Ten years after Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem, Clay Travis revisits the protest movement that transformed the NFL and American politics — and argues that the consequences of Black Lives Matter, Defund the Police and anti-police activism deserve far more scrutiny.

Clay examines murder trends from the years following Kaepernick's protest and contrasts them with the sharp declines he says cities across America are experiencing in 2026. He makes the case that supporting effective policing saves lives and explains why he believes America's falling murder rate should be one of the country's biggest positive stories.

Then Clay turns to the sports world. Tennessee football will honor Dolly Parton with a helmet decal, and Clay reflects on what the Tennessee icon meant to his home state. He also revisits his infamous Will Levis take after Kelly Stewart explains the social-media post that got Clay roasted online.

Plus, Dabo Swinney says college football's eligibility situation is “embarrassing,” and Clay agrees, blasting a system in which court rulings have created uncertainty over who can play. With LSU-Clemson approaching, Clay weighs in on the possibility of former NFL players returning to college football.

Finally, Clay makes his early Heisman Trophy case for Arch Manning, breaks down contenders including CJ Carr, Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, Dante Moore, Gunner Stockton and Sam Leavitt, and explains why he's picking Texas to win the national championship.
