Patriots’ Chris Hogan Inks 1-Day Contract With NLL’s Black Wolves
Share this: Did you know Chris Hogan used to play lacrosse? We’re guessing you do, as the anecdote frequently was mentioned throughout the New England Patriots’ 2016-17 campaign. The Pats wideout played collegiate lacrosse for three seasons at Penn State before transferring to Monmouth, where he’d trade his lacrosse stick for football pads. The transition to football ended up working out pretty well for Hogan, as he recently became a Super Bowl champion as a result of New England’s thrilling victory in Super Bowl LI. Hogan evidently still has the itch for lacrosse, though, as he officially returned to the sport Friday. Well, kind of. Hogan inked a one-day contract with the National Lacrosse League’s New England Black Wolves and will serve as honorary captain for the

Why World Baseball Classic Isn’t To Blame For MLB Injuries
Share this: Math is the best antidote to the scapegoating of the World Baseball Classic. Figures compiled by Major League Baseball show players who participated in the last two editions of the World Baseball Classic suffer injuries less frequently than those who don’t, according to FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal. The numbers refute longstanding fears over WBC players’ health suffering ahead of the start of the MLB season. “Among pitchers on 40-man rosters, only one of 40 from the 2013 tournament (2.5 percent) opened the season on the disabled list, as opposed to 61 of the 605 who remained with their clubs (10.1 percent),” Rosenthal writes. “The most recent WBC produced a comparable result: Only three of 55 pitchers from the tournament (5.5 percent) opened
