Share this: The 2017 Masters already could be missing Tiger Woods and its signature azaleas, and now it could be without Jason Day. Day, who currently is the No. 3 ranked golfer in the world, withdrew from the Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas last Wednesday due to his mother’s ongoing battle with cancer. Day’s mother, Dening, had surgery for lung cancer in Columbus, Ohio., on Friday and while Day will travel to Augusta, Ga., to practice at Augusta National, his status for the prestigious tournament will be dictated by his mother’s prognosis, according to The Associated Press. “Obviously, I’m still nervous because we’re still waiting to see … if it has spread or not,” Day said, per The Associated Press. “From there, we have

A Darrelle Revis Return To Patriots? Robert Kraft ‘Would Love It’
Share this: Robert Kraft was not short of comments at Monday’s NFL League Meeting. The New England Patriots owner touched on a variety of topics, including Tom Brady’s longevity and high hopes for Brandin Cooks’ impact on the offense. While most of Kraft’s comments were regarding players presently on his team, he did talk about one former Patriot who is currently seeking employment. Darrell Revis, who won a Super Bowl with New England in the 2014 season, was released by the New York Jets at the start of the new league year. At 31 years of age and declining skills, the veteran cornerback isn’t being aggressively sought after this offseason. But despite the logistics, Kraft isn’t ruling out a possible Revis-Patriots reunion. “I would love

How Will Dwayne Allen Fit In With Patriots’ Numerous Offensive Weapons?
Share this: Dwayne Allen didn’t exactly get his day in the sun after being traded to the New England Patriots. And that’s not a commentary on the dreary weather in New England so far this spring, though it would be cool if temperatures would climb above 50 at some point. Thus concludes the small talk portion of this column. Allen was traded from the Indianapolis Colts on the afternoon before the start of the new NFL league year. It was the transaction that sparked countless others, officially setting off the Patriots’ offseason, and it kind of got buried. It was apparent at the time the Patriots would not be bringing back Martellus Bennett, so finding a tight end to complement and back up their injury-prone starter Rob Gronkowski was paramount.

by Zack Cox on Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 8:26AM 1,768 Share this: The 2017 NFL season doesn’t kick off for another five months, but Rob Gronkowski already is raring to go.

Rockets Troll Russell Westbrook With Tweet Degrading His Triple Doubles
Share this: The Houston Rockets don’t appear to be impressed with Russell Westbrook’s triple-double averages. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard is on pace to become the first player since Oscar Robertson in 1961-62 to average a triple-double for a full season. Westbrook’s incredible performances have put him in the thick of the NBA MVP race, but he still has plenty of competition for the award. Rockets guard James Harden is having his own MVP-caliber season, and after he led Houston to a 137-125 win over Westbrook’s Thunder on Sunday, his team sent out this tweet trolling the OKC star. Westbrook (39 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists) outplayed Harden (22 points, five rebounds, 12 assists), but the Rockets shot 63.3 percent from the field to pick
