The wildest things celebrity guest picker Johnny Knoxville said on College Gameday

It's been quite the scene in Knoxville, Tennessee, Saturday. President Donald Trump is in attendance, the No. 1 team in the country is in town, Holly Rowe and Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian had their first interview since he abruptly ended their interview following their upset win over Ohio State, and Johnny Knoxville was ESPN College Gameday's celebrity guest picker. While dressed in a complete Tennessee Volunteers football uniform, Knoxville made some statements that were just as outrageous as some of his stunts on MTV’s hit show "Jackass."

LANE KIFFIN COULDN'T HELP HIMSELF, TAKES PETTY SHOT AT OLE MISS FANS AFTER LSU LOSS IN HIS RETURN TO OXFORD

When choosing the winner of the Missouri and Mississippi State, Knoxville hilariously took aim at McAfee's musical career. "I'm so sure about this game, that if Missouri loses, I will punish myself by listening to Pat McAfee's new album on repeat until Halloween." McAfee busted out a huge laugh immediately with Knoxville saying, "No offense."

PAT MCAFEE MIGHT HAVE MADE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION JOKE ON 'COLLEGE GAMEDAY,' LIBERALS LOSE THEIR MINDS

During the Georgia vs Oklahoma selection, Knoxville assigned some pretty gross medical ailments to the respective teams. "You know, I'm from Knoxville so this is like rooting for the gout versus the syphilis. I'm going with the gout. I'll take Georgia," Knoxville stated, while McAfee put his face in his hands and Herbstreit shook his head in disbelief. I hope your kids weren't watching this selection, folks.

LSU head coach Lane Kiffin is the butt of many jokes this season after his rough departure from Ole Miss in the offseason and the loss last Saturday against his former squad so the moment to choose LSU or Texas A&M was primed for Knoxville to lower the boom in his own, special, usually gross way. "I don't know how anyone can root for Lane "Left Out in the Parking Lot" Kiffin. He is to college football what toe fungus is to flip flops. I'm going with A&M."

Now it was time for the Volunteers fans to pick the winner of Texas vs Tennessee. After discussing the Tennessee defensive questions, and taking a shot at Texas' offense, Knoxville made his pick. "After the game today, Tennessee will remain the real UT, and Texas will remain the real UTI." The reaction by Rece Davis and Desmond Howard was priceless. Both of them couldn't believe their ears, but it shouldn't have been a shocker after two-plus minutes of unhinged statements.

Knoxville also jokingly tried slipping a referee a $20 bill pregame during an interview. He was truly a one-of-a-kind, PG-13-rated guest.

Your favorite grocery and snack items may have disappeared from store shelves in 2026

Shoppers are mourning several grocery store products this year, from a nostalgic juice staple to cult-favorite snack flavors reportedly being cleared from shelves.

Some 2026 grocery exits are confirmed, while others have been reported by food outlets and shoppers.

Coca-Cola confirmed a longtime freezer-aisle exit because of "shifting consumer preferences," The Associated Press reported earlier this year.

DANNON'S DECISION TO KILL BELOVED YOGURT SPARKS FAN REVOLT: 'IT'S WHAT I GOT OUT OF BED FOR'

Meanwhile, PepsiCo announced last year that it planned to reduce nearly 20% of its U.S. product offerings as part of an effort to focus on products with simpler ingredients and functional benefits. Food outlets have reported that more than 20 snacks could be affected, though PepsiCo has not confirmed every individual product.

Tasting Table recently featured a list of likely discontinued items across several major brands. Here are five of the top items.

OLD-SCHOOL SODA WENT FROM BEING A TOP BRAND TO NEARLY UNFINDABLE

Coca-Cola is ending Minute Maid frozen orange juice, lemonade and limeade products, which many shoppers remember fondly from childhood. The company said the move ends its presence in the frozen-can category after 80 years.

"My family would buy these to make frozen icees in the summer," one person wrote in the subreddit r/Millennials. "Can't believe they're being discontinued."

