While we’re not even at the halfway point of this 2024-25 National Football League (NFL) season, a few players have already separated themselves from the rest of the league as candidates to win the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP). Whether it’s perennial MVP candidate Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, veteran Lions quarterback Jared Goff, superstar Bills quarterback Josh Allen, or Commanders rookie sensation quarterback Jayden Daniels, it will be a tough decision. We’ll break down the case each of these players has to win the award and then predict who will win the trophy.

This past Sunday, Oct. 20th, Women’s Rugby had their senior game, spotlighting 10 seniors and ending this exciting game with a score of 65-0, favoring our Warthogs.

This day honored seniors: full-back Ava Spottek, outside center Ali Wallace, scrum-half Sophia “Joey” Weik, inside center Caitlin Schirmer, flanker/8-man Maria Netto, 8-man/second-row Maddie Specaru, scrum-half/flanker Claire “CJ” Lewis, Prop Sara Cicero, second-row Angela Totaro, and former second-row Kjersti Mygland.

With the 2024-25 NHL season just beginning, some teams are already performing well beyond expectations, while others are falling short.

The Geneseo Women’s Soccer Team had another amazing game this past Saturday, Oct. 26. With a late afternoon start, the Knights came out on the field with grit and a desire to win.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball season will begin on Monday, Nov. 4. The landscape of college basketball looks vastly different every year due to players going to the National Basketball Association (NBA) draft and transferring to different colleges. With the Associated Press (AP) top 25 preseason teams now being official, it is time to dissect teams to look out for: overrated teams, underrated teams, and March Madness tournament champion hopefuls.

On Tuesday, Oct. 15, two of the league's most recognizable receivers were traded. Former Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets, and former Cleveland Browns Receiver was traded to the Buffalo Bills. These names went from two of the worst teams in the NFL to true AFC East competitors on the same day. These deals took place exactly three weeks before the NFL trade deadline, so what does this mean for both teams, and what other possible moves might occur before the Nov. 5 trade deadline?

On Saturday, Oct. 18, at 2:00 pm, the Women’s Field Hockey Team played against Russell Sage College, and came out the other side with a complete shutout. No goals were scored against them, with 95 spectators in attendance.

On Saturday, Oct.19, the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians to win the American League (Al) pennant. This is the Yankee's forty-first pennant and their first World Series appearance since 2009. The Yankees will face the Los Angeles Dodgers. This matchup will reignite a classic baseball rivalry, with the two teams having met 11 times in the World Series. Though they haven't met in the World Series since 1981, this matchup has the potential to be one of the most exciting World Series in recent memory. Both teams have some of the best and biggest stars in the entire sport. In this article, though, we’ll break down how the Yankees clinched a berth in the World Series.

Although the 2024-25 National Hockey League (NHL) year has just started, many teams are underperforming and leaving fans worried about what the rest of the season will be like already. Those three teams are the Edmonton Oilers, the Colorado Avalanche, and the Nashville Predators.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) will begin its 2024-2025 season on Tuesday, Oct. 22. The NBA has an interesting award system to combat the NBA’s big “load management” problem, the association has developed specific requirements players must meet to qualify for a player award in the future. The rules entail that a player must play at least 65 games and play 20 minutes per game to be eligible to win a player award. With that in mind, here are my NBA award winner predictions.

The Buffalo Bills took their second straight loss to the Houston Texans this past Sunday, Oct. 6. Although the 23-20 score may not suggest it, this game was an absolute disaster for Buffalo. From coaching mistakes to lackluster on-field play, there are plenty of talking points to come out of Buffalo's performance, and none of them are very positive.

Saturday, Oct. 5, the Geneseo Women’s Field Hockey team had an exciting win against Elmira College with a 9-0 win.

Since its birth, fighting and skating have become the foundation of the hockey game’s culture and appeal. From bench-clearing brawls to one-on-one showdowns, these intense moments have fueled the sport’s gritty reputation. Many wonder, however, if fighting is a relic of hockey’s past or still serves a role in today’s game.

To open the 2024-25 National Hockey League (NHL) season, the New Jersey Devils and the Buffalo Sabres traveled to Prague, Czechia, on Friday, Oct. 4, and Saturday, Oct. 5, to face off on a global stage. The 2024 Global Series marks 11 seasons that the NHL has traveled to Europe to play regular-season games. These types of games allow European fans to experience the excitement and electricity of an NHL game and cheer on their favorite teams beyond a television broadcast. I bet, however, that the Sabres fans in Europe were less than pleased with Buffalo's performance in these historic games. The Devils swept the Sabres in this series, winning 4-1 on Friday and 3-1 on Saturday.

In this article, we’ll explain the reasons behind the A’s move and the future of this iconic franchise.

Fantasy Football is one of the unique ways football fans make every Sunday matter. For those of you who may not be familiar, fantasy football is when a handful of people—usually ranging from eight to 12—conduct a draft of actual National Football League (NFL) quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers, and team defenses during the summer before the season starts.
