Share this: Tom Brady was a very skilled catcher in high school, and probably could have taken his baseball career to the professional level. The only problem was inquiring MLB teams knew football was his priority. But one club tried to change his mind. The Montreal Expos were enthralled by Brady’s makeup, and believed he possessed everything it took to be a successful big leaguer. “(Brady) had a high ceiling,” Kevin Malone, the Expos’ general manager at the time, told the Monday Morning Quarterback. “He was a left-handed, power-hitting catcher who was cerebral. He had arm strength. He had everything that would warrant him being projected as a major league all-star. He had everything.” Although they knew it was a risk, Malone and the

by Zack Cox on Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 2:27PM 1,024 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — A throng of reporters and cameras typically surrounds Martellus Bennett’s locker each Thursday, and the eccentric New England Patriots tight end rarely disappoints. Bennett’s latest Thursday media session included lengthy odes to two things that have nothing to do with football: gold and bacon. “I like gold,” Bennett said. “I tried to get paid in gold one year, but they told me, ‘No.’ I’ll take a check, too, though. As long as it cashes. I don’t want no checks that bounce. All money’s good money.” That response came after Bennett said he tries to “strike gold” whenever he’s out on the field.

But that hasn’t prevented speculation of him returning to the ring for a chance to end his career with an unblemished 50-0 record. Fuel was added to that fire when Mayweather was spotted ringside during Manny Pacquiao’s recent bout with Jessie Vargas, a fight Pacquiao won convincingly. But Mayweather diffused those rumors Wednesday in Brooklyn by saying he, unlike some boxers, has no reason to come out of retirement. “A lot of fighters in the sport of boxing may want to retire, but they have to fight because they have to,” Mayweather said to USA TODAY’s Mike Coppinger. “I
