The NFL draft is on Thursday April 25 and fans continue to speculate about who their team may pick.

The Geneseo track and field team is approaching the end of the spring season and SUNYACs are on the horizon. Both the men and women are looking to peak at the right time and perform their best in the biggest meets. The end of the season has not come without any obstacles and the team is doing their best to combat issues like injuries.

The Buffalo Bills’ first official offseason workouts began Monday April 15. These workouts are voluntary and only focus on strength and conditioning, rather than skill training. These workouts represent the first opportunity for players to meet the team’s free agent signings and for the media to speak with players, coaching and management. 

A familiar roar could be heard making its way around the fairways and greens at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday April 14, a roar that had not been heard at Augusta’s famous Master’s Tournament in 14 years. The roar reached its peak at the 18th green when golfer Tiger Woods sank a short putt to win his first major tournament in 11 years and first green jacket since 2005.

It was the lowest point in the history of the University of Virginia basketball, and it was a moment that would follow the players and coaches forever. Given the circumstances, many teams may have never bounced back, but the Virginia Cavaliers were not like most teams.

The Buffalo Bills fanbase, also known as Bills Mafia, is considered by many to be one of the most passionate fanbases in the NFL. Around the country,  Bills Mafia is known for their over-the-top tailgate antics, like jumping through tables, but the fans have also proven that they can be much more than that. 

There is widespread speculation among those who follow the Buffalo Bills about what the team will do in the 2019 NFL Draft this month. The team has 10 total selections in this year’s draft and should be able to add some significant talent to their roster. 

The new league year is underway, and the NFL is just under one month away from the draft, which begins April 25. For the Buffalo Bills, this means an end to the hectic first few weeks of free agency and the beginning of the pre-draft visitation period for players who have committed to the draft.

The NFL’s free agency negotiation period began at noon on Monday March 11. During this period, teams can speak to players about signing them and verbally agree to contracts, but none of these deals became official until the start of the league year on Wednesday March 13 at 4 p.m. 

The 2019 NFL combine ended this week. College players from around the nation came to display their physical abilities in the hopes of wooing teams and moving up draft boards. One of the most impressive players at this year’s combine was wide receiver DeKaylin Metcalf.

February is usually a quiet month for the NFL; teams cannot trade players and draft talk has usually not ramped up quite yet. This year has been a different story. 

The Geneseo men’s basketball team competed in two games in the past week, both against SUNY Brockport. The Knights would split their two games with the Golden Eagles but ended up eliminated from the SUNYAC playoffs.

With the NBA’s trade deadline set for Thursday Feb. 7 at 3 p.m., teams are beginning to make significant roster moves and rumors have run rampant about who may be on the trading block. 

The Buffalo Bills have found their franchise quarterback and it is their number seven overall pick from the 2018 National Football League draft, Josh Allen. When Allen was drafted, he faced a great deal of skepticism from the Buffalo fanbase. 

Following the Cleveland Browns 35-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Nov. 25, Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had some choice words about his former head coach Hue Jackson, who is now a member of the Bengals coaching staff. 

The Buffalo Bills have finally cut ties with quarterback Nathan Peterman. In Peterman’s short career, he has demonstrated arguably the worst display of quarterback play in National Football League history. His poor play has only added to the argument that Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed by the National Football League and its franchises.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association has been riddled with corruption, most prominently in the domain of men’s basketball. 

The four-team playoff is not perfect, and most fans who follow college football understand that it is flawed, but nobody can agree on a better system. The best way to give more teams a chance to control their own fate is to institute a 16-team playoff.

A battle between two historic franchises will take place in this year’s World Series. The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers will each vie for the pennant in a series that will close out the month of October for baseball fans. While the Dodgers may have favorable odds, Boston looks like they will be crowned the winner by the end of the fall classic.
