Share this: Is Brandon Marshall headed for the New England Patriots? Probably not, but he wouldn’t say no to the idea. The New York Jets wide receiver’s 11th season in the NFL is ending with a thud, as his team sits at 4-10 with just two games left to go this season. That means Marshall will retain his career-long postseason drought, which is the longest of any active player. For that reason, the New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta wrote that Marshall should join the Patriots should the Jets cut him to free up salary. The 32-year-old wideout didn’t hate the idea, but there is a catch. “That’s intriguing, but that wouldn’t be my team,” Marshall told Mehta. “I would be a rental player.” With 12,033

Bill Belichick Not Making Excuses For Stephen Gostkowski After Fifth Missed Kick
by Zack Cox on Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 11:27AM 2,891 After Arizona Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro missed a chip-shot field goal in Sunday night’s bizarre tie against the Seattle Seahawks, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians laid into him. “Make it,” Arians said in his postgame news conference. “He’s a professional. This ain’t high school. You get paid to make it.” Bill Belichick wasn’t nearly as blunt Monday morning when discussing his own kicker, Stephen Gostkowski, but the Ne... NESN.com
Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi’s Insane Catch Was Years In The Making
The legend of Andrew Benintendi is growing by the day. The 22-year-old outfielder has garnered a few local headlines with his play since getting promoted straight from Double-A Portland to the Boston Red Sox. But he burst into the national spotlight Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, making a ridiculous catch to rob Steven Souza Jr. of a sure home run in one of the best plays you’ll see this season. Benintendi’s natural position is center field, so his stellar snag in left field might come as a surprise to some. But apparently the Red Sox rookie had been preparing for that moment since he was a young tot. “I remember when I was ... NESN.com

Sandy Leon Tosses Perfect Strike With Mask, With Umpire Making Catch
Share this: Maybe the New England Patriots should look at bringing Sandy Leon on board while Tom Brady serves his four-game suspension. The Boston Red Sox catcher has been a revelation since returning from Pawtucket in early June, hitting .400 in 26 games, with two more hits Monday night against the Detroit Tigers. But Leon also showed off in another way Monday night. Mike Aviles popped up a Drew Pomeranz pitch behind home plate, and Leon went chasing after it toward the screen. After seeing he had a chance to make the catch, Leon tossed his mask back toward the batter’s box. In doing so, he threw a perfect strike, in stride, to home plate umpire Jim Reynolds, who showed off some good hands
Zdeno Chara Not Making Trip to Ottawa for Bruins’ Preseason Opener
After playing against their teammates Tuesday night in Providence, the Bruins will get to take on players from another organization on Wednesday when they open their preseason schedule with an exhibition game against the Senators. The Bruins will take 22 players on the trip to Ottawa. The final lineup is not set as they'll need to scratch two players from the traveling contingent with one extra forward and one extra defenseman coming along as insurance. Captain Zdeno Chara, who is still nursing a contusion on his left leg after being hit with a shot in practice on Monday, will not be making the trip to face his former team. He remains day to day and will get some extra rest to heal
