The Jets vaunted defensive line could not stop the Cardinals running attack and the Cardinals passing game was effective enough to keep the Jets defense on their heels all night. It was a penalty-filled game that at times made it tough to watch, but the Cardinals seemed to overcome the penalties and found a way to…

Muscle spasms spread throughout my body, and I briefly passed out. Severely dehydrated, I was rushed to the hospital and quickly…

The sequence throughout my high school career that really inspired me to participate in sports was my senior year in high school when I placed 4th at the state championships in the men’s high jump competition.

On Wednesday the Carolina Panthers sent shockwaves through the NFL world when they decided to resend the franchise tag on cornerback Josh Norman making him an unrestricted free agent free to sign anywhere. Personally I think the Panthers made the right move in letting Norman walk and I think it will benefit the franchise presently and in the long run.
