Buildings on the Bowery, one of New York City’s oldest streets, have been reinvented again and again throughout the centuries, often leaving traces of their former lives still visible. From the first period of the neighborhood’s Dutch settlers in 1626 to the Georgian and Federal buildings that functioned as townhomes and artisan workshops in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, to the bloom of concert saloons and dime museums, with artist lofts trailing close behind, The Bowery’s diverse catalog of design and function reflects New York City’s history. Echoes of this past are often unveiled if you look closely…
Decision day is here: 4-star quarterback Matt Zollers will announce his college decision on Thursday afternoon. There are five teams still in the hunt for Zollers — Georgia, Missouri, Penn State, Pittsburgh, and Alabama. Zollers went on a visit to all five of those schools since March 20, which gave him final looks and important discussions at each. The Zollers family returned home on Wednesday morning to decompress and discuss what the final decision would be. Zollers will announce that decision to the world at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday.
As first reported by 247Sports on Wednesday and followed up with more reports on Thursday, the Michigan Wolverines are set to hire Georgia assistant coach Akeem Miskdeen as a member of Dusty May’s first staff in Ann Arbor. Miskdeen and May have coaching history, as the two coached together at Florida Atlantic for three seasons before Miskdeen took an assistant coaching job at Florida for one season. He was with the Georgia Bulldogsthe last two years in an assistant coaching role. All in all, Miskdeen has been involved in basketball for 15 years, with stints at Hampton University, Mt. Olive…
ATHENS, Ga. – Once again, speeding and drinking resulted in the incarceration of a Georgia football player. That’s according to Athens-Clarke County Police, who Tuesday morning released the full report to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on the DUI arrest of Bulldogs running back Trevor Etienne in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Police said Etienne had been traveling between 80 and 90 mph in a 50-mph zone in his 2024 Audi RS7 when he was pulled over on South Milledge Avenue at 1:50 a.m. Sunday. Etienne declined to consent to a field sobriety test but, according to the arresting officer,…
Thursday afternoon, we got another reminder that the Minnesota Vikings won the much-ballyhooed trade they made before the 2020 NFL Draft by a comfortable margin. That trade involved the Vikings sending wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for the 22nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Vikings turned around and used that pick on wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who has gone on to win an NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award and put up more receiving yardage than any player in league history in his first four seasons. Diggs, on the other hand,…
Coming out of San Clemente High School in Southern California as a four-star recruit, Darnold had an impressive two-year stint with the USC Trojans. In 2016, Darnold was the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, and he was named to the Freshman All-American Team. He guided the Trojans to the Pac-12 Conference Championship in 2017, and was named the MVP of the conference championship game. On January 2, 2017, in one of the most memorable Rose Bowls, Darnold and the Trojans squared off against Saquon Barkley and the Penn State Nittany Lions. Ninth-ranked USC defeated fifth-ranked Penn State 52-49 before…
Not mentioned among the quarterbacks projected to land in the top five, Michael Penix Jr. still profiles as a player who could certainly go off the draft board in Round 1. A number of teams are doing their homework on the recent national championship game starter. Penix scheduled visits with the Giants, Falcons, Broncos, Raiders and Steelers recently. The Vikings and Commanders can now be added to the Washington alum’s list. Penix worked out for the Vikings recently, according to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz, who adds the Commanders will also host the southpaw QB on a “30” visit. Penix has begun…
Setting clear and measurable goals is a key to achievement. Businesses do it all the time to make sure they are staying ahead of the curve. The Vikings, it would seem, are no different. While they haven’t literally screamed, “WE ARE DRAFTING A QUARTERBACK” from the top of a mountain, their actions have essentially done that. They let an expensive known commodity (Kirk Cousins) leave in free agency. They already added a first-round pick to their 2024 draft haul. And their head coach — himself a former quarterback — has been closely watching all the quarterback prospects. Being intentional is…
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Has Stefon Diggs gone from the Minneapolis Miracle to being a problem child? For the second time in five years, Diggs was traded Wednesday morning. The Buffalo Bills sent Diggs to the Houston Texans along with a sixth-round pick this year, and a fifth-round pick in 2025, in exchange for a 2025 second round pick. That selection just happens to be what the Minnesota Vikings sent the Texans as part of the package to get this year’s No. 23 overall pick. Diggs started 65 games over four seasons in Buffalo, making 445 catches for more than…
One of my pastimes is reminiscing which seems to be gathering steam as I count my birthdays. The time for reflection most often comes about at the start of baseball season. It causes me to flash back to my days on the farm where there was no television—only scratchy static on an old Philco radio. We couldn’t afford a daily newspaper but if we had, the baseball scores would arrive at least a day late, sometimes, two. I saved my pennies and couldn’t wait to buy a copy of SPORT Magazine and read the in-depth stories on players like…
