Let’s go back to late Monday evening, as Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final was up against a second consecutive Game 7 in the NBA’s conference finals, vying for sports fans’ attention.

That’s when Chris Long decided to have a little fun at hockey’s expense.

The Eagles defensive lineman’s hot take: Hockey players take too many breaks. 鈥?Shift changes constantly, as opposed to, say, basketball players like LeBron James who went the full 48 minutes in the Cavs’ Game 7 the night before. I’d rather watch the grinders, Long concluded.

Remember, CBS was criticized for years by those suffering real or imagined Simms Fatigue.The network misfired with failed former referee Mike Carey, who reminded nobody of Fox rules analyst Mike Pereira. CBS Sports boss Sean McManus rolled the dice with Romo. It paid off big time. The Romo/Nantz team’s success is already changing the sports TV game.

The president vilified Kaepernick on social media and at rallies for kneeling during the national anthem as a form of social protest while with the 49ers, triggering other athletes to do the same. He remains an unsigned free agent and has filed a grievance against the NFL, claiming he has been blackballed by the league.

According to People.com, Scott says details of the meetings will be ironed out next week, but two multiracial gatherings 鈥?one of athletes to follow a summit of musicians 鈥?are expected to take place in the early summer at the White House with President Trump in attendance.

We don’t want to sanitize it. I want people from the left to attend. I want it to get heated, but I want it to be respectful,Scott said. I want Babe Ruth Jersey them to see and know the Donald Trump I know and they will say, ‘This guy isn’t who I’ve been lead to believe he is.’

Gronkowski will be at OTAs, at some point

Leave a reply

With Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, it’s fairly clear that something is bothering him. It’s still not clear what it is, or how it will affect his preparations for 2018.

With Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, there’s less mystery. And while he may not be present for Organized Team Activities as of Monday, a source with knowledge of the situation says that Gronkowski will be present at some point.

Whether he’s sufficiently skilled to overcome that isn’t the issue. His teammates (especially the new ones) need to commence the process of working with him. And the coaching staff will surely be less stressed about that adjustment if/when Brady is there.

Yes, the workouts are voluntary. But quarterbacks occupy a different position as a practical matter, making them part player, part coach. If the quarterback isn’t all in, it becomes harder to get the most out of the team.

But this blurb is about Gronkowski. He’ll be there at some point, regardless of whether Brady joins him.

Parry made one tackle in one game for the Saints last season and then landed on injured reserve with an ankle issue in late September. He served a four-game suspension while he was on I.R. as a result of an arrest in Arizona last February that led to guilty pleas on charges of attempted unlawful means of transportation and disorderly conduct.

Parry was a fifth-round pick of the Colts in 2015 and had 78 tackles and four sacks while starting all 32 games he played for the Colts. He’ll try to earn a spot behind Sheldon Richardson and Linval Joseph on the interior of the defensive line with the Vikings.

Being Big J journalists, Barstool Big Cat and PFT Commenter of the wildly-popular Pardon My Take podcast made good on their promise to show up for a spot on Wednesday morning’s PFT Live. Even though they seriously considered not showing up.

When they showed up, we discussed various things. The second part of the video with the things we discussed (which actually is the first part of their appearance on the show) is attached to this blurb.ravens_107

Report: Cardinals trading 2020 sixth-rounder for Jamar Taylor Jersey

Leave a reply

Cornerback Jamar Taylor is on his way to the Cardinals and it will be some time before the Browns will be able to make use of the compensation coming back their way.
Women's Rodney Hood Swingman Maroon Nike Jersey: NBA Cleveland Cavaliers #1 Icon Edition
Kent Somers of AZCentral.com reports that the Cardinals are sending a 2020 sixth-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for Taylor.

Taylor was set to make base salaries of $4.25 million in 2018 and $4.075 million in 2019, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Taylor agreed to restructure his contract in order to facilitate the move from Cleveland Womens Travis Swanson Jersey to Arizona. The new numbers aren’t known at this time.

Authentic Mens Travis Sanheim Jersey Rapoport also reports that the deal takes the Cardinals out of the running for free agent Bashaud Breeland. Breeland visited on Thursday, but may now be on track for a deal with the Colts after meeting with Indianapolis on Wednesday.

But Reaves has found other ways to contribute. He has skated well, he’s been active on the forecheck. As Gallant said, he makes people make quick plays against him.

