Patriots’ Chris Hogan Inks 1-Day Contract With NLL’s Black Wolves

Share this: Did you know Chris Hogan used to play lacrosse? We’re guessing you do, as the anecdote frequently was mentioned throughout the New England Patriots’ 2016-17 campaign. The Pats wideout played collegiate lacrosse for three seasons at Penn State before transferring to Monmouth, where he’d trade his lacrosse stick for football pads. The transition to football ended up working out pretty well for Hogan, as he recently became a Super Bowl champion as a result of New England’s thrilling victory in Super Bowl LI. Hogan evidently still has the itch for lacrosse, though, as he officially returned to the sport Friday. Well, kind of.

Linda Holliday’s Swarovski Crystal Bill Belichick Hoodie Is Amazingly Extra

Share this: It’s going to be hard to miss Linda Holliday during Super Bowl LI. Keeping in form with the fashion choices of her boyfriend, New England head coach Bill Belichick, Holliday purchased a new hoodie ahead of the big game between the Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. However, it’s slightly less subtle than Belichick’s usual gray, blue and sleeveless attire. The designer, Leah Miller, has outfitted wives, girlfriends and family members across the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL in blinged-out jerseys, coats and other accessories, according to photos from her website. Plenty of Patriots supporters have purchased them, too, including Vince Wilfork’s wife (she owns quite a few), Jerod Mayo’s wife, Randy Moss’ former girlfriend and Deion Branch’s wife, sister and mother.
