There’s An Alternate Universe Where Julian Edelman Is With The Packers

Share this: Green Bay Packers fans might want to skip this story from New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman. Let’s just say his miraculous catch 10 days ago could have helped the Packers, not the Patriots, win Super Bowl LI. Edelman appeared on NFL Network’s “Total Access” on Tuesday night and was asked how he wound up with the Patriots after he wasn’t even invited to the 2009 NFL Scouting Combine while coming out of Kent State as a quarterback (did you know Edelman played quarterback in college?!) It’s a lengthy tale from Edelman but worth reading in its entirety. “It’s crazy, so the whole not going to the combine thing, you have your pro day, and so at your pro day you go,

NFL Playoff Picture: Patriots Can Clinch AFC East, First-Round Bye Vs. Broncos

Stop What You’re Doing And Watch Ohio State’s Noah Brown Make All-Time Great Cat…

Share this: If you aren’t watching the Ohio State-Oklahoma game, you missed one of the best college football plays you’ll ever see. The Buckeyes’ Noah Brown went up to catch a 21-yard touchdown pass with six seconds remaining in the first half, but Sooners defensive back Michiah Quick was all over him and prevented Brown from seeing the ball come his way. But Brown somehow still made an incredible circus catch off Quick’s back, giving his team a 35-17 lead at the half. Oh. My. Goodness. It’s probably safe to say we’ll see that TD reception a few more times the rest of the season — and beyond. Thumbnail photo via Kevin Jairaj/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link

Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi’s Insane Catch Was Years In The Making

Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi’s Insane Catch Was Years In The Making

The legend of Andrew Benintendi is growing by the day. The 22-year-old outfielder has garnered a few local headlines with his play since getting promoted straight from Double-A Portland to the Boston Red Sox. But he burst into the national spotlight Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, making a ridiculous catch to rob Steven Souza Jr. of a sure home run in one of the best plays you’ll see this season. Benintendi’s natural position is center field, so his stellar snag in left field might come as a surprise to some. But apparently the Red Sox rookie had been preparing for that moment since he was a young tot. “I remember when I was ... NESN.com
