Young artists should study Usher’s Super Bowl performance
I was a little nervous at the start of the Usher performance.

If you didn’t tune in to the Big Game until after the action started on the field, have no fear.

It has been eight years since former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith was killed in a road rage incident.

Don’t lose faith, Buffalo Bills fans
At least the Buffalo Bills put up a fight this season. Their Divisional-Round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2022 season was weak.

The path back to winning for Bill Belichick is as easy as parroting Tom Brady’s search for a contending roster following his departure from the New England Patriots.
