Well, it’s been quite a year, both for the Zone Read and the NFL as a whole. I’d like to thank the league for providing endless content, and the paper for giving me a space to spill all my thoughts to the world. I want to close out coverage of the regular season with a […]

This weekend, the men’s soccer team advanced to the Final Four of the NCAA Div. III tournament with back-to-back wins over Washington and Lee University and Conn. College.

AFC Playoffs Patriots The Patriots, like always, feel like a lock for the playoffs and a […]

Yes, I’m late on this. Yes, it has faded from popular memory. It’s hard to remember in week seven,  but not too long ago the National Football League (NFL) was shaken to its core. Andrew Luck, a cornerstone of the Colts franchise and undisputed top tier quarterback in the league, abruptly retired at age 29. The […]

The NFL is a little over a month into the season, and we have a good sense of the contenders and the pretenders. With that in mind, here are my power rankings for the divisions.  1. NFC West: The 49ers are the only undefeated team in the NFC at 4–0. They have the stifling defense and creative […]
