Ray Lewis Apologizes To Joe Flacco After Questioning Ravens QB’s Passion
Share this: Ray Lewis’ playing days — and days as an ESPN NFL analyst — are over, but he’s still finding ways to stir up controversy. The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker, known for speaking his mind, did just that last week on the topic of quarterback Joe Flacco. In an appearance on FOX Sports 1’s “Speak For Yourself,” Lewis questioned Flacco’s passion for the game. “There is something called talent, right?” Lewis said. “And you see it a dime a dozen. And then there’s something called being passionate about what you do. About really what you do. And being around it — gifted? Absolutely. Passionate about what he (does)? I’ve never seen that.

Blues’ Road Woes Could Spell Good News For Bruins In Game At TD Garden
Share this: The St. Louis Blues might as well be two different teams. At home, the Blues are 8-1-2 and pretty much unstoppable. They are scoring an average of 2.5 goals in those games, while allowing only 1.5 goals per contest. But the road Blues have been a different story. St. Louis is 2-5-1 away from home, and while they still are averaging 2.5 goals per game, their goals against average is 4.1 in those games.

Adrian Peterson Injury: Vikings Star Could Return In December, Per Report
Share this: The Minnesota Vikings broke a four-game skid Sunday with a huge win over the Arizona Cardinals, and more good news might be on the horizon. Ben Goessling of ESPN.com has reported, citing league sources, that superstar running back Adrian Peterson could return to the Vikings sometime in December.
