Boxing's Biggest Opportunity
All boxing fans recognize that the sport has very obvious problems. The sport is plagued by bad judging, complicated negotiations, and alphabet belts that change hands frequently, and sometimes without even a fight. Wading through hyped fights and mandatory challengers, and with broadcasts being infrequent and mediocre at best it is tough to draw new fans. Then factor in the competition from MMA, which seems to always be on some channel.

Author Remembers Ardsley Baseball’s Four Straight State Titles
The Yankees did it twice. So did the Montreal Canadians. The Islanders may have the most impressive string of Championships by winning 19 straight playoff series. But right here in Westchester, Ardsley has a place among the immortals. From 1986 through 1989, Ardsley won four straight Class C Baseball State Championships, and their run may even surpass the do-or-die streaks that came before them.

You probably made good money last week if you went with Drew Brees or Jared Goff and avoided Tom Brady; however, Tyrod Taylor was also a flop. Sorry about that one, but early season returns on adjustments is necessary in DraftKings if you want to stay on top and winning money.

Best Soccer Cleats with Ankle Support
Finding the best soccer cleats with ankle support can be tough because not all soccer cleats have that high-top support that gives you added ball control and a comfortable fit which most soccer players require. However, we see more and more companies embracing this soccer cleat design because it allows players to reduce the amount of tape they use around their soccer shoes, and it simplifies the way they play soccer. Some of the best soccer cleats for added ankle support include the Nike Hypervenom series and the Nike Mercurial Superfly series, but other cleats are still in the running. Here’s our list below.

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words
A few shots from Saturday September 15th at the Winnipeg Jets training camp. That day was the “Fan Fest Day” which meant that all of the training camp drills were taking place in front of a rather substantial crowd at the Bell MTS Iceplex that morning, where both veterans and prospects alike were competing to solidify their spots on the Winnipeg Jets’ roster for the 2018-2019 National Hockey League season. Above is a shot of Canadian-born veteran Brandon Tanev saucering a pass to Finnish rookie prospect Kristian Vesalainen.

Fencing: The Coolest Underrated Sport out There
"Fencing? That's like sword fighting... right?" is a sentence that came out of my own mouth before joining it myself. Ever since I heard the word during my freshman year, it caught my interest. I was very disappointed to find that I was too busy to join that year. However, my schedule opened up enough in my sophomore year to add one after-school activity. I had the option to pick from drama or fencing. Considering this article, I think you can guess to which one I chose.

Premiership Round-Up - Saturday, September 15
Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Liverpool Liverpool's impressive start to the season continues with a fine win over Spurs. It's not been a fantastic week for the North London club, with captain Hugo Lloris convicted of drink driving and sentenced to a 20 month drinking ban and a £50,000 fine. Shortly after his conviction, he picked up a thigh injury which ruled him out of this weekend's fixture. In steps Michel Vorm, whose errors contributed to Liverpool's victory. Spurs were sloppy in possession, often giving the ball away. Lucas Moura missed a decent chance to put Spurs ahead before Wijnaldum and Firmino gave Liverpool a two-goal lead. Lamela pulled one back with a fine strike in injury time, but it was Jurgen Klopp's men who returned to Merseyside with all three points. Liverpool were touted pre-season as the most realistic challenger to Manchester City's dominance, and on the basis of this performance, it's not too hard to see why.
