Share this: If you have the belief that professional athletes should take less money to stay with your favorite team, you probably should take a look at Martellus Bennett’s Twitter. Bennett could be in for a huge raise in free agency, as he’s coming off a Super Bowl-winning campaign with the Patriots. A report surfaced Tuesday night that there’s a “real possibility” his next contract won’t be with New England, although Bennett played down the rumor and said he’s “just chilling.” One day after that news came out, a Twitter user offered a take on Bennett’s contract situation, and the tight end had a response for the ages. Here’s how it all began: Patriots hand Martelius Bennett a Super Bowl. Bennett age 30 Gronk age 27.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Responds To Conor McGregor’s Money Demands With Offer
Share this: Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor both have expressed interest in throwing down under the right circumstances, but it sounds like the sides are world’s apart when it comes to financial matters. McGregor previously said he’d want $100 million to fight Mayweather, who supposedly is retired after running his professional boxing record to 49-0. Mayweather doesn’t see that demand as being reasonable, though, and he extended a counteroffer to the UFC champion Wednesday while appearing on ESPN’s “First Take.” “We tried to make the Conor McGregor fight,” Mayweather said. “They know what my number is. My number is a guaranteed $100 million. That was my number. “We are willing to give him $15 million and then we can talk about splitting the
Kevin Durant Reveals His Favorite Teammate Ever And It Might Surprise You
Share this: Kendrick Perkins is a popular guy. Not only was Perkins beloved during his seven-plus seasons with the Boston Celtics. But he also formed such a good friendship with Kevin Durant during their time together with the Oklahoma City Thunder that Durant considers Perkins to be his favorite teammate ever. “He would call me after every game, and we’d be on the phone until probably 2 o’clock in the morning. And it’d be a bunch of nothing he’ll be talking to me about,” Durant said during a recent interview with Bill Simmons. “And it was just like, man, that’s my big brother right there. He’s going through something, and he’s calling me. So, I miss those convos.” The Thunder traded Perkins to the
Chris Long: ‘I Support My Peers In Exercising Their Right To Protest’
Share this: New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty and tight end Martellus Bennett made a statement following the national anthem Sunday night by raising their fists following its conclusion. The silent protest comes on the heels of controversy sparked by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision not to stand for the national anthem before games. Patriots defensive end Chris Long gave a long, thoughtful answer to a question on the topic Tuesday on ESPN Radio’s “Rusillo and Kanell” that’s worth reading or hearing. Here’s the full quote. “I’ve had a lot of thoughts about it. It’s hard, because you want to talk to the media. You want to say something about it, but as you know with the media, it’s a long conversation, and if
Atlético v Bayern: key talking points
Augusto the greatSince joining Atlético in January, Argentinian international Augusto Fernández has made a name for himself as a tough-tackling, no-nonsense midfielder alongside skipper Gabi. If it took him a few games to develop an understanding with his team-mates, he has now become a fixture in the middle of the park – and this was his best display yet for the Rojiblancos.The 30-year-old covered every blade of grass, charging down shots, breaking up play and getting in the right place at the right time. His efforts helped subdue an opposition midfield containing Arturo Vidal, Xabi Alonso and Thiago Alcántara – no mean feat. It was a world-class per...
Report: Broncos, 49ers Don’t Have Deal For Colin Kaepernick; Sides Still Talking
It looks as though the NFL rumor mill got a little ahead of itself on a potential Colin Kaepernick trade. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that the San Francisco 49ers had agreed in principle to trade the quarterback to the Denver Broncos, but ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported that’s not entirely true. A source told Florio on Sunday that talk of a deal being close was overstated because “someone wanted it out there.” The original report stated the Broncos and Kaepernick were trying to work out a way to reduce the signal-caller’s $ 11.9 million base salary, which became guaranteed Friday, and that was the only thing holding the dea...
