Marcus Mariota is known as one of the kindest NFL players, but even the softspoken Tennesee Titans quarterback can fall into a foul mood. Mariota was noticeably irritated with the media following Tennessee’s 12-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14. The Titans signal-caller’s lack of enthusiasm very well could have been due to his performance, as he completed 16 of 31 pass attempts for only 159 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Here’s Mariota’s postgame press conference: While no one would fault Mariota for being upset after a loss, his attitude wasn’t going to fly with his mother. Mariota’s mom thought her son was “r...

Celtics Star Isaiah Thomas Calls Patriots ‘The Team You Want To Be’
Share this: The New England Patriots reached their ninth Super Bowl in franchise history after their 36-17 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Those nine Super Bowl appearances are an NFL record, and the Patriots’ greatness has other Boston sports franchises pulling for them to capture their fifth Lombardi Trophy, especially the Boston Celtics. Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas, who is a Seattle Seahawks fan and Tacoma, Wash. native, has split his fan hood between the Seahawks and Patriots since he met quarterback Tom Brady last summer while the two were recruiting then-free agent Kevin Durant to join the C’s. The two Boston sports stars now “frequently exchange text messages” and the C’s point guard told the media on Monday that the Patriots set
Patriots Vs. Steelers Notes: LeGarrette Blount On Pace For Record-Setting Season
by Zack Cox on Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 11:17PM 10,096 Share this: LeGarrette Blount closed out his forgettable Pittsburgh Steelers tenure by walking off the field in the middle of a game. Unfortunately for the Steelers, he stuck around until the final whistle Sunday. Playing at Heinz Field for the first time since the Steelers released him in 2014, Blount ran wild against his former team, racking a season-high 127 yards on 24 carries and scoring two of the New England Patriots’ four touchdowns in a 27-16 win. It was third 100-yard effort of the season for the 29-year-old running back, who already has set a new single-season career high for touchdowns with eight. If he keeps up his current pace, he’ll shatter his career
UEFA EURO reporter’s view: Hungary
Squad analysisHungary have changed little since the EURO qualifiers. Their strengths lie in the squad's unity and spirit – with no superstars around, competition for places is high and a sense of equality pervades the ranks. However, the lack of world-class talent is obviously a hindrance on the field, and though the side are consistently tight defensively, Hungary struggle to score goals and rely heavily on captain Balázs Dzsudzsák's set pieces.One to watchLászló Kleinheisler was plucked from the Hungarian third division last November to start the play-off first leg against Norway in Oslo, a game in which he struck a fairy-tale wi...
UEFA EURO reporter’s view: Northern Ireland
Squad analysisOff the pitch, Michael O'Neill has cultivated a special 'club spirit'. On it, he boasts experienced players in key areas, epitomised by captain Steven Davis and defenders Jonny Evans, Gareth McAuley and Craig Cathcart. Crucially, he is also getting the best out of the likes of Jamie Ward (Nottingham Forest), Conor McLaughlin (Fleetwood Town), Oliver Norwood (Reading) and Stuart Dallas (Leeds United). His only question mark? The left side of defence after losing Chris Brunt to a serious knee injury in February.One to watchThe influential Davis and forward Kyle Lafferty, who scored seven goals in qualifying, are the obvious an...
