First it was a flip, then a bigger loss 24 hours later. The sky is all but falling for Florida State on the football field, following an 0-2 start in which Mike Norvell’s program was favored in each contest, and now recruiting has officially downshifted toward defections. FACT OR FICTION: Billy Napier can turn things around at Florida CLASS OF …

Dallas Cowboys three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Dak Prescott said he didn’t “need” a contract extension before the team’s Week 1 matchup at the Cleveland Browns, but that clearly was the case.  Team owner and general manager Jerry Jones met the deadline with the 2023 NFL passing touchdowns leader (36) by signing Prescott to a four-year, $240 million extension Sunday morning, which …

Justin Fields wasn’t trying to play like a former first-round pick on Sunday, his first start with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He wasn’t trying to disprove old narratives that stem from his trying three years in Chicago. Heck, Fields probably wasn’t even worried about further strengthening his case to be Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback over Russell Wilson, who missed the Week 1 game …
