Tom Brady isn’t the most evasive quarterback in the pocket, but the New England Patriots star did a little bobbing and weaving Friday afternoon. The 41-year-old quarterback, who is about to start his 19th NFL season with the Patriots, was asked for his opinion on Nike’s new ad starring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The ad, which aired Thursday during the Philadelphia Eagles’ game against the Atlanta Falcons, focuses on the idea that anyone can achieve anything they set their mind to and that you should always dream big no matter your circumstance. Kaepernick, of course, was the first player to take a knee during the national anthem to ... NESN.com

Doug Pederson Gets Snippy After Questions About Carson Wentz’s Health
Doug Pederson does not have a further update on Carson Wentz, and he’s pretty dang tired of getting asked for one. The Philadelphia Eagles have been without their franchise quarterback since Week 14 of last season with a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, and he has yet to get cleared for contact. Wentz thinks it’s possible he could be ready for the Eagles’ Week 1 opener against the Atlanta Falcons, but being able to get hit is an obvious next step. With that in mind, Pederson was asked about Wentz multiple times during his press conference Sunday. Upon hearing one of the questions, Pederson paused, let out a clearly unamused

Why Giancarlo Stanton Questions Legitimacy Of Some Home-Run Records
Giancarlo Stanton believes records are made to be broken, even tainted ones. The Miami Marlins slugger admitted Wednesday he doubts the legitimacy of the single-season home-run records Babe Ruth set in 1927, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa etched in 1998 and Barry Bonds ultimately surpassed in 2001. Stanton agrees with those who consider Ruth’s record tainted because it came before Major League Baseball had integrated itself and Sosa’s, McGwire’s and Bonds’ marks to be blemished since they happened during baseball’s “steroid era,” according to The Miami Herald’s Andre C. Fernandez. “Considering some things I do,” Stanton said. “But at ... NESN.com
NFL Rumors: Jay Cutler, Jets Have Mutual Interest In Free Agency
Share this: No, this isn’t a joke. The Chicago Bears released Jay Cutler on Thursday, the same day NFL free agency began, and fans and pundits immediately pointed toward the New York Jets as a potential destination for the polarizing quarterback. Well, it appears that chatter isn’t just internet speculation. Cutler and the Jets have expressed mutual interest, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. It’s unclear at this point whether the sides have been in touch, but New York’s level of interest likely boils down to whether the organization thinks he’ll have a positive impact off the field in addition to whatever he provides between the lines. “The Jets do have some interest in Jay Cutler. And I’m told he has interest in them
UFC Legend Georges St-Pierre Set To Return After Long, 4-Year Hiatus
Share this: The UFC that Georges St-Pierre returns to in 2017 isn’t the same place he left in 2013. The complexity of mixed martial arts as a sport, combining numerous fighting disciplines into one cohesive competition, evolves constantly. Now that St-Pierre is officially making his comeback, questions swirl as he attempts to re-establish himself as a force in today’s UFC universe, at the elite level he previously achieved. Can St-Pierre compete with the top fighters of today at 35 years old? Will he have any rust after four years away? One question that has been answered: his opponent. UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping will welcome GSP back to the Octagon later this year in what instantly becomes the biggest fight of 2017. If St-Pierre wins,
Paige VanZant Ready To Prove Doubters Wrong At UFC Fight Night Sacramento
Because a lot of people feel like Paige VanZant was foisted upon them — declared the one to watch and the “next big thing” in the strawweight division — almost instantaneously following her first UFC victory, the narratives that have surrounded the 22-year-old fighter as she’s prepared to hit the cage have frequently carried a great doubtful tone. While young talents frequently are put in a position to prove themselves against more established veterans, the questions directed at VanZant rarely have been about the caliber of opponent she’s about to face. Instead, they have often been questions seemingly designed to get the Team Alpha Male representa... NESN.com
