If the Cleveland Browns struggle again in the upcoming season, they may find themselves at a crossroads and might see themselves trying to get a quarterback like Arch Manning and so much more in the near future.

Outlets like Colin Cowherd have floated the notion that Cleveland could pursue a dramatic reboot.

Cowherd, the host of The Herd, made a peculiar pitch on his show, which involves Texas quarterback Arch Manning joining legendary head coach Nick Saban in the NFL.

Saban, who retired from coaching in 2024, has been put back into the coaching spotlight after ESPN’s Greg McElroy reported that a “very much in the know person” told him they believe Nick Saban will return to coaching.

That information led Cowherd to make a pitch proposing that Manning and Saban join the Cleveland Browns in 2026.

“Nick’s an SEC guy, knows the Manning family well. If Arch Manning plays well, if he plays it like a B+, A- level, he’s going No. 1 in the draft,” Cowherd said.

 

“Cleveland, very likely, is going to be the worst team in the league. Nobody’s going to lose sleep with that. Arch Manning in Cleveland? The owner’s Jimmy Haslam, a huge SEC, Tennessee booster who loves headlines?

Manning is poised to significantly impact the 2025 college football season as the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns.

Manning gave fans plenty to be excited about in his limited action. In his two starts, Manning completed 41-of-his-60 pass attempts for 583 yards and four touchdowns while only throwing two interceptions. He also recorded 29 rushing yards and a touchdown.

The Athletic devised seven tiers to evaluate and group quarterbacks in Division I football.

According to these rankings, Manning is a Tier 1 quarterback.

Now he has to prove it on the field.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
