Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Josh Jacobs placed on the commissioner's exempt list for assault allegations while the Packers trade for Kaleb Johnson and might still miss the playoffs, ESPN's NFL power rankings putting the Ravens too low at 8 and the Packers too high at 7 in a league where half the teams could win the Super Bowl, and full CFB Week 1 betting picks including UCLA-Cal, LSU-Clemson, and Colorado-Georgia Tech.

JACOBS ON THE EXEMPT LIST — AND THE PACKERS ARE IN TROUBLE

Josh Jacobs is sidelined indefinitely following assault allegations and Green Bay's trade for Kaleb Johnson doesn't fix what's actually wrong with this roster. Grant & Tanner break down the legal situation, the Johnson trade, and make the honest case for why Jordan Love and the Packers could be on the outside looking in come January — despite sitting at seventh in ESPN's power rankings.

ESPN'S NFL POWER RANKINGS GET IT WRONG

Ravens too low at 8. Packers too high at 7. Cowboys at 15 and Bengals at 16 in what might be the most wide-open Super Bowl race in recent memory. Grant & Tanner fix the list, make the case for every team they think is misranked, and explain why the 2026 NFL season could be the most unpredictable in recent memory.

CFB WEEK 1 BETTING PICKS

The first full week of college football is here. UCLA vs. Cal. LSU vs. Clemson — the biggest game on the board. Colorado vs. Georgia Tech. Grant & Tanner go through the full Week 1 slate, give their picks and reasoning, and tell you which game they're most confident in heading into opening weekend.

BOTTOM LINE:

Three big stories to kick off the first full week of the sports calendar — an NFL legal situation with real playoff implications, a power rankings debate that's going to cause problems in the comments, and a full slate of college football picks to open the 2026 regular season.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Dillon Gabriel lighting up the preseason finale and whether he should start over Deshaun Watson immediately, the New England Patriots looking genuinely dangerous despite a Christian Gonzalez holdout, and making the full case for why the Dallas Cowboys are the most underrated team in the NFC East and a legitimate sleeper contender in the conference.

DILLON GABRIEL SHINES — WHEN DOES WATSON GET REPLACED?

Gabriel had a standout preseason finale and Grant & Tanner aren't waiting to ask the question. Should he start over Watson right now? When does Shedeur Sanders eventually take over? And what does the Browns' quarterback timeline actually look like heading into a season where Cleveland has real decisions to make at the most important position in football.

THE PATRIOTS LOOK REALLY GOOD — BUT GONZALEZ IS HOLDING OUT

New England dominated Jalen Hurts in joint practice and has looked better than expected all preseason. Grant & Tanner break down why the Patriots are more dangerous than most people realize, what a Christian Gonzalez holdout does to their Super Bowl chances, and whether New England is a legitimate AFC contender or a very good team that falls short in January.

THE COWBOYS ARE THE NFC EAST SLEEPER

Grant & Tanner make the full case for Dallas — the divisional matchup advantages against the Commanders, Eagles, and Giants, the offensive firepower, the defensive pieces, and why this Cowboys roster is built to shock the NFC in 2026. The division race is not as settled as people think.

BOTTOM LINE: Three teams with massive upside heading into the regular season — a Browns quarterback situation that just got more complicated, a Patriots team that nobody is fully respecting, and a Cowboys roster that Grant & Tanner think is the most dangerous team in the NFC East.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Dan Lanning and Marcus Freeman speaking out against the NCAA's 5-for-5 rule while Lane Kiffin embraces it at LSU plus the FBI allegedly sweeping Ole Miss for bugs, Deshaun Watson being named Cleveland's Week 1 starter the same week he made inflammatory comments about the fan base, and full CFB Week 0 betting picks including UNC +7.5 in Ireland, NC State +5.5, and Memphis +5.5.

COACHES DIVIDED ON THE 5-FOR-5 RULE — AND THE FBI SWEPT OLE MISS?

Lanning and Freeman are pushing back hard on NFL and NBA players returning to college football. Kiffin at LSU loves it — of course he does. Grant & Tanner break down both sides of the debate and then get to the wildest subplot of the offseason: Ole Miss' NIL director claiming the FBI swept the office for bugs after Kiffin left. College football never stops delivering.

WATSON NAMED BROWNS STARTER — THE SAME WEEK HE INSULTED THE FANS

Deshaun Watson gets the Week 1 nod over Shedeur Sanders — and in the same breath makes inflammatory comments about the Cleveland fan base. Grant & Tanner break down why this is a disaster waiting to happen, what Watson realistically looks like in 2026, and why every week he starts is a week of development Shedeur Sanders isn't getting. The future in Cleveland is obvious. The Browns just aren't there yet.

CFB WEEK 0 BETTING PICKS

College football is back and Grant & Tanner are going on record. UNC +7.5 against TCU in the Ireland game. NC State and CJ Bailey +5.5 against UVA. Memphis +5.5 against UNLV. Grant & Tanner work through every notable Week 0 matchup and tell you which pick they're most confident in heading into opening weekend.

BOTTOM LINE: Three massive stories to kick off the college and pro football season — a governance crisis dividing the sport's biggest coaches, a quarterback situation that's already a mess before Week 1, and a full slate of opening weekend picks.
