Aaron Rodgers officially targets Week 16 return and I still don’t buy it

According to reports, Mr. Rodgers aims to return to the neighborhood by Week 16 with the caveat that his team is still in the playoff hunt by then. Rodgers would be making his comeback just thr...

USC and UCLA prove why home and away jerseys are a thing of the past
USC and UCLA haven’t been relevant, in terms of a national championship status, in years. I can’t even remember when, but mostly because my brain turned to muck long ago. They tell me that USC has a prime QB prospect in Caleb Williams, and yet every time he shows up in a big game he appears to do no...
