By TJ Troup Tomorrow night the season begins, and no doubt a joyful time for so many across this great red, white, and blue Nation. My first question to all of you: which game is the most compelling? When you are a fan of a team, you most likely will watch your team play and maybe check out a couple of the other games. Minnesota and Green Bay have forged a nasty rivalry, and since my favorite rivalry is the Niners vs. the Rams will be watching or paying attention to updates on the games. The well-coached Houston Texans easily won their wild card game, then lost. The Buffalo Bills won their wild card game, then lost a heartbreaker to Denver. Buffalo travels to Texas to take on Houston and for me this game is the most compelling. Tom SestakAdditionally, the Buffalo Bills have had a couple of dandy games on Sunday, September 13th in their history. After losing to the Boston Patriots in the '63 playoffs, the expectations for the Bills in '64 at the Rockpile were gonna be fun/rewarding! A crowd of 30,157 saw their team score 31 points in the 1st quarter in demolishing the Chiefs. Leading 24-0 with just a couple of minutes left in the half, Tom Sestak "read the set-up and smelled a screen pass, so I drifted over to the right". Big Ses returned the interception 15 yards for the touchdown. Denver assistant coach Red Miller scouted the game and commented with the title for this week's column. Though the Chiefs answered with 17 points, was not near enough in the Buffalo 34-17 victory. Many of the Bills players had rock-solid games, yet the game belonged to "Big Ses" as he also pillaged the Kansas City pass pocket to record multiple sacks and recovered a fumble. How many defensive tackles in league history have recorded a sack, a fumble recovery and an interception in a game? For those of you who don't remember '64 (I do), that Bills team was a juggernaut and won their first Championship. Now, let's turn the page to 1992. By far the #1 question for the Bills was: could they return to the AFC title game for the third consecutive season? Buffalo will be at San Francisco for the September 13th game against a 49er team that has everything you want in a team. Buffalo gains 598 yards in total offense in their "K-gun" offense as Jim Kelly becomes the first Bills QB to throw for over 400 yards in a game. Since Steve Young shreds the Bills secondary for 447 yards, we have, for the just the third time in history, two quarterbacks gaining over 400 yards in passing in the same game. San Francisco leads at the half 24-17, but the Bills will not be denied as Thurman Thomas dashes 11 yards for the winning score. The 1,086 yards gained by both teams is the fourth most total yards gained in a game through 1992, yet what still stands out to me the most. NEITHER team punted! Will we see that this weekend? Enjoy the games, see ya next week.

Picking four figures to grace a franchise’s ultimate monument is a tough task for any fan. ESPN analyst Mina Kimes recently found herself on the hot seat when former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman put her on the spot to name her Seattle Seahawks Mount Rushmore. Kimes immediately singled out legendary offensive tackle Walter Jones, Hall of Fame wide receiver Steve Largent, and dominant defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy. “Walter Jones, Largent, Oh I love Cortez Kennedy so much,” Kimes admitted during her guest appearance. What's your Mount Rushmore of Seahawks pic.twitter.com/PYVvqnzPG3 — Games with Names (@gameswithnames) September 8, 2026 When filling the fourth spot, the decision got tricky. Quarterback Russell Wilson earned heavy consideration for delivering Seattle its first Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XLVIII. In that 43-8 blowout victory over the Denver Broncos, Wilson completed 18 of 25 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, boasting an impressive 123.1 passer rating. “I think you gotta put Russ on there, bringing the Super Bowl, I really do,” Kimes noted. “But then, how do you choose from this defense? Like of this defense, probably Sherman is the choice, but like how do you not choose Bobby Wagner? How do you not choose Earl Thomas who’s like the straw that stirred the entire drink?” Cornerback Richard Sherman, linebacker Bobby Wagner, and safety Earl Thomas served as the core foundation of the iconic “Legion of Boom” defense that held the high-powered Broncos offense to just eight points in that championship game. While Kimes wrestled with balancing offensive icons and defensive legends, she gave a special nod to former running back Marshawn Lynch. “Walter Jones, you gotta have Big Walt on there obviously, and then I’ll say like he’s not on there, but Marshawn Lynch is my personal favorite of all time,” Kimes said. Whether fans lean toward the historic legends of the past or the core pieces of the championship squad, narrowing decades of Seahawks football down to just four faces remains an endless debate.

Now almost a week after the announcement of their punishment, the LA Clippers are trying to get their house in order before the start of the 2026-27 NBA season. Kawhi Leonard is still a Clipper, but is expected to head to the Toronto Raptors in short time. The Clippers will be without suspended owner Steve Ballmer for one whole year and without suspended President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank for six months as part of the NBA’s harsh hammer landed for circumventing the salary cap. The NBA has announced their findings from the Kawhi Leonard investigation and HEAVILY punished the LA Clippers. — Clippers forfeit 5 first-round draft picks – one in each of the 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033 NBA Drafts. — Clippers are fined $30 million. — Clippers owner… pic.twitter.com/3hSnS82Z6F — Tomer Azarly (@TomerAzarly) September 2, 2026 Additionally, Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker is also suspended for an entire year alongside Ballmer. Without their lead decision maker in Frank and Ballmer, the Clippers are presently working on structuring their front office, which is likely a direct reason the Kawhi Leonard trade with the Toronto Raptors has not been finalized. Trent Redden, LA Clippers General Manager, appears to be the next man in line to lead the Clippers decision-makers. Alongside him, the Clippers also have high-ranking front office members like Assistant General Managers Jud Winton and Mark Hughes, Executive Director of Basketball Operations Rishabh Desai, and Senior Manager of Basketball Operations, Marcus Banks. Back in late June, just before the start of free agency, the Clippers and Toronto Raptors agreed on a framework for a trade that would send Kawhi Leonard to Toronto in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first round picks, two second round picks, and one first round pick swap. The Raptors then put the trade on hold after being told they could be facing some of the penalties if Leonard were on their team and he was found guilty of something in the NBA’s investigation. Since the start of July, the trade has been on hold and continues to be. At this time, the trade doesn’t appear to be in jeopardy and the originally agreed-upon framework of the trade should still be what ends up being finalized. The biggest headline of the Clippers’ punishments is having to forfeit five first-round draft picks, one in each of the 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033 NBA Drafts. Additionally, the Clippers are also being fined $30 million. According to the NBA, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has also been suspended from all league and team activities for one year for knowingly seeking to help Leonard obtain off-court income opportunities, for approving a business deal that he knew was a precondition for Aspiration to enter into an endorsement agreement with Leonard, and for his failure to create conditions under which his organization abided by the NBA’s circumvention rules. Along with Ballmer facing a suspension, both team President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker and President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank will face penalties. Zucker has been suspended by the NBA without pay for one year for being primarily and directly culpable for the impermissible endorsement arrangements and for providing false and misleading statements to investigators. Frank has been suspended without pay for six months for his involvement with the impermissible endorsement arrangements and for approving impermissible expenses incurred by Leonard and his family. The Clippers organization and personnel are also subject to a compliance and monitoring program overseen by the league office for a period of five years. In connection with his violations, Leonard is required to pay the league $700,000. No further punishments were announced for Leonard himself, but Mr. Robertson, also known as Kawhi’s “Uncle Dennis,” has been banned from conducting business or otherwise engaging with NBA teams and their affiliates on behalf of or with respect to any player, employee, or other league or team personnel for a period of five years. Media Day in the NBA is set to start on September 28th. The post 7 days after NBA punishment, why Kawhi Leonard has not been traded to Raptors appeared first on ClutchPoints.
