Niners normal supervisor John Lynch’s day began with the rumor that he was able to commerce defensive lineman Solomon Thomas a mere two years after drafting him with one of many 4 picks the Bears gave up within the Mitch Trubisky commerce. By dinnertime within the Bay Area, he was telling reporters that the defensive lineman would “absolutely” play for the 49ers this 12 months. Apparently, so would kicker Robbie Gould. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated the crew wouldn't commerce the kicker regardless of his calls for to take action earlier this week. While Lynch stated he hoped to work out a long-term deal, Shanahan stated he understood Gould didn’t need to be there long-term. Still, he stated

LaVar Ball Rips ‘Short And Slow’ Steve Nash, Says He Can’t Help Lonzo Ball
LaVar Ball has ripped, trashed and claimed he could beat about every professional athlete you can think of, and a certain surefire NBA Hall of Famer was next on his list. Rumors swirled this week that LaVar Ball’s son, Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball, had started working out with former Laker Steve Nash, but LaVar Ball put an end to those rumors in an interview with ClutchPoints’ Ryan Ward. “I’d say no,” Ball said. “The reason I say no because if he was, my son would’ve said, ‘You know what I’m working out with Steve Nash’. What Steve Nash going to teach my boy? He’s short and slow, man. Come
NFL Rumors: LeGarrette Blount Has Offer From Patriots; Mutual Interest In Return
Share this: Even after signing running back Rex Burkhead to a hefty one-year contract, it seems there’s still a good chance the New England Patriots re-sign LeGarrette Blount. Blount has an “offer on the table” from the Patriots, CSNNE’s Mike Giardi reported Friday. Giardi reports there’s mutual interest in a return but money “matters.” NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport also reported earlier in the week both sides would prefer a return. Blount, 30, carried the ball 299 times for 1,161 yards with 18 touchdowns in 2016. He also added seven catches for 38 yards. It was by far his best NFL season. He did slow down at the end, averaging just 2.6 yards per carry in his final three regular-season games and 3.1 yards per carry in the
Aaron Rodgers Throws Shade At Georgia Dome Ahead Of NFC Championship Game
Share this: The Green Bay Packers will be up against a tough opponent in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game. The Packers will have to try and withstand NFL MVP candidate Matt Ryan and the Falcons’ high-flying offense, as well as a raucous Georgia Dome crowd. While there’s no denying the volume level at the Falcons’ home stadium, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers insinuated that the noise may not be coming all from the fans. Rodgers on Falcons stadium: it's really loud in there. Whether that's all natural or not remains to be seen. — Greg Bishop (@GregBishopSI) January 20, 2017 Pretty harsh words from Rodgers, but he certainly has the grounds for it. Prior to the 2015 season, Atlanta was fined $350,000 and stripped of a 2016 fifth-round
Why Tom Brady’s Mobility Has Been Essential To Patriots QB’s Success
Share this: Despite what his mom believes, Tom Brady isn’t exactly the fastest guy on the football field. In fact, the New England Patriots quarterback is pretty slow. But don’t be fooled by Brady’s poor straightaway speed — his feet still play a big role in his success. The 39-year-old QB had another monster day Sunday, throwing for 315 yards and four touchdown passes in a 41-25 demolition of the Buffalo Bills at New Era Field. Brady did all that while facing a strong Bills pass rush, and on several occasions, he showed impressive mobility to elude defenders and keep the play alive before finding his open receiver. Former Patriots tight end Jermaine Wiggins believes Brady’s elusiveness is a big reason why he’s putting
Red Sox Notes: Yoan Moncada Will Get Day Off To ‘Rebuild And Regroup’
Yoan Moncada’s long-awaited Boston Red Sox debut has gotten off to a slow start. The third baseman came into the second half of the Major League Baseball season as the league’s top prospect, so the expectations understandably were high when he made his first appearance on Sept. 2. Moncada was hot, too, going 4-for-10 with a double, an RBI and three runs in his first three games. Then the 21-year-old showed his biggest weakness: strikeouts. Moncada made the jump from Double-A to the bigs despite striking out in 30.9 percent of his at-bats in Portland. And after posting a golden sombrero in Tuesday’s 5-1 win over the San Diego Padres, Moncad... NESN.com
Celtics Show Resolve With Game 1 Comeback, But Slow Starts A Concern
There are two different ways to look at the Boston Celtics’ Game 1 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, and both have their merits. First, for the glass-half-full crowd: The Celtics played arguably their worst offensive first half of basketball, yet only lost by one point. After scoring just 34 first-half points and trailing by as many as 17 points, Boston displayed courage and resolve by actually taking the lead early in the fourth quarter and fighting until the very last second. “Hey, we ride this way, right?” head coach Brad Stevens said in a postgame interview aired on CSN New England. “We guard, we grind, we try to find a way. And to
