Share this: Welles Crowther, known as “The Man with the Red Bandana,” saved at least a dozen people in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. And when Boston College hosts the Clemson Tigers on Friday night, Crowther will be honored by his alma mater. Crowther, who played lacrosse for BC, had a signature red bandana, and he was wearing it when he died after the South Tower collapsed. When the Eagles play the Tigers under the lights, they’ll be wearing uniforms inspired by Crowther’s famous bandana. The gesture will be a part of the Eagles’ Service Game, an event the Crowther family will be on hand to witness. The coaching staff also will wear Under Armour apparel featuring the bandana

Richie Incognito Pokes Fun At Bill Belichick For Lashing Out At Tablet
Share this: New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick had plenty to be frustrated about during his team’s 16-0 loss Sunday to the Buffalo Bills, and Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito had some fun at his expense. After the Patriots allowed a first quarter touchdown reception from Tyrod Taylor to running back LeSean McCoy, CBS cameras caught Belichick spiking a tablet to its demise on the sideline. Incognito, whose had his own issues, took to Instagram to poke fun at Belichick. The Patriots, who suffered their first shutout in nearly a decade, will look to get back in the win column Sunday when they welcome Tom Brady back from his Deflategate suspension against the Browns in Cleveland.

Red Sox Postseason Roster Projection: Catcher, Bullpen Spots Up For Grabs
Share this: The Boston Red Sox know where they’re starting the playoffs and who they’re playing. But they still have some big decisions to make before beginning their postseason run. The Red Sox will travel to Cleveland to take on the Indians in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Thursday. But first, they’ll need to whittle their current 40-man roster down to just 25 players. Manager John Farrell already got the ball rolling Sunday, announcing that pitchers Henry Owens and Noe Ramirez and infielder Deven Marrero won’t be on Boston’s playoff roster. Those omissions are no surprise, however. So, how will the rest of the roster shake out? We should know shortly, but in the meantime, here’s our projection for what the playoff roster
Walt Weiss Steps Down As Rockies Manager After Four Seasons With Club
Share this: Walt Weiss will not return for a fifth season as Colorado Rockies manager. Weiss stepped down from his position as Colorado’s skipper, according to a statement released Monday by the Rockies. His contract expired at the conclusion of the 2016 season.

Kevin Durant Reveals His Favorite Teammate Ever And It Might Surprise You
Share this: Kendrick Perkins is a popular guy. Not only was Perkins beloved during his seven-plus seasons with the Boston Celtics. But he also formed such a good friendship with Kevin Durant during their time together with the Oklahoma City Thunder that Durant considers Perkins to be his favorite teammate ever. “He would call me after every game, and we’d be on the phone until probably 2 o’clock in the morning. And it’d be a bunch of nothing he’ll be talking to me about,” Durant said during a recent interview with Bill Simmons. “And it was just like, man, that’s my big brother right there. He’s going through something, and he’s calling me. So, I miss those convos.” The Thunder traded Perkins to the
Red Sox Notes: John Farrell Makes Some Roster Decisions Ahead Of Postseason
Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox officially are in postseason mode after Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, which means there are roster moves to make.

But luckily for the skipper, he’s already started. “There’s been three players that have been notified they will not be with us,” Farrell said prior to Sunday’s game. “(Starter) Henry Owens and (infielder) Deven Marrero will report to Fort Myers, (Fla.,
NFLPA Won’t Pursue Deflategate Appeals After Consulting With Tom Brady
Share this: It appears we officially can say goodbye to Deflategate. The drama basically has been for a while after Tom Brady decided not to appeal the U.S. Court of Appeals’ decision to reinstate his four-game Deflategate suspension in the offseason, but the NFL Players’ Association still had the option to pursue further legal action in the case. But the NFLPA tweeted Sunday shortly before Brady’s suspension expired at midnight that it is done after talking with Brady. After consultation with Tom Brady and our appellate counsel, we have decided to not pursue additional appeals in this matter. — NFLPA (@NFLPA) October 3, 2016 So there you have it, folks: Deflategate is history. And now it’s on to Cleveland, with TB12 ready to awaken. Thumbnail photo via Noah K. Murray/USA TODAY Sports
