Share this: Almost isn’t good enough for Jarvis Landry. The Dolphins staged a huge comeback Sunday against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium, but New England still managed to squeak out a 31-24 win when Duron Harmon intercepted a pass from Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the closing moments. The loss pushed Miami’s record to 0-2, and Landry was among those unhappy about the Dolphins’ inability to rally past the Pats. “I hate to say it, but we can’t be an almost team,” The Dolphins wide receiver said after Sunday’s game, according to the Miami Herald. “We can’t be a team, ‘We almost won. Let’s build off this.’ That (expletive) is over with. Got to find ways to win the game.” Landry did his part,

Red Sox’s Struggles In One-Run Games A Cause For Concern, But Not Panic
Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox have a very good team this season, as their perch atop the American League East can attest. But Boston’s 2016 squad appears to have an Achilles’ heel, and that weakness was exposed again Wednesday night. Rick Porcello and the Red Sox lost a 1-0 pitchers’ duel to Kevin Gausman and the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, losing a three-game series that started with a convincing 12-2 win. Indeed, as much as Boston is capable of blowout wins, it’s also prone to tight losses. The Sox now have lost seven consecutive one-run games dating to Aug. 24 and are 16-22 in one-run games this season, the fourth-lowest winning percentage in such games in the entire AL. So, why can’t the Red Sox
NFL’s Response To Cam Newton Taking Massive Blow To Head Is Dumbfounding
Share this: Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton took several punishing hits in his team’s 21-20 loss to the Denver Broncos in Thursday night’s NFL season opener. The most dangerous hit came on Carolina’s final drive when Newton was marching the team into position for a potential game-winning field goal. Newton took a ferocious helmet-to-helmet hit that was penalized, although the penalty was cancelled out by an intentional grounding infraction. [embedded content] Sadly and predictably, the league dropped the ball when it came to evaluating Newton for a possible concussion. Even though this hit was terrifying, plus the fact Newton suffered other hits to the head earlier in the game, medical staff didn’t believe there were “indications of a concussion,” which is mind-boggling. “There was communication between medical personnel on
Patriots’ Tom Brady Tribute Ensures QB’s Presence Will Be Felt During Suspension
Share this: Tom Brady isn’t allowed to show his face at Gillette Stadium over the next four weeks, but he’ll certainly be there in spirit. The New England Patriots made sure of that immediately. Early Sunday morning, just hours after Brady’s four-game suspension officially began Saturday afternoon, the team directed everyone’s attention to a certain stadium alteration: There’s no text description accompanying this tweet, but in this case, pictures say a thousand words. The Patriots plastered giant images of their All-Pro quarterback on both sides of the stadium’s lighthouse, while also dislpaying Brady’s number at the top of the massive structure. It’s yet another gesture of New England’s ongoing support for Brady during the Deflategate saga; the team’s official Twitter handle also is a photo of Brady’s

John Farrell Holds Team Meeting After Red Sox’s Frustrating Loss To Rays
It appears John Farrell has seen enough. The Boston Red Sox manager witnessed his team suffer an ugly 13-7 loss Monday night to a Tampa Bay Rays team that hadn’t won a game in its previous 11 tries. Starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez gave up nine runs in just 2 2/3 innings, the Red Sox didn’t plate a run until the fourth and Boston’s bullpen allowed four runs. Immediately after that debacle at Tropicana Field, Farrell called his team together for a meeting and delivered a simple message. “The bottom line is, (Rodriguez) is capable of more. We’re capable of more,” the Red Sox manager told reporters after the game, as aired on NESN’s...
