Kyle Shanahan is back in the headlines, and this time it's off the field. Palo Alto Police have confirmed that no charges were filed following the July fourteenth crash that left the San Francisco Niners head coach seriously injured. Authorities say neither party received preferential treatment in that decision, but the optics are going to keep this one in the conversation.
Meanwhile, the FIFA world is watching Gianni Infantino's grip on power loosen by the day. His FFE proposal to essentially sell shares of the World Cup has landed with a thud, and the backlash is fierce. Calls for the FIFA president to resign are growing louder across the global football community, and sources suggest the walls are genuinely closing in on his tenure at the top.
And in college football, Indiana's Curt Cignetti is not backing down from his Big Ten pulpit. Armed with statistics, he declared the conference the best league in football and took what sounded a lot like a direct shot at the SEC, saying, and I'm quoting here, we don't cry a river. Cignetti has the Hoosiers playing with real credibility this season, and he is absolutely leaning into it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
