John Middlekauff discusses Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa's challenging decision—should he retire after suffering multiple serious concussions, or is the money he's owed worth the risk? John also covers how Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields may have earned a longer leash and questions whether the Chicago Bears should have drafted an offensive lineman after seeing Caleb Williams take several hits just two games into the season.

In the Kauff on Campus segment, John previews the highly anticipated Oklahoma vs. Tennessee college football matchup, and speculates on whether Arch Manning will keep the starting QB position at Texas. He also explores the potential fallout if Florida State loses to Cal and the implications of USC vs. Michigan amid conference realignment.
