The Nicolas De La Pava Flag Football Tournament at Fox Lane Beats the Heat with Love and Friendship
On Saturday Aug 4, five teams gathered at Fox Lane High School for the Third Annual Nicolas De La Pava Flag Football Tournament. Raising scholarship funding in the memory of the former football standout, the sweltering heat of the day could have easily zapped the strength of the fans and players in attendance. But the elements didn’t stand a chance against the driving force of this family and friendship fueled event, according to Nick’s Mother Myriam De La Pava.

World Cup in Qatar raised and still raises many questions. From bribery affairs in organizing the event to the civil rights of (dead) workers who built stadiums. Some cultural limitations didn’t help either. However, one thing bothered me the most. Timing. But not in the wrong way. In a way, nobody saw that as an opportunity of experiencing one of the best tournaments ever.

It looked like the old Tennessee Titans were back with their 30-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field last Sunday. The win came after the Titans built a 24-7 lead heading into halftime, but it was never that easy, as the Packers battled back in the second half to make things interesting late in the game. Fortunately, Tennessee's defense made plays when they needed to and stood tall when it mattered most to secure the victory and keep their playoff hopes alive going forward in the 2022 season. Here are three key takeaways from the Titans' big win over Green Bay.

This is my second year writing week-by-week NFL recaps, and I've never started with Monday Night Football. Of course, it's not every Monday that the last unbeaten team loses on that day. The Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, and upon looking at the matchup, a thought entered my mind. The last time Washington faced off against an undefeated Pennsylvania team? Washington won. They defeated the 11-0 Pittsburgh Steelers two years prior, and interestingly, that was a Monday game (due to COVID outbreaks postponing the game). So could this team do it again?

I entered this year's Division Finals very excited. I always love the Grey Cup Playoffs, and I enjoy the Division Finals because it's that final step before the big game; similar to the Conference Championships in the NFL. But my main reason for my excitement comes from my Toronto Argonauts fandom. While this is the second straight year that the Eastern Final emanates from Toronto, I felt that this year would be different. Last year was disappointing. The Argonauts left too many points on the board, and it ended up costing them on their own home field. That loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats left me sour and angry, and even as the bracket was set, I had that feeling: "This year would be different."
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished about a year ago in UnbalancedIs World Cup in Qatar a last chance for Belgium’s golden generation?
World Cup in Qatar starts shortly. Teams are already counting their injured players. The ones that are lucky and qualitative enough will make it to the tournament. There are quite a lot of favorites. Brasil, Argentina, France, Germany … but I’ve been thinking about one for quite a long time. Belgium. Their golden generation has probably the last chance to win something.

On Thursday, November 3, the Board of Education met for its weekly meeting, and the room bursting with parents, alumni and current students, the gathering was no ordinary affair. The board recently alerted Coach Bill Swertfager that he would not be among the coaches slated for return. The issue at hand stemmed from an incident that took place 18 months ago at a John Jay Girls Softball game. In response, the public comment echoed a profound disagreement with the decision.

One of the things I do love about the month of November is the Canadian Football League's Grey Cup Playoffs. After a 21-week regular season, six teams remain in the hunt for the prestigious Grey Cup, with two of the six getting an additional week off as a bonus for finishing first in their respective divisions. The other four teams face off in the opening round of the playoffs, the Division Semifinals, with the winners moving one step closer to that ultimate goal.

With the New York Jets racking up win after win after win, the question is asked every week: When do we start taking them seriously? Though the Jets have played better than they have been in the last decade, they still hadn't established themselves as anything more than a disruptor, though there is nothing wrong with being a disruptor. Disruptors get some attention, but that's still not the same level as being a contender. The test came with this week's divisional battle against the Buffalo Bills, and yes, this was the Jets' biggest tests in many, many years.

I've said this many times; I am numb to the immense amount of incompetence that Aaron Rodgers is surrounded by, have been for years. I'm just used to it. So is Rodgers. But much like Rodgers, just because I'm numb to it doesn't mean I have to like it. This week was supposed to be the start of something good for the struggling Green Bay Packers, who lost four straight entering Week 9. The Packers were facing the Detroit Lions, which is the NFL's way of giving this team a free gift-wrapped win. Instead, what happened was mistake after mistake after mistake, which resulted in the Packers somehow having no points by halftime against the 32nd ranked offense in the league! Per usual, Rodgers fought his way back, but because he had even less targets than usual (Romeo Doubs got injured earlier in the game), it wasn't enough. The Packers actually lost, 15-9, to the Lions.
