NFL Power Rankings Week 11
10. Texans (6-4) The Texans are making their debut on the power rankings. This is the first time I have ever ranked the Texans in the top ten, but they earned it. CJ Stroud is turning the Texans around. He's what would happen if you mixed Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow. The Texans have taken out top teams and could be the AFC South's champions. Demeco Ryans has improved the defense, and CJ Stroud and the Texan's receivers have been a revelation on offense. Plus, the team has taken the same heart and determination they showed during Love's era and carried over to this one but with better talent. It's an exciting time for Texan fans because everything is on the table for this team.

Somers Goes About Business as Usual in 31-13 Victory Over Brewster
Fans can certainly look at a schedule and know who are the stronger opponents and who are the weaker. So the game against Brewster on Friday October 6 probably had the home crowd feeling pretty comfortable. But while the notion may trickle down to the players, the mindset never changes at Somers, according to Matt Klee. “Every practice no matter who we are playing, we always give 110 percent,” said the lineman, and the diligence again translated to business as usual at the high school.

NFL Week 11 Recap: The Last Straw
Nine months ago, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs faced each other in Super Bowl LVII, and it was quite the clash. One of the highest scoring big games in history, the Chiefs won 38-35 to capture their third championship, and their second with Patrick Mahomes. As for the Eagles, they licked their wounds and spent the months that passed preparing for payback. Finally, on the evening of November 20, 2023, the Eagles had their chance.

110th Grey Cup Recap: Huit
I still can't believe it! The 110th Grey Cup truly delivered and showed how absolutely epic the Canadian Football League is, as this year's title game pitted the Winnipeg Blue Bombers against the Montréal Alouettes--the first time these two teams are facing each other for all of the marbles. The Alouettes are looking to win their first Grey Cup in 13 years, while the Blue Bombers are looking to return to the CFL throne and become a dynasty--the first in over 40 years.

Somers Takes the Heat in 42-13 Victory over Clarkstown South
On Friday September 8, Somers began their home schedule and trailed Clarkstown South 6-0 with six minutes left in the half. An unexpected place for the state champs, events conspired to merit the slow start. “We had a tough practice week with the heat. We were out of our routine,” said Coach Anthony DeMatteo. “We’re a very structured program and we do things to the minute. So we were a little out of sorts - especially coming off a tough game last week.” But with a bang, the trunks got into the swing, and sanity ultimately came back to the Somers universe.

Somers Soccer Wins Section One Title
After beating Harrison 7-2 on Thursday October 26, Somers earned a berth in the Class AA finals versus Horace Greeley on Saturday. At Nyack High School, the undefeated, number one seed crossed the bridge and faced the possibility that they could lose some of the intensity to the traffic. The same went for a previous game that went into double overtime. No way, the girls had put in too much work to be distracted and simply stayed present, according to Julia Arbelaez.

110th Grey Cup Playoffs: Division Finals Recap
Never thought I'd see a season end within the first few minutes of the game. The Division Finals kicked off with the Toronto Argonauts hosting the Montréal Alouettes back East, and for the Argos, the opening drive was moving very smoothly. Everything was going right. It was going to be smooth sailing for the Boatmen.

Newton’s Impending Farewell
The internet will tell you Barry Bonds retired in 2007, when he last played a game. But there was that moment in 2008 when he proclaimed to the baseball world, “I’m not retired”. Unfortunately for Bonds, baseball had already determined otherwise. A classic example of the game being done with you before you are done with the game. Something we see often, most notably the black quarterback. It seems we only hear about black quarterbacks retiring years after the phone stops ringing. Similar to the line from the old G.I. Joe cartoon I watched as a kid, they don’t retire, they just fade away. See Kordell Stewart, whose retirement came seven years after his final game. See Aaron Brooks, Michael Vick, Daunte Culpepper, Byron Leftwich, David Garrard, and even Colin Kaepernick. How is it that the same athletes that changed the way the position has been played and added so much entertainment value to the sport always seem to have their careers end so quietly and uneventful?

NFL Power Rankings Week 10
10. Dolphins (6-3) I like the Dolphins. I have always believed in Tua. I believe in the coach, and everyone believes in these weapons. BUT I have to keep it real and be objective. The Dolphins haven't won the big games, and until they prove they can do it, I won't rank them like they have. Also, a lot of the teams ahead of the Dolphins have proven they can play physically, and the Dolphins haven't.

NFL Week 10 Recap: Big Trouble in Orchard Park
The look on Josh Allen's face says it all. The Buffalo Bills returned home to face the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football, and they were looking to make up for their Sunday Night Football loss to the Cincinnati Bengals a week prior. The opportunity was there. The Miami Dolphins were on a bye, the New York Jets and the New England Patriots both lost, so they could really pick up a lot. The Broncos entered as winners of two of their last three, but with the Bills having home field, they definitely had the golden opportunity.