COCA-COLA QUIETLY AXED ONE REAGAN-ERA DRINK THAT DISAPPEARED FROM STORE SHELVES

"This is devastating. Nothing compares. My comfort drink," another said.

Blue Bell’s Butter Crunch, vanilla ice cream filled with chunks of crunchy chocolate peanut butter candy, is also gone for now. The company’s own product page says the flavor "is no longer available."

"I want them to bring back Butter Crunch so dang bad," one Reddit user wrote in a thread devoted to Blue Bell flavors shoppers want to see return.

Cheese Pizza Cheetos Puffs returned in 2025 after a 20-year hiatus, but food outlets have reported that the flavor is now being phased out again.

The pizza-inspired puffs were among the PepsiCo cuts Allrecipes reported.

The flavor drew mixed reviews, with some Reddit users saying it did not taste much like pizza, while another said, "I am addicted to these things."

Lay’s Sweet Potato Poppables are another snack reportedly being removed from shelves amid PepsiCo’s broader reductions.

The light, sweet potato-flavored snack no longer appears among the flavors on Lay’s current Poppables page. Reports have said the product is one of several Poppables varieties being discontinued, although PepsiCo has not confirmed.

"These were such a comfort food of mine," one Reddit user lamented. Another said his girlfriend's "heart breaks every time she goes to the store because they no longer carry them."

While some retailers may still have inventory of Smartfood's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn flavor, fans say the flavor has become harder to find following PepsiCo's cuts.

"Smartfood betrayed me and discontinued their Movie Theater Butter flavor and I'm a wreck," one Reddit user wrote.

Why Yankees ace Cam Schlittler is in the AL MVP conversation and could join an exclusive club

If you shoot for the moon, you will land among the stars. In Cam Schlittler’s case, however, he and his blazing fastball may take him past the stars and straight to the moon.

The New York Yankees ace has been nothing short of dominant this season. The swashbuckling 25-year-old is all but a lock to win the American League Cy Young Award.

But why stop there? He should win the American League MVP too. Schlittler should become just the 12th player in MLB history to win the Cy Young and MVP in the same season.

Heading into his final start of the year against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, Schlittler leads all American League pitchers in ERA (1.94) and is tied for first in WHIP with Drew Rasmussen (0.91). He has been durable, making all his starts, and is second in the AL in innings pitched (190 2/3).

With a devastating combination of cutters, sinkers and fastballs, the young right-hander has racked up 234 strikeouts, third in the AL behind Cleveland Guardians ace Gavin Williams (244) and likely Cy Young runner-up Dylan Cease (239).

Schlittler has set a Yankees franchise record by allowing one or no runs in 21 starts this year. He became just the third pitcher age 25 or younger in the live-ball era, which began in 1920, to achieve the feat, joining Dean Chance (1964) and Blake Snell (2018).

Schlittler also leads the AL in bWAR with 7.0, ahead of other MVP contenders such as Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez (6.6), Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. (6.5) and Rays phenom Junior Caminero (5.6).

The numbers for Schlittler are outstanding, but they don’t tell the full story.

Schlittler has been the pillar of the Yankees' pitching staff, which leads all of baseball with a 3.21 team ERA.

While the pitching staff has been fantastic, it has have dealt with plenty of injuries to the starting rotation.

Gerrit Cole didn’t make his season debut until May 22, as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. Carlos Rodón began the season on the IL after undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur and loose bodies and didn’t debut until May 10. That was just his first stint on the IL. He returned to the IL on July 3 and didn’t come back until Aug. 18.

Rodón was not the only Yankees ace to land on the IL twice, as Max Fried did as well. Fried first went on the IL with a left elbow bone bruise on May 13, right after Cole returned, and was activated on July 22. He went on the IL for a second time on Aug. 17 with the same injury and returned Aug. 29.

Ryan Weathers, who had been key in stepping up during the absences of Cole, Fried and Rodón, went on the IL on Aug. 23 with a left forearm flexor strain.

