Age The birth years of those in pool span a huge range going from 1962 all the way up to 1994. Given the success of Casey…
Do I hear another ‘Invincible’ movie taking place? The 1976 Philadelphia Eagles holding open tryouts at the cost of being the NFL’s laughing stock for the season. Them actually finding someone in the mix and inviting him to training camp where he somewhat proves himself. What do the Denver Outlaws hope to accomplish? For one, in 1976, the Eagles were struggling in the NFL, getting booed by their own fans…
It was announced on Wednesday, December 3 that the Denver Outlaws have acquired faceoff specialist Geoff Snider from the Charlotte Hounds in exchange for midfielder Terry Kimener and a 2016 fifth-round Supplemental Draft pick.

Numerous athletes play two different styles (indoor and outdoor) at opposing annual frequencies. Even more participate in Canadian leagues. This is the biggest attraction, and yet largest flaw, for lacrosse. For many, including myself, it is very challenging to follow a player across leagues, year round, who they’re…
