Hey, Bob! Should Penn State (and its fans) be worried about erratic Minnesota playing at home?
College football is a game of momentum, talent, strategy, and the intangibles that make each matchup unpredictable. When Penn State faces Minnesota at Huntington Bank Stadium, it’s a game that warrants careful consideration—not just because of the strengths of each team but because of the context in which they meet. The big question looms: should Penn State and its fans be worried about playing an inconsistent but dangerous Minnesota team on their home turf?

NFL Week 11 Recap: About Damn Time. Top Story - November 2024.
For the 52nd straight season, the 1972 Miami Dolphins can pop the champagne. The Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the central game of Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season, doing so by a score of 30-21.

However, unlike past weeks, the Chiefs could not stumble their way out of this, especially with Travis Kelce being a ghost in this game, and Patrick Mahomes adding two more interceptions to his total for this year.

111th Grey Cup Recap: Ni-Ni-Ni-Nineteen
The date: November 17, 2024. The city: Vancouver, British Columbia. 13 days before the city would host this year's Survivor Series, they would play host to the 111th Grey Cup, which featured the Toronto Argonauts and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

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?