For the Yankees, not only was it paramount that Schlittler make every start, but it was also essential that he remain dominant to help keep the rotation afloat.

Adding to the pressure on Schlittler and the pitching staff as a whole, the Yankees’ offense cratered after Aaron Judge was placed on the IL at the beginning of June. Since June 1, the Yankees have hit a paltry .229 with a putrid .297 on-base percentage.

The Yankees’ offensive ineptitude put further pressure on Schlittler and Co. to win games without Judge.

In 2023, the Yankees’ season went off the rails when Judge suffered a torn ligament in his toe. They went 25-31 without the captain and missed the postseason. The Yankees’ pitching staff in 2023, led by Cole, who won the AL Cy Young Award that season, had a 3.97 ERA, which was not enough to save the Yankees from finishing 82-80.

In 2026, the Yankees went 48-41 without Judge in the lineup, buoyed by the pitching staff’s excellence. Carried by the Schlittler-led pitching staff, the Yankees made the postseason and secured home-field advantage in the American League Wild Card Series.

While the Yankees didn’t catch the Tampa Bay Rays and win the American League East, they might have missed the postseason entirely if it weren’t for Schlittler.

By the award’s definition, Schlittler has been the most valuable player on his team.

Alvarez has been dominant in his own right. The hulking left-handed hitter, with a .316 batting average, 41 home runs and 102 RBI made a bid for the Triple Crown, but that seems out of reach.

Alvarez has been primarily a designated hitter, filling that role in 131 of the 154 games he played this season. Shohei Ohtani is the only player to win an MVP as a primary designated hitter, and he did so after becoming the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season.

Unless Alvarez surges to win the Triple Crown, nothing he is doing this season is unprecedented or historic.

Alvarez’s Astros, who are 78-80, might miss the postseason despite playing in the American League West, a division that has been historically bad.

Bobby Witt Jr. has been his usual superstar self but missed 11 games due to injury and has also taken a slight step back from last season while playing for the AL Central-worst Kansas City Royals.Caminero, the linchpin of the AL-leading Rays’ lineup, trails Schlittler in bWAR by more than a full win. Still, his .274 average and 41 home runs leave him in the thick of the AL MVP race.

Despite the excellence of Alvarez, Witt and Caminero, Schlittler should become the first pitcher since Justin Verlander in 2011 to win the American League MVP.

Verlander, like Schlittler this year, led the American League in bWAR with 8.6.

Without Schlittler, the Yankees do not survive Judge’s absence. When the Yankees could hardly scrape together three runs a game in the dead of summer, Schlittler made sure it was enough to hold on.

Without Schlittler’s dominance and durability, the Yankees do not have the second-best record in the American League (91-67).

Without Schlittler, Yankees fans are in a complete state of panic because they might still be trying to secure a Wild Card berth in a weak American League.

At the sportsbooks, Schlittler is a long shot to win the American League MVP. But odds be damned, the award should be his. He has landed on the moon.

Husband charged with murder after realtor wife found shot dead inside home in wealthy Virginia county

A Northern Virginia real estate agent was shot and killed allegedly by her husband inside their home Tuesday, triggering a multi-state manhunt that ended hours later with his arrest in Pennsylvania, authorities said.

Roger Bradford, 60, of Aldie, was charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in the death of his wife, 54-year-old Lisa Bradford, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies were called to a home in the 24000 block of Quimby Oaks Place shortly after noon after a relative contacted authorities, reported that Bradford was allegedly involved in his wife's death and asked them to check the home, Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman said during a news conference Tuesday.

Pennsylvania State Police located Bradford and took him into custody in Bedford, Pennsylvania, at about 3:15 p.m., roughly three hours after deputies first responded to the home, FOX 5 DC reported.

Authorities believe the shooting was domestic in nature, though investigators had not yet determined whether there had been previous domestic incidents involving the couple.