New England made Dawson the 56th overall pick when they selected him in the second round last month. He played primarily in the slot at Florida last season and could challenge for playing time there early in his time with the Patriots if the learning experience continues to go well.

Going into the contest, Curry was struggling with the long ball, with 2-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc. He started off the game 1-of-6 from 3, but ended the evening 13-of-23 from the field and 5-of-12 on 3-pointers.

He said the emotions he played with had nothing to do with how much his play has been criticized recently.

A lot of it was just [me] talking to myself, almost like you’ve got to be your biggest fan sometimes, he said. No matter what questions I was being asked over the first two games or what the expectations was, I had the highest expectations for myself. And you’ve just got to — find whatever you want to get going. I mean, obviously, it felt good, and you want to use that energy to show your teammates that you’re here, you’re with them, get the crowd into it. But it’s one game, and you’ve got to have that same type of energy and intentions and focus the next game and the right approach. So, I did my job tonight. I’ve got to do it again.

Curry, Durant and Klay Thompson (13) combined for 73 points. The Warriors are 4-0 this postseason when the trio combine for 70 or more. Curry extended his NBA-record streak of playoff games with a made 3-pointer to 82 games.

Russell Shepard Jersey signing with Giants

Wide receiver Russell Shepard is signing with the Giants, he announced in an Instagram post Monday night. It reunites him with General Manager Dave Gettleman.
Adidas Victor Mete Men's Premier Salute to Service Jersey - NHL Montreal Canadiens #53 Green
Authentic Patrick Wiercioch Jersey The Panthers released Shepard last week after he declined a pay cut, and he had taken a free agent visit to Buffalo.

Shepard signed a three-year, $10 million deal with the Panthers in the 2017 offseason while Gettleman was their Lukas Sedlak Youth jersey G.M. He made only 17 catches for 202 yards and a touchdown last season.
Limited Yasmani Grandal Jersey
Shepard spent the first four years of his career with Tampa Bay. In 72 career games, Shepard has 47 catches for 634 yards and four touchdowns.

It was Chicago’s ninth comeback in 14 victories.

We fight until the end, Sanchez said. The past is in the past. If we don’t get the result, we come back and do our best.

Mark Trumbo went 4 for 4 with two doubles for Baltimore, which won 3-2 on Monday night in the series opener between two of the AL’s worst teams.

The last-place Orioles wasted a gem by Gausman, who matched a career high with 10 strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander allowed nine hits and walked one.

He was solid, manager Buck Showalter said. I mean, we’re just not scoring runs. That’s pretty much the story.

Mychal Givens (0-1) replaced Gausman and got the last two outs in the seventh. But he ran into trouble in the eighth.

Daniel Palka led off with a triple that bounced off the glove of Trumbo in the right-field corner. Castillo followed with a run-scoring single.

After Leury Garcia struck out, Jose Rondon singled to put runners on first and third. Givens then walked light-hitting Adam Engel to load the bases.

But here’s the thing, NFL owners: He won’t. If you don’t change the rule, the President will periodically badger you for not changing it. And if you change the rule, the President will periodically rub your nose in the fact that you did.

Andrew Luck Jersey still not throwing football in rehab

Brandon Belt Womens Jersey Andrew Luck will throw a football again someday, but that day has still not yet come.
NFL Nike Women's Jermaine Gresham Red Home Limited Jersey - #84 Arizona Cardinals Vapor Untouchable
The Indianapolis Colts quarterback still hasn’t thrown the football as part of his rehab from shoulder surgery, according to head coach Frank Reich.

In other words, more of the same. The Colts have assured everyone that their quarterback is progressing well and everything is on schedule, and that they expect him to play this year.
Jeff Zatkoff Jersey
According to Elias Sports Bureau, the Celtics are the first team in NBA history to reach the conference finals in back-to-back seasons, while returning only four players from one year to the next (Smart, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and Terry Rozier). That are advancing to the Eastern Conference finals in consecutive seasons for the first time since doing so five straight times from 1984 to 1988.

In his final two seasons at Virginia Tech, Edmunds posted more than 100 tackles, 10 sacks, five pass breakups, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

The coach also led the Los Angeles Rams in two different stints, from 1973-1977 and 1992-1994, compiling a 69-48 record combined between those two spans. Knox posted five straight seasons with double-digit wins in his first stint before leaving for Buffalo in 1978, where he coached the Bills through 1982. Knox returned to Carl Nassib Jersey a much different Rams franchise in 1992, failing to win more than six games in a season before he was fired in January 1995.

