Caylin Newton, Cam's little brother, led the Howard Bison (in his first ever start as a true freshman) to a victory over the UNLV Rebels. By point spread (+45), it's the biggest upset in modern history.

I guess it runs in the family.

How was UNLV 45 point favorites over any team? 

MEAC teams are generally considered pushovers at the FCS level, nevermind the FBS level (even considering how poor UNLV may be as a FBS program). Add to that Howard having only won 3 games the prior two seasons, and you get a 45 point underdog.

I know but still, UNLV is legit one of the worse teams in the country. Since 2001 they have only one season with a over .500 record. I think Liberty beating Baylor was a bigger upset

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
