If you want to interact with Chris Sale next season, you’re going to have to do it at Fenway Park. The Boston Red Sox ace spoke to the media after joining the team via trade on Dec. 6, but of course not everything Sale said made it into the mainstream. So when The Boston Globe’s Pete Abraham published some of the more interesting tidbits, Sale’s answer about his social media presence stood out. “Not me, man,” Sale said. “I don’t do any of it. You won’t see me doing that. I stay off Twitter. If there is something I need to know, somebody will tell me.” Sale wouldn’t be the first Red

Tom Brady, Patriots ‘Get Back On the Horse’ In Latest Edition Of TB Times
Tom Brady and the New England Patriots had reason to celebrate Sunday, as they clinched their eighth straight AFC East title with a 16-3 win over the Denver Broncos. Brady only threw for 188-yards, but the defense carried the day, forcing three turnovers and sacking quarterback Trevor Siemian four times. As has become custom after every Patriots’ win this season, Tom Brady released the latest edition of the “TB Times” on Facebook after the game. The post shows Brady taming a horse, which is fitting as the Patriots’ offensive line was able to tame the Broncos’ pass rush, something they were unable to do in the 2016 AFC Championship Ga...

Pablo Sandoval Looks Noticeably Slimmer In Workout Videos From Fort Myers
Pablo Sandoval has talked the talk, and now it appears he’s walking the walk. The Boston Red Sox third baseman recently opened up about his disappointing 2016 campaign, admitting he got “complacent” while training for a season that saw him play just three games before being shut down for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.

The videos aren’t embeddable, but here’s a sample, courtesy of Bleacher Report’s St... NESN.com
Paige VanZant Ready To Prove Doubters Wrong At UFC Fight Night Sacramento
Because a lot of people feel like Paige VanZant was foisted upon them — declared the one to watch and the “next big thing” in the strawweight division — almost instantaneously following her first UFC victory, the narratives that have surrounded the 22-year-old fighter as she’s prepared to hit the cage have frequently carried a great doubtful tone. While young talents frequently are put in a position to prove themselves against more established veterans, the questions directed at VanZant rarely have been about the caliber of opponent she’s about to face. Instead, they have often been questions seemingly designed to get the Team Alpha Male representa... NESN.com
