Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the 2025 Aggie-Eagle Classic, the Bills win over the Dolphins, NC State vs Duke and more.

The 2025 Aggie-Eagle Classic is set to take place tomorrow in Greensboro, North Carolina, with kickoff scheduled for 4:00 p.m. local time. This historic HBCU rivalry pits North Carolina A&T State University (Aggies) against North Carolina Central University (Eagles) in one of the most storied matchups in Black college football.

NC A&T currently leads the all-time series with an estimated record of 54-37-5, but NC Central has dominated in recent years, winning the last three matchups—including a commanding 66-24 victory last season. With momentum on their side, the Eagles will look to extend their streak, while the Aggies aim to reclaim bragging rights in front of a passionate fan base. As always, the Aggie-Eagle Classic carries more than just football stakes—it’s a cultural event that celebrates tradition, pride, and community in North Carolina. Who will win?

The Buffalo Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins 31-21 last night in a hard‑fought game that stayed tight until late. Josh Allen was sharp, completing 22 of 28 passes for 213 yards and throwing three touchdowns.The game was tied 21-21 with under eight minutes to play, but key late plays—an interception by Terrel Bernard and a long field goal by Matt Prater—allowed Buffalo to pull away. With the win, Buffalo improved to 3-0, while Miami dropped to 0-3 for the first time since 2019. It also extended Buffalo’s dominance over the Dolphins: Buffalo has won 13 of the last 14 regular‑season meetings. 

Tua Tagovailoa had a mixed night. He threw for 146 yards, completed 22 of 34 passes, and had two touchdown passes to keep Miami in the fight. However, his late‑game interception with about three minutes left on a drive inside Buffalo’s red zone proved pivotal. That turnover essentially ended Miami’s chance to tie the game or take the lead. This was the only turnover of the game, but it came at a critical moment. Tagovailoa has struggled against the Bills: he’s now 1‑7 in regular‑season games vs. Buffalo. Over those matchups he has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns (10 INTs to 7 TDs). Is Tua overrated? Can the Dolphins turn their season around?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex speak with Dr. Deborah Stroman.

Dr. Stroman discusses the criticism Tom Brady is facing for his dual roles with the NFL. Tom Brady is facing growing criticism for his current off-the-field roles, particularly due to concerns about potential conflicts of interest and his overall influence in the NFL's media and team operations. Since retiring, Brady has taken on a number of high-profile positions: he became a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders in late 2024, signed a long-term broadcasting deal with Fox Sports as their lead NFL analyst, and has been involved in international promotional events like the upcoming flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia.

The most significant criticism centers on the perceived conflict of interest between his roles as a team owner and a broadcaster. Fox Sports and the NFL have defended Brady, noting that his actions are within policy and that precedent exists for dual roles. However, the scrutiny around him continues to grow, and the debate over whether he can fairly serve both as a broadcaster and team owner remains very much alive. Should Brady be allowed to have this dual role?

After LSU’s 20-10 win over Florida, head coach Brian Kelly had a tense exchange with reporter Michael Cauble during the postgame press conference. Was Brian Kelly in the wrong?

Dabo Swinney recently addressed the growing criticism surrounding Clemson football following the team’s disappointing 1-2 start to the 2025 season, which included losses to LSU and Georgia Tech. Are Dabo Swinney and Clemson Tigers in trouble? Do they have problems?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Brian Kelly's controversial press conference from over the weekend.

After LSU’s 20-10 win over Florida, head coach Brian Kelly had a tense exchange with reporter Michael Cauble during the postgame press conference. When Cauble asked about LSU’s offensive struggles—specifically their third-down inefficiency and issues running the ball—Kelly snapped back, visibly irritated. He dismissed the line of questioning, saying, “Stop. Really? Is that the first question? We won the game 20-10. Try another question.” Kelly went on to say, “You’re looking at this from the wrong perspective,” and suggested that expecting blowout wins like “70-0” was unrealistic. He called the questions “ridiculous” and seemed frustrated that the focus wasn’t on the win itself.

In the days following the outburst, Kelly publicly apologized. He said he had texted Cauble to express regret for how he handled the exchange. Was Kelly in the wrong?
