Through 2 games the Florida State Seminoles are 1-1 but if you talk to the fanbase they are unhappy and want the program to make a coaching change, is this season salvageable? Matt Baker from the Tampa Bay Times joins the show to give his thoughts on Willie Taggart sticking around in Tallahassee, plus he tells Marc what his thought process is on voting in the AP Poll.

UCF cruised past FAU with a true freshmen quarterback while FSU had to fight to hopefully right the ship and Clemson continued to show why they are so good, so what did we learn from week 2 of college football action?

The entire NFL offseason it seemed like the Miami Dolphins weren't going to be very good once the season kicked off. Then they purged a number of players ahead of the season opener, but once the week 1 came it was much worse than anyone could've expected. They lost 59-10 against the Ravens and after the game head coach Brian Flores talked about it's a process. But Marc worries that talking like that will lead to a coach losing a locker room sooner rather than later.

NFL Twitter got its wish on Saturday afternoon when Antonio Brown got released by the Oakland Raiders and within an hour he was signed by the New England Patriots, but how did this happen? Marc talks about how he thinks nothing from the Brown saga was genuine and everything was scripted out, including the phone call from Jon Gruden which was probably from Hard Knocks.

In the season opening game against FAMU the Knights utilized a few of their quarterbacks but the 2 that got the most snaps was Brandon Wimbush and Dillon Gabriel.

The entire NFL summer has been devoted to the entertaining Antonio Brown saga. It started with him arriving in a hot air ballon, then he missed time because of frostbite, and then it ended with helmet-gate. But it looked like everything was over, until it was released the team is considering to suspend Brown. Marc talks about this is all on Jon Gruden, he wanted this player and it up to him to fix this situation because at the end of the day he wants to win as many games as possible.

For a good hot minute it seemed like college basketball was going to combust, the FBI was looking into multiple schools and coaches were being interviewed and then the story faded away. Marc talks about how the story really faded away because after the FBI concluded their investigation the NCAA wanted to look at the evidence and they were denied, so what happened? Nothing...at all.
