Swiss NLA Power Ranking - Week 0
1. Calanda Broncos (1-0)
The Broncos are one of only two teams that played this week (75–0 win vs. Zurich).

Alpine Häns standout wide receiver Ismael Schmid is a great addition. Swiss QB Robin Sennrich only continues to improve.

The vice champs have the best WR corps and the best secondary in the le

LNFA POWER RANKINGS (SLIGHTLY POST) MID-SEASON
1. BLACK DEMONS
Staying unbeaten through the first half of the season in a league that has shown just how balanced it is from top to bottom is no small feat.

2. REDS
Sitting on top of the brutal East Conference is more than enough to justify the No. 2 spot. They survived a real scare against a r

Does the NFL Have a Development Problem?
For several seasons now, a growing murmur has echoed through the corridors of the National Football League. The league has increasingly fast-tracked its young prospects, pushing them onto the field earlier than ever and handing them ever-greater responsibility. Some of those players never fully develop, hindered by deeper structural issues in their progression.
