears just overall but obviously playing in a very very tough division yeah this this bear this we'll see Damen Woody uh thank you so much the Bears are plus 300 to win the NFC North and we'll have more from you in a bit yep that was fun ESPN new Georgia Insider Luke Bryan okay we are in the midst of the fantasy football Marathon highlighting the time of year year when everyone is looking for an edge as they prepare for their Fantasy Football Draft looking to win a championship in your league or leagues this year then take a listen to the advice of our fantasy football Insider field Yates that is an important distinction that we just heard from Kevin stefansky all of the starters will play and he opened the door to DeShaun Watson possibly not playing now Damen Woody are NFL analysts here in studio I was with the Browns last week for joint practice I is with the Vikings it sounded a lot more settled back then Kevin stefansky saying that deshun Watson would play in the final preseason game against Seattle now it seems like that's not possibly happening uh DeShaun Watson hasn't played at all in the preseason hasn't played since November 12th of last year what's your level of concern right now I mean listen I'm 2020 with the Houston Texans but that was some time ago if he plays anywhere near that I mean you're talking about a Cleveland Browns team that could make fans would love to see DeShaun Watson on the field taking real reps certainly with his full compliment of receivers Jerry Judy Amari Cooper Elijah Moore they haven't been really together too much at at Camp so we'll see what happens there that Damen Woody thank you so much and we go from a hold in to a hold out to back a hold in with Jamar Chase what is the latest happening with the receiver well I mean at least he was back at practice present there left and Brandon iuk and CD lamp play for teams who have been working to resign them Jamar chase is on a team where the president has already said that he thinks that he needs Jamar Chase to have the kind of season that the Bengals would hope to have and you mentioned Brandon auk as well his offseason has been a roller coaster figuring out what his contract extension is going to be if he's going to be with the 49ers what's the update there listen these two sides have gone back and forth the for shakes out this upcoming week yeah I know 49ers fans hoping to see Brandon iuk still in that uniform on the field we've had some good news and bad news as well especially when it comes to injuries in the preseason what can you tell us about a couple big names that have coming and going well we've got a lot of injuries so far that have mounted up this pre-season and we're going to start with Marquez Valdez scandling of the buff good news that he's back at practice and on track to play in that opener but planter fascia I'm telling you that lingers around hopefully you know it doesn't hurt him for this season Adam schfer with the latest thanks so much on the field and the commanders they just named Jaden Daniels as they starting QB on Monday and all the focus has been on the rookie QB however let's go through all the skill positions who are some of your favorite rookies in terms of fantasy draft going into this one we can't help ourselves we still do have to mention one quarterback and it is Jaden Daniels and I'm just here taking notes for my own fantasy league because you're giving me all the inset right here I saw Michelle steel over there taking she's taking you know why cuz I need the help look she said it she said it at the beginning of the show field will join us every Tuesday throughout the regular season for his Fantasy on the field segment targeting waiver wire pickups all throughout the season field thank you so much for joining us for that ESPN bet analyst Tyler fulum here with us in studio and the bills they've dominated the AFC East for the last several years winning the division the last four years however who do you have as your best bet to win the AFC East this season got to get out oh we got the pointer out the trusty pointer for the touchcreen uh Bill's yes the favorite but I'm actually going with the team Amina that is getting more bets and more money at ESPN bet than any other this divin 85 to win the AFC East I stand with America yeah if Rogers stays healthy that's the big thing for me that's what we're gambling on look and G it has changed a lot with the Buffalo Bills and the Dolphins and of course with Aaron Rogers in that division as well Tyler f with the latest don't go anywhere more from you in just a bit got it we welcome an NFL reporter Jeff Darlington and Jeff you covered this dolphin scene when Brian Flores was the head coach down there and a lot of a lot of things to unpack when you hear that sound but what do you make of this situation well it's interesting starting to surface between these two stay right here on Sports Center to hear if Mike McDaniel views this as a distraction he talked to our very own s pal Antonio Jeff Darlington with a little bit of insight right there Jeff will'll have more from you in a bit since bucks joint practice with us right now and a lot of talk about Tu Tong of vioa and Brian Flores how Ral you spoke to head coach Mike mcdan and players early earlier this morning what do they have to say about this situation Amina likewise and that is the question that everybody is asking why now why did Tua decide to speak up on that situation at this