TEXAS' AMERICAN SOLDIER NETWORK

PULL: Tell everyone what the American Soldier Network is and does?

Gettin' ROWDY

Yes. Rowdy is his real name. As his dad tells us, they’d first considered Rogue, but while watching a PBR rodeo, they saw a cowboy named Rowdy go eight seconds - and instantly thought that was a cool name.

LONE STAR BMX LIVES.

The legacy of the Legendary Lonestar BMX continues with a new location, new track and a AA-pro Track operator.

CORNHUSKER Nationals

Between the third and fourth straight at Star City BMX there is a small marsh, lined with tall cattails and filled with tadpoles.

A Northerner's BMX Paradise

There’s something about the cool late summer mornings that make racing a little more exciting than usual. It could be that fall is close which means that the number of nationals is quickly dwindling, and the Grands are near. In Minnesota this used to mean that the end of the season was just a stone’s throw away but thanks to the mega facility known as Rum River BMX, that no longer applies.

This is not your same old Bills

This isn’t your same old Buffalo Bills. And if you needed more proof, take a look at the most pivotal moment from Buffalo’s Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Bill Digest: Quotables

“We just have to continue to shape our defense. We have to continue to make sure we’re laying a new foundation. We do have some new pieces up front, and that’s not an excuse, but making sure everyone understands how this defense works and how it’s worked so well for a number of years.” — HEAD COACH SEAN MCDERMOTT on the struggles against the run

1st & Ten with REGGIE GILLIAM

Reggie Gilliam has turned into one of the best underdog stories on the Bills roster this year. The Toledo product entered training camp as a fullback with a long-shot to make the team; he finished training camp as a tight end who, in fact, had made the opening day roster. Gilliam’s lined up in a lot of different roles throughout his playing career — running back, fullback, tight end, standout special teamer — and he’s looking to continue developing as a swiss-army of sorts with the Bills. Bills Digest recently caught up with Gilliam for his thoughts on transitioning to the NFL and his big touchdown catch against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

Looking back on the career of Brad Van Pelt

Long before Eli Manning made No. 10 an untouchable jersey number for any future New York Giant player to wear, there was another star player who made No. 10 famous in New York.

The NFC Least: Someone has to win it

Through the first four weeks of the 2020 season, it is abundantly clear that the worst division in the NFL is the NFC East. Below are statistical evaluations of each team, in order of the current standings:

Giants iconic quarterback is enjoying his retirement

A content Mann is moving forward

Giant losses show how bad roster is

Be honest. Did you think the Giants would get off their first victory against a depleted San Francisco team in Week 3? I know I did.

Garrett returns to Arlington

WEEK 5: GIANTS AT COWBOYS

Fault the O-line, not the quarterback

Daniel Jones isn’t the problem. Oh he’s certainly part of the problem these days, what with consistent lapses of youth that clearly contribute to the dysfunctional mess known as the New York Giants.

Doomsday (but very possible) scenario

Before the start of the season, it was made abundantly clear by owner John Mara, that the New York Football Giants had to improve upon their pathetic 2019 campaign.

Dave Gettleman has officially failed the franchise

That’s it. I’m done. I can no longer, in good conscience, “stick up for,” “wait and see,” or watch Dave Gettleman’s “plan” unfold before I declare that he has failed us. All of us. It is over, Giants fans.
