Browns First-Round Pick Shares Embarrassing Moment With Joe Thomas
Share this: David Njoku was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the No. 29 pick just a few weeks ago, so it would be understandable if he hasn’t been familiarized with all of his teammates yet. But one would think he’d know who Joe Tomas is. The seven-time All-Pro tackle has been one of the NFL’s best offensive lineman for nearly a decade and is one of the faces of the franchise. Njoku, however, clearly wasn’t aware of this. .@David_Njoku80 I told him I'm a player/coach. Mostly I'll be coaching, but you will see me playing on sundays. 😂 — Joe Thomas (@joethomas73) May 12, 2017 Given they’ll be sharing a huddle in the upcoming season, we have a feeling Njoku and Thomas will get to know
Dunkin’ Donuts Poll Results: Should The Designated Hitter Be In Both Leagues?
Share this: The Boston Red Sox had one of greatest designated hitters in the history of major league baseball in David Ortiz. A debate has been taking place ever since the American League introduced the DH to baseball in 1973. The DH replaces the pitcher in the batting lineup in the AL, but there is no DH in the National League forcing the pitcher to hit for himself. In this weeks Dunkin’ Donuts Poll, NESN asked fans if they would like to see the DH in both the AL and the NL, and you can see what they had to say in the video above.

This Impressive Map Breaks Down 263 Companies Developing Self-Driving Tech
Share this: When people think of companies developing autonomous-vehicle technology, a few big ones, such as Tesla, Uber, Waymo and Faraday Future come to mind. But the fact is, there are hundreds more that are involved in the revolution. Like, 259 more. In a blog post published Wednesday, Comet Labs’ Taylor Stewart shared “The Future of Transportation Stack,” basically a visual breakdown of how 263 different companies are working on different facets of self-driving technology. The graphic is a lot to take in, but is undeniably fascinating. (Click here for a full-size version of the stack) So why create such a visual? According to Stewart, it’s so the little guys aren’t forgotten. “Because this is a complex problem beyond autonomy alone — and because both incumbents and
What David Andrews’ Reported Contract Extension Means For Patriots
by Zack Cox on Fri, May 12, 2017 at 9:31AM 1,673 Share this: The New England Patriots reportedly locked up their starting center for the foreseeable future Thursday night, agreeing to terms with David Andrews on a three-year contract extension that runs through 2020. Andrews, who joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2015, was set to hit free agency after this season. His new deal is worth $9 million, with incentives that could drive its value up to $11 million, according to multiple reports. A few thoughts on Andrews’ extension: — At first glance, this looks like a very team-friendly contract. The $3 million in average annual value will rank 14th among NFL centers. On the other hand, Andrews has been a full-time
Stephen A. Smith On James Harden’s No-Show: ‘He Looks Like He Was Drugged’
Share this: With talks of a “Space Jam” sequel coming down the road, it looked Thursday night like Houston Rockets star James Harden might have had his talent stripped by the Monstars — and that’s probably a theory ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith would believe. Harden picked a bad time for one of the worst games of his career, as he was a no-show in the Rockets’ season-ending Game 6 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The banged-up Spurs annihilated the Rockets 114-75, while Harden scored just 10 points on 2-of-11 shooting with six turnovers before eventually fouling out. Smith, in an appearance late Thursday night on “SportsCenter,” struggled to find an answer for Harden’s performance. He joked (at least we think he’s joking) that
Red Sox’s Craig Kimbrel Overpowers Brewers With Filthy Ninth Inning
Share this: The Milwaukee Brewers didn’t stand a chance against Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel on Thursday afternoon. After Mookie Betts gave the Red Sox a three-run lead with a go-ahead blast in the ninth inning, Kimbrel came on for the save and struck out the side in overpowering fashion to preserve Boston’s 4-1 victory. Here are all three of Kimbrel’s filthy punchout pitches. Kimbrel has been dominant in the early stages of the 2017 season. The right-hander has converted on all 10 save opportunities and currently has an ERA of 1.15 to go along with 31 strikeouts. And it’s been the strikeout pitch that’s been working for Kimbrel lately.
