Share this: UPDATE (6:30 p.m. ET): Rob Gronkowski has played his final snap of the 2016 season. The New England Patriots announced Saturday that they have placed the tight end on injured reserve and signed running back D.J. Foster, who was on the practice squad, to the active roster. ORIGINAL STORY: Rob Gronkowski’s 2016 season reportedly is over. The New England Patriots placed Gronkowski on injured reserve Saturday, a league source told ESPN’s Field Yates. That means the Patriots tight end won’t play again this season, even if New England reaches the Super Bowl. Each NFL team can place one player on short-term injured reserve/designated to return, but the Patriots used that slot on rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who came back off the IR last week after

Bruins Prospect Watch: Rob O’Gara Already Impressing In Boston’s System
Share this: Rob O’Gara’s in a unique situation. In a league where some players make their NHL debuts as teenagers, the Boston Bruins’ 2011 draft pick played four years at Yale University before making his B’s debut this season.

Greatest Thanksgiving NFL Games Of All Time Come Down To Three Classics
Share this: NFL games on Thanksgiving can be an even bigger feast than the food spread itself, allowing pigskin-mad fans to gorge themselves on three games. The Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys traditionally host Thanksgiving games, and the NFL then throws in a prime-time special, and while not every contest is a classic, it’s still better than listening to the annoying aunts, uncles and cousins you only see once per year. NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava went through the list of Thanksgiving NFL games and picked the three greatest ever played. There’s no arguing with this list, as these games were absolutely unforgettable.

Shirts Saying Kevin ‘Durant Is A B—-‘ Being Sold Outside TD Garden
Share this: Friday night will mark the first game Kevin Durant has played in Boston since signing with the Golden State Warriors. And if shirts being sold outside TD Garden are any indication, Celtics fans still are salty about Durant choosing the Warriors over the Celtics. The Celtics aggressively pursued the All-Star forward in free agency over the summer, but Durant opted to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder and move further west, and Celtics fans apparently still are holding a grudge. Fair or not, applause surely doesn’t await Durant and the rest of Warriors inside the TD Garden on Friday, which apparently doesn’t bother KD one bit.

Patriots Defense: Exactly How Poor Is It, And How Can It Be Fixed?
Share this: The New England Patriots traded away one of their most talented defenders in hopes it would fix their ailing defense. One game down, and the Patriots’ defense looks worse than ever. The Patriots’ loss in their first game of the post-Jamie Collins era brings to mind a scene from the Thanksgiving classic “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”. Del Griffith, played by John Candy, totals a car he rented, and Neil Page, played by Steve Martin, bursts out laughing, saying, “You finally did it to yourself!” One would imagine that’s how opposing coaches are looking at Belichick. Of course, Griffith actually used Page’s credit card to rent the car. So, there’s a good chance Belichick gets the last laugh, regardless. But how will he turn around his defense?
