VERMILION COLLEGE IRONMEN

Hillary’s irrational and hate-filled devotees are so messed up inside they actually made a huge deal out of the fact that Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady, Patriots Coach Bill Belichek and Patriots owner Robert Kraft have long been friends of President Donald Trump.
You couldn’t miss all the ridiculous stories leading up to the Super Bowl last week, with our increasingly deranged media even huffing indignantly over the fact that Brady, Belichek and Kraft – gasp – refused to denounce their friend.

OHIO STATE-MARION SCARLET WAVE
Location: Marion, OH
Division: USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association)
Comment: The Scarlet Wave is a nickname every bit as cool as The Crimson Tide and The Green Wave. You can’t go wrong with names like this for sports teams as far as I’m concerned and I’ve been saying for years that when Syracuse changed their team’s names from The Orangemen to The Orange that they’d have been better off going with something like … Continue reading

VANDEGRIFT VIPERS
Comment: The Vipers manage the Hat Trick of having a virtually unique team name, a butt-kicking logo and terrific helmets.
FRISCO RACCOONS
Comment: Let’s face it, Raccoons is one seriously underused name when it comes to sports teams. If the Raccoon tails on these helmets were just a bit bigger they’d be perfect.
CIGARROA TOROS
Comment: Some readers tell me they don’t really care for helmets with white shells but I think they can look good with the right kind of logo on them. Continue reading
