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.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — the NCAA's new 5-for-5 rule creating chaos as NFL and NBA players enter the transfer portal to play another year of college sports, three veteran quarterback situations raising serious red flags heading into the season, and Jalen Hurts getting dominated by the Patriots in joint practice and what it means for the defending Super Bowl champions.

NCAA'S 5-FOR-5 RULE IS BREAKING COLLEGE SPORTS

The rule was designed to give athletes more flexibility — and instead it's opened the door for professional athletes to re-enter college sports. Grant & Tanner break down which players are going back, why the NCAA didn't see this coming, and what needs to happen before this completely spirals out of control.

VETERAN QBs IN TROUBLE HEADING INTO 2026

Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta. JJ McCarthy in Minnesota. Deshaun Watson in Cleveland. Three completely different situations with one common theme — all three franchises are hoping for the best while quietly preparing for the worst. Grant & Tanner give their honest assessment of each quarterback and what a bad start to the season means for all three teams.

JALEN HURTS GETS DOMINATED BY THE PATRIOTS

Hurts couldn't stop throwing interceptions in joint practice against New England — and Grant & Tanner break down whether this is a real concern for the defending Super Bowl champions, what the pattern of struggles this summer actually means, and whether it's time to feel genuinely more confident in the Patriots heading into 2026.

BOTTOM LINE: Three massive stories today — a college sports governance crisis that keeps getting worse, quarterback situations that could define three franchises' seasons, and a defending champion showing cracks before Week 1.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Jaxson Dart back in the medical tent and the Giants getting in their own way again under John Harbaugh, the new college football AP Top 25 with Ohio State at one and Alabama out of the top 10 for the first time since 2008, and Dan Orlovsky's quarterback rankings that show heavy favoritism toward Herbert, Maye, and Darnold.

GIANTS KEEP GETTING IN THEIR OWN WAY

Jaxson Dart is in the blue medical tent again in his second preseason opener — and it's not the first time. Cam Skattebo keeps making questionable decisions. The roster hasn't come together under John Harbaugh the way anyone hoped. Grant & Tanner debate whether New York hired the right coach and whether this franchise can get out of its own way long enough to compete.

NEW CFB AP TOP 25 — OHIO STATE #1, INDIANA #6, ALABAMA OUT OF THE TOP 10

The Buckeyes are the preseason favorite. The defending national champion Hoosiers are somehow only sixth. And Alabama is out of the top 10 for the first time since 2008 — the most remarkable data point in the entire poll. Grant & Tanner break down every ranking worth debating and tell you where they disagree with the voters.

DAN ORLOVSKY'S QB RANKINGS GOT IT WRONG

Heavy favoritism for Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, and Sam Darnold — and players with better track records getting pushed down as a result. Grant & Tanner break down exactly where Orlovsky went wrong, who got robbed, and what the corrected version of his list should actually look like.

BOTTOM LINE: Three big stories today — a franchise in chaos before the season starts, a college football power ranking that's already generating debate, and a quarterback list that needs significant corrections.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — the real story behind Jayden Daniels' cease-and-desist to LSU that everyone is getting wrong, Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiyah Love, and Carnell Tate making their NFL preseason debuts, and the Chicago Bears announcing a move to Indiana while keeping the Chicago name — plus why Ben Johnson saying his goal is to score more points than anyone has Grant & Tanner raising serious questions.

JAYDEN'S LSU CEASE-AND-DESIST — THE REAL STORY

It's not about the jersey number. It's about NIL rights used beyond the contractual window. Grant & Tanner break down what Jayden's legal team actually alleged, why the media narrative is completely off, and whether Jayden and his camp were right to send the letter.

MENDOZA, LOVE, AND TATE MAKE THEIR NFL DEBUTS

Three of the most anticipated rookies from the 2026 draft class got their first NFL action. Grant & Tanner break down Fernando Mendoza's Raiders debut, Jeremiyah Love's first carry for the Cardinals, and whether Carnell Tate — the receiver the Commanders reportedly wanted at pick seven — lived up to the billing in his first appearance as a Titan.

