The Darrelle Revis saga continues. Two days after the New York Jets star cornerback turned himself in to Pittsburgh police, a video was obtained by TMZ that shows a man bragging about knocking two men out cold. The man bragging is not seen in the eight-second clip, so it is unclear if it is Revis who is the only person charged in the case. However, as TMZ points out, the words in the video closely match what the alleged victims claim Revis said. Warning the video contains a NSFW warning for explicit language. Revis is being charged with four felonies and a misdemeanor stemming from the alleged altercation. He was released on

Many people seem to be in a rush to swap out their cars’ old halogen light bulbs for new, flashy LED or HID bulbs. But not only is that potentially illegal, it also might not give you the results you’re looking for. When vehicles are put together, the headlight housings are designed to house specific bulbs. And although these bulbs can be swapped out for different kinds, improved performance isn’t guaranteed. Don’t believe us? Watch this video posted to YouTube by EricTheCarGuy to see how different bulbs perform in a 2004 Honda Element with halogen bulb housings. We here at NESN Fuel love us some good light bulbs, but this
Yoan Moncada’s Son Already A Bat-Flipping Machine And He’s Not Even 3 Years Old
Yoan Moncada made his Major League Baseball debut at a young age, and it appears his son is headed in that direction, too. The Chicago White Sox infielder’s son is just 2 1/2 years old, but he’s already displaying some pretty impressive bat flip skills. A video posted to Instagram on Thursday night showed little Robinson Moncada schooling all the other kids on the tee-ball field. His baserunning could use some work, though. Moncada is MLB’s No. 2 prospect, right behind former Boston Red Sox teammate ... NESN.com
Isaiah Thomas ‘Confident’ He Can Pass Russell Westbrook As NBA’s Top Scorer
The Boston Celtics have had a remarkable season thus far, and that is in large part due to Isaiah Thomas. The All-Star guard is averaging an incredible 29.9 points per game this season, good for the second-highest mark in the NBA. Thomas only trails Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook, who’s averaging 30.9 points per game and has held the top spot for the majority of the season. However, with 26 games remaining in the Celtics’ season, Thomas believes he can overtake Westbrook on the scoring leaderboard, as he told Bill Doyle of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette following the Celtics’ 116-108 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on ...

Potential Aaron Hernandez Trial Juror Wears Patriots Hat In Court, Dismissed For Obvious Reason
One New England Patriots fan didn’t bother pretending to be impartial in Aaron Hernandez’s looming double-murder trial. A potential juror in Hernandez’s trial wore a New England Patriots hat to Suffolk Superior Court on Tuesday, according to The Boston Herald’s Laurel J. Sweet. Court officers made him take off the hat. Needless to say, he was among the 64 people who were dismissed from the jury pool. That leaves 119 potential jurors remaining in the pool, with another 200 expected to arrive for vetting Wednesday. Hernandez, a former Patriots tight end, is accused of shooting Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira to death o... NESN.com

MLB Rumors: Reds Agree To Trade Brandon Phillips To Braves; Return ‘Minimal’
Brandon Phillips appears to be packing his bags after more than a decade in Cincinnati. The Reds have agreed to trade their longtime second baseman to the Atlanta Braves, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney reported Sunday, citing a source. It’s unclear what Cincinnati will acquire in return, but FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal doesn’t expect it to be much. Rosenthal was the first to report the teams were close to a deal for Phillips, which is expected to be finalized Monday, per Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. Phillips was a staple of the Reds’ infield for 11 seasons, earning three All-Star nods over that span as one of Cincinnati’s most dependable ... NESN.com
