MB: “That’s a tough one because there’s probably three outstanding candidates. The most obvious is Maverick Viñales, because he won the race, but that wasn’t a shock. The two things he could have caved into were overconfidence and pressure, but he’s a very level headed guy, cool and calm. And he dealt with the pressure impeccably. It shows how mentally clinical he can be. Johann Zarco as well was phenomenal, to lead on his MotoGP debut. Very rarely do we see rookies ride away from the best in the world! But I think for me, the man of the night was Aleix Espargaro. Most would agree the Aprilia isn’t on the level of the Honda, Ducati, Yamaha and Suzuki -

Colts Release Linebacker Who Unwittingly Started Deflategate With Interception
Share this: Deflategate truly is dead. We’ve already Tom Brady served his four-game suspension. The Indianapolis Colts fired general manager Ryan Grigson. The Patriots won Super Bowl LI, and Brady had his trophy ceremonies with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. And now, the man who caught the ball that started Deflategate is no longer a member of the Indianapolis Colts. The club announced Thursday the release of veteran linebacker D’Qwell Jackson. The 33-year-old linebacker picked off a Brady pass in the AFC Championship Game two years ago and upon returning to the Indianapolis sideline, the ball’s air pressure was measured and the results reported to the NFL. And we all know what happened from there. Thumbnail photo via Stew Milne/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
Colin Cowherd Among The Many Haters Tom Brady Silenced In Super Bowl Comeback
Share this: Even those who know better than to count out Tom Brady counted out Tom Brady on Sunday night. We can’t say we blame them: Brady’s New England Patriots trailed the Atlanta Falcons by 25 points in the second half of Super Bowl LI and faced a 19-point deficit entering the fourth quarter. What followed was one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, culminating in New England’s thrilling 34-28 overtime win. The dramatic seesaw exposed some unfortunate takes on Twitter, as the “experts” who prematurely wrote Brady and Co.’s eulogies were proven embarrassingly wrong. Among them, of course, was FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd, who did a complete reversal on his Jimmy Garoppolo stance as Brady floundered in the third quarter. I would hold
Lift off for Del Conca Gresini Moto3™
Fausto Gresini, Team Manager: "I would first like to thank once again Del Conca, which have embraced this ambitious project with a lot of enthusiasm. We can definitely claim to be a top team in the category and we believe we have the credentials to fight for the World title, as actually we did in the last two seasons. Di Giannantonio already achieved great results in 2016, so we expect a lot from him because he can now count on more experience. On the other hand, Martin accumulated a good experience in the past years and I like him a lot as a rider: he’s talented and I think he will give us great satisfaction. Moreover, the choice of Jorge
Patriots-Steelers Takeaways: Tom Brady, Chris Hogan Connects Deep In Win
Share this: With two weeks until the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, one debate surely will rage on through the hot-take radio waves: Is Tom Brady keying in on wide receivers Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan too much? Edelman and Hogan have made up 530 of Brady’s 671 yards and three of his five touchdowns through two playoff games. Brady’s completing 74.4 percent of his passes to Edelman and Hogan and just 51.2 percent to other receivers. The short answer to this inevitable debate, however, is no. Edelman and Hogan are playing like Brady’s best receivers, so there’s no logical reason not to target them. It’s also been a winning formula through two playoff games, and
Rins talks injury, rookie pressure – and his aims for 2017
Alex Rins: “It was quite hard. I had a whole month in the corset and trying to rest, because back injuries are something to take seriously. The crash was a strange one because I fell, and then a couple of laps later my teammate, Andrea Iannone, fell in exactly the same place. We went through the telemetry trying to determine the cause but we didn’t find anything. I took the same trajectory, the front wheel locked, and I lost it.” Source link
Usain Bolt hopes documentary will show people his ‘simple li…
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Usain Bolt is now a movie star. He refuses to say he’s an actor. Such a distinction is important for the Jamaican sprinting great and nine-time Olympic champion. Until his competitive career ends next year, Bolt will continue playing only one role: that of the world’s fastest man, someone who beat the odds to acquire immense fame and fortune on his way to becoming one of the biggest stars in global sport. As such, it’s not a made-for-Hollywood version of himself that takes center stage in the documentary “I Am Bolt,” which is being released Monday in theaters and on demand. As the title wants viewers to believe, the Bolt who is in the film is the very same
