PHILADELPHIA, Penn.- This should be another close game for Seattle against a quality opponent. Philadelphia has been a hard team to figure out this year losing games against bad teams like Detroit (3-6-1) and Atlanta (3-7) but winning on the road against Buffalo (7-3) and Green Bay (8-2). The Eagles are -2 in turnovers meaning they have more giveaways than takeaways for the season. Their biggest issue is the fumble. Once again the quarterback advantage goes to the Seahawks. #11 Carson Wentz runs...

A new California State law will allow California college student-athletes to get paid for use of their name, image or likeness in 2023. It also allows students to hire an agent to represent them. As more and more money has been made by everyone involved except the athletes on the field, it felt like this day was coming. Here’s hoping that this new law will ultimately disrupt the NCAA and force it to reform. However, in its current form this law seems like an attempt to help only a select few athletes in a single state instead of helping the g...

For conservation purposes, Washington is split into 6 different regions, and each region is split into smaller sub regions, called...
