Remember Sports? Well, this is them now. And for once I feel I can speak on them with authority. Hell, I was there when Remember Sports was just Sports, full stop. Raised a Scene writer, I’m inclined to use this space to deride a forced comparison between Sports — that is, the Sports we all

The NBA is already one of the most philanthropic sports leagues in the world. Pure charity, giving back to communities and people in need and who love the game of basketball is one of the main motivators for the league’s extensive community outreach projects, but what else is a factor? The NBA does such a

In times of extreme hardship, people from all over the world have turned to one thing to unify them — and that one thing is sports. No matter the level of turmoil people are facing, nations all across the globe have always turned to sports to uplift them in times of trouble. In 2001, only

Well, the sports drought continues. The return of all our beloved professional sports leagues is ambiguous, and what’s even more uncertain is how each league will approach their shortened seasons. It’s an interesting and rare chance for each league to get creative in how they do this. Today, I’ll offer a little proposal on what

I love the Sports Authority. This heavily neglected column, normally buried within the crypts of Fighting Irish sports news and analysis, strikes a unique chord for its cultlike niche of readers. Make no mistake, the hidden gem of The Observer is not just an opinion exchange. It’s an intermission, if you will, a method for

When I first got word about Notre Dame’s extended spring break, back when there was still hope of returning to campus in April, amid my disappointment, sadness and mourning of a lost Bookstore Basketball season, I found a pretty excellent silver lining. For a whole two weeks without homework, I could do nothing but watch

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

Dear Tom Brady, What the heck, man? I’m hurt. Truly, I’m hurt. I know there are diehard fans, who know more of your stats or who can rattle off every great pass you’ve ever thrown or who can date every heartwrencher out of which you’ve pulled the entire fanbase. But Tom let me ask you

As I write my first Sports Authority as Sports Editor, my first since the COVID-19 outbreak has caused Notre Dame to cancel in-person classes for the remainder of the semester and since the sports world has gone on hiatus, I turn the channel to CBS. I sit watching Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s daily press conference

The NFL Combine, which occurs every year in the last week of February, gives teams an opportunity to see just how athletic the players they are considering drafting are. The players, looking to boost or cement their draft stock, go through the gauntlet of tests such as the bench press, the vertical jump, 20-yard shuttle
