There are multiple theories as to why quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains without an NFL job, but the latest rumor takes the (vegan) cake. Although many have pointed to last season’s national anthem protest (and the extra attention attached to Kaepernick for spearheading it) as the primary reason for his lengthy free agency process, Kaepernick’s diet also could be concerning teams, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco.

Even if a vegan diet doesn’t seem ideal for a professional athlete constantly faced with intense physical demands, it’s wild to envision teams putting so much stock into t... NESN.com

Senators’ Craig Anderson Denies Three Bruins Shot Attempts In Crazy Sequence
Share this: The Boston Bruins were hard-pressed for goals on Monday night against the Ottawa Senators. The Senators took full advantage of the B’s sluggish performance, which in turn caused for Boston to be on the defense for much of the night. The Bruins did have a tremendous chance to score in the first period, when Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Backes got shots on net in a wild sequence. However, Senators netminder Craig Anderson remarkably turned away all the shot attempts, continuing Boston’s offensive frustrations. To see the DCU Save of the Day, check out the video above.

It Sounds Like Russell Wilson Could Get Trolled Hard By Falcons’ DJ

Cowboys Clinch NFC East Title, Home Field In Playoffs After Giants Lose To Eagle…
Share this: The road to the Super Bowl for the NFC will go through AT&T Stadium. The Dallas Cowboys clinched the NFC East title and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs as a result of the New York Giants losing 24-19 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. It remains to be seen if the Cowboys will rest any of their important players with nothing left to clinch over the final two weeks of the regular season. Maybe backup quarterback Tony Romo will take some snaps to make sure he’s ready if needed in the playoffs. The loss drops the Giants to 10-5, but they still are the favorite for the first wild card (No. 5 seed) in the NFC playoffs. Besides, going on
Western Kentucky Gets Tricky, Runs Fake Kneel Down In Boca Raton Bowl
Share this: College football bowl season always is filled with trick plays and wild endings. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers delivered an innovative play call Tuesday in the Boca Raton Bowl against Memphis. The Hilltoppers were up by 11 with under a minute to play in the first half, so they lined up to take a knee and head to the locker room. At least that’s what Memphis thought. Western Kentucky snapped the ball to quarterback Mike White, who handed it off running back Anthony Wales. Wales waited for a second, playing out the fake before taking off over the left side for a 53-yard gain. Pretty nifty play call by coordinator Bryan Ellis. The ‘Toppers won 51-31.

Cubs Pull Off Incredible Comeback, Clinch NLCS Berth With Win Vs. Giants
Share this: There was some even-year magic Tuesday night at AT&T Stadium, but not for the San Francisco Giants. The Chicago Cubs, just three outs from being forced to home for a decisive Game 5 in their National League Division Series against the Giants, mounted an incredible four-run rally in the top of the ninth to win the series with a 6-5 victory in Game 4. That means Chicago’s heading to the NL Championship Series, where it’ll face the winner of Thursday’s Game 5 between the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers. The top of the ninth was a wild roller coaster. Kris Bryant led off the inning with a single, and he later scored on a Ben Zobrist RBI double. Willson Contreras then singled in
