Hello, my fellow Cobbers. What a week it has been, and what a week it will be! Have you all had a fun week of class? Any thrilling tests or quizzes? Maybe an exciting day at work? Well, I have had none of those things because I am very much not in Moorhead! As I…
The Super Bowl is near! I will have my final pick of the season ready for next week, but this week, let’s dive into some props. Props are side bets that happen throughout the day, focusing on all aspects of the spectacle, from the pregame festivities, to the actual gameplay, to the commercials. *Explanation of…
(Based on O Captain! My Captain! By Walt Whitman) O Vikings! My Vikings! Our championship trek is done; The team has weather’d many a game, but the prize we sought was not won; Some fans are mad, some fans are sad, but few may be exhaling, If not to think of a Super Bowl…
Aaaaaaand we’re back! It’s been a solid month since my last article, and instead of finding football clarity over that time, fans have watched the NFL head straight into utter madness. The good kind of madness, but madness nonetheless. Blake Bortles is running like Michael Vick in Madden 04, and has carried the Jaguars right…

You’re going to be starting very soon! Jimmy Garoppolo: Woah, really? What happened, are you hurt? Did you get caught deflating footballs again? TB:…
Greetings fellow degenerates! Hope you’re all having a spooky week! It’s been a great week here at The Concordian sport section, as your gambling expert (me) has finally taken the season lead over these other posers in the season standings. Now, it’s time for my Best Bet to get even. My good friend Case Keenum helped…
Dear Teddy, I’m not sure how to start this letter, but I heard you’re back in town, just like the boys. It feels like I haven’t seen you in so long. I couldn’t believe it’s only been 14 months. Time moves so slowly when you’re watching Sam Bradford. It felt like my soul was getting…