Jon Sumrall shares hilarious response to hearing his Florida team is favored against Ole Miss

The Florida Gators welcome the Ole Miss Rebels to Gainesville on Saturday afternoon, and while Florida head coach Jon Sumrall is confident in his team's ability to upset the No. 4 team in the nation, that doesn't mean he has to agree with what Vegas is saying ahead of the monster SEC match up.

During his Monday press conference, Sumrall reflected on the Gators' 44-39 win on the road at Auburn before turning the page to what will be his first primetime match up while manning the sideline in The Swamp with the Rebels in town.

When a reporter indicated that Florida was favored in the game as of Monday afternoon, he looked to his right before delivering a funny, yet also authentic reaction.

"Who has us favored against these guys?" Sumrall asked the room.

When the reporter indicated that it was Vegas that had the Gators favored, Sumrall joked that "there are a lot of good drugs out there."

Florida is 3-0 on the season and will welcome Ole Miss to town having just jumped into the AP Top 25 Poll at No. 21, but it is quite clear that the sportsbooks see Saturday's contest as a major letdown spot for a Rebels team removed from taking down LSU at home in one of the most emotional games you'll ever see.

If you believe in trap games, this is as trappy as they come.

It's not an easy task for a team to come off such an emotional high like Ole Miss experienced against LSU, immediately put it in the rear-view, and turn the focus to what will be a mighty stiff test against a Florida team looking to enter the contender conversation playing on its own turf.

LANE KIFFIN WALKED BACK INTO OXFORD AS THE MAIN CHARACTER, BUT OLE MISS AND PETE GOLDING STOLE HIS SPOTLIGHT

One could argue that Ole Miss owns the strongest resume in all of college football thus far, with a win over Louisville in a neutral-site game to begin the season and then an eight-point victory over Lane Kiffin and the Tigers. The Rebels are also led by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who could be the clubhouse leader for the Heisman Trophy, and who has his offense clicking at a dangerous level.

Speaking of the Heisman, Florida running back Jadan Baugh may be a main character in that conversation sooner rather than later.

Florida's offense has been elite through three games this season as well, scoring 66 points against FAU, 52 points against Campbell, and then hanging 44 points on Auburn on the road against what many believe is a well-above-average Tigers defense.

One thing is for sure, and that is Sumrall or the players inside his locker won't be buying into the idea that Ole Miss is going to enter The Swamp feeling like an underdog after the performance the Rebels put together against LSU in Week 3.

Caleb Williams avoids major hamstring injury as MRI reveals a strain but no tear after Vikings game scare

The most important MRI in the history of the Chicago Bears (maybe) returned good news on Monday because quarterback Caleb Williams avoided a major injury.

A source tells OutKick that Williams has a strained hamstring injury and that he is not expected to miss significant time following a major scare during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Williams has what is being described as a Grade 1 hamstring strain.

CALEB WILLIAMS CARTED OFF AT SOLDIER FIELD WITH APPARANT HAMSTRING INJURY

That means he may miss between one and three weeks while he rehabilitates. Bears coach Ben Johnson told ESPN1000 in Chicago on Monday he expects Williams to be "week-to-week."

Netflix Sports reported the Bears have not ruled out Williams for next Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The source told OutKick that was a "very optimistic" outlook.

What is realistic is that Williams avoided a full detachment of his hamstring, which was the fear after he went down untouched during a scramble out of the pocket in the game against the Vikings.

SCARY SCENE AS JAYDEN REED CARTED OFF ON SPINE BOARD DURING PACKERS GAME AGAINST THE JETS

But the player's reaction was not indicative of the injury's seriousness, apparently.

Not even close, apparently.

His hamstring remains completely attached and structurally intact.

Williams was heard screaming as he lay on the turf and was eventually carted off the field amid the fear it could be his last time in uniform this season.

Williams, who has suffered and overcome hamstring issues in the past, is expected to begin a rehab program as early as Monday.

The Bears will go with backup quarterback Tyson Bagent in the games Williams misses, coach Ben Johnson said on Sunday.
