Somers Arsenal Reaches Semifinals of US Club Soccer National Championship
The town of Somers couldn’t have asked for much more in the success that the FC 13U Girls Soccer team had in falling just short of the US Youth Soccer Nationals. But the fair sex having their say, the FC Somers Arsenal Boys (u17) weren’t quite done talking for the town, and a one goal first half deficit versus Eclipse Select Academy in the semifinals had the team in reach of a national championship.

Super bowl LVI
It's official the Cincinnati Bengals and LA Rams are going to the Super Bowl this weekend, Sunday kick off at 3:30pm PST. It has been a crazy year to say the least. The 2020-2021 NFL season was played in it's entirety, but the stands were completely empty. We finally were allowed to have stands full of fans back in attendance for the first time since the pandemic started. This season was also extended from 16 to 17 regular season games, this was done by converting one of the four preseason games into a regular season game. Covid of course was a problem all throughout the season across all 32 teams. The Football world lost John Madden, RIP. Then last but not least, the craziest news dropped only a few days ago. Tom Brady has officially retired after 22 long seasons in the NFL, honorable mention to Ben Roethlisberger's farewell tour this season. So now onto the big game.

CAN the BENGALS mesmerize the NFL in 2022? & Rise To Greatness?
From the jump of the 21, 22 NFL season, my allegiance has remained steadfast and optimistic. I can assure you my enjoyment of being a BENGALS fan has only increased. Now we can say to all the doubters, "We in There!" The underdog in my competitive blood has been consistently rooting for the Cincinnati BENGALS, actually since midway of last season. The fact they previously finished last place in the AFC division LAST YEAR had no impression on who I'd be riding with this season. And a great season for football it has been! I admit me and the NFL fell out over that Kaepernick situation and all the confusion behind it. But as of recent years, my love for a game of excitement and the NFL has slowly but surely returned. Yes indeed, I love the action-packed, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY football season. Six months of gridiron fever. All true NFL football fanatics are glued to Sunday festivities. For example, personally, the television is broadcasting one division while another device is showing the other. The perfect solution to choosing which game to follow, dual technology.
