BACK ON THE ICE
After exceeding expectations a year ago, BG's looking to move up
By
To say that the 2007-08 BG hockey team exceeded expectations would be an understatement. The Falcons went from seven wins in 2006-07 to 18 victories last winter. They finished seventh in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and won a home play-off series for the first time since 1995.

Seven NFL teams could be in some trouble after losses

The Indianapolis Colts were handed a game by the Houston Texans on Sunday. It was a much-needed win, but it may not matter. Just five weeks into the 2008 season, the 2006 champs are in trouble. It's not just their 2-2 record that leaves them two games behind unbeaten Tennessee in the AFC South, but the way they are playing: badly.
Bengals' Lewis sticking with job despite team's poor start to season
By
CINCINNATI - Marvin Lewis doesn't plan to leave one of the NFL's safest coaching jobs.

A 31-22 loss at Dallas left Lewis' team at the bottom of the league, the only one with an 0-5 record.
Browns hoping to fare better in regular season rematch with Giants
By
BEREA - The last time they played on a Monday night, the Cleveland Browns wore hideous brown pants unlikely to ever be seen again. The fashion faux pas was hardly the most humiliating thing that happened. The New York Giants made the Browns look silly on national TV.
