"
One of the most infamous plays in NFL history is known as "The Holy Roller." 

It was 1978 and Stabler was the starting quarterback for the Oakland Raiders. In a game against San Diego, Stabler fumbled the ball forward, which led to a game-winning touchdown for Oakland. 

The NFL responded with the "Ken Stabler Rule," no longer allowing forward plays with a fumble. .."

Kelly joined the Raiders' coaching staff after helping Ohio State win a national title as its offensive coordinator last season. The 61-year-old coach, who reportedly has an average annual salary of $6 million, was meant to fix the Raiders' offense, which was one of the worst in the league last season.

That plan failed.

#11 Oklahoma upsets #4 Alabama 23–21 🏈



Alabama was favored by around 6.5 points. 

Oklahoma's defense forced 3 turnovers, and they scored 17 points off those turnovers. 

Despite being outgained in total yardage (Oklahoma had just ~212 yards) , they made the critical plays when it mattered.

Their kicker, Tate Sandell, hit all three of his field goals. 

On the final play, Alabama went for it on 4th down, but Oklahoma's defense held strong. 

So yeah — not just a good upset, but a backbreaking one for Alabama, especially at home in Tuscaloosa.

Michigan vs. Michigan State: Violations & Penalties

" The Lord loves justice, and He will not forsake His saints." — Psalm 37:28
.
---

Michigan vs. Michigan State: 
Violations & Penalties 

Michigan State's violations centered on recruiting improprieties and the use of ineligible players, which directly affected on-field competition. The NCAA confirmed that three ineligible players participated in games, leading to the vacating of 14 wins from 2022–24. MSU also received probation, recruiting limits, and financial penalties. Their case reflects improper benefits, eligibility oversight failures, and competitive advantage gained by playing athletes who should not have been on the field.

The University of Michigan's violations were very different. Michigan was punished for running a systematic sign-stealing and off-campus scouting scheme, combined with failure to cooperate, destruction of evidence, and additional recruiting violations. The NCAA issued four years of probation, major recruiting restrictions, and more than $20 million in financial penalties. Several coaches, including Jim Harbaugh, received multi-year show-cause orders. However, Michigan did not have any wins vacated.

In terms of fairness, the NCAA treated both schools according to the nature of their violations: MSU's eligibility violations led to vacated wins, while Michigan's strategic scheme produced heavier financial and coaching penalties. Different crimes, different consequences—but proportionate to their specific actions.

" Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments." — Psalm 119:66

---

What a Show-Cause Order Means

A show-cause order is one of the NCAA's harshest penalties.
It means that for a specific number of years, any NCAA school that wants to hire the punished coach must "show cause" to the NCAA why that coach should be allowed to work without additional penalties.

In practical terms:

The school must submit a formal petition to the NCAA.

The NCAA can deny it, delay it, or attach extra restrictions, such as suspensions, limits on recruiting, or oversight requirements.

Because of the hassle and risk, most schools simply refuse to hire the coach during the show-cause period.

A show-cause order is essentially a career freeze within college sports.

---

Can Jim Harbaugh ever coach college football again?

Yes — but it will be extremely difficult during his show-cause period.

Harbaugh received a 10-year show-cause order, one of the longest ever given.This does not permanently ban him, but it means:

No NCAA school is likely to hire him while the show-cause is active.

If a school did try, Harbaugh would face major restrictions and suspensions built into the order.

After the 10 years expire, he is free to return with no special NCAA hurdles.

Bottom line:

He can return someday, but for the next decade, his college-coaching career is effectively shut down.

" He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity." — Psalm 98:9


---

What NCAA Probation Really Means

Probation is not the same as a postseason ban, and it does not automatically make a team forfeit games. Probation is basically the NCAA putting a program under heightened supervision for a set number of years.

What Probation Includes

While probation terms vary, they usually include:

✅ 1. Extra NCAA Oversight

The program must regularly report to the NCAA.

Compliance staff are monitored more closely.

The NCAA can conduct surprise audits, interviews, and evaluations.


✅ 2. Recruiting Restrictions

Probation often comes with limits such as:

Fewer official visits

Reduced recruiting days

Recruiting communication bans

Limits on staff interaction with recruits


✅ 3. Public Notice

The school is officially labeled as a program in violation. This hurts reputation and makes other violations more costly.

✅ 4. Risk of Harsher Penalties

Any misstep during probation can trigger:

Postseason bans

Scholarship losses

Vacated wins

Harsher fines


Probation is like the NCAA saying:
"We're watching you. Don't mess up again."

---

Does Probation Mean Forfeits?

❌ No — not automatically.

Forfeits (vacated wins) only happen when:

Ineligible players played

Direct on-field competitive rules were broken

Records were improperly earned


Michigan State had to vacate wins because of ineligible players, not because of probation itself.

Michigan did not have to vacate any wins.

---

Can Teams on Probation Still Play Postseason?

