A new QB1 contender has entered the arena. North Dakota State QB Cole Payton is a legitimate NFL Draft prospect.

Good size (6'2'' 230 lbs), big arm, strong, mobile and not afraid to give receivers a chance downfield. 8 big time throws and 0 turnover worthy plays on passes of 20+ yards or more.

Just dropped on the Substack

Is week 1 a bunch of lies or does it tell us more about the NFL season than we realize?

I dived into the 2024 week 1 results to see what stuck and what fumbled.

As college football fans prepare to say goodbye to Lee Corso on Saturday, Big Noon Kickoff believes Dave Portnoy will help make it a viable alternative against College Gameday

I don't believe that, but I have a couple ideas of what actually could.
