John Farrell Marvels At Chris Sale’s All-Around Game In Loss To Phillies
Share this: Chris Sale did just about everything he could to help the Boston Red Sox grab a victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night. Sale hurled eight innings, only allowing one run on four hits with 10 strikeouts. He even blasted a double in his first game hitting in the 2017 season. But unfortunately for Sale, his efforts weren’t enough, as the Phillies narrowly topped the Sox 1-0. After the game, Red Sox manager John Farrell gushed over Sale’s all-around performance, both on the hill and at the plate. To hear what Farrell had to say, check out the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. More Stories Source link
Draymond Green Mocks LeBron James’ Haircut In Savage Instagram Post
Share this: The NBA Finals are over, but Draymond Green isn’t done taking shots at the Cleveland Cavaliers. First, Green trolled the Cavs by wearing a “Quickie” shirt during the Golden State Warriors’ championship parade Thursday — a play on the Quicken Loans Arena, where Cleveland plays its home games. That was just the appetizer, though. Later in the day, Green put up an Instagram post mocking a video Cavs star LeBron James has posted shortly before the Warriors’ parade began. The video showed James hitting the gym and showing off his new haircut, to which Green replied: “Them dubs (Warriors) finally made him go bald!!! Congrats bro.” Insert about a million skull emojis here. James did have a pretty great response to Green for the shirt
What To Make Of Dwayne Allen After Patriots Tight End’s Spring Struggles
Share this: [embedded content] Organized team activities and minicamp mostly went swimmingly for the New England Patriots this spring. Most of the Patriots’ high-profile additions shined in the unpadded practices, and the defense and offense looked well-matched. Tight end Dwayne Allen, who was acquired in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason, had his struggles, however. Allen dropped passes and had some miscommunication with quarterback Tom Brady. So, are these common struggles associated with joining a new team, or is there reason to be concerned that Allen won’t be able to fill Martellus Bennett’s old role as the Patriots’ No. 2 tight end? NESN.com’s Doug Kyed, Zack Cox and Michaela Vernana discussed Allen on this week’s “Between The Tackles” podcast. Watch the clip above or

Stephen Curry Says He Probably Wouldn’t Visit Donald Trump, White House
Share this: After another dominant regular season, the Golden State Warriors won their second NBA title in three years. With a championship in any major professional sport, it usually comes with a trip to the White House in Washington D.C. to be congratulated by the president of the United States, who currently is Donald Trump. There sometimes are a few individuals who decline the offer, which is their absolute right. And Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry, like teammate Andre Iguodala, apparently has become a part of that group, as reported Wednesday. Steph Curry just said he probably wouldn't go to the White House — Marcus Thompson (@ThompsonScribe) June 14, 2017 Curry said the team still has to discuss the White House visit. But he has