point south pal Antonio in Tampa Florida ahead of dolphins bucks preseason action on Friday s thanks so much let's bring in our guy Booger McFarland who joins us right now and booger we've heard from tuong of vioa we've heard from Brian Flores now from Mike McDaniel some players as well what do you make of this situation down in Miami well hopefully on the field booger with some insight but don't go anywhere we've got more from you in just a bit all right Booger McFarland back with us booger when you hear what the quarterback and the head coach are saying uh we just heard Roberts Alis say he's got that arm his strength is back his Mobility is there what could that indicate about what the Jets how the Jets look right going into this season well right there the success of the Jets this season absolutely hinges on what Aaron Rogers does and how healthy he can stay let's stick with the quarterback because there's another ongoing QB St all right Booker let's put your head coaching cap on if it was your decision if it was up to you which quarterback would you be starting for the Steelers we have breaking news on Sports Center right now involving the for Bo Knicks Booger McFarland thank you as always WNBA reporter Angel gray the acees currently set at fourth in the standings what is about Las Vegas right now that has them looking like the title team in the W on one roster is completely insane should the aces win it all they would be the second WNBA team to three repeat the Houston Comets won four titles in a row from 97 through 2000 let's go back to tonight's match up this will be the third meeting between the Aces and the links this season what makes Minnesota such a challenge for Vegas they you excited for tonight's match up then I don't know what will you can see more of Angel great tonight on ESPN Links at Aces tip off is set for 9:30 p.m. Eastern Angel thanks so much for joining us all right Tyler full jump back here with us on Sports Center and you heard a heavyweight match up between the Aces and the links what's your best bet for tonight's game yeah I think the links are the play here to cover seven and a half they are a seven and A2 Point Underdog so we don't need him to win we just need him to lose by seven or less but as Angel pointed out they've been tough cover margin in the WNBA so one team Minnesota has been really really good to betters another team Las Vegas has been really really poor to betters I'm going to go with the team that's been good to betters all season long and we also just heard Angel talk about the aces having a chance to make history in 3p talk about those future title odds who do you like better there Minnesota or do you like the aces now if we're talking about winning the championship that's a different conversation cuz I would side with the Las Vegas aces in that regard they have that Championship pedigree they have the best player in the entire world in that's a smart bet to put I mean come on it's the Las Vegas Aces the best person best player in the W Asia Wilson you can't go wrong Tyler ful with all the Insight thanks so much no problem on that note time for another edition of Darlington dishes Jeff what are you dishing out on Star wide receivers across the league seeking new contracts and you you got to start here with CD lamb yeah look we've got three uh I know that you can spend any number of items on Darlington dishes centrifugal force yes yes uh well versatility is the name of the game in the media business and they asked me what I wanted to spin today and I said as a joke oh are you going to try as a joke I said pancakes now my producer did not take that figuratively she took it literally so we've got a little pancake here and um oh just get on there go oh no that's not it you got you got to get the you got to get the kind of the gravity going all right you just gotta I'm gon I'm gonna come up to Bristol and give a whole a whole Symposium on how to spin things right right through the pancake that's how we do it that did not that did not work out very well that's how it happens well one of us is talented Jeff Darlington with the latest thank you Rea Rebecca Lobo is is here now so the Difference Maker for this team tonight against an Aces team that was fully loaded full strength what was it I mean Minnesota did tonight what we've seen them do throughout the course of the season that's given them so much success and so flown under the radar there are other team teams in the league that we spend a lot of time on obviously the aces are among them the Liberty too why do you think that has been that way for the links I think one of the reasons you have a Vegas Aces team that is a two-time defending Champion you have a new 9887 win tonight on the home floor of the opposite team that is Rebecca Lobo joining us so let's also figure out who it actually was what what is going on a couple things here first of all where do you want to start first of all look if you've been to Southern Florida you know what the Community can do to hair so he he's done with the jail he's like this is just going to be it I'm I'm with that natural Vibes secondly because it is Miami it reminds me of he looks like a character from Mii Vice like he's the he's the club owner who's an informant for Sun and Crockett but he's he's legit there are some serious vies coming up on this addition of sports center Russell Wilson's not done after a disappointing preseason performance while the quarterback