Patriots Worked Out Five Free Agents, Including Two Receivers

Share this: Running back David Cobb wasn’t the only free agent worked out by the New England Patriots this week. The Patriots also tried out wide receivers Mitch Mathews and K.J. Maye, tight end Nic Jacobs, offensive tackle Clay DeBord and defensive back Tyler Patmon, a source told NESN.com. The receivers likely will be of most interest to Patriots fans, since New England kept just four players on their 53-man roster. Mathews went undrafted out of BYU and spent the summer with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 6-foot-5, 222-pound wideout ran a 4.49-second 40-yard dash at his pro day in March with a 6.99-second 3-cone, 4.25-second short shuttle, 36-inch vertical leap and 10-foot, 9-inch broad jump. He caught 152 passes for 2,083 yards with

Conor McGregor Learns From Mistakes, Exacts Revenge Vs. Nate Diaz At UFC 202

Share this: Through the first three rounds, it appeared as though Saturday’s UFC 202 fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz was destined for the same result as their first meeting. But this time, McGregor was able to turn the tide. McGregor was the aggressor to start, and he had a very smart strategy. He knew he had to take away Diaz’s right leg so Diaz couldn’t plant it and deliver big strikes as the bout wore on, so that’s exactly what he did. You could tell as the first and second rounds went on that Diaz was starting to lose his plant leg. But Diaz started to regain momentum, and he was the one who started connecting on successful combinations, which started to knock McGregor

Conor McGregor’s Aspirations Go Well Beyond Beating Nate Diaz At UFC 202

Share this: Conor McGregor is focused on Nate Diaz a week out from their epic rematch at UFC 202, but the Irish sensation — obsessed with records and making history — is eyeing not only a second world title, but three before it’s all said and done. “I still envision two or possibly three belts on my shoulder,” McGregor said Friday night. Speaking in front of a small collection of media at a private workout session at his self-made gym in Las Vegas, a relaxed McGregor spoke about the biggest question that always seems to follow him, even before his current matchup: What’s next? McGregor is holding his ground as the featherweight king, but he also wonders what would have been if Rafael dos Anjos

Patriots Joint Practice Notes: Training Camp Fight Nothing New For Bears

by Zack Cox on Mon, Aug 15, 2016 at 7:42PM 1,734 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The mildest of mid-practice altercations is cause for alarm in New England Patriots training camp. That apparently is not the case out in Chicago. The Patriots and Bears engaged in several post-whistle skirmishes during Monday’s joint practice, including one sparked by Malcolm Butler and Alshon Jeffery that featured more than a dozen participants from each side. While not a full-on brawl, it was by far the biggest fight of the the Patriots offseason, which before Monday had only featured a scrap between center Bryan Stork and defensive lineman Woodrow Hamilton during organized team activities. The Bears, on the other hand, reportedly have sparred quite reguarly during their training camp — so much so that

Yamaha VR46 Master Camp riders hit the track

Soichiro Minamimoto (Japan): “I learned the basic techniques today and at the end of the session I was able to run the overall corner and control the tyre slide, which I really enjoyed. It was the first time that I rode a YZ250F, but it was very good. I wanted to go fast at the beginning, because it’s easy to jump to a conclusion, but Mr. Marco Belli said to us that it’s important to think ahead and I understood what he said very much.”...
