Well, the Cowboys made it back to the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs! Dallas fans could not have been more excited and optimistic heading into this year's postseason. However, their highly-anticipated Super Bowl run was quickly thwarted by the Green Bay Packers, again. The game was not necessarily hinged on one play like in the 2014 matchup (Dez caught it),...
"Touchdown Coleman, and the Falcons will add to their lead!" It was February 5th, 2017. The Atlanta Falcons had, what the world thought, an insurmountable 28-3 lead over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI. I sat there thinking "my team is about to become the champions of the world." But, I had a grim feeling that this...
Boxing trilogies occur when two fighters display such grit, boxing finesse, and natural athleticism that no matter the result of their first encounter, a rematch is declared. If the fighters maintain their previous combat advantages, and their boxing rivalry continues to simmer, then a potential third fight can be scheduled. These are called boxing trilogies, and they are reserved...

Drew Brees, dropping back into the pocket, looked for an open receiver to pass the ball on a 3rd & 10 play. The game was on the line with only 1:49 ticking away on the game clock. Brees, appearing to find a receiver downfield, hurls the pigskin in a hurry towards Tommylee Lewis in attempt to get a first...
The halls of Jesuit, like much of the rest of America, this week have been filled with chatter pertaining to this Sunday’s upcoming Super Bowl match-up, the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. Some Cowboys gripe about their NFC East rivals, while others wish for the downfall of the dynastic Patriots. Whether it is for the great commercials, a...
He is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. He was the 2005-06 Rookie of the Year, 9x All-Star, 8x All-NBA team member, and an 8x All-Defensive team member, but he has never made it to the NBA Finals. He is second in career assists, first in career steals, and second in player efficiency, among active players....