✅ Yes. Being on probation does NOT block postseason play.

A school can still:

Play bowl games

Win conference championships

Make the College Football Playoff


❗ Unless…

The NCAA specifically includes a postseason ban in the punishment.
Neither Michigan nor Michigan State received a postseason ban in these cases.
---

Final Summary

Probation = extra oversight + restrictions but NOT automatic postseason bans.

Michigan State → Vacated wins because ineligible players competed.

Michigan → Huge fines and show-cause orders but no vacated wins.

Both → Still allowed to participate in postseason play.

Rose 🌹 Bowl is old & boring. UCLA better off at SoFi 🏈 🏟️

" Commit your way to the Lord and he will establish your plans." — Proverbs 16:3


Pasadena is a great city one single day of the year: New Year's . Otherwise avoid. 


What's going on:
Rose Bowl Stadium and the city of Pasadena have filed a lawsuit against UCLA (the university's football program) over an alleged plan to relocate its home games from the Rose Bowl to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. 

Key facts:

UCLA has a lease to play its home football games at the Rose Bowl through 2044. 

The Rose Bowl and the city claim UCLA's discussions about moving games to SoFi constitute a breach of that lease agreement. 

The lawsuit says the potential move could cause more than $1 billion in economic and reputational damage to the city of Pasadena and to the stadium. 

UCLA has responded that while it is "evaluating the long‑term arrangement for UCLA football home games," no decision has been made. 

Attendance for UCLA's home games this season has averaged about 35,000 in a stadium that seats roughly 89,000. 

SoFi Stadium, opened in September 2020, is about 12 miles from UCLA's campus; the Rose Bowl is about 26 miles away. 


Why this matters:

The Rose Bowl is an iconic, historic venue (a National Historic Landmark) with deep ties to UCLA and Pasadena. 

A relocation would impact the local economy of Pasadena (businesses, tourism, tax revenue) and disrupt traditions tied to the stadium and UCLA's fanbase.

For UCLA, the move could be driven by attendance challenges, modernization, or strategic changes (especially since the football program recently changed conferences).

For Pasadena and the Rose Bowl, it's about protecting their contractual rights, investments (they mention $150 m+ renovation contributions and $130 m in bonds) and preserving the legacy of the venue.

I want to encourage Falcon's 🏈 QB Kirk Cousins to become a MISSIONARY. 🙏✝️🌎📖

I want to encourage Falcon's QB Kirk Cousins to become a MISSIONARY. He's made enough money from the NFL now and he's not even starting anymore so he can comfortably leave pro football and use his savings to do incredible Christian mission work around the world 🙏✝️🌎📖

He is a Christian that's for sure. But it's time for him to step up to the next level- with his financial leverage he can do so much incredible good for this world & the kingdom  👑. Maybe he could also team up with Tim Tebow. 👍

So join me in prayer for Kirk Cousins to find his calling beyond just playing football.

Is Falcon's Penix doing better than Kirk Cousins did ? 🏈

"The LORD delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love." — Psalm 147:11

Here's how Michael Penix Jr.'s early 2025 stats compare with Kirk Cousins' 2024 season as the starter for the Atlanta Falcons — and what it suggests. 

📊 Key Stats Comparison

Michael Penix Jr
(2025, thru 6 starts)

Completion percentage: ~ 61.0% 

Passing yards: 1,409 

Touchdowns: 5 

Interceptions: 3 

Yards per attempt: ~7.2 

Quarterback rating (approx.): 85.2 in one source 


Kirk Cousins
(2024 season as Falcons' starter)

Completion percentage: ~ 66.9% 

Passing yards: 3,508 

Touchdowns: 18 

Interceptions: 16 

Yards per attempt: ~7.7 

Passer rating: 88.6 



---

🔍 What It Suggests

On one hand, Penix's interception rate is much lower (3 picks in 6 games) compared to Cousins's 16 interceptions across 14 games. That's positive in terms of ball security.

On the other hand, Penix's touchdown output is significantly lower (5 TDs in 6 games) compared to Cousins's 18 TDs in 14 games — indicating less scoring production so far.

Penix's completion percentage (~61%) is lower than Cousins's ~66.9% from 2024, which suggests he's still adjusting and hasn't reached the efficiency level of the veteran yet.

Cousins's yards per attempt and overall rating were a bit higher — reflecting his experience and full season's work; Penix's simpler/early sample may be more conservative or limited.

The raw numbers also reflect that Cousins had a full starter workload across more games; Penix's numbers are from a more limited sample (so caution is needed when projecting).
---

✅ Verdict

Penix shows promise — particularly with fewer interceptions and solid readability for being early in his starting tenure. But he has yet to match Cousins's production in touchdowns, yards, or efficiency. The comparison tells us: Penix is in development mode, while Cousins in 2024 represented a more established baseline.

