The Patriots’ newcomer, linebacker Barkevious Mingo, was the Patriots’ brightest star in the game. See who else stood out. LB BARKEVIOUS MINGOMingo, who was acquired from the Cleveland Browns for a fifth-round pick, was all over the field with multiple pressures, six tackles, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hits.

Was Teddy Bridgewater In Danger Of Losing His Leg After Severe Knee Injury?
Share this: Teddy Bridgewater suffered a pretty brutal injury that will sideline him for the entire season, but judging by recent reports, it appears he actually got pretty lucky. The Minnesota Vikings quarterback completely tore his left ACL and dislocated his knee while suffering a non-contact injury at practice Tuesday. Bridgewater’s injury was so bad that practice was canceled, and an ambulance had to be called to take him away. Turns out it was a good thing that ambulance came quickly. According to injury expert Will Carroll, there was a chance Bridgewater could have lost his leg had he not received immediate treatment.

A Young Clay Buchholz Dazzled Orioles With A No-Hitter Nine Years Ago Today
Share this: For all the rough patches Clay Buchholz has gone through lately, it’s easy to forget he once was one of baseball’s most exciting pitchers. Buchholz made his major league debut for the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 17, 2007. And while he picked up the win in a solid outing, it was the Texas native’s next appearance that had Red Sox fans salivating. On Sept. 1, 2007 — exactly nine years ago today — Buchholz absolutely flummoxed the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in just his second big league start. The lanky 23-year-old right-hander threw a dominating mix of lively fastballs, diving changeups and devastating curveballs that kept the O’s guessing. That excellent arsenal helped Buchholz rack up nine strikeouts, and his last made
College Football Picks 2016: Predicting Heisman Trophy Finalists, Winner
Share this: Week 1 of the college football season kicks off this weekend, and the best players in the nation will begin building their Heisman Trophy cases.

NFL Team Officials Liken Colin Kaepernick To Traitor: ‘F–k That Guy’
Share this: Remember Ray Rice, Michael Vick, Aaron Hernandez, Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy and the countless other NFL players linked to heinous crimes? Well, apparently Colin Kaepernick is worse than all of them, if you ask some NFL front office executives. The Internet takes on Kaepernick not standing for the national anthem are hotter than Phoenix in July, and apparently a few executives have pretty similar feelings of outrage toward the San Francisco 49ers quarterback. Bleacher Report NFL writer Mike Freeman asked numerous executives about their thoughts on Kaepernick’s decision not to stand during the anthem as a form of protest against the recent killings of African Americans by police, and their distaste for Kaepernick was pretty glaring. “I don’t want him anywhere near my team,” an executive
