Jim Harbaugh is not known for calling out his own guys publicly, so when he tells Justin Herbert to simply "be better," the NFL takes notice. The Chargers signal-caller has been struggling, and Harbaugh's blunt two-word message signals the honeymoon period in Los Angeles is officially over.
Meanwhile, over in Philadelphia, Jaylen Brown suited up for the first time as a Sixer and came out swinging — not on the court, but at Colin Cowherd. Brown called out what he described as racial undertones in a rumor Cowherd spread over the summer, saying the media personality was spreading a "disease." Strong words from a man who clearly has something to prove in his new city alongside Embiid, Maxey, and now LeBron James.
And in college football, South Carolina pass rusher Dylan Stewart now has a hard number attached to his punishment — one game. The SEC handed down the suspension after Stewart was caught on camera throwing a punch against Alabama on Saturday night. The league called it egregious, and frankly, it's hard to argue otherwise.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
