Landon Robinson, Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive tackle and seventh-round pick, arrived at Paycor Stadium in his U.S. Navy Service Dress Blue uniform before his first NFL game. A former Naval Academy standout, Robinson is a 2026 Navy graduate and Marine Corps officer serving in the reserves. He is permitted to pursue professional football under a service-academy program. Video of the arrival went viral. Robinson remained inactive for the Bengals' season opener against Tampa Bay. Left-rated headlines from Bleacher Report and the Akron Beacon Journal foregrounded the viral video of the uniformed arrival and identified Robinson as a Copley, Ohio native. Right-rated headlines from Fox News and Breitbart described him as a former Navy midshipman and Navy graduate appearing in full dress or formal service uniform. The record lists no center-rated coverage and includes no verbatim quotes.

CFP, ESPN Agree to 24-Team Playoff Expansion

The College Football Playoff says its expanded media-rights agreement with ESPN is in final review, paving the way for a proposed 24-team playoff starting in 2027, with four Power Four automatic bids, one Group of Six bid and 19 at-large spots. The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.
