NFL DRAFT: Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love picked by the Arizona Cardinals with 3rd overall pick
While there is some debate about who is the best player in the NFL Draft, Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love is clearly the best running back in the class — and maybe one of the best in the last decade. Running back isn’t considered as a premium position in the NFL, so a player really […]

If you’ve ever been to a Notre Dame game—or even watched one on TV—you’ve likely seen it. The crowd, arm in arm, gently swaying.

In some conversations with some of my friends and family, we’ve often talked about how politics has turned into sports with the most unathletic people on the planet.
