NFL Draft: First round mock draft

Aidan Thomas | Thursday, April 27, 2023

The NFL Draft is starting. Every year, the draft is a source of hope for bottom-feeder teams that are looking to rebuild, and a starting point for contenders to fill missing pieces on their championship-hopeful rosters. The first round is Thursday night, and with it comes some of the most exciting prospects in college football.

Matt Ryan to the Colts is a win for everyone involved

Matthew Crow | Tuesday, March 22, 2022

I was walking out of class on Monday afternoon when I saw the alert on my phone: The Falcons had traded Matt Ryan to the Colts for a third-round pick in this year’s draft. My initial reaction was sadness. As a lifelong Falcons fan, Ryan has been my favorite NFL player since I started watching

What lies ahead for eliminated playoff teams

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, January 20, 2022

As the divisional round has already been covered by the excellent John Kalemkerian, I thought it might be interesting to look at the teams who fell a little short of the mark.  These teams are worth paying attention to — they made the playoffs, after all — but they are likely to be forgotten as

Kalemkerian: The NYG are ready to contend

John Kalemkerian | Thursday, April 29, 2021

The 2020 NFL season ended in disappointment for the New York Giants after narrowly missing out on a division title and playoff berth despite a hard-fought victory over the Cowboys in Week 17. Nevertheless, last season was a step in the right direction for the Giants, who have been stuck in mediocrity (or worse) since

Thomas: How Patriots should address post-Brady era

Aidan Thomas | Thursday, March 26, 2020

The day was going to come eventually. Tom Brady was either going to retire, or he would tire of taking pay cuts and play for market value for another club. The latter happened March 17, as Tom Brady announced he would not return to New England, agreeing to a deal in principle with the Tampa

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
