Week 2 of the NFL is in the books, and man, was it brutal. Many key players were injured, which is always terrible to hear. However, besides the injuries, many players went off for fantasy teams across the world. Week 3 is underway, and whether your 0-2, 1-1 or 2-0, we here at the Fantasy

Aidan Thomas — Sports Writer Three days later and my heart rate still hasn’t really recovered from Sunday night. That game was closer than I ever wanted it to be, but I took more positives than negatives from the performance. The passing offense was far better than expected, the play calling actually had some creativity

For a long time now, I’ve been wanting to rank something in The Observer. Since the day I discovered in these pages the introspective yet comedic brilliance of master ranker and former Dunne Hall RA Davis Gonsalves, I was inspired to invoke the kind of spicy verbal mudslinging amongst the Notre Dame student body and

Few people understand the grief of losing a beloved pet. When Irish Breakdown publisher Bryan Driskell and his wife, two self-declared animal lovers, had to make the hard decision of putting their dog down, not all could empathize with their overwhelming loss — except maybe their neighbor and Driskell’s colleague, Lou Somogyi.

This weekend, like many of you, I got to watch some great games, some high-flying offenses, strong defensive stands and a come-from-behind win that was truly exciting. Unlike most of you, I’m not talking about March Madness; I’m talking about Fan Controlled Football, the latest startup football league. The league just finished up its first-ever

It’s a bit of a long-winded, rambling, all-over-the-place edition of the Basement Breakdown, but that’s OK because Notre Dame just knocked off the now-former No. 1 team in the country. It’s a three- and (for a brief period) four-person show tonight talking all things Notre Dame’s win over Clemson, plus a bunch of other miscellaneous

Electric. Magical. Terrifying. These are a few words students used to describe the storming of the field after Notre Dame football’s double-overtime victory over Clemson Saturday. There was a tangible shift in the Stadium’s energy as the Irish settled for a game-tying play. Fans rushed to the first 15 or so rows of each designated student

After the majority of student attendants rushed the field after Saturday night’s victory against Clemson and a number of others gathered before the game, University President Fr. John Jenkins expressed his disappointment in an email Sunday night. The University announced it will place a registration hold on any student who fails to report for testing

After eight weeks of NFL football, it is quite apparent to any football fan that the NFC East is the worst division in football. The Philadelphia Eagles have fallen backwards into first place with a record of 3-4-1, and with the rest of the division in shambles, it appears as if the Eagles will be