NFL week 4 recap (season under protest by pray- by -play sports due to NFL's choice of halftime performer👎

"Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." — 1 Corinthians 15:57



Week 4 brought plenty of drama, upsets, and nail-biters across the league.

The action kicked off on Thursday night, where the Seahawks edged out the Cardinals 23–20, a tight divisional battle that came down to the final minutes.

On Sunday morning, the Steelers held strong at home, squeaking past the Vikings 24–21, while the Bills flexed their muscle with a convincing 31–19 win over the Saints. Houston's defense stole the show, completely shutting out the Titans 26–0, one of the more lopsided results of the week. Detroit also dominated, cruising over the Browns 34–10.

The Falcons–Commanders matchup turned into a shootout, with Atlanta pulling away late in a 34–27 victory. The Eagles stayed perfect with a strong
 31–25 win over the Buccaneers, while the Patriots looked revitalized, dismantling the Panthers 42–13 in one of the biggest blowouts of the week.

In New York, the Giants edged the Chargers 21–18, grinding out a close win, while over on the West Coast the Jaguars stunned the 49ers in Santa Clara, pulling off a 26–21 upset. The Rams also defended home turf, beating the Colts 27–20.

Chicago got a much-needed boost with a gutsy 25–24 win over the Raiders, while in Kansas City, the Chiefs reminded everyone why they're contenders, rolling the Ravens 37–20.

Sunday night gave fans a thriller in Dallas — the Packers and Cowboys battled to a rare 40–40 tie, an offensive explosion with neither side able to finish the other off.

Monday's games wrapped up the week with the Dolphins outlasting the Jets 27–21 in Miami, and the Broncos pounding the Bengals 28–3 in Denver — a game that was never in doubt.

---

👉 Biggest wins of the week: Texans' shutout, Patriots' blowout, Chiefs' statement.
👉 Closest battles: Bears edging the Raiders, Seahawks over the Cards, and that wild Packers–Cowboys tie.

Correction re AP top 25 poll for college football

I used chat GPT to give a college football summary and they jumped the gun summarizing a yet non-existent AP college football update which  doesn't come out until later today on Sunday around 2pm, so Gemini gives you what they predict and is probably more accurate: 

"Most notably, Oregon, which defeated No. 3 Penn State in double overtime, is substantially underrated and should jump to at least No. 2, while the losing teams—Penn State and LSU—are severely overrated by being kept in the top five despite suffering losses to lower-ranked opponents.

 Consequently, Alabama, which delivered the biggest win of the week by upsetting No. 5 Georgia, is likely underrated in CGPT's final projection and will make a much larger climb up the rankings.

 The biggest oversight is the exclusion of Ole Miss (who beat LSU) from the final top 25, as they will undoubtedly enter the rankings and likely place higher than the team they defeated."

College football Week 5 , Top 25 update 🏈🏟️

"For the Lord your God is He who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory." — Deuteronomy 20:4


College football Week 5 brought fireworks across the nation, shaking up the AP Top 25 with some monumental wins and tough upsets. At the top, No. 1 Ohio State continued to prove its dominance, handling Washington 24–6 to remain unbeaten. Right behind them, No. 6 Oregon pulled off a huge statement win, outlasting No. 3 Penn State 30–24 in double overtime. On the flip side, No. 4 LSU stumbled in a 24–19 defeat at the hands of No. 13 Ole Miss, while No. 17 Alabama stunned No. 5 Georgia 24–21 in a thriller that reminded everyone the Tide aren't going anywhere.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, No. 9 Texas A&M edged Auburn 16–10, while No. 11 Indiana stayed hot with a 20–15 victory over Iowa. No. 14 Iowa State rolled past Arizona 39–14, and No. 15 Tennessee held off Mississippi State 41–34 in overtime. Georgia Tech, ranked No. 16, survived Wake Forest 30–29 in another overtime battle, while No. 18 Vanderbilt put up big numbers in a 55–35 win over Utah State. No. 20 Missouri cruised past UMass 42–6.

The back half of the Top 25 wasn't short on drama either. No. 23 Illinois took down No. 21 USC in a 34–32 nail-biter, and No. 22 Notre Dame dominated Arkansas 56–13. Meanwhile, No. 25 BYU kept its momentum alive by holding off Colorado 24–21. On Friday night, the biggest shocker came when Virginia toppled No. 8 Florida State 46–38 in double overtime, a result that could send shockwaves through the ACC race. To cap it off, Arizona State upset No. 24 TCU 27–24, dealing the Horned Frogs their first blemish of the year.

By week's end, the AP Poll still had Ohio State leading the way, followed by Miami, Penn State, LSU, and Georgia. Oregon, Oklahoma, and Florida State filled out the upper tier, while Texas A&M and Texas rounded out the top ten. Further down, Indiana, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Iowa State, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Michigan, and Missouri all secured their places. USC, Notre Dame, Illinois, TCU, and BYU completed the rankings, setting the stage for more chaos in the weeks ahead.
