All hail, the return of college football. With the return of America's zaniest sport, it's worth asking which true freshmen will leave their mark in 2025.

Wrote about that in my latest for @rotowire.bsky.social here:

Did you know that 8 of the last 10 Super Bowl champions won their respective season openers?

How does a team's nonconference success translate into CFP contention? Check it out:
With more than a decade's worth of CFP data, it's worth wondering just how important a fast start is in today's CFB world.

With that in mind, I broke down how each CFP champ has fared in the non-conference slate in my latest story for @rotowire.bsky.social:

A lot of quality players (and head coaches) have made their way through one of the 18 (lol) programs in today's ACC landscape.

For @rotowire.bsky.social I broke down which ones made the ACC's All-Quarter-Century team:

This might be hard to believe, but the Toronto Blue Jays are atop the AL East at the break for the 1st time since 2000.

In my latest story, I broke down what that means for Canada's lone (for now) MLB team in the latter half of the regular season:

Yea, Oilers! Up 1-0 in the Cup final, keep it up! #NHL #StanleyCup

Can I say again, the Stanley Cup ceremony is by far the best and the World Cup is right up there, because in both cases the team captain gets to handle the trophy first, not the owner. (Stanley Cup still gets the slight edge because each player skates part of a lap while carrying the huge trophy).

They just showed a graphic about the first Super Bowl (actually called the AFL-NFL Championship Game in early 1967) vs. today's Super Bowl 59. The average cost of a 30-second ad is 200 times more ... which feels like a lot until you know that the average price of a game ticket is nearly 500x more.

I thought this Bills vs. Lions game was going to be fun to watch and I was right. If my Steelers can't make the Super Bowl, I'd take a rematch of this game.

Does this mean the "Timeless" era is over for Toni Storm? If so, I'm going to miss that character, but I trust that she'll do something great next. Chin up, ... aw, you know the rest. #AEW #ToniStorm

The Chiefs are ridiculous. Just when you think they can't invent a new way to win....
