  • Ohtani’s Chokehold, Herbert’s Faltering, Week 6 Preview

    Ohtani’s Chokehold, Herbert’s Faltering, Week 6 Preview
    Oct 16 2026
    Max Kellerman and Ringer staff writer Anthony Dabbundo break down a wild Thursday night. Sean Payton keeps it balanced, protects the ball, and takes down the defending champs, while Seattle’s two-to-one pass-heavy attack falls apart when it matters most. Meanwhile, the QB landscape is a mess. Jalen Hurts is out with a blood clot, Caleb Williams is limping on a torn hamstring, and Justin Herbert, once the next big thing, is starting to look a lot like Kirk Cousins. Then, the small-market Brewers sweep the Dodgers with a fearless bullpen and bats nobody feared. Ohtani’s October questions get louder, and the owners have a problem: “Small markets can’t compete” just took a beating. The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

  • Dak, Purdy, Skubal, and the Plan to Fix Baseball

    Dak, Purdy, Skubal, and the Plan to Fix Baseball
    Oct 10 2026
    Max Kellerman and The Ringer’s Anthony Dabbundo break down a Thursday-night flop Max calls “the most goddamn hilarious thing.” The NFC East is suddenly anybody’s division, and Dak Prescott’s ceiling is up for debate. Then comes the question of the week: Is Brock Purdy the MVP so far, or just another product of Kyle Shanahan’s system? The Dodgers and Brewers are about to square off, and Milwaukee may have blown it at the deadline by passing on Tarik Skubal. Will it cost them this series? Before the show ends, Max unveils his plan to fix baseball’s economics. Will anyone agree? The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

    Oct 5 2026

  • T.O. Settles the Stephen A. Score and Stands by Skipping Canton. Plus, the Broken-Leg Super Bowl.

    T.O. Settles the Stephen A. Score and Stands by Skipping Canton. Plus, the Broken-Leg Super Bowl.
    Oct 2 2026
    Was Terrell Owens the most unfairly covered star of his era? Max and T.O. take it on directly, years after T.O. told Stephen A. on First Take that Max "almost seems blacker than you." T.O. goes after Skip Bayless and the pundits who repeated his story, and he still says nobody has ever heard a teammate back it up. Then come the stories only T.O. can tell: signing a waiver to play Super Bowl XXXIX on a broken leg, and his lack of regret for skipping Canton. Plus: T.O.'s message to Deshaun Watson, the Week 4 slate, and Max's advice to C.J. Stroud: take the $50 million. So ... who's the best receiver in the NFL right now?