BEARS MOVING TO INDIANA — AND BEN JOHNSON'S CONFUSING GOAL

The Chicago Bears are leaving Chicago and keeping the Chicago name anyway. And their head coach says his goal is to score more points than any other team — not win the Super Bowl. Grant & Tanner break down both stories and explain why Johnson's stated priorities have them more confused than confident heading into his first season.

BOTTOM LINE: Three stories that couldn't be more different — a misreported legal dispute, a generation of rookies getting their first NFL taste, and a franchise with more identity questions than answers.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — ESPN's Cleveland reporters saying Shedeur Sanders could be cut or traded before the season, Caleb Downs lighting up Cowboys training camp and what it means for the NFC East race, and full NFL preseason week one picks including Lions +6.5 against Burrow and the Bengals, Colts over the Patriots, Seahawks over the Cowboys, and more.

SHEDEUR SANDERS COULD BE CUT OR TRADED BEFORE THE SEASON

ESPN's Cleveland reporters are floating the possibility — and Grant & Tanner aren't surprised. They break down why Shedeur's headline-generating nature makes him unworkable as a backup, give a fair critique of his rookie performance, and identify which teams should be on the phone with Cleveland right now.

CALEB DOWNS IS LIGHTING IT UP AT COWBOYS CAMP

Eleven teams passed on him and they're all looking foolish right now. Grant & Tanner break down what Downs is showing at Dallas camp, how much better he makes the Cowboys' defense, and whether this is the piece that pushes Dallas past Washington and Philadelphia in the NFC East race.

NFL PRESEASON WEEK 1 PICKS

Lions +6.5 against Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Colts over the Patriots. Seahawks over the Cowboys. Grant & Tanner go through every notable preseason week one matchup, give their picks and their reasoning, and identify the games worth watching most closely.

BOTTOM LINE: Three big stories to open preseason week one — a first-round pick who might not make his team's roster, a draft steal making everyone look bad, and a full slate of picks to kick off the 2026 NFL preseason.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Aaron Donald coming out of retirement to practice with the Rams and whether LA is now the prohibitive Super Bowl favorite, the Commanders landing Stefon Diggs and what it means for their playoff chances and Brandon Aiyuk's NFL future, and a wild Hall of Fame game where Carson Beck impressed in his Cardinals debut and Haynes King hit a time-expiring walk-off touchdown to give the Panthers a 33-30 win.

AARON DONALD IS BACK — ARE THE RAMS THE SUPER BOWL FAVORITE?

The greatest defensive player of his generation is practicing with Los Angeles again. Grant & Tanner break down what Donald still brings at this stage of his career, whether he actually plays in a regular season game, and whether his return pushes the Rams from NFC favorite to prohibitive Super Bowl favorite.

COMMANDERS SIGN DIGGS — PLAYOFFS BOUND, AND IS AIYUK DONE?

Jayden Daniels now has Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Chig Okonkwo, and Bill Croskey-Merritt around him. Grant & Tanner give their updated NFC power ranking for Washington, debate whether this roster is genuinely built to compete in January, and ask the uncomfortable question: with Diggs off the board and the 49ers showing no signs of releasing him, is Brandon Aiyuk's NFL career effectively over?

HALL OF FAME GAME — CARSON BECK SHINES, HAYNES KING WALKS IT OFF

Carson Beck looked like the real deal in his Cardinals debut. Haynes King hit a time-expiring touchdown to give the Panthers a wild 33-30 win. Grant & Tanner break down the real takeaways from Canton and what they're watching for in the preseason games ahead.

BOTTOM LINE:

Three massive stories to open the 2026 NFL preseason — a legend returning, a receiver room transformed, and a Hall of Fame game that actually delivered.
