The Boston Bruins were forced to part ways with one of their bright young players Wednesday night. Defenseman Colin Miller is headed to the Vegas Golden Knights after being selected by the new NHL club in the expansion draft in Las Vegas. Patrice Bergeron, who was in Vegas to receive his fourth Frank J. Selke Trophy at the NHL Awards, said it’s tough to see Miller go, as the 24-year-old was a part of the Bruins’ plans moving forward. To hear what else Bergeron had to say of Miller, check out the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com

NFL Rumors: Is Colin Kaepernick’s Vegan Diet Impacting His Free Agency?
There are multiple theories as to why quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains without an NFL job, but the latest rumor takes the (vegan) cake. Although many have pointed to last season’s national anthem protest (and the extra attention attached to Kaepernick for spearheading it) as the primary reason for his lengthy free agency process, Kaepernick’s diet also could be concerning teams, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco. On the surface, this sounds rather crazy. Even if a vegan diet doesn’t seem ideal for a professional athlete constantly faced with intense physical demands, it’s wild to envision teams putting so much stock into t... NESN.com
Colin Cowherd Delivers Mind-Boggling Tom Brady Take Before AFC Title Game
When you hear what Colin Cowherd said about Tom Brady on Tuesday, you’ll forget what New York Daily News NFL columnist Manish Mehta wrote about the New England Patriots quarterback. Yes, the hot take you’re about to watch truly is a sight to behold.

It looks as though the NFL rumor mill got a little ahead of itself on a potential Colin Kaepernick trade. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that the San Francisco 49ers had agreed in principle to trade the quarterback to the Denver Broncos, but ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported that’s not entirely true. A source told Florio on Sunday that talk of a deal being close was overstated because “someone wanted it out there.” The original report stated the Broncos and Kaepernick were trying to work out a way to reduce the signal-caller’s $ 11.9 million base salary, which became guaranteed Friday, and that was the only thing holding the dea...
Bruins Notes: Colin Miller Lets It Rip; Torey Krug Hopes To Be Longtime Bruin
by Zack Cox on Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 10:36PM 1,713 The Boston Bruins earned a much-needed victory in their first visit to the Garden State this season, breezing past the injury-ravaged New Jersey Devils 4-1 on Friday night. The game carried playoff implications — New Jersey held the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference entering Friday; Boston owned the second — and kicked off a five-game road trip for the Bruins, who will play 13 of their next 20 games away from TD Garden.
