Today Razib talks to Kyle Orton. Orton is a freelance researcher, writer, and editor specializing in security and foreign policy, with a particular focus on the Middle East, the Syrian war, regional geopolitics, and terrorist movements including the Islamic State (ISIS), Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). His work also ranges widely across history, including early Christianity, Islam and its relationship with the West, intelligence and espionage, the Reformation, the English Civil War, Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union, the First World War, Communism and the Cold War, and pre-Revolutionary Iran. Orton writes the newsletter It Can Always Get Worse, where he covers contemporary security issues alongside history, religion, intelligence, books, and occasional film reviews. His writing has appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, UnHerd, Newsweek, The Independent, The New Arab, and International Business Times. Orton and Razib's conversation begins with his post, The Sojourn of Arculf: An Eyewitness to "Early Islamic" Jerusalem - A Frankish bishop sheds some light on a historical dark age. Their discussion continues with probing the possibility that Islam as we know it truly did not exist any recognizable form before the 690s AD, and that the early "Saracens" as their Christian enemies referred to them were in fact a schismatic group of monotheists whose beliefs were adjacent to that of the Jews. Orton also discusses the role of Muhammad, or rather, the lack of the role of Muhammad, in the early years of the Islamic Caliphate. They also explore the possibility that later commentators largely attributed the negative reputation of Islam's first dynastic Caliphate, the Umayyads, to the reality that they would not recognize them as Muslims. Finally, Orton talks about the reality that some of the layers of text within the Koran seem far older than the time of Muhammad, perhaps by a century or so.

Goodbye, Saturday Night's Main Event. Welcome, Sunday Night's Main Event. For the first time in its four-decade history, the iconic professional wrestling series moves to Sunday, emanating from Atlanta. Cody Rhodes, a superstar with multi-generational ties to the city, headlines the card. Rhodes takes on his WrestleMania rival Randy Orton in a rematch months in the making. Orton delivered a devastating punt to Rhodes to end their match and Rhodes has been keen on getting his lick back ever since. Orton recently made his return to WWE TV and nearly delivered a similar blow to the one he did in the WrestleMania leadup where Rhodes head was placed on the ring steps and Orton smacked it with a chair. This time, authorities intervened in time.Perhaps the biggest match on Sunday, though, sees a pair of rising stars square off as Bron Breakker faces Oba Femi. Breakker has been tunnel-vision focused on Femi since seeing his mentor, Paul Heyman, approve of Femi's action at SummerSlam where Femi bested Brock Lesnar. Breakker is worried he is losing his mentor to another superstar and wants to prove himself again on Sunday.

Plus, WWE in Mexico City: Roman Reigns vs Penta, CM Punk vs Sami Zayn, Chelsea Green vs Nia Jax, Rey Fenix vs Ricky Starks, and more.Then we lock in predictions for Sunday Night's Main Event: Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton, Oba Femi vs Bron Breakker, Baron Corbin vs Lil Yachty, and the six-woman tag match.

(Riverton, WY) – Own your mistakes. Take accountability for yourself. When you have success, share it with others. And fly fish as much as you can. Those were the common themes delivered by former National Football League quarterback Kyle Orton Monday night as he spoke with the Riverton High School football team at the RHS Auditorium. Orton is no stranger to Fremont County. The Iowa-native told County 10 if he could fly fish anywhere in the world, he’d be right here. Kyle has been hitting the water here for the last few days. The exact location he chose not to disclose… we mentioned he’s a true fisherman after all. He accepted an invitation to meet and speak with the RHS student-athletes after a day tracking trout. During a 30 minute pre-practice session he took time to answer questions and sign several autographs. His football journey began in Iowa, which led to Indiana for college, becoming a Purdue Boilermaker. Purdue’s Head Coach at the time was a legend in the Cowboy State, Joe Tiller. After four years under Tiller, Kyle was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2005. Eventually, he’d play three seasons with the Denver Broncos, a year with the Kansas City Chiefs, two with the Dallas Cowboys and finished his career in 2014 a Buffalo Bill. Since retiring, he’s remained active in football as a high school coach for his Iowa alma mater. Kyle Orton with Riverton High School football coaches Photo: Jerrad Anderson During the Q&A Monday night, we learned Orton’s favorite wide receiver was Broncos and Bears legend Brandon Marshall. His favorite leader to play with was Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher. His favorite piece of advice is to find other people that work hard at the same things you do and push each other. Perhaps most interestingly though, he was presented with the question, “if you could go back in time and play one more game at any level, where would you go?” Orton thought for a second, skipped being an NFL celebrity or a college football success and said, “honestly I’d go back to high school and play with my friends.” Doubling down with, “there’s just something special about playing with your buddies.” Kyle summed up the session by telling the Wolverines to take practice one day at a time, “try to win each day. Practice hard. Like really fricking hard.” County 10 caught up with Orton for a quick chat after his time with the students, you can hear that interview in the player below or by searching for the County 10 Sports Podcast on all major podcast platforms. Riverton football begins their season August 28th at Powell. Every Wolverine game all season can be seen on the County 10 YouTube channel or find our radio broadcasts on 105.1 JACK-FM!
