Share this: The Florida State football program, at times over the last few years, has been an utter disaster. But if more players and members of the program start handling their business like wide receiver Travis Rudolph, the Seminoles might find themselves in a better place. The junior wideout is getting viral acclaim for his random act of kindness Tuesday at Montford Middle School in Tallahassee. Rudolph and his FSU teammates made an appearance at the school, which is where Rudolph saw Bo Paske, an autistic student sitting by himself at lunch. Rudolph sat down and joined Bo, an interaction captured by someone at the school, who eventually sent the photo to Bo’s mother. Leah Paske then posted the following to here Facebook page. “I asked

Twitter Had A Good Time Making Fun Of Tom Brady’s New Haircut
Share this: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady met the media Tuesday for perhaps the last time in a while because he’s soon going to begin serving a four-game suspension stemming from Deflategate. It wasn’t Brady’s supportive remarks about backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo that caught everyone’s attention, though, it was his new haircut. Twitter, as expected, was all over it. Here’s some of the best reaction to Brady’s latest look.

David Ortiz Visits Corn Maze Shaped In His Likeness In Honor Of Retirement
Share this: In each and every visiting ballpark the Boston Red Sox have traveled to this season, opposing teams have done something to honor David Ortiz, who is retiring at the end of the season following 20 seasons in the big leagues. But Big Papi’s never gotten a gift quite like this. The Davis Mega Maze in Sterling, Mass. partnered with ’47 Brand to carve out a corn maze in the shape of Ortiz’s likeness and with the words “Thanks Big Papi” written in corn as well. Ortiz was on hand for the grand opening Tuesday, and NESN’s cameras were there to capture the exciting scene. “I couldn’t believe it,” Ortiz said after seeing the maze for the first time. “It was something that seemed

Tim Tebow To Red Sox? Dave Dombrowski Not ‘Rushing Out’ To Sign Ex-QB
Share this: There’s still a possibility that one Major League Baseball team gives Tim Tebow the chance to play out his baseball dream. But it appears that team won’t be the Boston Red Sox. Tebow held a workout Tuesday in front of scouts from 28 MLB teams, including the Red Sox. The former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner clearly has some things to work on, but he displayed impressive pop at the plate as well as some decent athleticism in the outfield. When asked Tuesday night if Boston would consider bringing on Tebow, however, Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski didn’t exactly give a ringing endorsement. “We did our due diligence,” Dombrowski said during an appearance on NESN’s “Red Sox First Pitch.” “I
Patriots Lose In Wild Card Round, Tom Brady Retires In CBS ‘Madden NFL 17’ Sim
Share this: Video games are weird sometimes, and going through a franchise or season mode in a sports video game often produces wacky results. CBS Sports ran a simulation of the upcoming 2016 season in the new “Madden NFL 17” video game from EA Sports, and the Atlanta Falcons won the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots won the AFC East division — some things in life are guaranteed, even in Madden — but they had a mediocre 10-6 record and lost in the wild-card round. That playoff loss was to the Steelers, which is totally believable because Pittsburgh is very good and Ben Roethlisberger is one of the league’s top five quarterbacks. What’s stranger is Tom Brady retired after the season, which makes little
White House Objects To Colin Kaepernick’s National Anthem Protest Before NFL Gam…
Share this: The White House has weighed in on the controversy surrounding San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick Kaepernick decided not to stand for the Star-Spangled Banner in protest before a preseason game last week. He’s received a lot of criticism for the decision. “What I can say is that I certainly don’t share the views that Mr. Kaepernick expressed after the game in explaining his reasoning for his actions,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday. “But we surely all acknowledge and even defend his right to express those views in the settings he chooses. That’s what he’s done. Even as objectionable as we find his perspective, he certainly is entitled to express them.” Earnest said he hasn’t spoken to President Barack Obama
