It’s been good to see his commitment, and hopefully he can go out there and play confident, and like all of us, try to go get a win.” Floyd was a highly productive pass-catcher

Phillip Island: Keep Cal(m) and carry on!
Brno was wet and the right tyre choice paid off. Phillip Island, although practice was interrupted by weather, was a dry race – and it was Czech GP winner Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) who took the flag once again for a stunning second career win. With Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) crashing out from the lead after he pushed too hard following the title win in Motegi, it seemed that Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) was on to spoil Crutchlow’s party – but the Italian couldn’t catch him. Managing the tyres to perfection pushing hard when the sun went in to keep the heat in the rubber, Crutchlow had already said he wanted to win in Phillip Island - but
Brad Stevens, Celtics React To Donald Trump’s Election: ‘It Wasn’t My Vote’
Share this: Brad Stevens never has been one to generate controversy, and his players usually try to stay out of politics. But seeing as the Boston Celtics were right down the street from the White House on Wednesday, Stevens couldn’t help but weigh in on Tuesday’s momentous events. Ahead of Boston’s game against the Washington Wizards at Verizon Center, the Celtics coach was asked to react to Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential election and revealed he didn’t vote for the Republican party candidate. “It wasn’t my vote,” Stevens said, via MassLive.com. “Let’s put it that way.” Stevens added he doesn’t like discussing politics but seemed to understand it may be unavoidable after Tuesday night. “The advice that I’ve always been given is don’t talk about politics
Reggie Wayne Fires Back At Angry Patriots Fans After Tom Brady Opinion
Share this: Former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne ticked off a lot of Patriots fans this week when he said on “NFL Total Access” that New England quarterback Tom Brady shouldn’t win the MVP award this season because “he was caught cheating this year.” The anti-Brady-for-MVP argument can be rationalized, even if one doesn’t necessarily agree with the overall sentiment. Brady missed the first four games of the season because of his Deflategate suspension, so his cumulative statistics aren’t there just yet, though other metrics prove beyond a doubt he’s been the best quarterback — maybe the best player — in the league since returning in Week 5. What can’t be rationalized is Wayne’s total disregard for the facts. The whole Deflategate
Bautista: "The top ten was the goal!"
Alvaro Bautista (P10): “I am happy because we rode a good race and had a good weekend. We knew that, despite going through to Q2, it would be a hard battle to get into the top ten and that is our goal. I started well, but in the second lap I lost a few positions because of contact with another rider, so I had to push hard to come back. Then, in the first laps, I had a strange feeling with the rear tyre. We don't know why, but the bike slid around a lot. Then the situation went back to normal and I was able to maintain a good pace. I battled with Bradl and Petrucci, but once I
Notre Dame’s Torii Hunter Jr. Takes Bad Hit, Goes Limp As Dad Watches
Share this: Well, this was a scary hit. Notre Dame senior wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. took a hard hit to the head in the end zone during the third quarter of Sunday night’s game at Texas.