says he will be back on the field Saturday got it and because the NFL is officially back in 15 days we needed Patrick momes worth of moments to help us count down to that opener and how about this drama in Atlanta late inning heroics and why the star down from Orlando ARA highlights from a crucial division matchup coming up Brave trying to close that Gap the Phillies in the East is that how you stare scared Rugby teams have 15 players Scrabble board it's 15 by 15 and when you play back Amon you start with 15 Checkers and 15 is now significant number for all of us in our current national nightmare all right full disclosure I didn't know some of those things about the back am and your explain Scrabble it's about spelling that part I do know's a word L the number 15 is significant and the national nightmare she's referring to because that's exactly how many more days our football C Society has to wait for the kickoff of the 2024 NFL season so with that number in mind and with a shout out to Sesame Street this highlight is brought to you by the number 15 featuring some of the most memorable Moments by players wearing number Brisco Brisco and Brisco has been very busy this evening deep diving down that rabbit hole that is freeze lore you know the blue Speed Demon that has been part of Braves lore since like 2017 now the concept is like super simple it is man versus the freeze you you just have to beat the freeze standard foot race mere mortals even get a head start the problem is the freeze is like really fast and according to Brisco Brisco and Brisco freeze doesn't lose like once in the last four years twice like ever but much like the research from Brisco Brisco and Brisco the freeze is not perfect so NFL Insider Adam schfer who joining us now and there was a trade in division involving the commanders and Eagles Adam what more can you tell us about this well sh a rare inad division trade they don't happen often but they just over a thousand yards and 11 touchdowns again a first round pick out of Penn State back in 2022 Adam shefer will'll see more of you in a little bit thank you Christina yeah with us right so Philly adding now a lot to their receiving core how does this help Jaylen Herz in the Eagles offense yeah so Philadelphia now has the best Trio of wide receivers probably in the NFL I mean AJ Brown in and of himself is an incredibly difficult matchup just because of his physical presence and a lot of guys can't do that and then Devonte is one of the best route Runners he demanded to be maybe the primary or number two Target and Kell Mo their new offensive coordinator has somebody that can really be the third or even fourth pass caption option outside of Dallas GD yeah so we won't evidently see him with the commanders that means we won't see him with jadden Daniels how does this impact the commander Sky yeah I don't love it for Jaden Daniels you know because I was going to really Bank on Terry McClaren and Johan Dodson so it makes me think where those are going to be the two guys that really are going to have to step forward for Jaden Daniels you know this offense under Cliff kingsberry is not one that is going to do a ton of different personnels or a ton of different formations and motions to help guys with matchups or leverages is it is a little bit of like hey go win one-on-one or get into space so dami Brown Luke mcaffrey they're going to have to prove for Young quarterback outside of Terry that they're viable pass catching threats yeah and like and Shifty just mentioned it's rare to see this kind of trade but they will match for the first time November 14th Philly against Washington Dan stand by Shay Adam sh back here with us and look this is a quarterback battle that we've been paying attention to and probably the one that's been highlighted the most what more can you tell tell us about this QB battle and when we might have a decision shefy we sh out to last year but we remember Wilson set out the last two games for Denver so he hasn't started a game since Christmas Eve it has been a minute Adam shefer we'll talk to you later on thanks cheffy we appreciate it Christina what do you need to see from Justin fields for him to win the job will he trust himself I think that's the big challenge for Justin it's a little bit because of his past maybe in Chicago and there are some people and there's maybe some evidence of like hey does Justin necessarily see the field exactly the Right Way teammates too right in those situations yeah we'll have to see if he gets the start because Tomlin will name a starter eventually the Steelers I would start them you would start him I would start Fields I would start him week one of the Season okay yeah that that week one uh for them September 8th at the Falcons Dan we'll be back with you later on no thanks how the Steelers seem to have a real situation on their hands as we say hello to our Steelers reporter Brook prior who joins us now from Pittsburgh and we just heard you talking to Justin fields of course and you were at Mike tomlin's meting availability today what more did he say about the plan for the quarterbacks under Center on Saturday well Shay Justin Fields said that we needed earlier we were talking to our Dan Orlowski and he says he believes that Justin Fields should or will start for the Pittsburgh Steelers and I know Saturday is going to be kind of the dress rehearsal in terms of the quarterbacks and what's going to happen but Brooke