We are saddened by the loss of Chuck Knox, a legendary coach and member of the Los Angeles Rams family, the team said in a statement. He established a winning culture and a legacy that will never be forgotten, being the only coach to lead the Rams to five consecutive double-digit-win seasons. The memories and accomplishments that Coach Knox left behind will continue to inspire us and Rams fans. We hold his family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

9 Observations from Barkley, Lauletta’s first Giants practice

However, Shurmur took issue with the fact that Pro Bowl safety Landon Collins revealed during an interview on WFAN Radio that Flowers has stayed away because he is upset that the Giants signed veteran left tackle Nate Solder as a free agent.

That’s not for Landon to talk about, Shurmur said. The important thing is, let’s let Ereck talk for Ereck, when he gets here. We’ll worry about that later. I don’t think our players should be talking about another player’s situation.

He’s been playing left tackle for a long time. He’s been playing it in college, and I remember we had a predraft visit with him, I met him at the Combine a few years ago. Good, solid left tackle.

So, the footwork is going to be different, Hunter added. Everything is going to be just the opposite and he’s a good enough athlete that he’s going to be able to adjust to all of that, but it’s like anything.

But was he disappointed at the time?

Oh, definitely, he said before the Yankees face Oakland at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.

For a baseball guy, I spent five years with the organization. I knew a lot of these kids. I was hoping for at least a phone call. It didn’t work out that way. That happened for a reason.

The reason for now, it seems, was so Oakland could put him on the staff of longtime coach Bob Melvin.

Before that, Pedrique spent five years coaching with the Yankees.

He started at Low-A Charleston in 2013 before moving to High-A Tampa the next season. From 2015, he managed Double-A Trenton before spending two years at the helm of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

I find it unfair and upsetting that someone would bring this claim up over two decades later for the sole purpose of hurting my family, my friends and this organization, with the intention of damaging my character and credibility. I was innocent then, and I am innocent now. Let me be clear: My priorities remain the same, to move forward and strive to be the best coach, teacher and man that I can possibly be.colts_020

With this year’s draft complete and free agency essentially over, the Los Angeles Chargers’ offseason is in full swing at the Hoag Performance Center.

Returning players have moved on to Phase II of the offseason, when coaches can work with players on the field.

Los Angeles Chargers Ryan Finley, QB, NC State: The Chargers hope Philip Rivers plays until they move into their new stadium in 2020, but they plan for the future anyway by drafting another Wolfpack quarterback to bridge the gap. 21. Dallas Cowboys Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson: You start to really think about this Clemson line and it’s fair to wonder who is going to beat them and just how high all four of these guys can be drafted next year.

Baltimore Ravens A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi: In his first draft, new GM Eric DeCosta decides get his future quarterback ( Lamar Jackson ) a weapon to grow with for the long Womens Charles Johnson Jersey haul. 23. Minnesota Vikings Devin Bush, LB, Michigan: 5.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss from the linebacker position will make people stand up and notice — the Vikings haven’t been shy about continuing to pump resources into their defense. 24. Jacksonville Jaguars Shea Patterson, QB, Michigan: It was a little surprising the Jags didn’t move to find a Blake Bortles replacement in this year’s draft, but they certainly need to think about doing so in next year’s draft. 25. Green Bay Packers (via Saints) Anfernee Jennings, LB, Alabama: The Packers can keep loading up on defensive talent to help out Mike Pettine’s unit. Certainly they’ve got enough invested in the offense for the moment.

We call it recycling our pain, Still said.

Authentic Mens Zach Strief Jersey Still retired last December after another foot injury sidetracked his career, deciding that at 28 years old, it was time to move on to something else.

Mason Rudolph Jersey on Roethlisberger: I’d say same thing if I were him

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said last week that he was surprised that the team took quarterback Mason Rudolph in the third round of the draft because he thought they could use players who can help the team now more than one who will be on the sideline if all goes according to plan.
Adidas Maurice Richard Premier Men's 1917-2017 100th Anniversary Jersey - NHL Montreal Canadiens #9 Black
Roethlisberger’s comments this week didn’t make for the warmest welcome for an incoming rookie, but Rudolph doesn’t appear to be too thrown by what the veteran had to say. He’ll be in Pittsburgh to practice for the first time at next weekend’s rookie minicamp.

The reality is, while Fournette was fine as a rookie, he was far from the game breaker people made him out to be. And the Jaguars were a good team last year because of their defense, not because of Fournette’s contributions.

