The players thought his training sessions were really hard, but the team soon began to win matches and we knew it was worth it. He gave us extra strength and that was the reason we won three straight championships."28 – Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) 2006/07Eduardo, ... UEFA.com - News

NFL’s Response To Cam Newton Taking Massive Blow To Head Is Dumbfounding
Share this: Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton took several punishing hits in his team’s 21-20 loss to the Denver Broncos in Thursday night’s NFL season opener. The most dangerous hit came on Carolina’s final drive when Newton was marching the team into position for a potential game-winning field goal. Newton took a ferocious helmet-to-helmet hit that was penalized, although the penalty was cancelled out by an intentional grounding infraction. [embedded content] Sadly and predictably, the league dropped the ball when it came to evaluating Newton for a possible concussion. Even though this hit was terrifying, plus the fact Newton suffered other hits to the head earlier in the game, medical staff didn’t believe there were “indications of a concussion,” which is mind-boggling. “There was communication between medical personnel on

Yoan Moncada’s Performance Doesn’t Show Who He’s Going To Be, John Farrell Says
Share this: Just because Yoan Moncada has struggled to make contact with the baseball in his first few major league games doesn’t mean that’s the player he’ll be for his entire career. The Boston Red Sox third baseman has been striking out a lot in his first four big league games — seven times in his last seven at-bats, to be specific — and for that reason Travis Shaw started at third Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. But Red Sox manager John Farrell made it clear Wednesday on WEEI’s “Dale & Holley” that Moncada isn’t a lost cause. “I don’t know that we can sit here (Wednesday) and after what’s it been, 15 at-bats, that this is who he’s going to be,” Farrell said. “There’s
Yoan Moncada Impressing Xander Bogaerts, Red Sox With Strong Arm At Third Base
Share this: Saturday was a special night for Yoan Moncada at the plate, but he brings more to the table than just his bat. The 21-year-old third baseman recorded his first major league hit, an RBI double, in just his second game since the Boston Red Sox called him up from Double-A Portland. Moncada also held his own on defense in his first big league start, though, and his throwing arm left an impression on fellow infielder Xander Bogaerts during Boston’s blowout win. Check out what Bogaerts had to say about Moncada, and right-hander Rick Porcello’s excellent start, in the “Red Sox Final” video above. More Stories Source link
