One of the most jarring parts of watching sports is the omnipresence of advertisements. The discerning fan can look past most ads and blur them into the background, which is a problem that jersey patches are intended to solve. If you watched, say, LaMelo Ball during, say, the one year that Mr. Beast's Lunchables knockoff sponsored the Hornets, you'd be confronted with that stupid little patch all the time.

So, this week on Nothing But Respect, Harry and I went on a long journey with Alex Bazeley and Bobby Wagner of Tipping Pitches, wherein we ranked every single jersey sponsor by how evil they are. The home-and-home took us nearly three hours, and it's spread across both of our feeds. We did the East on Tipping Pitches and the West on NBR.

Ohio State beat Texas 14-7 on college football's opening weekend, spoiling Arch Manning's big debut and committing the most egregious of crimes against The Discourse: making people who bloviate about sports sound dumb. Truth be told, the score does not indicate just how much OSU dominated Texas, as the Buckeyes' QB, Julian Sayin, was put on training wheels for his first game. Manning did not look great. He struggled with OSU's defensive scheme, over- and under-threw multiple receivers, and really just looked overwhelmed and timid throughout. Even for the Manning skeptics, he played worse than expected.
