The Buffalo Bills have a spitting problem. Defensive back Sam Franklin Jr. is the second Bills player suspended for unsportsmanlike conduct following last week's game against the Raiders. The league handed him a one-game ban, and Buffalo's got some serious locker room questions to answer.
Meanwhile, the NBA season is already delivering chaos. LeBron James lining up at center on opening night is not a sentence anyone expected to type, but Brian Windhorst breaks down how the Philadelphia seventy-sixers forced the Lakers into some creative adjustments during the season-opening tripleheader. Luka Doncic and company still have big unanswered questions after a transformative offseason, and night one did not exactly quiet the noise.
And down in Austin, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte is done with one particular Longhorns fan. After Florida pulled off the upset at Darrell K Royal Stadium, a fan with field access decided to get on camera flipping off the Gators. Del Conte made it official in his weekly newsletter — that fan is permanently banned from the stadium. Turns out field access has consequences.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
