Liverpool turned on the style to record their first Premier League victory of 2017 with a comprehensive 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Saturday evening. An explosive first-half performance saw the Reds fly into a two-goal lead thanks to a quick-fire double from Sadio Mane. The forward first converted after being sent clean through on goal by Georginio Wijnaldum’s through ball after 16 minutes.

Iannone: “Today we tried to focus on the race pace”
AI29, P11: “The day was positive and my feeling is good. Today we tried to focus on the race pace, finding a good balance of the bike and consistency in performance, and we improved session by session, which is positive. Also, the settings got some improvements, especially on the front; yesterday we experienced some vibrations in braking and slow corners and today we managed to find a good solution. Overall I am very satisfied with these three-days, we worked very well with my team and the feeling with the GSX-RR is very positive. Of course, we have many areas we can improve upon, but now our engineers have much data to work on and for sure we will be able
NBA Rumors: Knicks Eyeing Celtics As Third Team In Carmelo Anthony Trade
Share this: Even if Carmelo Anthony doesn’t come to Boston, the Celtics still could be part of a trade that sends the New York Knicks star elsewhere. While the C’s reportedly have told New York they don’t want Anthony, the Knicks “haven’t given up hope” on including Boston as a partner in a three-team deal involving the veteran forward, the Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn reported Sunday. New York sent a scout to the Celtics’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday and is “intrigued” by some of Boston’s players, per Washburn. “An NBA source said Celtics coach Brad Stevens would embrace coaching Anthony, but president of basketball operations Danny Ainge has rejected any deal,” Washburn wrote. “That hasn’t stopped the Knicks from scouting Celtics

Matt Patricia Rumors: Chargers, Rams Request To Interview Patriots Coordinator
by Zack Cox on Mon, Jan 2, 2017 at 3:30PM 2,560 Share this: Josh McDaniels isn’t the only New England Patriots coordinator garnering interest from NFL teams with head-coaching vacancies. The Los Angeles Rams and San Diego Chargers both have submitted requests to interview Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday. The Rams fired head coach Jeff Fisher last month, and the Chargers canned Mike McCoy on Sunday.

Ray Lewis Apologizes To Joe Flacco After Questioning Ravens QB’s Passion
Share this: Ray Lewis’ playing days — and days as an ESPN NFL analyst — are over, but he’s still finding ways to stir up controversy. The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker, known for speaking his mind, did just that last week on the topic of quarterback Joe Flacco. In an appearance on FOX Sports 1’s “Speak For Yourself,” Lewis questioned Flacco’s passion for the game. “There is something called talent, right?” Lewis said. “And you see it a dime a dozen. And then there’s something called being passionate about what you do. About really what you do. And being around it — gifted? Absolutely. Passionate about what he (does)? I’ve never seen that. I don’t know what that looks like.” They’re interesting comments from Lewis,
Importance Of Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett For Patriots Can’t Be Overstated
Share this: One of the many things New England Patriots fans were looking forward to this season was how the two-tight end sets with Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett would look like. But the results so far have been mixed. The Gronk-Bennett duo was on full display was in the Patriots’ win over the Cleveland Browns in Tom Brady’s first game back from his four-game Deflategate suspension. Gronk didn’t have a touchdown, but he did haul in 109 receiving yards on five catches. Bennett, meanwhile, had three touchdowns and 67 yards receiving. So, will New England get that sort of performance out of Gronkowski and Bennett on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks? NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava and Matt Chatham discussed that and more in the video from “NESN
