Patriots Notes: Martellus Bennett Has Unique Relationship With Seahawks’ Defense

by Zack Cox on Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 6:51PM 1,344 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — An assortment of notes from a tight end-heavy Thursday at the New England Patriots’ facility: — Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski offered high praise for his Seattle Seahawks’ counterpart, Jimmy Graham. Graham is enjoying a resurgence this season after recovering from the torn patellar tendon that ended his lackluster 2015 campaign. He has 38 catches for 545 yards and three touchdowns in eight games after catching just two touchdown passes all of last season. “I have a super-high level of respect for Jimmy Graham, especially with what happened to him last year and the way he came back and bounced back,” said Gronkowski, who’s dealt with several serious injuries since

Classics: the best of Valencia

2013 – The first year Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) raced in the premier class was an incredible one. Arriving in Valencia as leader by 13 points, the rookie of the year had his chance at making history – with reigning Champion Jorge Lorenzo (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) the man left to stand in his way. The season was a rollercoaster of incredible races and shocking twists: Marquez was black flagged at Phillip Island, Rossi came back to Yamaha, both Pedrosa and Lorenzo broke collarbones, the latter twice - but it was Lorenzo left in the title fight by the last showdown of the year: the reigning Champion vs the rookie… Source link

Reggie Wayne Fires Back At Angry Patriots Fans After Tom Brady Opinion

Share this: Former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne ticked off a lot of Patriots fans this week when he said on “NFL Total Access” that New England quarterback Tom Brady shouldn’t win the MVP award this season because “he was caught cheating this year.” The anti-Brady-for-MVP argument can be rationalized, even if one doesn’t necessarily agree with the overall sentiment. Brady missed the first four games of the season because of his Deflategate suspension, so his cumulative statistics aren’t there just yet, though other metrics prove beyond a doubt he’s been the best quarterback — maybe the best player — in the league since returning in Week 5. What can’t be rationalized is Wayne’s total disregard for the facts. The whole Deflategate

Boston Red Sox Still Have Solid Core, Aren’t Going Anywhere In 2017

Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox’s 2016 season ended with a thud after they were swept by the Cleveland Indians in the American League Division Series, but they’re still going to be a team to look out for in 2017. Boston exceeded the expectations of many when they ran away with the AL East and finished with a 93-69 record, but it didn’t look like a one-year fluke. The Red Sox’s offense was legitimately dominant, and there’s no reason to believe they can’t come back and do it again next year. “I’ve not thought anything beyond (Monday’s) game,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said after Boston’s 4-3 loss to the Tribe. “And that’s the approach I take every day, through 162 games and through

Kallio on KTM

MK: “The first laps with the KTM MotoGP™ bike were about one year ago – so the project and the bike are quite new, still. The first laps I did with the bike were last November and after that we’ve been testing a lot – on many different racetracks. We have a lot of experience and information now, about the bike. If I think how I felt when I first tried the bike and how I feel now, I can really say that we did a really good job this year. The development we were looking for we could find. So I think the level of the bike is quite good at the moment, but of course we need to

Red Sox Notes: John Farrell Makes Some Roster Decisions Ahead Of Postseason

Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox officially are in postseason mode after Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, which means there are roster moves to make. Major League Baseball’s playoff teams have to shrink their rosters from 40 back to the usual 25 now that September is over, so Red Sox manager John Farrell has some work to do before his team heads to Cleveland on Thursday for Game 1 of their American League Division Series against the Indians. But luckily for the skipper, he’s already started. “There’s been three players that have been notified they will not be with us,” Farrell said prior to Sunday’s game. “(Starter) Henry Owens and (infielder) Deven Marrero will report to Fort Myers, (Fla.,

Tom Werner Echoes John Farrell: One Inning Can’t Take Away From Extraordinary Year

Tom Werner Echoes John Farrell: One Inning Can’t Take Away From Extraordinary Year

The Boston Red Sox didn’t beat the New York Yankees on Wednesday, but there still was plenty to celebrate afterward. A Mark Teixeira ninth-inning grand slam lifted the Yankees to a 5-3 walk-off win, but as Red Sox manager John Farrell told his players in the clubhouse after the loss, that doesn’t take away from their accomplishment of winning the American League East. And Red Sox chairman Tom Werner echoed those words to NESN’s Gary Striewski. “It’s always great to win in New York, and what a crazy last inning that was,” Werner said, as aired on “Red Sox Final.” “As John Farrell said, one inning can’t take away from what’s been a...
