Share this: Kevin Durant revealed some interesting information in a recent Rolling Stone interview, but he’s getting more attention for the magazine’s cover instead. The Golden State Warriors forward said, among other things, that he and former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook were never more than “work friends” and that he wouldn’t have signed with the Warriors as a free agent if they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers this past NBA Finals. But it was KD’s outfit that had the Internet buzzing. Twitter had an absolute field day with the photo. Durant looks like the uncle that hangs around the courts, challenges kids to pick up games and talks of how he could have went pro https://t.co/Kr0wmiLiwv — Shawn Tracey (@shawntracey26) October 19, 2016 We’re not sure Uncle

Patriots Pick Six: Jamie Collins, Malcolm Butler Star Vs. Texans In Win
FOXBORO, Mass. — It turns out the New England Patriots were just fine without Jimmy Garoppolo. Oh, and Tom Brady, Dont’a Hightower, Dion Lewis, Sebastian Vollmer and a good 80 percent of Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots embarrassed the Houston Texans 27-0 with rookie Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. The nicest thing one could say about the Texans’ offense is they crossed the 50-yard line. And it took them until late in the third quarter to do so. This Patriots team could be historically good when Brady returns. Here are the Patriots’ six stars of the game. LB JAMIE COLLINSCollins had a huge game on a big, primetime... NESN.com
Braves Prospect Dansby Swanson’s First Career Homer Stays Inside The Park
Share this: Dansby Swanson’s first major league home run was anything but conventional. The Atlanta Braves rookie shortstop made his Major League Baseball debut on Aug. 17, and his first round-tripper came Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. But Swanson’s home run never left the yard. Instead, Swanson sent a ball to deep center field, where it took a big bounce off the wall. The speedy 22-year-old was able to stretch it into an inside-the-park home run by running the bases in 14.97 seconds. Swanson was the Arizona Diamondbacks’ No. 1 pick out of Vanderbilt in the 2015 draft. He was one of the players the Braves got in return for pitcher Shelby Miller. Despite Swanson’s run, the Braves lost 9-7 to the Nats. Thumbnail photo via Brad

Peyton Manning Throws Pick Six To Seal Broncos’ Fate Vs. Bengals (GIF)
A quarterback threw a crucial interception in Monday night’s game, but it wasn’t Andy Dalton. With the Denver Broncos trailing by two points late in the fourth quarter, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick intercepted Peyton Manning’s pass intended for Demaryius Thomas and scampered 30 yards into the end zone for a back-breaking touchdown. Manning’s interception — the third of four picks he threw in the game — couldn’t have come at a worse time for Denver, as it extended Cincinnati’s lead to nine points with less than three minutes remaining. Kirkpatrick intercepted Manning again with under two minutes to play, sealing the Bengals’ 37-28 win and guaranteeing them a playoff spot. The Broncos’ loss gave the

2011 NFL Mock Draft: Is Robert Quinn the Best Pick for the Cleveland Browns?
2011 NFL Mock Draft Splits Experts Between Robert Quinn and Julio Jones for Cleveland Browns at No. 6I have been pegging the Browns in a "can't lose" situation with this pick for a while now, but that might be changing in some eyes.Their major need is a wide receiver, but they also have needs for a defensive transition that will ultimately make this team better in a 4-3.They have the opportunity to add one of the best players in this draft, LSU's Patrick Peterson, but they added a cornerback in the first round last season.I think Haden and Peterson would be a terrific combination, but I can see the hesitation in adding top 10 corners in back-to-back seasons.Mel Kiper Jr.:
