    Deflategate officially comes to an end right when Patriots need Tom Brady the most
    FOXBOROUGH, MA — In the dank and drear of an autumn Sunday, the NFL’s longest-running absurdist drama finally played out its last act. Next Sunday, Tom Brady will be back playing quarterback for the New England Patriots, having served his four-game suspension for whatever it was that Roger Goodell thinks Brady did with the footballs almost two years ago now. (Like any obscure medieval war, the Deflategate saga has gone on so long that nobody remembers what the original fuss was about.) ..

  • Le'Veon Bell wasted no time reminding everyone how damn good he is

    Le'Veon Bell wasted no time reminding everyone how damn good he is
    Updated at 7:31 a.m. ET PITTSBURGH — Eleven months ago, Le'Veon Bell destroyed his knee. More accurately, Vontaze Burfict destroyed Bell's knee; it was Burfict who, in a Nov. 1 game at Heinz Field between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, awkwardly dragged Bell to the turf, shredded his right MCL and PCL and ended his season in Week 8. MORE: Steelers-Chiefs highlights, stats It's been easy to lose sight of that over the last few months — it was a missed drug test that kept Bell out of the..

    Sounders earn wild win over Whitecaps - Yakima Herald
    VANCOUVER, B.C. — 
Located somewhere between Brad Evans’ celebration of his game-winning goal in front of the hardcore Whitecaps fan section and his red-card walk down a tunnel past them was the ID of this Seattle-Vancouver match.Sunday evening brought together a desperate Whitecaps team and a depleted Sounders one. What resulted was 90 ragged minutes of raw emotion interspersed with only the occasional goal-scoring opportunity.Both Vancouver midfielder Pedro Morales and Evans scored and were l..

  • Bill Belichick's postgame press conference was classic Bill Belichick

    Bill Belichick's postgame press conference was classic Bill Belichick
    Getty ImagesThere was nothing specific about Bill Belichick’s postgame press conference following his first shutout loss as coach of the Patriots that merits a headline or a stand-alone post. But, generally, the whole thing was classic Belichick. So here it is, in full and as circulated by the team. We hope you enjoy reading it more than Belichick enjoyed creating it. BB: Alright, well obviously we didn’t do much of anything well enough to win today, so we’ve just got to do a better job, t..

  • Early turnovers help Steelers sink sloppy Chiefs (Oct 3, 2016)

    Early turnovers help Steelers sink sloppy Chiefs (Oct 3, 2016)
    PITTSBURGH (AP) The Kansas City Chiefs, impressive one week ago against the New York Jets, couldn't sustain the momentum against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chiefs forced eight turnovers during a win against the Jets, but were unable to build on it against a Steelers' team that suffered its worst loss in 27 years last week at Philadelphia. The return of All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles didn't help as the Chiefs' offense sputtered and committed two costly early turnovers while Steelers..

    Monday Musings: The reason behind Matt Ryan's turnaround and why the Falcons are 3-1
    Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is on pace to throw for 5,892 yards and 44 touchdown passes. Not bad for a guy some fools think can't play the position at a high level. After an unreal performance Sunday against the Carolina Panthers , where Ryan threw for 503 yards and four touchdown passes, with 300 of those yards and one score going to receiver Julio Jones , Ryan has emerged as an early MVP candi..

    Swansea appoint former US boss Bradley
    Brian McBride and Alexis Nunes react to reports of Bob Bradley being linked to the Swansea City managerial role. Swansea City have named former United States boss Bob Bradley as their new coach after parting company with Francesco Guidolin.
