Guard Kris Dunn in his new backup position helps Bulls dismantle
Jim Boylen by no means completed his sentence. According to the Bulls coach, Kris Dunn wasn’t going to let him. “Before I might even get out the phrases, ‘Kris, I’m going to convey you off the bench to start out the season,’ he had already stated, ‘Coach, I’m going to do no matter you want me to do and I’m prepared for what you need me to do.’ Before I might even get it out,’’ Boylen stated on Thursday, when discussing how he introduced his determination on a place to begin guard to the gamers earlier this week. “It was a two-minute dialog.’’ One that the straight-shooting Boylen had no downside having with Dunn. “I’ve at
Bill Belichick Briefly Explains Why Patriots Signed Backup QB Brian Hoyer
There was a quick 24-hour span when New England Patriots rookie tight end Jacob Hollister might have been Tom Brady’s backup quarterback. The Patriots officially traded quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the 49ers on Tuesday afternoon and eventually signed Brian Hoyer, who San Francisco released, on Wednesday. Brady was the only quarterback on the Patriots’ roster during that span, and Hollister was the only healthy player who served as a college QB. It seems obvious why the Patriots elected to sign Hoyer over other available quarterbacks, most notably former 49ers signal-caller Colin Kaepernick. Hoyer played with the Patriots from 2009 until the summer of 2... NESN.com

The Boston Bruins improved to 2-0 in the preseason with a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night at TD Garden.

Michigan Band Plays ‘Jurrasic Park’ Theme Song With T-Rex Backup Dancers
Things got a little prehistoric at Michigan Stadium on Saturday. During Michigan’s game against Cincinnati on Saturday, the Wolverine marching band played a rendition of one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. We’re talking, of course, about the “Jurassic Park” theme song. And, to top it all off, the performance included a slew of back up dancers wearing T-Rex costumes, because of course. These things were great, but where was the love for the Velociraptor? It was a pretty good day for Michigan fans at the Big House, as the Wolverines dino-stomped the Bearcats by a score of 36-14. The school’s marching band wi... NESN.com
NBA Rumors: Lakers Giving ‘Strong Consideration’ To Rajon Rondo In Free Agency
Share this: The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t trade for Paul George and haven’t agreed to any notable signings in free agency, but that doesn’t mean the Purple and Gold aren’t looking at making some moves. Lakers obviously hanging back at start of free agency, but one player they continue to give strong consideration to is Rajon Rondo — Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) July 2, 2017 Rajon Rondo, who’s an unrestricted free agent, certainly would be an interesting fit in Los Angeles. He’s not a good shooter, both from 3-point range and the free throw line, but he’s still a quality playmaker at age 31. He averaged 7.8 points, 6.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds in 69 games for the Chicago Bulls last season. The Lakers selected former UCLA
Here’s Who The Seahawks Signed Instead Of Colin Kaepernick At Backup QB
Share this: It’s not too often that backup quarterback signings generate national headlines. But such is the NFL world in which Colin Kaepernick is a free agent. The Seattle Seahawks made a relatively minor transaction Monday, signing veteran quarterback Austin Davis to serve as Russell Wilson’s backup. The big news here, of course, is who Seattle didn’t sign — Kaepernick, who met with the Seahawks and generated plenty of buzz on social media but still is without a job as training camp rapidly approaches. Head coach Pete Carroll gave a simple explanation for not acquiring Kaepernick, in essence saying he’s too good to be a backup. That might suggest the Seahawks didn’t have the cap room to sign him, despite reports that the
