Share this: It’ll be just like old times this weekend for Tom Brady and Wes Welker. Welker revealed Friday morning on a Miami radio station that he contacted Brady because he’ll be in town for Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium. It seemed like a perfect opportunity for the two to catch up. But Brady’s definition of “catching up” involves far more than just a meal. In fact, it involves some literal “catching” as the Patriots quarterback looks to stay sharp during his four-game Deflategate suspension. “I hit him up to do dinner Saturday night. He’s like, ‘I’m going to be flying in from Ann Arbor later (after the Michigan-Colorado football game), but how about that morning

Bills Shock Jets On ‘Thursday Night Football,’ Score Two Touchdowns In Two Minut…
Share this: The New York Jets were well on their way to earning an easy win against the Buffalo Bills on “Thursday Night Football.” Until they weren’t. Sure, Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis looked silly again early in the game after Marquise Goodwin torched him for an 84-yard touchdown. But it couldn’t happen to the Jets secondary again, could it? Think again. That’s a 71-yard touchdown to Greg Salas, for those keeping score at home. Fortunately for Revis, it wasn’t him who blew the coverage. Fortunately for the Bills, touchdowns that don’t embarrass Revis still count on the scoreboard. Just 2:54 later, though, the Bills took advantage of a stroke of luck and took it to the bank. With that defensive touchdown, the Bills stormed back from

Braves, Marlins Clear Benches After Jose Ramirez Buzzes Jose Fernandez
Share this: A couple of pitchers named “Jose” were at the center of a heated situation Wednesday night at Turner Field. The Braves and Marlins cleared the benches when Atlanta reliever Jose Ramirez threw a pitch over the head of Miami ace Jose Fernandez. Fernandez had been squaring around to bunt in the seventh inning when he received the chin music from Ramirez. No punches were thrown once everyone ran onto the field, but it was a rather tense game, all things considered.

Perhaps that sequence of events sparked Ramirez’s purpose pitch in the seventh, although it’s

But it wasn’t the only reason — Curry admitted to being flustered when Obama started talking smack. First Lady Michelle Obama also appeared on the show and didn’t seem surprised at her husband’s method of competing. She did, however, tell Curry to give it back to him — in
