Bill Belichick Distinguishes Between Dion Lewis, James White’s Patriots Roles
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Though it’s easy to stereotype James White and Dion Lewis as similar players, because they’re both undersized running backs, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick sees them differently. That’s why Lewis didn’t overtake all of White’s snaps when the running back returned from multiple offseason knee surgeries. White is the next in line after Kevin Faulk and Shane Vereen as the Patriots’ sub-back, while Belichick compared Lewis to Danny Woodhead because of their ability to run the ball. Both roles are important in the Patriots’ offense. White is asked to pass block and run routes as a receiver more frequently, while Lewis brings more unpredictability to the offense because of his versatility as a runner and pass-catcher.

Wake Forest Radio Announcer Leaked Game Plan Information To Opponents
Share this: Apparently, double agents don’t only appear in spy movies. That’s right, there are even spies in college football. According to an announcement from Wake Forest, the team’s radio announcer Tommy Elrod shared game plan information with their opponents on multiple occasions dating back to 2014. How’s that for a #wakeyleaks scandal? The school launched an investigation into a possible leak after game plan documents were found at Louisville’s stadium prior to their November game against the Cardinals. That investigation found evidence that Elrod had been leaking or attempting to leak important game plan information since 2014. Elrod played football at Wake Forest from 1993 to 1997 before joining the coaching staff and rising to quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator under former head coach Jim
Holly Holm To Fight For First UFC Women’s Featherweight Title Belt In February

Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie will square off in the first ever women’s featherweight title fight, marking the UFC’s first appearance in Brooklyn, New York. UFC announced the fight Tuesday night. The introduction of the women’s featherweight division, which will be fought at 145 pounds, is an exciting step for UFC. Holm became a well-known fighter in mixed-martial arts when she handed Ronda Rousey her first loss at UFC 193 in November of last year, and claiming the women’s bantamweight title in the process. Holm failed to defend her title, though. She lost to Miesha Tate at UFC 196, then lost back-to-back fights for the first time in her career when Valentina Shevchenko

Bill Belichick Won’t Commit To Keeping Cyrus Jones At Punt Returner
by Zack Cox on Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 12:10PM 1,627 Share this: Bill Belichick’s Tuesday morning conference call began with a series of questions about New England Patriots rookie Cyrus Jones, who’d committed another costly special-teams error the previous night. Jones allowed a punt to bounce off his foot during Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens and then failed to recover it, giving Baltimore the ball at New England’s 2-yard line. The Ravens scored two plays later, kicking off a second-half comeback that ultimately fell just short in a 30-23 Patriots victory at Gillette Stadium. It was the latest in a long line of mistakes by Jones, who now has five fumbles in nine games as a first-year pro. During the call, Belichick
It’s Not Just Kanye: Ray Lewis, Jim Brown Also Meeting With Donald Trump
Share this: President-elect Donald Trump had himself a busy Tuesday morning with a celebrity-laden guest list paying him a visit to Trump Tower in Manhattan. Trump’s ongoing transition to the White House took a seemingly bizarre turn Tuesday when rapper Kanye West was seen taking a stroll through the Trump Tower lobby to meet with Trump. Shortly thereafter, the two emerged together and shared a surreal embrace. West wasn’t and won’t be Trump’s only visitor Tuesday. Also making the trek to NYC to meet with the next president is former Baltimore Ravens superstar Ray Lewis. The likely Hall of Famer — along with West and Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown — will meet with Trump to discuss African-American issues in America, according
