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.

Kelly Olynyk Just Earned A Place Alongside John Havlicek In Celtics History
John Havlicek stealing the ball is one of the most iconic moments in Boston Celtics history. But on Monday night, the Basketball Hall of Famer was equaled by none other than Kelly Olynyk.

Colin Cowherd Thinks Jimmy Garoppolo Is More Valuable Than No. 1 Pick
Share this: The New England Patriots have one of the most valuable assets in the NFL in backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Trade talk surrounding Garoppolo will likely dominate the NFL offseason.

FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd went on “Undisputed” Monday and voiced his opinion that Garoppolo is more valuable than the No. 1 0verall pick. “I wouldn’t trade him, either, I’m not surprised at all, ” Cowherd said. “Tom’s (Brady) 40, and it’s a big difference between Tom
Jose Canseco Warns Humanity About Robot Takeover In Bizarre Twitter Rant
Jose Canseco wants us all to be smarter about artificial intelligence The former Major League Baseball player used Twitter on Monday to issue a dire warning about robots’ impending takeover of the economy and ultimately our ability to survive.
