Here at the ICT Zone, our power rankings are based on a very simple philosophy. "To be the man you gotta beat the man", if a lower ranked team beats a higher ranked team, then the two teams automatically swap spots regardless of results from prior weeks.
The second week of games was very mundane in that there weren't a lot of surprises. The great teams continue to improve, as the not so great teams slowly lose ground. The Seahawks-Patriots matchup was an amazing look into the future of the NFL and a new age of mobile quarterbacks. Speaking of mobile quarterbacks, it's time we start looking like Dak Prescott in the proper light, an elite quarterback.

On February 22nd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, we will witness one of the best cards in boxing history, with all seven fights on the card being title fights that would sell out arenas if they were the main event. The 'Last Crescendo' name is fitting for a card that gets more and more intense as the fights go on, with...
It is time to rethink the way we think about sports and marketability. The global popularity of social media has fundamentally changed sports consumption and the idea of market sizes. The phenomenon fueling this belief is LaMelo Ball and what just happened with the NBA All-Star vote.
It felt like no one would ever come close to what Tom Brady did, then Patrick Mahomes happened.
