Ben Roethlisberger speaks the truth about ‘Thursday Night Football’
Ben Roethlisberger’s Pittsburgh Steelers are getting set to face the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, and it’s a game Big Ben is not necessarily looking forward to. And the reason has nothing to do with his opponent.
Roethlisberger is like most players around the NFL who dislike “Thursday Night Football” because he finds it too disruptive to his recovery from the previous game.
The Steelers quarterback was asked this week about what he needs to do to get ready for a

Jeff Tedford secures first big win as Fresno State head coach
Jeff Tedford has been on the job at Fresno State for a day and already has secured a big win.
According to 247 Sports, Bulldogs quarterback Jake Haener has removed his name from the transfer portal. This is a big development because a week ago, it looked like Haener was leaving Fresno State to follow his head coach Kalen DeBoer to Washington. The transfer would have made sense considering Haener began his college career with the Huskies.
But there are apparently two factors that led to Haener r

Has Mike Zimmer has lost Vikings locker room?
Talks of potential coaching changes are already taking hold around the NFL. One team’s situation may be bad enough to call for an immediate change though.
Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer is firmly on the hot seat. He may not even last until the end of the season, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

Pete Carroll has surprising comment about costly Jamal Adams trade
If the Seattle Seahawks regret the growing cost of their trade for Jamal Adams, they are not showing it publicly.
Adams will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, cutting short his second campaign in Seattle. That ensures his 2021 will end without him collecting a single sack just one year after setting a career high with 9.5 of them. That production simply will not sit well in light of the fact that the Seahawks gave up two first-round picks for Adams. One of them, their 2022 selection, look

Peyton Manning got shut down by Patriots over Mac Jones interview
The New England Patriots run a notoriously tight ship. So tight, in fact, that not even Peyton Manning can get any interview he wants.
Manning said on Monday night’s alternate “Monday Night Football” broadcast that he had spoken to Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the leadup to the game. He tried to do the same with Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, but was apparently shut down by the organization’s PR staff.

Video: High winds lead to incredible opening kickoff on ‘MNF’
Monday’s game between the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills is going to be a wild ride. That was easy to see just from the opening kickoff.
Both the Patriots and Bills were forced to play in brutal conditions Monday, with the city of Buffalo under a wind advisory. Gusts were forecast to approach 50 MPH during the game.
It certainly looked it on the opening kickoff, which kicker Tyler Bass casually dispatched into the stands behind the end zone with almost no extra effort.

Shareef O’Neal has hilarious quote about playing Shaq one-on-one
Is Shaquille O’Neal a bad sport when it comes to pickup basketball? His son Shareef sure thinks so.
Shareef, a junior forward at LSU, said he hasn’t played his father one-on-one in about five years. Part of that may be because, in the younger O’Neal’s estimation, Shaq “plays super dirty” and “fouls a lot.”
“If we score on him, he’ll say it's a travel,” Shareef told Josh Peter of USA Today. ‘He’ll say anything. I won...
