Today, we stand atop a mountain forged by the fists of legends like Christy Martin, Laila Ali, and Ann Wolfe.

You see the ball suspended in time, as he reaches out with that single hand, plucking it from the air—sensational!

    And we cannot overlook those highlights from the Paterson U team. It seems that the spirit of the one-handed catch is spreading like wildfire. If I’m not mistaken Hass Dubois #8 made a one handed catch. These athletes, whether in the A7FL or the NFL, are redefining the boundaries of what we thought possible on that gridiron. A simple catch? Nay! These are moments etched in time, electrifying fans and igniting the passion of the sport.

    Ladies and gentlemen, gather around and allow me to entertain you with the news of last night’s Super Bowl extravaganza, a clash of titans that saw the Philadelphia Eagles soar to unprecedented heights against the formidable Kansas City Chiefs! Oh, what a spectacle it was, a veritable feast for the senses that unfolded under the bright lights of the grandest stage in football!

    The curtains may have only been drawn on the first quarter, but take note, fans, for it was Jaylen Hurts, that indomitable force of nature, who opened the scoring with an early touchdown that etched the Eagles' name on the scoreboard! With the score finely poised at 7-0 dawning upon us, it was clear that the crowd was buzzing, their hopes soaring sky-high as our story began to unfold.

    But wait! The second quarter roared to life as Cooper DeJean, a name you’ll not soon forget, carved through the Chiefs’ defense like a hot knife through butter, propelling the Eagles to a staggering 16-0 lead. The cadence of the game, the ebb and flow of strategy, danced on the edge of triumph, and by the 2nd quarter, it was 17-0—a testament to the Eagles' resilience and composure!

    As we rolled into the third quarter, AJ Brown stepped onto the stage, and my oh my, what a performance it was! And suddenly, the score ballooned to 23-0. But in a jaw-dropping series of events that would make the most seasoned of fans jump out of their seats, Devonte Smith joined the revelry with yet another touchdown that brought the Eagles to an astonishing 33-0!
    At this juncture, my friends, you could practically hear the collective gasp of disbelief reverberating through the stadium! The Chiefs, while proud and valiant, were finding it exceedingly difficult to rise to the occasion.

    Today we’re going to talk about the extraordinary career of the one and only Bo Jackson! Now, let’s be clear: this man was not just your run-of-the-mill athlete. No, sir! Bo was a phenomenon, a force of nature, a two-sport superstar who made headlines in both baseball and football.

    In baseball, Bo had a knack for leaving those poor bats in splinters! Striking out? No problem! He’d snap a bat over his knee like it was a mere twig. Groundout? How about a little theatrics—one bat shattered over his head! It was a sight to behold, and the sheer strength he displayed was a testament to his incredible athleticism.

    Let’s shift gears to the football field, where Bo put on another spectacular show. He was known for his blazing speed, clocking in at a jaw-dropping 4.13 seconds for the 40-yard dash. And let me tell you,, that’s faster than a cheetah chasing down its dinner! This man
    didn’t just play football; he dominated it. He dazzled the college ranks, winning the coveted Heisman Trophy, symbolizing the best in college football.

    But, oh, what a twist of fate! A devastating hip injury cut short his NFL journey, leaving fans and analysts alike pondering, "What if?" What if Bo could have played a full career? The mind races with possibilities. It’s a true sports tragedy, because when you talk about the most naturally gifted athletes in history, Bo Jackson's name is right there at the top of the list, shining bright like a diamond.

    Whether he was smashing bats or blazing down the field, Bo Jackson represented the pinnacle of athletic prowess. A dual-threat, a legend, and an icon of sport—a hallmark of greatness that, sadly, we can only imagine if it had continued.

    Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to EPS!

    Let me bring your attention to a towering figure in the world of basketball—the one and only Anthony Davis. Yes, we've seen giants walk the hardwood before—names like Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have graced the iconic Los Angeles Lakers. What do they all share, you ask? They stood tall, both physically and in the Los Angeles World of basketball greatness.

    Now, let's put this in perspective. Chamberlain, in his time as a Laker from 1968 to 1973, made a jaw-dropping 17,783 points, becoming a crucial piece of the Lakers’ success. Then we had the great Kareem, the skyhook magician, lighting it up with a staggering 24,176 points from 1975 to 1989 with the purple and gold. Both of these legends shaped their eras, and they did so from the lofty heights that only a few can claim.

