Share this: Josh Norman has had a whole lot to say this offseason, but he still has plenty to learn in the art of trash talking. The Washington Redskins cornerback’s latest outburst came in an extensive interview for ESPN the Magazine, in which he called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell “straight horrible.” Norman also took a shot at Demaryius Thomas, claiming he locked up the Denver Broncos wide receiver in Super Bowl 50 while playing for the Carolina Panthers. “I don’t know what he was out there for,” Norman told ESPN. “He was supposed to be an all-world guy, and I shut him down.” Norman isn’t exactly wrong — Thomas had one catch for eight yards — but there’s one problem: Norman’s Panthers lost Super Bowl 50.

Carter Mock Gets To Just Be A Kid Thanks To Jimmy Fund, Dana-Farber Doctors
Share this: Carter Mock is your typical 8-year-old boy: active, energetic, and in love with exploring the world around him. But when he developed a limp, doctors took a closer look and discovered a tumor in his leg. After almost a year of battling osteosarcoma and fibroblastic sarcoma that included surgery on his leg, Carter is back to being that adventurous boy full time, and he’s got a new mentor to help him explore. None of it would have been possible without The Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, though. The 2016 WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon will take place Aug. 29 through 30. You can donate and learn more here. Hear Carter’s story, as seen on NESN’s “Red Sox First Pitch,” in the video
Warriors Have ‘Short Window’ To Win An NBA Championship, Says David Robinson
Share this: The Golden State Warriors have a chance to make the 2016-17 NBA campaign a historic one after adding superstar forward Kevin Durant to a team that won a record 73 games last season. Forming a cohesive unit won’t be a walk in the park, though, at least according to one Hall of Famer with two championship rings. “It takes time, you look at what happened with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh. It took them a year or two to get their legs underneath them and figure things out and even then that run was relatively short,” San Antonio Spurs legend David Robinson told Complex’s Zach Frydenlund. “So if you’re able to put together a team like this, you’re generally going to have a short window because you

Finn Balor Injured At SummerSlam, Forced To Relinquish WWE Universal Championshi…
Share this: Randy Orton wasn’t the only person injured at SummerSlam on Sunday night. The WWE Universe was enthralled over Finn Balor’s victory over Seth Rollins which made him the inaugural WWE Universal champion. But Balor actually was injured during the match, and now has to relinquish his championship belt just hours after winning it. There were rumors that Balor was injured overnight after a photo of him wearing a sling on his right arm popped up. But the WWE confirmed the injury Monday afternoon, even tweeting out video of when the injury occurred. It seemed that Balor dislocated his shoulder after being thrown into the boards by Rollins, but immediately popped it back in right on the ground before getting up and continuing
David Ortiz’s Extra Hustle Helps Him Tie Hank Aaron’s Doubles Record
Share this: David Ortiz isn’t exactly Usain Bolt, but the big fella can move when he puts his mind to it. Such was the case in the Ortiz’s first at-bat Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, when the Boston Red Sox slugger laced a hard line drive to dead center field off Rays starter Blake Snell. Kevin Kiermaier got the ball in quickly from center, meaning Ortiz had to hustle to get to second base — and he did just that. (Click the photo below to watch the video.) Big Papi’s slide certainly wasn’t pretty — and likely something Red Sox fans don’t want to see too much of — but it was effective nonetheless. That extra hustle also put him in
Resetting Patriots’ Offensive Line With Shaq Mason, Sebastian Vollmer Sidelined
by Zack Cox on Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 8:00AM 1,340 Share this: g On the first day of New England Patriots training camp, recently rehired offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia preached the importance of continuity within his unit. That unit now more than likely will begin the regular season without two of its five projected starters. The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride on Sunday shared some unfortunate news regarding guard Shaq Mason and tackle Sebastian Vollmer, reporting Mason is dealing with a broken hand and Vollmer likely is headed to injured reserve as he nurses an undisclosed ailment. CSNNE.com’s Tom E. Curran later reported a nagging hip injury that could sideline Vollmer for the entire season, and NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport also chimed in with a report that the 32-year-old had undergone
