WASHINGTON -- Both the NFL and the Commission on Presidential Debates are rejecting Republican Donald Trumps assertions about the fall debates, which the billionaire businessman says have been rigged by his opponents to draw a smaller audience by scheduling two of them at the same time as a football game.Trump began by making an accusation in a tweet posted Friday night: As usual, Hillary & the Dems are trying to rig the debates so 2 are up against major NFL games. Same as last time w/ Bernie. Unacceptable!Trump expanded his conspiracy theory when asked about the debates during an interview for Sundays This Week on ABC: Well, Ill tell you what I dont like. Its against two NFL games. I got a letter from the NFL saying, `This is ridiculous. Why are the debates against -- `cause the NFL doesnt wanna go against the debates. `Cause the debates are gonna be pretty massive, from what I understand, OK?Asked about Trumps assertion, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted on Saturday: While wed obviously wish the Debate Commission could find another night, we did not send a letter to Mr Trump.A Trump aide said Saturday that the Republican candidate was made aware of the conflicting dates by a source close to the league. The aide was not authorized to speak by name and requested anonymity.The nonpartisan, independent presidential debate commission serves as the event sponsor and sets the participation criteria, dates, sites and formats. The sites and dates for three presidential debates were announced in September 2015.The CPD did not consult with any political parties or campaigns in making these decisions, the commission said in a statement issued Saturday.Two of the three debates will be televised at the same time as an NFL game. On Sept. 26, the night of the first debate, ESPN will carry the Monday night game featuring the Falcons vs. the Saints. On Oct. 9, the second debate will air opposite the Sunday night game featuring the Giants vs. the Packers on NBC.The Democratic Party was criticized during the primary race for scheduling debates between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday nights and holiday weekends, times when viewership is low. The Sanders campaign suggested that was an effort to limit the size of the audience.Trump told ABC: You know, Hillary Clinton wants to be against the NFL. She doesnt -- maybe like she did with Bernie Sanders, where they were on Saturday nights when nobodys home.The Clinton campaign did not comment on Trumps assertions.In the ABC interview, Trump said three debates were fine and that hed rather have three than one.---AP Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner in Springfield, New Jersey, and AP writers Jonathan Lemire in New York and Lisa Lerer in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, contributed to this report.

The Bottom 10 inspirational thought of the week:In a lifetime made of memories I believe in destiny Every moment returns again in time When Ive got the future on my mind Know that youll be the only oneMeet me halfway Across the sky Out where the world belongs To only you and I-- Meet Me Halfway by Kenny Loggins from Over The TopThe 2016 college football season is trucking through its halfway point. The nations best handful of teams are beginning to separate themselves from the pack. Here at Bottom 10 headquarters, located in the attic above the octagon where Kirk Herbstreit spars with his Twitter followers, we dont care for such neat, clean breakaways. We like messy. We prefer to hit the midway portion of the calendar face-first, like Tim Tebow into an outfield wall.In our world, teams dont separate and depart upward and away like a rocket stage. They drop off the bottom like a discarded booster, doomed to either burn up during re-entry or sink to the bottom of the sea. To most football fans, by mid-October those teams are already doomed to be forgotten. To us, they shall never be forgotten. We shall continue to watch them and admire them, even when others become incredulous and believe they are entirely too awful to be worth our time. These teams are like a movie about a truck-driving deadbeat dad who seeks redemption through arm wrestling.With apologies to Lincoln Hawk and Steve Harvey, heres this weeks Bottom 10.1. FA(not I)U?(1-6)These Owls are firmly nested on a branch of a tree that overlooks Heartbreak Ridge. On Saturday, they lost to Bottom 10 Waiting List member Marshall 27-21 after surrendering a touchdown pass with less than two minutes remaining. Thats their fourth straight loss by six points or fewer. All but one of those losses came at the hands -- more accurately the talons, paws and hooves -- of current and/or former members of this years Bottom 10. The countdown is on for next months Pillow Fight of the Century (PFOC!) against ...2. Rice (0-6) The Other Owls lost Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year VI (PFOWY6) to R-O-C-K in the UTSA. This week, they host Prairie View, and the following week, they travel to Louisiana Tech. But honestly, those games are mere garnish for the Nov. 5 visit from FA(not I)U, aka The Owl Bowl. Its fitting that Halloween is here, and Tootsie Pop is running the old TV ads with the kid and the owl because the old, wise bird might as well be answering the question, How many weeks before the Pillow Fight of the Century? Wah-one ... tah-hoo ... tha-ree! Three.3. Kansas Nayhawks?(1-5) KU suffered its 38th consecutive road loss, breaking a tie with Wichita States 1964-71 teams for the longest road losing streak by any FBS team since the division was established in 1937. In related news, a pickup truck full of old dudes was spotted driving into Lawrence from Wichita flipping birds and blasting Kansas Carry On Wayward Son.dddddddddddd.?4. I-Ow!-A State?(1-6) Assuming Earth survives the Owl Bowl on Nov. 5, it will need to brace itself for what happens the following weekend, when Iowa State travels to Kansas for the You Cant Expand The Big 12 House Until You Fix The Basement Bowl.5. Notre Dame ... again?(2-5)After much debate about what to do with this weeks coveted fifth spot, we took to the streets, posting a Bottom 10 poll of people on Twitter. The choices were: Tennessee for turning the third Saturday in October into early Halloween, Purdue for a midseason coaching change, the ACC Coastal for reverting back to its standard spaghetti pile mode and the Irish. Just like a Stanford strength coach during postgame handshakes, the people spoke loud and clear.6. UMess?(1-6) In the time it takes you to read this sentence, Louisiana Tech wide receiver?Carlos Henderson?will have most likely broken free for another touchdown reception of 40-plus yards.7. Bowling Green (1-6) Its on like Donkey Kong in the MAC East. Not the original Donkey Kong, but rather, Donkey Kong Jr., the rightfully forgotten sequel in which Mario is a total jerk. There are six teams in the division, and three have one-win records. BGSU is 1-6 after losing to Toledo and next week takes on Kent, which is 2-5 after losing to My Hammy of Ohio, which is also 1-6 and next week takes on Bowling Green. Meanwhile ...8. Buffalo Bulls not Bills?(1-5) Buffalo, which is also in the MAC East, will travel to Northern Illinois, which is the lone 1-and-something member of the MAC West. The next weekend, NIU will host Bowling Green. Over the final three weeks of the season, Buffalo plays both My Hammy and Bowling Green, but only after Bowling Green plays Kent. Just imagine if UMass were still in the MAC this year.9. In a Rut-gers?(2-5)Look on the bright side, Scarlet Knights, youll still be uber-relevant when the postseason arrives. The College Football Playoff selection committee loves to talk about the importance of the common opponent component (say that 10 times fast, Condoleezza). When their meetings begin in a few weeks and they throw Washington, Ohio State and Michigan up on their computer screens, theyll have to have the Who beat Rutgers worse, and what does that mean? debate.10. Pur-dont?(3-3)If you had the Boilermakers in your offices Who Will Fire Their Coach First To Get The Inside Track On Les Miles? pool, then congratulations. Also, I need to come to work at your office because your pools are awesome.Waiting list: UTEP (1-5), My Hammy of Ohio?(1-6), NI-Whew?(1-6),?Fres-No State (1-6), Georgia State Not Southern (1-5), getting smacked in the face by a ref, failure to expand.
