What Went Wrong: It's Not Always Sunny in Philadelphia
You know, we have spent the entire season so far enjoying the Kansas City Chiefs' downfall, and rightfully so. They started 0-2, got back on track winning back-to-back games, but then, they were defeated by a Jacksonville Jaguars team they had bested forever. Chiefs are 2-3 and are on the verge of being knocked down a few more pegs than they already are.

CFL Week 18 Recap: The Wild, Wild West
I bring good news to my fellow American CFL fans: the Grey Cup is again airing on CBS Sports Network here in the States. This is Year Three of the Canadian Football League's relationship with CBS Sports Network, after several years on the ESPN networks, which in turn, followed their years on the now-defunct NBC Sports Network. Ever since the CFL first hit CBS Sports Network, games that don't air on the channel air on a stream site known as CFL+, which is for fans in the U.S. and other countries outside of Canada. 2023 saw the entire playoffs (including the Grey Cup) air on CFL+, but last year saw the Grey Cup air on CBSSN.

Somers Plays its Cards Right in 2-1 Victory Over Greeley
Photos are at end of article On Friday September 5, Somers and Greeley were knee deep in a defensive struggle at the high school. A 1-1 game with eight minutes to play, Somers lined up for a penalty shot, and at this point in the season, Coach Brian Lanzetta paused on a strategy. “It’s early to show your cards,” he said. But a league game, versus a AA team, the moment got the better of him.

The Blue Jays Understood the Assignment
Well, well, well. The New York Yankees fall short yet again. They perform great during the regular season, but fall apart in the Postseason. This has been their MO for who knows how long. This was the same team who was in the World Series a year ago. Aaron Judge and the Yankees made multiple errors during Game 5, where they had a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning. All of a sudden, it went straight to hell from there. Before this season began, I predicted that the Yankees would miss the playoffs. Now, after they were eliminated by the Blue Jays in the ALDS, whom I'll discuss in a bit, the Yankees front office has a lot of decisions to make. Will Aaron Boone return as manager? Does the starting rotation need to undergo some changes? If this team doesn't make any changes, they'll never return to becoming the dominant team they once were over 20 years ago. Aaron Judge is the Dan Marino of Major League Baseball. A great player, but he fades in the playoffs. No World Series titles...yet, but it's unacceptable for a player to have lackluster on-field performances. I no longer have any confidence in the Yankees, because they look so lost every year. They got outperformed by the Blue Jays and it revealed their weaknesses and were exposed. If the goal of the Yankees is to win World Series titles, like I said, changes need to be made and fast. Otherwise, they'll endure more years of disappointing seasons and playoff exits.

Boston Red Sox Star Mike Greenwell Dies At 62
It is a tough day in Boston. A cloud hangs over Fenway, and it has nothing to do with the New England weather. Mike Greenwell, the man they called “The Gator,” has passed away at 62 after a hard-fought battle with thyroid cancer. For those of us who grew up watching him patrol that monstrous green wall in left field, this one stings. Anytime a former player passes away it is always great to look back on their career. With so many great players having played the game, it can be easy to forget the accomplishments of past players. Greenwell was a great player that not many people talk about today.

Dirk Nowitzki: The Undisputed King of the Midrange
In an era of basketball increasingly dominated by the three-point line and shots at the rim, the midrange jumper has become a lost art. Yet, for a generation of fans, that 15-to-20-foot space was where legends were made. When thinking of midrange masters, names like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and Michael Jordan often come to mind. However, a recent analysis by Kirk Goldsberry for The Ringer has provided a stunning visual confirmation of what many Dallas Mavericks fans have known for decades: the true king of the court's middle ground was a 7-foot German powerhouse. This data cements the legacy of Dirk Nowitzki, best midrange shooter of the modern era, and provides a new lens through which to appreciate his revolutionary career.

Home Opener Sweet Home Opener
Home openers are always special; the first time that a team plays in front of their hometown crowd in the new season is always a huge deal. In the NHL, a team plays 41 games in front of their home crowd. For the Colorado Avalanche, this is our first. Following a big 4-1 win in Los Angeles, the Avs, for the 30th time, took the ice at home, and in this instance, it was against our neighbors to the west, the Utah Mammoth. Yes, Utah's team finally has a name.
