By Geoff Magliochetti: DonBoscoAthletics.com As the curtain closes on Giants Stadium, no one will be sadder to see it fall than the Don Bosco Ironmen. And no one will probably be happier than St Peter’s Prep. The Ironmen clinched their fourth consecutive state championship on Saturday afternoon with a 35-15 triumph over the St Peter’s [...]
By: Alyssa Pradella Ponte Vedra High School I just finished interviewing the Jacksonville Jaguars equipment manager Drew Hampton, which enabled me to relax and find my comfort zone before interviewing my favorite football player, Maurice Jones-Drew. Jones-Drew was scheduled to arrive for 9AM, but didn’t show up until almost a half hour after. I anxiously, [...]

By Alyssa Pradella Ponte Vedra High School My emotions and nerves were running wild. I felt as if I was about to play in the Super Bowl and World Series. The butterflies were rumbling in my stomach. I was very intimated at the sheer fact of eventually being in the same room as the Jacksonville [...]
Well, week 12 will wrap up after tonight’s Saints Vs. Packers Game, but not much has been established. The last five weeks of football figure to be extremely entertaining as teams will be fighting for playoff spots up until the end. In the AFC, the Jets dominated the unbeaten Titans to move to 8-3 in [...]
Is it me or I have I seen all I need to see this season from the NFL? In just eleven weeks I think we have already seen who will be the four teams playing in the conference championships. Obviously this is just my opinion, but for the first time in a long time it [...]
< “Just two good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm…,” and you know the rest. Waylon Jennings’ Dukes of Hazard theme song couldn’t be anymore perfect for the two New York quarterbacks. Both leaders have their teams in positions to control their own destinies, and they are in position to make significant playoff runs. Eli [...]

Back-ups don’t necessarily have to perform at a star level, just good enough so they are not recognized as a liability. This is what [...]
First things first, I love Brett Favre almost as much as John Madden, oh wait, that’s impossible. But how could I start without mentioning his incredible six touchdown pass performance. Everybody was ready to write his obituary after last monday night’s game, but consider this, after just four games this season his touchdown total is [...]
