Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 10)
Well, we have arrived, folks! The home stretch of the Fantasy Football season began on Thursday; remember, a standard Fantasy Football regular season last 15 weeks (14 in some custom leagues). Beginning with Week 11, it's a push for the playoffs, and it usually close to trade deadline time, depending on the league's settings. Week 10 was the final week before this pivotal moment of the season, and it was quite a delicious one for some fantasy owners.

Incoming Dallas Cowboys Rant
I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm about to go on a heated, yet calm rant about my beloved team, the Dallas Cowboys. After their blowout loss to their rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, I felt like I have to vent and get a lot of stuff off my chest. America's Team has been so infuriating to watch every single year. Winning the NFC East titles are nice, but they always end up falling short in the Wild Card round. In case you didn't know, the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since 1995. So, for almost 30 years, they've been nothing but mediocre, unmotivated, and lack a sense of urgency. It's like this team lack heart. I understand what this team is currently going through, but something has got to change and fast. How many more one and dones and awful seasons are Cowboys fans willing to tolerate?

Somers Leaves John Jay on the Bubble with 1-0 Victory
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons On Tuesday October 15, Somers faced John Jay East Fishkill, and before the game the boys learned that their opponents received a New York State Ranking of eight. No recognition for the home team, Coach Brian Lanzetta joked with players that Somers wasn’t even “on the bubble.” But the outcome gave the Tuskers the last laugh and a new motivating designation.

Somers Holds on for 5-4 Win versus John Jay East Fishkill
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons On Columbus Day, the girls soccer team was up early and John Jay East Fishkill joined the Tuskers for some soccer. At the high school, the Patriots didn’t let a little less sleep bother them and jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 36:02. But extra time on the snooze button wasn’t really a factor for Somers, because playing from behind never looks at the clock, according to Julia Arbelaez.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 9)
Week 9's end marked the end of the first half of the NFL's regular season. Nine weeks down, nine to go. However, in the world of Fantasy Football, the home stretch is closing in. It's almost time for us Fantasy Football owners to start preparing for the playoffs, or possibly consolation, and Week 9 was quite a week in Fantasy Football. It definitely was for me, one of my teams improved to 8-1, and all eight of my teams are in a playoff position.

Somers Wins Big Again versus Harrison
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons Crowd Shots Somers treated their fans to three exciting games to start the season, but the fanbase probably didn’t mind consecutive blowouts of John Jay and Fox Lane. So with Harrison possibly putting the Tusker to the test like they did last year in the section finals, drama returning on Sunday October 13 had to be on the minds of the home crowd.

NFL Week 9 Recap: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This!
The Kansas City Chiefs are still undefeated. They sure as hell shouldn't be. Week 9 ended with the Chiefs at home against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team who still has both of their top wide receivers out, and it has showed. Despite this, the Bucs hung on and had two different leads: 7-3 and 17-10, the latter lead coming in the fourth quarter. The game saw DeAndre Hopkins really show out: 8 receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns, with the second one giving the Chiefs a fourth quarter lead. Bucs had one more chance to tie it up, and with under 30 seconds left, they did just that. 24-24, and KC being forced to punt ended up forcing overtime. KC won the toss, took the ball, and that was it. Touchdown drive won it for the Chiefs.
