Share this: The New England Patriots won Super Bowl LI in historic fashion. After trailing the Atlanta Falcons 28-3, the Patriots pulled off the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, winning 34-28 in overtime. Quarterback Tom Brady also made history, becoming the only NFL player to ever win five Super Bowls. Several athletes took to Twitter after the game to show their respects to Brady and the Patriots. Former Boston Celtics great Paul Pierce, who ironically enough played his last ever game in Boston on Sunday, believes TB12 stands alone. Brady’s incredible second half didn’t go unnoticed by Celtics All-Star Isaiah Thomas, who has built a reputation for his late-game heroics this season. You know what time it is!!! ⌚️⌚️⌚️4th qtr killa!!! Damn that was amazing —

Jamie Collins ‘A Great Fit’ With Browns; Teammate Seth DeValve Explains Why
Share this: HOUSTON — The New England Patriots will play in Super Bowl LI on Sunday, and Jamie Collins will not. If Patriots fans were told that before the season, they’d probably believe it’s because Collins had suffered some significant injury. In reality, though, Collins shockingly was traded on Oct. 31 to the Cleveland Browns, who have welcomed the linebacker with open arms and given him a four-year, $40 contract extension. “I remember the first week he came to Cleveland, in practice, his position and my position go up against each other quite a bit,” Browns tight end Seth DeValve told NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava on Friday at Radio Row, “and I was like, wow, this guy’s good, he’s going to be a great
Liverpool Vs. Chelsea Preview: Premier League Rivals’ Clash Could Alter Title Ra…
Share this: The Premier League landscape has changed dramatically since Liverpool and Chelsea last met. Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-1 on Sept. 16, with the result fuelling the Reds’ early season hopes for success and sending the Blues toward their low point. But Chelsea twisted the plot with a surge to the top of the standings in the ensuing months, leaving Liverpool and other rivals in its wake. The Reds now are hoping to close its distance behind Chelsea, and the teams will face off Tuesday at Anfield. The game will represent a significant marker in the 2016-17 campaign. We’ll cover the Reds-Blues clash in full, so let’s preview it. The stakesLiverpool can’t afford to lose. It’s that simple. A Chelsea victory would open up a 13-point
What Makes Falcons’ Top-Ranked Offense So Dangerous? Big-Play Potential
by Zack Cox on Thu, Jan 26, 2017 at 10:59AM 1,345 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots have played in six Super Bowls under head coach Bill Belichick. They’ve never faced an offense as explosive as the one they’ll see in big game No. 7. The Patriots’ opponent in Super Bowl LI is an Atlanta Falcons team that led the NFL in scoring during the regular season, then hung 80 points on two quality opponents in the postseason. With an MVP favorite at quarterback and a slew of weapons around him, Atlanta has the ability to score from anywhere on the field, even against a defense as stout as the Patriots’. “They’re very explosive offensively,” Belichick said Thursday morning. “Every guy that
Steelers Reportedly Upset Over Antonio Brown Chasing Stats In Patriots Loss
Share this: For all of his incredible talent, Antonio Brown might be on thin ice with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After creating a distraction with his ill-conceived Facebook Live video, the Steelers wide receiver delivered a solid yet unspectacular performance against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, catching seven passes for 77 yards in Pittsburgh’s 36-17 loss. But more concerning to the Steelers, apparently, was one play early in Sunday’s game when running back DeAngelo Williams scored the team’s first touchdown. According to NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala, Brown was seen pouting after the score. “His team just scored a touchdown and he was upset that he was wide open and (quarterback Ben) Roethlisberger didn’t go to him,” Kinkhabwala, who was on Pittsburgh’s sideline during
Bruins Wrap: David Pastrnak’s Overtime Goal Seals Win Over Red Wings
Share this: The Boston Bruins ended a four-game skid by beating the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime Tuesday night at TD Garden. It was a much-needed victory for the Bruins, who entered the day out of a playoff spot after losing eight of their last 11 games. The B’s improve to 24-21-6 with the win, while the Red Wings fall to 20-19-9. Here’s how it all went down. FIRST STRIKEThe Bruins opened the scoring when defenseman Kevan Miller beat Red Wings goalie Jared Coreau with a snapshot from inside the right faceoff circle. It was Miller’s first goal of the season. He returned to the lineup Tuesday after a four-game absence with a concussion. Boston didn’t let up after scoring first. The B’s tallied the first
Joakim Noah Has Only Possible Reaction To Hilariously Bad Free Throw
Share this: Joakim Noah can do a lot of very difficult things on a basketball court and make them look easy, but when it comes to free-throw shooting, he makes the seemingly simple look near impossible. The New York Knicks center started his career as a relatively tremendous free-throw shooter, especially for a big guy, but he’s seen a sharp drop-off from the charity stripe over the last two seasons. After shooting no worse than 68 percent from the line in each of his first seven seasons, Noah dropped to 60 percent two seasons ago before falling under 50 percent last season and checking in at 41.7 percent this season. That disheartening figure includes an airball Tuesday night that might have been the worst