you've been around this team so much during the off season what is the inkling you're getting in terms of who will start week one against the Falcons this is the quarterback controversy or competition I should say that we've all been keeping an eye on for the entirety of the offseason and it sounds like it's going to continue Brooke prior we appreciate the Insight thank you yeah and our sports betting analyst Aaron Dolan also keeping an eye on this Aaron as we wait for a QB decision here with the Steelers what's one way you would play the Steelers Futures market so I like the Steelers under eight and a half wins despite who's going to be under center for the Steelers I know this QB controversy has been one to follow but regardless of it I think they go under their win total reason being with win toal we always want to look at the schedule so let's take a look at that they have the third toughest projected schedule this upcoming season they have six games against their divisional opponents which is already difficult enough theyve games against Dallas the Chiefs the Jets this is going to be so tough for them even if they do have a good defense and if they're K during the games against their divisional opponents I just think this is one of those offensive lines that isn't as good as people suspect it's going to be and on top of that I will say on ESPN bet people are liking the over for the win total but that's not too surprising because Mike Tomlin we know he's never had a losing season in his career but I think this is the one season that we finally see it so I'm going to go under eight and a half total wins okay very interesting Aaron Dolan come for me Pittsburgh I am from PA of course so she would know Erin thank you so much and like like pressure of course of being the first rookie to start for Denver since like 1983 uh what have you seen this preseason though from him that's impressed you so far yeah he makes the right decision quickly and that's a huge deal for a quarterback in Shawn Payton's offense it's not the basis of Shawn Payton's offense their head coach and play caller Rhythm he allows them to stay in Rhythm I think it's a really good situation for Bo Yeah you mentioned him not having any sacks no picks either in the preseason so all these things are positive let's stay on the positive train here and go to another rookie quarterback and that would be Caleb Williams will not play in the Bears preseason finale I don't think that's surprising to anyone but so the first time we are going to see Caleb Williams under Center will be September 8th against the Titans and he's drawing some lofty comparisons I'm not I'm not going to say itk but nonetheless what do you like what you see yeah I think the big thing is he's shown a good understanding of what defens are should also marry it with that true understanding of defenses and timing I think he's set a good foundation for that in the preseason I like what I hear at USC by the way Caleb Williams 12 and0 with 33 touchdowns and only two interceptions when his team allowed 30 points or less meaning when he's not chasing points don't chase points hard to very good uh I just like the positivity here Dan thank you it's a good day you know with college football kicking off in two sleeps my big 10 brain is still trying to understand how different it's going to look or how tiring it might feel for some of these student athletes CU UCLA's frequent flyer is set up for success with the Bruins traveling over 22,000 miles this season that's 10,000 more than their opponents and it's not close Washington is the next most frequent flyer with just over 16,000 miles and then there's the ogs of the Big 10 like my alma moer there Indiana who travel the least out of any big 10 School my hoer set to travel less than 5,000 miles this season it's not really Balan balanced but will the competition on the field be that's the question here's Kevin nandhi with more numbers for you right we're just keeping it Demir here on Sports Center welcome in PTI is coming back they're going to discuss the NFL contract negotiation they're most concerned with plus we had a rare inivision NFL trade did the Eagles offense just get better I think there's a guy in Williamsport who probably says yes Kevin De Gandhi and that Kool-Aid smile anchors our coverage from man if he can't do it well a lot of people could bunch of people can Dan orlovski joining us now um we did hear eron Aaron Rogers earlier in the week acknowledge that he's feeling good but it would be nice to get his first hit out of the way what do you make of him getting no preseason snaps totally fine with it we we know what Aaron Rogers is look and work needed this week to get ready for week one in this season got to get those mental reps although Robert solz says that the first team offense took about 800 reps together during training camp so he's not tons concern Dan tanama sticking around the whole show for us Don Donna who is bazak Dan orlovski as promise look at you he did tell me one time that he did for a very brief period in his life like rap um what will Jan doon's addition on this Eagle squad mean for Jaylen Herz I told you that in confidence I think it gives Phil have the capability of doing that so I think not only you're getting a good player for what was already a very good offense you're getting a good player that's going to have a ton of favorable matchups when it comes to work in the middle of the field