SPORTS OPINION: Super Bowl predictions

SPORTS OPINION: Super Bowl predictions By Vicente MendozaSports EditorPublished Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024 We are in Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season, and to be honest, it is definitely not what I expected. At the time of this writing, the NFL has had a shift in power rankings: the lower teams from years prior are currently leading and the power house teams of last year are struggling to pull off wins. Teams such as the Washington Commanders, Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings all had bad seasons, just a season prior; now they are leading their respective divisions. Teams such as the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles, all had success in recent years including going to the playoffs since 2021; now they are all struggling to get wins.

I should understand this. My second-ever college class taught us that the last sequence of the existence of social movements in contemporary American society is integration, a folding into the mainstream culture. My mind won’t budge. Ana Varaassistant editor Though I can see it. There we are, the American populace, barrelling down from the brat green hill that we decided to stake our Jonathan “Lil Jon” Smith-endor...

The Rivergull Journal recently helped some attendees get those thoughts off their chest with its Unsent Letters event. On Sept. 27, The Rivergull held a public event to read anonymous Unsent Letters aloud to a crowd.