    Enter Anthony Davis, a man who was acquired by the Lakers in July 2019. The trade was no small affair, mind you. The Pelicans sent Davis packing, trading him for a bundle that included Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and three first-round picks. It was a transaction that set the stage for a new chapter in Lakers history.

    Davis made his much-anticipated debut on October 22, 2019, putting the league on notice with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, though it was a loss to the archrival Clippers. However, it wasn’t long before he started rewriting the record books. Just a week later, on October 29, Davis became the first Laker to post a 40-point, 20-rebound game since the great Shaquille O'Neal did it back in 2003. But hold your horses—he did it in just 30 minutes! That’s right—30 minutes to make history!

    But wait, there’s more! In that electrifying performance, he set the NBA record for free throws in a quarter with 18, matching those numbers in a half and even setting the game record at 26. That’s making a statement, folks!

    From 2019 to 2025, Anthony Davis has dazzled fans with his variety and skill, racking up a considerable 7,739 points in that time. While some may see that number and think it doesn't stack up against Wilt or Kareem, let me remind you—he's still writing his story.
    Then came February 2, 2025—an earth-shattering trade to the Dallas Mavericks, where he joined forces with the incomparable Luka Dončić. Two reigning All-NBA players exchanged midseason? You bet your sneakers, folks! This was a monumental deal that shook the very foundation of the league.

    So there you have it—a brief glimpse into the career of Anthony Davis—an athlete who stands tall among the greats and continues to carve his own legacy with every jump shot, rebound, and blocked shot. In the world of basketball, height isn’t just about inches—it’s about impact, and I’d say Davis is definitely making his mark!

    Anson “Ace” Carter—an enigma wrapped in a hockey jersey and a dynamic talent who danced across the ice from 1996 to 2007. A right winger by trade, Ace donned the colors of not one, not two, but eight different teams in the illustrious National Hockey League—yes, indeed, the NHL!

    Now let’s highlight the highlights: this Canadian whiz played pivotal roles with powerhouses such as the Boston Bruins, the Edmonton Oilers, and the Vancouver Canucks. Picture it! The roaring crowds, the thrill of the game, and Ace forging his path through the ranks, leaving defenders in his wake as he aimed for the net. After hanging up his skates, one might think he’d fade into the shadows. Not a chance! This man pivoted deftly into a new arena, trading slap shots for sharp analysis as he joined the ranks of NBC Sports. Today, you can find him dazzling audiences as an analyst on NHL on TNT and MSG Network, sharing insights with that ever-so-charismatic flair we’ve come to expect from him.

    But wait, there’s more! Ace is not just a hockey aficionado; oh no, my friends! He’s ventured into the pulsating world of hip hop as the founder of Big Up Entertainment, a record label where he passionately nurtures emerging artists. It’s a fascinating juxtaposition—a man who skated on ice now navigating the vibrant landscape of music.

    So, whether he’s dissecting game strategies or promoting the next big rap sensation, Anson “Ace” Carter is a multifaceted spectacle, proving that once a competitor, always a competitor—in sports, in music, and in life. Keep your eyes on this man, folks, because Ace is here to stay!

    Allow me to take you on a journey through the world of basketball, where we find the remarkable George Gervin—better known by his legendary moniker, “the Iceman.” Gervin is known for the finger roll and using all of the backboard. Born on April 27, 1952, Gervin graced the courts of both the American Basketball Association (ABA) and the National Basketball Association (NBA), leaving a legacy as smooth as his jump shot.

    Let’s talk numbers. This exceptional talent averaged at least 14 points per game over a stellar 14-season career. That’s consistency! By the time his days on the hardwood came to a close, he boasted an astonishing average of 26.2 points per game. We’re talking about a scoring machine!

    His impact on the game didn't go unnoticed. In 1996, he was honored as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, and just a few years ago, in 2021, Gervin joined the elite ranks again as one of the 75 greatest players in history. Now that, my audience, is a testament to his talent and enduring legacy!

    So let’s raise a glass to George Gervin, the Iceman, whose artistry on the court not only dazzled fans but reshaped the shooting guard position. A true icon of the game!
