This last weekend was full of football! There was college games that changed the balance of the playoffs and rivalry games that went down to the wire. The NFL was in full swing with games on Thanksgiving Day and then again on Sunday, and in some states there was high school football wrapping up their […]
Speculation always runs rampant when a team is struggling in any sport. In the NHL it seems like coaches get fired willy-nilly every year. However, in the NFL they usually wait until the end of the season because it’s not very long and they might not have anyone on staff to serve as an interim […]
In sports it is always the simple understanding: the team that scores the most points wins. Easy. After that there are certain unwritten rules in sport, especially in high school sports. These are rules of mutual respect given usually when a contest is out of reach by one team and the other team shows a […]
It’s a great time in the fall when tournament time comes around. For small towns a great tournament can really bring a town together rallying behind their favorite teams and athletes.

The offense was pretty intact from their 4th in the league ranking from 2020 with a few additions to the offensive line and wide receiver […]
Yesterday’s game was not a great start for the Minnesota Vikings. Before even one second had come of the clock there was a false start penalty called. That was just the start of a string of penalties and miscues in the first half of the season opener at the Cincinnati Bengals. Most of the mistakes […]
Wow! That’s the most you really can say when you look at the incredible run the Caledonia Warriors had in football. They won 71 straight games including the regular season and the playoffs and 5 Minnesota State Championships since 2015. The last game they lost? Back in 2014 to the BOLD Warriors in the playoffs. […]
