Beanpot 2017 Notes: Boston University Ends Drought Vs. Boston College
Share this: BOSTON — The last time Boston University beat Boston College in the Beanpot heading into Monday night’s semifinal, the New England Patriots had three rings, the Red Sox had just won their second title since 1918 and the Celtics and Bruins still were trying to break decades old championship dry spells. In other words, it had been a while, as BU coach David Quinn pointed out Monday. But one night after the Pats won their fifth Super Bowl and locked up Boston’s 10th title since the turn of the century, the Terriers finally ended their puzzling stretch of negative results in the Beanpot against their archrival with a 3-1 victory at TD Garden. It was BU’s first Beanpot win over BC since the 2007

Colin Cowherd Among The Many Haters Tom Brady Silenced In Super Bowl Comeback
Share this: Even those who know better than to count out Tom Brady counted out Tom Brady on Sunday night. We can’t say we blame them: Brady’s New England Patriots trailed the Atlanta Falcons by 25 points in the second half of Super Bowl LI and faced a 19-point deficit entering the fourth quarter. What followed was one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, culminating in New England’s thrilling 34-28 overtime win. The dramatic seesaw exposed some unfortunate takes on Twitter, as the “experts” who prematurely wrote Brady and Co.’s eulogies were proven embarrassingly wrong. Among them, of course, was FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd, who did a complete reversal on his Jimmy Garoppolo stance as Brady floundered in the third quarter. I would hold

Dont’a Hightower Has Simple Explanation For Super Bowl-Changing Strip Sack
by Zack Cox on Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 1:08AM 1,626 Share this: HOUSTON — Amid the euphoria surrounding the New England Patriots’ historic victory Sunday night, linebacker Dont’a Hightower was cool, calm and collected as he relived the play that changed the course of arguably the greatest Super Bowl ever played.

On a third-and-1 from the Atlanta 35-yard line, Hightower came on an outside blitz, blew past running back Devonta Freeman and smacked the ball out of Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan’s hand.
