Martellus Bennett Recalls Halftime Scene In Patriots’ Locker Room During Super B…
by Zack Cox on Thu, May 18, 2017 at 10:34AM 1,342 Share this: By all accounts, the New England Patriots were a confident bunch during halftime of Super Bowl LI, despite the fact they trailed the Atlanta Falcons by 18 points at the time. Quietly confident, according to Martellus Bennett. Bennett, who now plays for the Green Bay Packers, recalled in an interview with Inc. what the mood was like inside the Patriots’ locker room. “In the Super Bowl, we were down,” the tight end said. “We were getting our (butts) kicked. But the most interesting thing about that Super Bowl was that it took that collective group of guys to be together to come back. We came into the locker room at halftime, and there
Liverpool Moves To Third In Premier League With 3-1 Win Over Everton
Share this: Goals from Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi earned Liverpool a 3-1 Merseyside Derby victory over Everton at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. Brilliant individual efforts from Mane and Coutinho in the first half, along with Origi’s powerful strike on the hour mark, saw the Reds move up to third in the Premier League by completing the double over their neighbors this season. Everton had briefly drawn level through Matthew Pennington following Mane’s early opener, but Coutinho responded immediately to make sure the hosts went in ahead at the interval. Mane was forced off with an apparent ankle injury soon after halftime, however, Origi, the No. 19’s replacement, sealed all three points for Liverpool with a fine finish just minutes after coming
Taj Gibson Throws Prayer Mile High From Other End Of Court, Somehow Drains Shot
We tend to call way too many sports plays “incredible”, but we really can’t think of anything else to say about what the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Taj Gibson did at the halftime buzzer Thursday night. The Portland Trail Blazers went for the old lob pass off an inbounds play to try to get one last shot off before the half, but the ball ended up in Gibson’s hands instead. Since there were two seconds remaining, Gibson launched a shot of his own, probably just for the heck of it. But his mile-high heave turned into one of the luckiest shots you’ll ever see. Oh. My. Goodness. Thumbnail photo via Mark D. Smith/USA TODAY
Brandon Marshall Reportedly Ticked Off Jets Teammates With Halftime Rant
The New York Jets weren’t really in the holiday spirit Saturday. Not only did the team get blown out by the New England Patriots 41-3 on Christmas Eve at Gillette Stadium. But some Jets players were irked by a fiery speech given by wide receiver Brandon Marshall at halftime with New York trailing 27-0, team sources told ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini. Marshall told ESPN.com on Wednesday that his objective was to fire up his Jets teammates. The outburst seemingly had the opposite effect, though, as the speech reportedly might have raised tensions in the Jets’ locker room. “We were getting our butts kicked, and I was trying to get guys to respond, ...

U.S. women win 6th consecutive basketball gold
By Doug Feinberg AP Basketball Writer RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Geno Auriemma and Diana Taurasi shared a long, emotional embrace. Mission accomplished. The dominant U.S. women’s basketball team did what was expected, winning a sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal and doing it in impressive fashion. In yet another rout, the U.S. dismantled Spain 101-72 on Saturday. Taurasi and the Americans played nearly flawless basketball in Rio, and were never challenged. They have won 49 consecutive games in the Olympics with only one of those decided by single digits. “It’s amazing isn’t it? I mean when you think, that’s 20 years of 20 years,” Auriemma said. “You know the first one was 96 and here we are 2016. It’s mindboggling when you think about it
