Patriots Could Go 19-0 In 2017, But Bill Belichick Won’t Address It
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots are victims of both their unprecedented success and lack of recent controversy. Without scandals or suspensions to beat like a dead horse (or Colt, maybe?), the topic has turned to whether the Patriots will lose a game during the upcoming season. It’s actually not an absurd conversation to have, as most teams try to improve upon their last season. For Patriots rivals like the Denver Broncos or New York Jets, that means making the playoffs or winning more games than they lost. The Patriots went 14-2 and won Super Bowl LI a season ago, and there’s really not a whole ways up to go from there. In completely unsurprising news, head coach Bill Belichick wasn’t down
The longest journeys in UEFA club football
A European record was set in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League group stage when Benfica beat Astana 2-0 at home and drew 2-2 in the return leg in Kazakhstan – the away sides making the longest journeys in the history of UEFA's club competitions, around 6,174km.That record could be broken this season, should Astana – taking on Legia in this week's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round – end up being paired this season with another Portuguese side, Marítimo, whose first challenge of the season is to eliminate Botev Plovdiv in the UEFA Europa League. Marítimo are based on the Island

As soon as he rode the Ducati GP16, the 32-year-old set top-five finishes as his target for this season, and his confidence in the package has already been borne out. Source link
NBA Free Agency Winners, Losers: Analyzing Best, Worst Moves Of Wild Summer
Share this: The NBA nearly has become a 12-month league, and it certainly has the most compelling offseason of any North American sports league. Free agency is a major reason for that, as the abundance of rumors, trades and surprising contracts create a wealth of discussion and debate. The 2017 offseason has been particularly crazy to this point, so let’s recap the most notable winners and losers of free agency so far. WINNERSLos Angeles LakersAfter having a horrible free agency last summer by spending more than $100 million combined on Luol Deng and Timofey Mozgov, the Lakers made much better moves this offseason under the new leadership of general manager Rob Pelinka and president Magic Johnson. The addition of guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (one year, $18
NBA Changes Timeout Rules For 2017-18 Season; Should Speed Up Games
NBA games are full of fast-paced, exciting action, but too often that fun stalls in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter when coaches take several timeouts to make sure they create quality looks at the basket. In an effort to speed up the game, the league approved some timeout changes that will go into effect next season. Check out the details of the changes in the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com
NBA Western Conference Power Rankings: Rockets Closing Gap With Warriors
Share this: The NBA’s Western Conference already was deeper and more talented than the Eastern Conference going into the offseason, and the gap between the two now is much wider after some wild trades and free-agent moves.
