With the NFL playoffs fast approaching, Tom Brady is a little banged up. But don’t worry, New England Patriots fans: It’s nothing to worry about — yet. Brady was listed as “questionable” for his team’s Week 12 game against the New York Jets with a knee injury and an illness. The Patriots quarterback toughed it out, however, leading New England to a 27-13 victory, despite apparently suffering a thumb injury during the first half. Monday night, Brady appeared on Westwood One Radio for his weekly — and always cringe-worthy — interview with Jim Gray, who asked the 41-year-old about his nagging ailments. “I am certainly ...

Celtics Notes: Boston Gets Off To Good Start Following All-Star Break
Time can heal, and it appears to have done that for the Boston Celtics. At least it did on Friday night. The Celtics used a big second quarter and a fourth-quarter surge to create some separation between themselves and the Detroit Pistons, ultimately winning Friday’s game at Little Caesars Arena 110-98. With the win, Boston snapped its three-game losing streak that they took into the All-Star break, and the victory certainly felt like a refreshing change of pace after the ugly skid. But in many ways, Friday’s win certainly felt like a proverbial turning of the page given the things that went right that previously had been going wro... NESN.com
Winter Olympics 2018: North Korea Might Have World’s Best Cheerleaders
Win or lose, the North Korean cheerleaders are at the 2018 Winter Olympics to do two things: be positive and be awesome. Dubbed the “Army of Beauties,” the North Korean cheerleaders have made quite an impression in Pyeongchang, South Korea. And that was especially true during the Korean women’s hockey team’s 8-0 loss to Switzerland Saturday night. Despite the lopsided score, the cheerleaders never stopped showing their support. Check this out: Wow. Here’s some fantastic context, courtesy of Bleacher Report’s Joon Lee: At the end of the day, the score didn’t matter, as the game was a truly historic event. The Kor... NESN.com
Michigan Band Plays ‘Jurrasic Park’ Theme Song With T-Rex Backup Dancers
Things got a little prehistoric at Michigan Stadium on Saturday. During Michigan’s game against Cincinnati on Saturday, the Wolverine marching band played a rendition of one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. We’re talking, of course, about the “Jurassic Park” theme song. And, to top it all off, the performance included a slew of back up dancers wearing T-Rex costumes, because of course. These things were great, but where was the love for the Velociraptor? It was a pretty good day for Michigan fans at the Big House, as the Wolverines dino-stomped the Bearcats by a score of 36-14. The school’s marching band wi... NESN.com
John Farrell Applauds Red Sox’s Ability To Execute Little Things Vs. White Sox
The Boston Red Sox have been on a roll lately, and a lot of that has to do with their attention to detail.

While the Sox launched two home runs in the win, manager John Farrell lauded their ability to execute the little things.

Red Sox’s Drew Pomeranz Finding Success With More Assertive Approach
Share this: Drew Pomeranz has been a pleasant surprise for the Boston Red Sox this season. Entering Friday, the left-hander has an 8-4 record as well as a respectable 3.64 ERA. Pomeranz certainly has improved since the Red Sox acquired him at the trade deadline last year, and manager John Farrell credits that to a number of things. Farrell believes Pomeranz has been more assertive in the strike zone, and has found success by getting ahead in the count. Not only that, but the addition of a cutter to his repertoire has made his fastball and nasty curveball even more effective. To hear a full breakdown of the changes Pomeranz has made, check out the video above from “Red Sox Gameday Live,” presented by DCU. Thumbnail
