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.

NFL Power Rankings Week 9
10. Dolphins (6-3) The Dolphins had a really disappointing game against the Chiefs. Tyreek talked a lot of crap, and the Dolphins couldn't back any of it up. The Dolphins showed they were resilient in the second half but didn't finish the job. Right now, it looks like the Dolphins don't have that dawg in them. They have lost all their biggest games and aren't physical enough. I'm downgrading the Dolphins until they prove they can win a big game against one of the top teams in the NFL.

110th Grey Cup Playoffs: Division Semifinals Recap
This season has gone by so, so fast! It seems like yesterday that I was counting down the days until the 2023 CFL season started, especially since the Toronto Argonauts would be the defending champions. Now, here it is, November has arrived, and it's playoff time in Canada! This time, however, the games are on Saturdays now. I guess the CFL finally decided that they didn't want to clash with the NFL, at least for the first two rounds anyway.

Power Rankings
10. Cowboys (5-2) The Cowboys are coming off two great victories, and it looks like they are going in the right direction. The big test now is whether Dallas can take this level of play to the elite teams. But despite their resurgence, they still have a really bad loss to the 49ers, so they remain under them.

Iron Man's Unending Odyssey: Reshaping the MCU with Tony Stark's Survival in Avengers: Endgame
If Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, did not perform the "snap" in the film "Avengers: Endgame" and continued to live up to the present day, it would mark a significant turning point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) storyline. This decision would have a profound impact on characters and events within the MCU. Let's explore several scenarios that might unfold if Tony Stark remained alive and did not make the dramatic sacrifice.

History of the NFL Playoffs (Part II: The AFL and the Super Bowl - 1960s)
For the first 40 seasons of the National Football League's existence, the league stood as the primary source of pro football, with the league's standings determining which team is crowned as the NFL Champions for the first 13 seasons (1920-1932). The 1932 season ended with a tie atop the league standings between the Chicago Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans, leading to the two teams facing each other in a playoff game for the NFL Championship. The success of that game led to the NFL Championship Game being instilled on the following year, and from that point, the game was played between winners of the East and West Divisions (later the Eastern and Western Conferences).

NFL Power Rankings
10. Browns The Browns were a top 5 team in week four but have since disappeared from the Power Rankings. Well, they are back, baby. The Browns just took out the number one team in the NFL with their backup backup QB. The Brown's defense has looked good all year, but this was truly a statement game. It's true that CMC and Debo went down, and Trent was also injured. But CMC, for instance, played most of the game, plus the Browns were missing a lineman, a star running back who didn't play three quarters, and their franchise QB. If this is what the Browns can do at rest, imagine what will happen when they activate.
