data-mm-id=”_nnhnb0rpf”>The Big Ten and Pac-12 canceled their fall football seasons on Tuesday. Nobody is very happy about it, but the group of people having the most difficult time dealing with this situation are involved with the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program. Following the B1G decision, Nebraska chancellor Ronnie Green, president Ted Carter, AD Bill Moos and head coach Scott Frost issued a statement saying they were disappointed and planning to find a way to compete.

data-mm-id=”_ye4c15f25″>The Players Tribune published an absolutely amazing article today by God Shammgod. The NYC playground legend and current Dallas Mavericks' player development coach was able to jam so many tasty content nuggets into one article that I'm suddenly wondering who is working on his biography. You really must visit TPT to read the whole thing, but I'll just grab one little piece to share here in the interest of mixing sports and pop culture.

data-mm-id=”_wdml5yxou”>The Las Vegas Raiders were on the receiving end of a thorough beatdown at the hands of the Buffalo Bills today in Western New York. The Bills went up multiple scores early and did not let up as it seems everyone on the team worked to excise the demons lingering from their Week 1 meltdown loss to Zach Wilson. Things only got worse for Vegas when Jimmy Garoppolo targeted Davante Adams on a deep post route late in the fourth quarter and the All-Pro receiver got obliterated on a helmet-to-helmet hit.
