Ex-Patriot Gives Inside Look At How Players Are Coached To Address Media
Share this: There’s a reason New England Patriots players don’t spend a lot of time complimenting their teammates, and it’s not for lack of admiration. Former Patriots defensive tackle Terrence Knighton found out the hard way not to heap too much praise on a fellow defensive lineman. “You get coached up every day on how to talk to the media,” Knighton said on “PFT Live.” “One time, I did an interview and I gave a guy credit. I thought I was doing the right thing by digging up my teammate and saying he was going to have a great year. We got in a team meeting and (head coach Bill Belichick) called me out, basically said to me, ‘You’re not an expert,
Aaron Hernandez’s Suicide Cast A Shadow Over Patriots’ White House Visit
Share this: WASHINGTON, D.C. — His full name was not uttered while the White House honored the New England Patriots, but it was clear Aaron Hernandez’s suicide loomed large over the ceremony. President Donald Trump’s speech honoring the Patriots was tame. Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft addressed the crowd but not the media. The Patriots didn’t send veteran players out to answer questions, only rookie wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell and second-year long snapper Joe Cardona, both of whom were asked by Patriots media relations to speak after the ceremony when Trump mentioned them by name. Neither played with Hernandez and Cardona would only refer to him as “Aaron” when asked how his teammates responded to the former Patriots tight end’s death. They were
Julian Edelman Enjoys Charles Barkley’s Hilarious LaVar Ball Trolling
Share this: The Charles Barkley-LaVar Ball feud is one of the newest and most entertaining in sports. Ball, father of UCLA star Lonzo Ball, has been a media sensation as he continues to hype his son’s talents, as well as his own. Barkley, who’s never shy about giving his two cents, made a mockery of LaVar’s bold claim that he could’ve beaten Michael Jordan 1-on-1 and challenged him to a matchup himself. The two have continued to trade verbal jabs, and their feud reached new levels of hilarity during CBS Sports’ NCAA Tournament broadcast Friday night. Prior to UCLA’s first-round matchup against Kent State, Barkley donned a Golden Flashes jersey as a direct shot at LaVar. You can hear Barkley explain his motive behind the
Woman Posts Warning On Social Media About Potential Car Theft Scam
There’s something eerie about walking by yourself to your car at night in a parking lot. So imagine if you found a random shirt wrapped meticulously around your windshield wipers once you got there. That’s what recently happened to Ashely Hardacre as she was leaving work at a mall in Flint, Mich., WPVI-TV reports. Hardacre reportedly said she noticed a flannel shirt on her wiper blade once she got in her car, but chose to not get out of her car and remove it once she saw a nearby car idling. She reportedly wrote about what happened in a Facebook post that has since been made private. “I had seen posts lately about people finding things... NESN.com
Jim Harbaugh Tweets Epic Insult At ‘Pete’ Finebaum Over SEC, Alternative Facts
Share this: If you don’t follow Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh on Twitter, you need to up your internet game. Harbaugh is as unintentionally funny as they come on social media, especially when he’s drinking milk at a steakhouse. But his best work yet might have come Thursday when he trolled SEC media giant Paul Finebaum — or should we say, “Pete.” We’re not sure what, if anything, led to this hilarious President Donald Trump-esque tweet Thursday, but there is a pretty lengthy list of grievances Harbaugh could have against “The Paul Finebaum Show” host. As SB Nation pointed out, Finebaum has gone after Harbaugh and Michigan multiple times, including for his salary. Biased media. Sad!
