Former Notre Dame captain, Super Bowl champion Rocky Bleier recounts journey from Vietnam to NFL

Ryan Peters | Friday, November 11, 2022

One day during training camp in 1968, recent Pittsburgh Steelers draft pick Rocky Bleier had what he thought was the happiest day of his life — at least, at that point. Then Steelers head coach Bill Austin approached Bleier, the former Notre Dame halfback taken with the 417th pick. Austin told him that he received

Zwiller: What to watch for in NFL Week 2

Thomas Zwiller | Friday, September 16, 2022

With the conclusion of a crazy Broncos vs. Seahawks game on Monday Night, a wild Week 1 has concluded. As we head into Week 2, I wanted to take a moment to look back on Week 1 and talk about some of the oddities. Wide Receiving Struggles: New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers

Zwiller: Week Five Overreactions

Thomas Zwiller | Tuesday, October 12, 2021

Let’s overreact to NFL Week Five… Carolina Panthers Claim: Sam Darnold is broken. He looked like a new quarterback through the first three weeks of the season, prompting David Newton to write an article called “Carolina Panthers successfully exorcising Sam Darnold’s ghosts from NY Jets.” However, in weeks four and five, Darnold threw a combined six

Zwiller: From Division champs to 1-2

Thomas Zwiller | Wednesday, September 29, 2021

At the start of the season, had you told me that the Jacksonville Jaguars would be 0-3, I would have believed you. I would not have believed you if you told me the Kansas City Chiefs went 1-2 in their first three games.  The Chiefs are not the only surprise of the season, of course.

Zwiller: Let’s overreact 2.0

Thomas Zwiller | Monday, September 20, 2021

Last week I wrote about the crazy opening weekend: The Titans’ crazy game against the Cardinals, the Browns’ great showing against the Chiefs, the Saints rolling the Packers and the Steelers locking down the Bills.  I think I did pretty well. The Titans’ offense bounced back against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Browns seem to

Zwiller: New NFL powers emerge after Week 9

Thomas Zwiller | Wednesday, November 11, 2020

Going into Week 9, it felt like I had a solid feel for the NFL season. The Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the top-tier teams in the NFC. The AFC had the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers as their two top-tier teams. However, coming out of Week 9, I feel awfully

Observer Roundtable Week 6: Three top-25 duels, undefeated NFL teams highlight weekend

Aidan Thomas, Patrick Gallagher, Liam Coolican, Nate Moller and Dominic Gibson | Friday, October 23, 2020

Notre Dame is a Catholic university. But if there’s ever a time to believe in the football gods, it’s right now. Last week, sportswriter Patrick Gallagher hit on his fifth straight upset pick (underdogs of at least 7 points), with yet another double-digit underdog pulling through, as he continues to expand his lead on his

Becker: Bell managed holdout poorly

Courtney Becker | Monday, November 12, 2018

Well, Pittsburgh Steelers fans should be much happier with their current record of 6-2-1 than they were five weeks ago, when the team was at 1-2-1. In large part, the Steelers’ improvement is simply a product of them settling into the season and finding a rhythm — they usually have a few embarrassing stumbles at

Brizzolara: Le’Veon Bell should be praised, not ridiculed for holding out

Luke Brizzolara | Thursday, September 27, 2018

During the NFL Preseason, Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back Le’Veon Bell announced that he would not report to training camp, causing a ‘Twitterstorm’ and much public criticism —including from his own teammates. Through three weeks of the NFL regular season, Bell’s holdout continues to be one of the hottest topics in the NFL. Sports analysts and

Becker: Steelers needs to sort out off-the-field drama for on-the-field success

Courtney Becker | Monday, September 24, 2018

Have you been watching this season’s hottest new drama? It really has it all — infighting, shocking twists, complete breakdowns, temper tantrums, betrayals, the list goes on. It’s entertaining, thrilling or infuriating depending on your point of view. It’s called “The Pittsburgh Steelers.” Instead of starting 2-0 and leading the AFC North, as predicted, the

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.
