Cal Crutchlow, P3: “I’ve been losing in the last sector the whole weekend but I’m very happy to be on the front row, my second of the year, and it was really nice to complete the Honda front row. The team have been working really hard and this weekend we’ve been testing some things for Honda, long nights for the guys in the garage and we haven’t changed much in the setup but we’re happy to do it and it’s a nice job to have – and we’re fast at the same time. We’ve tried most of the tyres and we know the soft rear won’t last the race. The hard will last but I don’t know if it will

Leon Powe Wants Ray Allen At ’08 Celtics Reunion: ‘We’ve Got To Get Over This’
Share this: As much as Boston Celtics fans might not want to admit it, it’s unlikely the team would have won the 2007-08 NBA Finals without Ray Allen. And one of his former teammates agrees. Former Celtics guard Rajon Rondo revealed recently that he was organizing a reunion with the team this summer, but he openly admitted Allen wasn’t invited. Rondo and Allen, in particular, didn’t get along before the shooting guard jumped ship for the Miami Heat, and the move only made things worse. But Leon Powe, who was a key member of the Celtics’ bench that season, thinks the whole issue is ridiculous. “Ray needs an invitation,” Powe said on CSNNE’s “Celtics Talk” podcast Friday. “I don’t care who says he don’t.
First Drew Brees, Now Tom Brady — Brandin Cooks Knows He’s A Lucky Guy
by Zack Cox on Wed, Mar 15, 2017 at 3:25PM 2,411 Share this: As anyone who watched the NFL in 2016 knows all too well, there are only a few truly great quarterbacks currently active in the league. Brandin Cooks will be lucky enough to catch passes from two of them. The New Orleans Saints drafted Cooks in 2014, meaning the first NFL quarterback he worked with was 10-time Pro Bowler Drew Brees. With Brees slinging him the ball, the speedy wide receiver quickly blossomed into a star for New Orleans, racking up 215 receptions, 2,861 receiving yards and 20 touchdown catches over his first three pro seasons. Brees is an excellent quarterback. But Cooks’ new QB is even better. Last Friday, the Saints traded the 23-year-old
Wyc Grousbeck: Celtics Comfortable With Trade Deadline, But Still Two Players Aw…
Share this: The rumor mill was working at full power on NBA trade deadline day, and the asset-rich Boston Celtics were at the center of all the action — until there weren’t. The Celtics were linked to trades for Jimmy Butler or Paul George, but no deals materialized. So they’ll begin their post-All-Star break slate Friday against the Toronto Raptors with the same exact roster that’s propelled them to the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. And Boston is feeling good about where it is, although it admittedly still has work to do to become a championship contender. “We’re very comfortable with what happened,” Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck said Friday on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Felger & Mazz,” as transcribed by CSNNE.com. “We offered
Jamie Collins ‘A Great Fit’ With Browns; Teammate Seth DeValve Explains Why
Share this: HOUSTON — The New England Patriots will play in Super Bowl LI on Sunday, and Jamie Collins will not. If Patriots fans were told that before the season, they’d probably believe it’s because Collins had suffered some significant injury. In reality, though, Collins shockingly was traded on Oct. 31 to the Cleveland Browns, who have welcomed the linebacker with open arms and given him a four-year, $40 contract extension. “I remember the first week he came to Cleveland, in practice, his position and my position go up against each other quite a bit,” Browns tight end Seth DeValve told NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava on Friday at Radio Row, “and I was like, wow, this guy’s good, he’s going to be a great
Celtics Notes: Anticipation Growing For Paul Pierce’s Final Game In Boston
Share this: Houston will be the center of the sports world on Sunday for Super Bowl LI between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons, but that won’t be the only big Boston sports event that day. The red-hot Celtics also will play in a matinee contest against the Los Angeles Clippers in what will be Paul Pierce’s last regular-season game in Boston. Ever. Pierce played 15 seasons in Boston, and helped the Celtics win their 17th NBA championship in 2008. That’s something C’s fans never will forget. And while he hasn’t played for the home team at TD Garden since the 2012-13 season, his presence still is felt all throughout the building. “I think he’s highly respected here and around this league,” Celtics
John Farrell Feels Good About ‘Core Group’ Of Red Sox Starting Rotation
Share this: Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell is excited about the workhorses at the front of his 2017 starting rotation. The Red Sox traded for left-hander Chris Sale in December to add to a rotation that includes the 2016 American League Cy Young winner Rick Porcello and former Cy Young winner David Price. Farrell, who finished fourth in the voting for American League Manager of the Year last season, recognizes the value this three-headed monster will bring to his staff. “I think there were five guys last year in the major leagues who threw over 200 innings, we have three of them,” Farrell told NESN’s Tom Caron on Saturday at Red Sox’s “Baseball Winter Weekend” at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. “To
