Why Martellus Bennett Is More Like Randy Moss Than You’d Think
Share this: Martellus Bennett hasn’t shied away from discussing his discontent with the Chicago Bears, who traded him to the New England Patriots last offseason. But Bennett is one of the best tight ends in the league, and Chicago has been one of the worst teams in the league for several years — probably in part because they couldn’t figure out how to use him (or his teammates) properly. NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava was on hand at Gillette Stadium, and she caught up with NESN analyst and former Patriot Matt Chatham, who explained why Bennett is like another misfit player who found his way back to stardom once he was traded to New England.

American Pole Vaulter Halts Attempt When Star-Spangled Banners Starts Playing
Share this: Sam Kendricks, a second lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve, was competing in the pole vault last week when midway through one of his attempts, the star-spangled banner from a medal ceremony happening on the other side of the stadium started playing. In a show of patriotism for his country and respect for his fellow athletes, Kendricks stopped competing once he heard the national anthem.

It was Team USA’s first pole vaulting medal at the Olympics in 12 years. Thumbnail photo via Eric Seals/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
