Parris Campbell Abruptly Bids NFL Farewell at 28
Former Ohio State standout wideout Parris Campbell has unexpectedly retired from the NFL at just 28. A 2015 national champion in Columbus, Campbell entered the league as a second-round pick for the Colts in 2019 but was hampered by repeated injuries. He posted his career-best pro season in 2022 with 63 catches, 623 yards, and three touchdowns. After stops in Indianapolis, New York, Philadelphia, and Dallas—including a Super Bowl LIX-winning season with the Eagles—Campbell decided to hang up his cleats, leaving fans to wonder “what if?” about his untapped potential.
In a move that surely sent shockwaves through Ohio living rooms everywhere, Campbell’s retirement arrives just as fantasy football managers were drafting him in every third round. We can only assume he’s decided to pursue a new career path: professional couch critic. After all, who could resist the siren call of daytime TV and snack breaks every quarter-hour? His lasting legacy: singlehandedly inspiring a generation of athletes to treat their health like a limited-edition comic book—impressive art but prone to sudden cancellation.
Big Ten Drops OSU’s Early Season TV Dates… Finally
The Big Ten has officially announced the TV schedules, dates, and kickoff times for Ohio State’s first three games of the 2026 season. Ball State visits Columbus on August 29, Texas rolls into town on September 11, and Kent State makes the trip on September 19. All matchups come with network assignments—BTN, FOX, and ABC—and time slots as the conference plots its early-season lineup. Fans can also pencil in the traditional Ohio State–Michigan rivalry for Thanksgiving weekend on Fox at noon ET.
At long last, the universe’s biggest procrastinators—the Big Ten schedulers—have gifted us glorious official times. Now fans can plan their tailgate inflatable chicken tosses down to the last second. Stadium parking spots will be reserved by Monopoly houses, and neighbors will erect tents in driveways. It’s the early bird that gets the Wormbuster hot dog, folks. Meanwhile, those six-day holds for other games remain the conference’s version of “If we tell you now, we’ll have to kill you.” ABC might want to start selling tear-proof schedules.