How do we know Fournette isn’t the reason the Jaguars were a good team? It starts with the way they played in the three games Fournette missed. Those three games Fournette missed were three of the Jaguars’ best performances of the season: Jacksonville went 3-0 without Fournette, outscoring their opponents 95-14. In the 13 games Fournette played, the Jaguars Womens Tanoh Kpassagnon Jersey went 7-6 and outscored their opponents 322-254.

The Jaguars also rushed for an average of 158 yards a game in the three games Fournette missed, compared to 137 yards a game in the 13 games Fournette played. When Fournette was out, the Jaguars were just fine with T.J. Yeldon, Chris Ivory and Corey Grant running the ball.

Although Crawford downplays the correlation between song selection and success — probably not, he says when asked if Grove St. Party had anything to do with the Giants’ fifth-place finish — it’s worth noting that good pitching and timely hitting weren’t the only things last year’s playoff teams had in common.

This year’s first overall pick was one of the best-kept secrets in recent draft memory. The secret is now officially out. Cleveland went with Mayfield over the likes of Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen, with the hope that the Oklahoma product is the team’s long-term answer at quarterback.

Mayfield critics Devan Dubnyk Authentic Jersey knock him for his size (6-foot-1, 215 pounds) and the ease of the Sooners’ spread offense, but his elite passing efficiency is impossible to ignore. Last season, Mayfield completed 71 percent of his passes, averaged 11.5 yards per pass attempt (YPA), posted a 198.9 QB rating and a 92.6 total QBR. All were the highest marks among quarterbacks who attended the 2018 combine. Mayfield posted an incredible 43:6 TD:INT rate, and despite going down field plenty (10.7 average depth of target — aDOT), he was off target on only 8.9 percent of his attempts.

Williams, who went undrafted out of the University of Washington, played three games for Seattle in 2015 and 2016 before moving on to make seven appearances with the Browns last year. He caught nine passes for 84 yards in those outings and had one catch during his time with the Seahawks.

Ron Jaworski Jersey Smelter was a 2015 fourth-round pick of the 49ers and caught one pass for 23 yards in his two regular season appearances with the team.

So he had every right to keep his mouth shut, especially since the information was readily available to anyone who wanted to find it.

That said, Patricia鈥檚 hiring came in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement, which provided widespread encouragement to victims of sexual misconduct to make their experiences known 鈥?and which created a belated day of reckoning for many offenders. The new sensitivity to issues of this nature makes it a much closer question as to whether Patricia should have volunteered information that the Lions could have found on their own.

You could make a case for Evgeni Malkin, but I’m inclined to pick a goaltender when it comes to MVP discussions. They are, on the whole, personally responsible for a much larger percentage of your fantasy team’s fate. Sure, Pekka Rinne had better ratios, but Hellebuyck appeared in eight more games than Rinne and was still starting consistently in crunch time, winning nine consecutive games while only resting three times in the final three weeks.

Guard: The offensive line has had its share of positives and negatives in recent seasons. Daryl Williams and Trai Turner anchor a terrific right side but there’s now a gaping hole where All-Pro Andrew Norwell once was at left guard. The trio of 2017 second rounder Taylor Moton, free agent acquisition Jeremiah Sirles and serviceable backup Tyler Larsen should get a shot, but with such a quality guard class in ’18, Carolina should look long and hard at picking another one to compete here.

Here’s the list of the biggest NFL Draft busts since 1987, arranged in reverse chronological order.

Coming off a record-breaking junior season that earned him the Doak Walker Award, Richardson was what many considered a sure bet in the draft. He was not. After a season and a couple games of mediocre-at-best production, Richardson was traded to the Colts early during the 2013 season. He hasn’t played a down since the Colts cut him in 2015.

Whichever route Carolina doesn’t go in Round 1 absolutely needs to get addressed on Day 2. The Panthers have three Day 2 picks (55, 85, 88), putting it in position to add a lot of quality players.

“What you want to do in every draft is just get good players to help you, especially in the first three rounds,” Hurney said. “And we have four picks so we would like to get four players who come in and compete for a role and have some impact.”

If the Panthers forgo a receiver Thursday, speedster James Washington out of Oklahoma State should be the guy they draft. His speed and ability as a deep threat would be a natural complement to Funchess. Otherwise, Anthony Miller of Memphis is another versatile playmaker who could be a great fit.
