T.J. WATT\u2019S NFL DISRESPECT<\/p>\n
The NFL shared a graphic of the AFC North\u2019s best trio of pass rushers. Cleveland\u2019s Myles Garrett and Cincinnati\u2019s Trey Hendrickson made up the list. As they should, two of the best EDGE rushers at their position. One name missing? Pittsburgh\u2019s T.J. Watt. Instead, Baltimore\u2019s Kyle Van Noy was the third name included. All with the question of: Who will lead the NFL in sacks?<\/p>\n
The three-time sack leader would\u2019ve been a solid bet to add.<\/p>\n
No disrespect to Van Noy. He\u2019s had a career renaissance, recording 12.5 sacks in his age-33 season last year. But leaving Watt out is bold and feels like a true oversight, even as the NFL just named Watt the No. 11 player in the league.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Watt led the league in sacks in 2020, 2021, and 2023. Since the stat became official in 1982, he\u2019s the only player to ever do so in three separate seasons.<\/p>\n We’re sorry, the video cannot be played with adblocker enabled.<\/p>\n Please disable your adblocker and refresh the page, or go ad-free<\/a>!<\/p>\n Will Howard At OSU<\/p>\n Will Howard had some good news to uplift his spirits after landing on injured reserve earlier this week. With the Steelers off until Monday, he was in Columbus to watch Ohio State begin its 2025 season after Howard led the program to a championship a year ago. Hosting No. 1 Texas, Ohio State left with a hard-fought 14-7 win.<\/p>\n The Buckeyes\u2019 defense held Texas\u2019 highly-touted QB Arch Manning, who completed just 17-of-30 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. WR Carnell Tate and RB CJ Donaldson found the end zone for Ohio State to start the season 1-0, picking up where Howard left off.<\/p>\n Corso\u2019s Final Pick<\/p>\n Longtime analyst and face of College GameDay Lee Corso made his 431st and final headgear selection Saturday. Just as he started nearly 30 years ago, Corso\u2019s last pick mirrored his first, donning Brutus\u2019 head and picking Ohio State.<\/p>\n \u201cGive me my first love,\u201d Corso said.<\/p>\n “Give me my first love!”<\/p>\n Lee Corso’s first-ever headgear pick belonged to Brutus and the Buckeyes and it’s only fitting that his last one is the same \u2764\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/A8Fgj8b3TR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) August 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Corso picked Ohio State to beat Penn State in 1996 in his first headgear choice. The Buckeyes won then and won today, knocking off No. 1 Texas. Corso, 90, retired after the episode, leaving a piece of college football history, and many childhood\u2019s, behind.<\/p>\n