or in man coverage this a plus for Philadelphia you mentioned it this was a receiving Core last meure that ranked top 10 already in catches yards and touchdowns and seemingly just got better let's go over to the to the second quarter tonight against Cincinnati so Dan what are expectations for AR based on what was a very limited look at him last year very high I I was very high on really good defense louan aruma their defensive coordinators crazy good we don't know the situation so I don't love hearing that I'd love to hear him at man he lit us up but ar ar already getting all the Adoration on the fantasy side and certainly you can see last year what he was able to do in a limited amount of time four starts four touchdowns with his arm three more with I'm sorry four touchdowns with his legs three more with his arm that's not a wrap for you Dan because you're coming back without the W uh let's stay with the offensive Roy we've given you five choices I want you to rank who you think is going to be in the conversation start with your number three Choice it took me a second with the offensive Roy I'm like what is she talking about so we're going to go six quarterbacks draft in the first round three starting opening day I'm going to stay heavy quarterbacks and go number three I'm going to do Bow Knicks I'm really intrigued by both bod Knicks and the Denver off and I honestly had a little bit of hesitation as much as I love Jaden Daniels after the Jan doson trade it's like who's going to St because of the type of player he is and maybe being the best situation a first picked rookie quarterback ever has been in Caleb Williams he's unbelievably physically gifted we the ground running and has a really strong rookie season odds makers are with you on the Caleb Williams pick he's going to face the Titans week one and then he'll test his medal against the reigning offensive player Rookie of the Year rather in CJ Str in the Texas oo week two let's go there we go Danny O no more let's go you're out of here just go just run get three-time Olympic gold medalist adding two to his trophy case in Paris Ry Benjamin is here R thanks for joining us on Sports Center thank you so much for having me you got it listen we we just saw that beautiful video montage of your performance in Paris you told me that you had never seen that before awesome and when it was time to compete of course you know you won the gold medal in the 400 meter hurdles uh the icing on the cake for that one is the fact you beat the guy who bested you at the Tokyo Olympics anchor leg of course during the 4x400 relay I mean that was tight what is the strategy and what was it to close out that race with a gold medal so uh yeah it was it was great man it was a lot of fun the stadium was electric that night so I mean like we're I feel like they were really tuned in to see what would happen um anything else three gold medals are not enough for you you would like to sign a contract with a giant one day contract for one day well which side of the ball would you in one day I mean Daniel Jones needs another Target if you guys need me let me know I'm they are very heavy um Ry Benjamin thank you so much for joining us on Sports Center man I'm I'm I'm just living the dream right now so it's been it's been great love having you thanks thank you we welcome in our senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler and Jeremy it's been a back and forth between Justin fields and Russell Wilson who will get the starting job who's in the driver's seat right now for week one well Wilson's still in the driver seat he's qb1 on this week's depth chart the team was fields to Russ yeah definitely Fields like Russell Wilson is in control of that situation there's another quarterback situation that needs to be decided that is in New England New on and Drake May trying to be qb1 in week one I have my thoughts on that after what we saw from M Jones in New England but a lot of rookie quarterbacks trying to make a case in the preseason finale take us through those quarterbacks starting with Drake May so Drake May has made a little bit of a case but here's the thing with that play action he's throwing on the move so they like what they've seen but this will be his first game action under this new offense they're going to give him probably a quarter or so see how he does yeah a lot of young quarterbacks trying to prove themselves in that preseason finale Jeremy Fowler with the insight and more from you in just a bit thanks so much thank you with us on Sports Center let's zoom in a little bit further here on Anthony Richardson because the reality of the situation is he only started games in college at Florida he missed most of last season and so again he's just kind of trying to get that Rhythm but what are your expectations for him because week one is right around the corner well your expectations you're going to get a lot of wow and you're going to get a lot of talked a lot about this last season coach because it was like Anthony Richardson no Bullseye in his back to start last season then he goes out now he's coming back we kind of know what he's made of so we'll see what the Colts can do with him early on Herm Edward's sticking around though I love it football season is here it is here see Rebecca Lobo joining us now here on Sports Center and Rebecca let's go back to the links coming off a win over the aces they currently have the third shortest odds to win the title