Do the Panthers Have A Chance to Win?

The Falcons are somewhat of a robust team this year. They started off somewhat weak this year with a poor track record. They barely slipped past the giants and obtained that win. Now, here we are today. The next game is on Sunday, will the Falcons overcome the Panthers? Will the Panthers bounce back and become better? The Panthers, conversely, started out the year much better. This is a strong team that was able to keep a strong record as they were three and zero.

3 Big Soccer Transfers We’re Predicting To Happen In Spite Of COVID-19

But some players are just too talented to miss out on. Here are three major transfers about to happen, in spite of Covid-19. Timo Werner With Bundesliga resuming amidst the pandemic, it’s clear Timo Werner’s final days at RB Leipzig will be behind closed doors.

Harsh Punishments, but No Death Penalty, for Penn State

The NCAA has hit Penn State with harsh penalties as punishment for the Jerry Sandusky case.  Penn State is put on probation for 5 years, is banned from bowl games for 4, loses numerous scholarships, is fined $60 million, and has the dreaded "vacating wins" penalty imposed on it (for the period 1998-2011).  It's players are allowed to transfer without penalty, which is also a penalty for Penn State football because it makes it easier for players to leave. No doubt about it, these are harsh penalties, and they seem appropriate to me.   There's no death penalty because of […]
