Source: UnSplash Zach Wilson has all the ability to become a great quarterback in the NFL. He has the athleticism and arm that some players dream of possessing, but his decision-making and overconfidence appears to be holding him back. The New York Jets are in a rare position to end their playoff drought after 10 years in the 2022 campaign. Robert Saleh has fired up his young team and they are playing impressive football to move into contention in the AFC. However, a lot will hinge on the performances of Wilson down the stretch. At his best, Wilson is an exciting prospect, but his ability to implode at any second as he did in the Jets’ defeat to the New England Patriots at the Meadowlands could hold him and his team back. Although disappointing, there could be a patient optimism for the talented 22-year-old as he goes through growing pains.... Read more →

By CRAIG DOLCH Special to the PGA of America and to CNBNews PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.

https://pixabay.com Between 20 November and 18 December, something unique will be taking place, which only happens every four years. For the first time in competition history, the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be hosted in the Middle East, as the tiny Persian Gulf country welcomes 32 international soccer teams from around the globe. Started back in 1930 when Uruguay hosted the inaugural tournament, the FIFA World Cup has gone on to become the most prestigious competition in soccer, only interrupted as a quadrennial event due to the Second World War. But since the sporting event resumed in 1950, the competition itself has enjoyed constant evolution and progress, always captivating the imaginations of a massively growing audience. The choice of Qatar as host nation did court plenty of controversy, largely due to human rights questions, although the desert location and climate also posed considerable problems.

Sure, you can lift 400 pounds. But can you take a 40-minute walk? Bree-Anna Burick Last updated on January 27th, 2022 There’s an eternal chasm between the athletes who think that the only way to do cardio is high-intensity interval training and those who think jogging or cycling is the way to go. However, as with so many polarizing topics in strength sports, there is a middle ground. Walking may be one of the more underrated and accessible ways to improve your health. A brisk walk can do wonders for pretty much every area of your fitness. Fitting in a few 45-minute strolls per week — especially at a pace of, say, three or four miles an hour — is one of the smartest things you can do for your joints, immune system, heart, brain, and a lot more. It’s not high-tech, it doesn’t necessarily look cool on Instagram, and... Read more →

WORCESTER, Mass. -- Kutztown University put forth a tremendous defensive effort, Saturday, keeping Assumption out of the end zone and allowing just 208 yards of total offense. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. The Greyhounds matched Kutztown's defensive intensity and used a late first-quarter field goal to stun the 13th-ranked Golden Bears, 3-0, in the season opener for both teams. Graduate student linebacker Amani Justice (Salem, N.J./Salem) led the charge for defensive coordinator Eric Fargo, who returned for his second stint with the program this past offseason. Justice totaled eight tackles, including one for loss, and recovered a fumble. CJ Brown (Coatesville, Pa./Coatesville), Earl Volz (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) and Tyler Whary (Hereford, Pa./Upper Perkiomen) each had five tackles for the Golden Bears (0-1). Outside of a 20-carry, 96-yard day on the ground from running back Darryl Davis-McNeil (Roslyn, Pa./Abington), the KU offense struggled to get anything going. Assumption (1-0) brought a well-respected... Read more →

Two teams chasing history By Andy Proffet SHELBY N.C. (August 16, 2022)(CNBNewsnet)--It took a little more drama than Idaho Falls (Idaho) Post 56 might have wanted, but their quest for a historic achievement remains alive. Troy (Ala.)

By Louisa Llewellyn A 1874 photo of the Philadelphia Athletics who played their Sunday games in Gloucester City. During the 1880's the Philadelphia Athletics played its Sunday games in Gloucester. One game must surely have set some kind of record. The Athletics were playing Baltimore in a regularly scheduled American League game. Thousands came by ferry, train, and trolley to see the game. The crowd was much too large to be controlled and flowed onto the playing field. This situation deteriorated so quickly that the game had to be called after only two innings. A state law passed in 1888 ended Sunday baseball in Gloucester.

By Jeff Stoffer PRINTED HERE WITH PERMISSION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION There’s much more to American Legion Baseball than batting averages and fielding skills. That’s a lesson Matt Johnson learned in Little League when his coach was Marty Conatser, who would go on to serve as American Legion national commander in 2007 and 2008. “We’re here to develop kids, not just to win baseball games,” says Johnson, coach of Champaign, Ill., Post 24’s prep team for players 14 and under. It’s a lesson that sticks with him today. As the Post 24 team stood at 9-3-1 for the season, players and coaches gathered June 18 at AMBUCS Park in nearby Urbana and served as “buddies” for young people facing physical or mental disabilities and challenges during a crisp, sunny Saturday morning baseball game. Aptly named, the Challenger League is about “providing an opportunity for these kids who don’t normally have... Read more →
