The Union College Athletic Department might be best known for their men's hockey and football programs but they also have 25 other sports offered by the college.  Make that 26.

The Giants got some much needed wide receiver depth today as they signed 13-year veteran Brandon Stokley.

It looks like the Siena men's basketball team will be a much smaller club when they take the court this season. The NCAA has ruled that freshman forwards Lionel Gomis and Imoh Silas both ineligible for the 2011-12 campaign.  However, both players will be allowed to return to the Saints roster next season.

I could sit here and tell you about how excited I am about the Redskins win over the Giants last week.  But I'm not going to lie - that's not really what made me happy in week #1 of the NFL season. Both of my fantasy football teams had a really good week.  And what I'm about to tell you might make you mad or might make you realize you're just like me.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady put on quite a show last night.  Brady threw for 517 yards and 4 touchdowns in the Patriots' 38-24 win over the Dolphins last night.  Brady’s 517 yards in 5th most all time in a single game. It made me realize one intriguing thing about #12.

A week after learning that two incoming men's basketball recruits will be ineligible this season, the Siena men's basketball team got even more bad news today. Junior forward Davis Martens will miss the entire 2011-12 season after undergoing hip surgery to repair a labrum tear on August 30th.

You gotta love Ron Jaworski.  The ESPN NFL analyst isn't afraid to tell it like it is.  Unfortunately, he doesn't always use language that's suitable for young children. Jaws broke out the s-word on national TV during the Dolphins/Patriots Monday Night game.

The college basketball season might not begin for another 2 months but it's never to early to start thinking about Siena hoops. Capital Region basketball fans will have the opportunity to check out the new-look Saints tomorrow night at the Times Union Center.

I know it's only one game but after yesterday's 28-14 season opening loss to the Washington Redskins, the Giants have more questions than answers right now.

The New York Giants 1st team offense didn't look good in the preseason and they didn't look good in their season opener today either. The Giants were shutout in the 2nd half as the Washington Redskins defeated New York, 28-14 in Landover, Maryland.

Senior quarterback Drew Connolly became the 5th quarterback in Union College football history to pass for 5,000 yards in a career. But the Dutchmen lost at Utica College, 28-27 Saturday night in Utica. The Pioneers improved to 2-0 while Union fell to 0-2.

The 17th ranked Alfred University football team dominated both sides of the ball in Saturday’s season-opening 48-17 victory over visiting RPI - spoiling the debut of new Engineers head coach Tim Landis.
