Todd McShay discusses Mel Kiper

Here’s a fantastic clip from Todd McShay’s new podcast and YouTube channel where Todd McShay discusses Mel Kiper. McShay is very fond of Kiper, and the two of them established a very close bond over the years. They also drove each other a little crazy, and that led to some great televsion at times.

McShay explains the craziness and quirkiness of Kiper’s personality, and how Todd leaned into it both on air and off. He also explained how McShay is a great person and incredibly kind to everyone. It’s quite a tribute.

And finally he explains why Kiper has not been on the new podcast, and he explained that ESPN basically won’t allow it. He even got into how Kiper is now paired with Field Yates, and how Yates has been thrown into the draft prep world from the fantasy football world. Yates is good, but they can’t recreate what they had with Todd and Mel. McShay isn’t afraid here to say what he thinks.

Dodgers wins epic Game 7 in Toronto

What a wild game!

In a Game 7 for the ages, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Toronto, securing their ninth championship and becoming the first team to repeat since the 2000 Yankees.

Trailing 4-3 entering the ninth, the Dodgers mounted a stunning comeback, tying the game on Miguel Rojas’s improbable solo home run off closer Jeff Hoffman with two outs—a blast that barely cleared the wall and forced extras. The Jays, who had dominated much of the series with strong pitching from veterans like 41-year-old Max Scherzer (clutch in relief) and rookie phenom Cade Yesavage, couldn’t close the door despite leading for most of the night.

The Blue Jays had so many chances to win this game, but it slipped through their hands.

This seven-game epic, featuring an 18-inning Game 3 marathon, cemented the 2025 World Series as an instant classic.

Miami trips up against SMU

So Josh Pate will get roasted for this. Several weeks ago on hos podcast, he chirped about how Miami was “different” this year, even looking more impressive than Ohio State.

Well with Miami losing to SMU for their second loss of the season, Pate looks foolish as the Canes are now on the bubble for even making the playoff.

Miami hadn’t played a game outside the state of Florida, and they wilted with this road test at SMU. Many like Kirk Herbstreit called this game out as an upset special, and Miami obliged.

Miami has looked very impressive at times this season, but we’ve seen Mario Cristobal teams wilt before, and Mario if often part of the problem. Talent only gets you so far. Also, Carson Beck started throwing interceptions, and that hurt them again today.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s crazy no-call for traveling

Giannis Antetokounmpo is an amazing player, but he gets away with so many traveling calls that it’s becoming ridiculous. The play above is the most extreme example I’ve ever seen, and perhaps the NBA will look at this and alert their blind officials?

We’ve updated the video here as the NBA seems to be taking down these videos, but here we have Richard Jefferson explaining why he thinks this was NOT traveling lol

Brian Kelly fired by LSU

Brian Kelly never seemed like a good fit at LSU, even before he made that creepy recruiting video. Kelly is a good coach, but everything always seemed to be about Brian Kelly and finding his next job. He wouldn’t hesitate to leave a program, even Notre Dame.

With jobs open at Florida and Penn State as well, along with many other programs, this should be an intersting offseason. Plenty of coaches are going to leverage this to get raises at their current jobs . . . see Curt Cignetti at Indiana.
