On Tuesday, ESPN aired a seven-and-a-half-minute “Anchorman” spoof featuring hosts of various programs going at it over intra-company supremacy.

It was a weak edition of Raw this week as WWE management clearly knew that they would have a smaller audience due to the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Former LSU football coach Les Miles’ firing this weekend means the college football world is without one of its most colorful figures, at least until Miles gets another job.