however they have to play the aces again tonight and so when you think about the championship Contender conversation where do the links fall in that the links are one of my top two favorites along with the new been amazing the last two games in fact 23 points and Wednesday's win 30 in the game before that it's been very impressive let's go to another title Contender that will be the sun they're facing off against Chicago tonight and then they have the Liberty tomorrow night what have you seen from Connecticut so Rebecca since they've traded for Marina mabery yeah it's been interesting to watch Connecticut in the three game games since uh the Olympic break they are two she she has been the top 10 in the league in three-point shooting she's got to maybe come into her own since moving to a new team Rebecca Lobo thank you so much for the insight as always the college football season is upon us and it looks Mighty different than we all remember the ACC is now 17 teams deep the Big 10 features 18 and the Big 12 has gone to 16 te teams although the SEC Now features Texas and Oklahoma One Thing Remains the Same there's still the big bullies you'll have to go through on the Block and if a new conference look wasn't enough college football is now entering its 12 team playoff era here's Kirk herb street with a breakdown of it all Hey Day senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler back here with us in CD lamb not the only wide receiver looking for a new deal you got Brandon Iuka Jamar Chase as well where do things stand with these receivers and these new contracts starting with Chase yeah well my sense is the Bengals are open to sign a end of the contract that they'd like to find a sweet spot on that they hav it and right now auk's played for about four or five different teams depending on the day so at the end of the day looks like it will be San Francisco yeah a lot of drama with these wide receivers and those contracts Jeremy fer with the insight and you talk about the NFL only two weeks away from the first game of the regular season as we welcome in Herm Edwards and Herm you coach Brandon iuk at Arizona State oh you know you take a look at all the news around his options and where he should land what do you think about the situation and what option you should take well I'm hoping he stays the 49ers are also coach John Lynch the general manager there so I know both parties very these guys got to get to Camp eventually because they're big time players and these teams need them yeah and that's the one thing if you're a fan that you're worried about of course you want Brandon IOU to get the deal that he wants but huh time is ticking for him to get out there on the field and be ready for week one of the Season Herm Edwards with the Insight thanks so much thank you welcome back to Sports Center you know I've literally begged my husband to take me to see Billy Joel at the Garden since we moved to the east coast his residency in New York ended we never went and now I have to be bummed until he returns for a special concert somewhere down the line however today we all look out with the college football landscape changing drastically in the season starting in roughly 24 hours Ryan McGee is bringing the Piano Man spin on the college football season is it Billy Joel at the Garden certainly not but it'll do for now oh it's been a cruel summer waiting for for football to return however we are now Dan Marino days away from the start of the NFL season 13 days until Chiefs and Ravens will get us started and boy those two they've got some bad blood it's a fresh late for KC and Mastermind momes and so now that the Lombard trophy has a blank space on it who's going to write their name every team hopes they're ready to Dethrone the Chiefs but are you ready for it reminded of back now with her Edwards and so the 14 team who played last night the Bears the Chiefs the Colts the Bengals their next game is for real because we have go of course have week one right around the corner and so coach let's go through the biggest questions you have for each of the teams I just laid out here we're going to start in Chicago with the Bears biggest question you got is well Caleb Williams playing structure of the offense and not try to play freelance so much cuz he has feel like a repeat of his rookie season that's for not many pro football games underneath his belt yet right not and certainly not and they'll be tested early on I believe they have the Texans week one which we know we'll learn a lot about them there Herm Edwards we appreciate it thank you thank you okay to paraphrase the 19th century French writer Jean Baptist alons car the more things change in college football the more they say the same as the future of the sport now blends with the present need us not forget the beauty of the game highlighted by its pageantry rivalries and history headed into the 2024 season we'll see new faces and new places but one thing is for sure this season is going to be fire act like we never left and B B our timing is impeccable because coaches were talking so crazy this week insert little league coach Bob latza his Staten Island team lucky enough to attend the Little League Classic on Sunday to watch the Yankees take on the Tigers hey what I mean outside of the irrational amount of entitlement here what are you talking about yeah kids crank up those lemonade stands cuz Aaron judge has to get paid somehow like since one
