Share this: The New York Giants will have to compete in a tough division without one of their best backfield options. Giants running back Shane Vereen has a triceps injury that will require season-ending surgery, the team announced Monday. Vereen suffered the injury during the team’s Week 3 loss to the Washington Redskins but played the entire game. Vereen’s injury is a tough blow for New York, which already was without starting running back Rashad Jennings in Sunday’s loss to the Washington Redskins. Vereen leads the team with 147 rushing yards and a touchdown and also is tied for fourth on the Giants with eight receptions, trailing only wideouts Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard and Victory Cruz. He had been a legitimate pass-catching option out

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
Bill Belichick Not On Twitter, But Sean Payton’s Support ‘Means A Lot’
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Sean Payton earned the admiration of New England Patriots fans when he tweeted out a show of support to Tom Brady on Sunday. The New Orleans Saints head coach manually retweeted a picture sent out by the Patriots of a Brady banner, and the quarterback’s No. 12, hanging on the Gillette Stadium lighthouse. “There aren’t a lot of people that can understand what Tom’s going through,” Payton said when asked about the gesture Thursday on ESPN’s “Mike and Mike” radio show. “I’m one of them.” Payton was suspended for an entire season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in the Saints’ bounty scandal. Brady is suspended for the first four weeks of the 2016 NFL season after
Did Tom Brady Stage Silent Protest Against NFL By Removing Helmet Decal?
Share this: Unless there was a sticker malfunction on Tom Brady’s helmet — maybe that’s what the scissors were for? — it appears TB12 staged a silent protest against the NFL prior to his four-game Deflategate suspension. As Twitter user @Pennzoil90 pointed out in a tweet at 98.5 The Sports Hub, it appears the NFL shield decal was missing from the Patriots quarterback’s helmet Thursday night during New England’s preseason game against the New York Giants. And this doesn’t appear to be a one time thing, either. If you look at this photo of Brady holding his helmet prior to New England’s third preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, the spot where the decal usually is was empty. Coincidence? Probably not. Thumbnail photo via Noah K. Murray/USA TODAY
Tom Brady, Odell Beckham Jr. Swap Jerseys After Patriots-Giants Preseason Game
by Zack Cox on Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 11:24PM 2,220 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Two of the NFL’s biggest stars shared a nice moment after Thursday’s preseason finale at MetLife Stadium. Following the New York Giants’ 17-9 win over the New England Patriots, Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady swapped autographed jerseys. The postgame swap was nearly a year in the making, according to Brady. “I promised him a jersey last year, and I forgot,” Bra... NESN.com
NFL Team Officials Liken Colin Kaepernick To Traitor: ‘F–k That Guy’
Share this: Remember Ray Rice, Michael Vick, Aaron Hernandez, Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy and the countless other NFL players linked to heinous crimes? Well, apparently Colin Kaepernick is worse than all of them, if you ask some NFL front office executives. The Internet takes on Kaepernick not standing for the national anthem are hotter than Phoenix in July, and apparently a few executives have pretty similar feelings of outrage toward the San Francisco 49ers quarterback. Bleacher Report NFL writer Mike Freeman asked numerous executives about their thoughts on Kaepernick’s decision not to stand during the anthem as a form of protest against the recent killings of African Americans by police, and their distaste for Kaepernick was pretty glaring. “I don’t want him anywhere near my team,” an executive
