Here We Go Again: The 2023 NFC South
You know how every reality show has that trainwreck cast member who we just can't quit watching, no matter how much we should just look away? That's the NFC South in the NFL. And apparently, the football gods liked seeing this division go to pot so much, that they decided to bring back this wacky recurring character for a second season.

NFL Power Rankings Week 13
10. Colts 7-5 Who saw this coming? The Colts are one of the hottest teams in football. When Anthony Richardson got injured, many thought the season would be over, but the Colts have fought hard every week, and if the season ended today, they would be in the playoffs.

Somers Upfront in 31-7 Victory over Averill
Video courtesy of and with permission of NYSPHSAA On Friday November 17, Somers faced Averill Park at Mahopac High School in the Regional Finals of the New York State Football Tournament, and Coach Anthony DeMatteo’s game plan didn’t go heavy on any sophisticated array of X’s and O’s. “We felt it was going to be physical, and we thought we could match that up with our guys upfront,” he said. A successful game plan that theTuskers didn’t wait to implement either.

“And Do What?”: Why These Should Be the Three Most Important Words in Your Life and Career
Introduction: Two Magic Words - “It Depends!” One thing is for certain. Ask any consultant - usually loosened up after a few beers - what their “go-to” move is, and more than likely, you will hear what can be the several thousands of dollars - or much, much more - worth of wisdom that companies will pay highly for today. Every consultant has an area of expertise. Otherwise, what would they consult about (now no, we all know that doesn’t stop some people, now does it?).

Movin' On Up! (Week 14)
Week 13 was quite chaotic; so many changes to the playoff picture in the National Football League, with many teams climbing the ranks. Five weeks remain in the season, and while it seems like very little time, it's still plenty of time for teams looking to make an impact. While the last six weeks of the season serve as the home stretch, panic time doesn't really start until Christmas hits, and that's still a few weeks away.

Somers Takes Section One Championship with Victory Over Harrison
On Friday November 10, Somers faced Harrison for the Section One Championship and the game had as odd a start as possible. Despite the Eagle offense not getting the chance to touch the ball in the first quarter, the second seed scored two touchdowns. A pair of kickoff returns, Somers didn’t startle and ultimately went about their winning ways

NFL Power Rankings Week 12
10. Browns (7-4) Browns have one of the top defenses in the league. Their defense has been so good that it has held their team together through adversity. They lost to the Broncos, which is why they are number ten. Even then, the Broncos had to knock the second-string QB out of the game. I don't think the Browns are done yet, and they are certainly playing like they didn't hear no bell.

John Jay Beats Greeley and Builds Legacy to end Season
On Friday November 2 John Jay suited up for Horace Greeley, and for seniors like Luca Duva, the finality was inescapable. “The last night of playing football, I left my heart on the field,” said the running back, and together, the Wolves didn’t let all the emotion go untapped.

NFL Week 12 Recap: Overtime...Why Did It Have to Be Overtime?
For the recap of the Thanksgiving and Black Friday games that kicked off Week 12, click here. We all love overtime, don't we? Overtime means more of the game we love. This season is actually a milestone: it's the 50th season of overtime in the NFL. It was beginning in the 1974 season that the overtime period was finally introduced to regular season games; before that year, overtime only took place in the playoffs. It was purely sudden death until 2010, which was the year that playoff games received the OT rules that exist even now. Those rules would be instilled into regular season games in 2012, and it was in 2022 that the OT rules were changed again for playoff games. In any event, the overtime period in the NFL is amazing, and so many football fans love it.

Somers Makes Easy Work of Pelicans in First Round Of Playoffs
On Friday October 27, Somers began their postseason defense of their New York State football title. Pelham on the slate, the number one standing seemed to hang over the medium sized crowd and put fans in a somewhat subdued mood. Like they had seen this movie many, many times before, the diehards had a pretty good idea how this night would end, and the outcome proved the home crowd exactly right.

NFL Thanksgiving & Black Friday Recap: All You Need is Love
Week 12 is not over, but despite this, I decided to split the recap into two parts, with this story centering on the Thanksgiving games, as well as the NFL's first-ever Black Friday game. One reason is that it'll be easier to cover each portion of the week, as everyone played this week, though because of the holidays, only 12 games are played on Sunday and Monday. Another reason is because I wanted to put a special spotlight on the four games, especially the Black Friday game.
