https://ift.tt/2SHFrLH Lynn Bowden Jr. outplayed Virginia Tech all day with his feet. “Ya'll said I couldn't throw, so over the top it goes,” Bowden joked after the game.

Taking shots or talking truth? Jarvis Landry on respect, leadership after Freddie Kitchens' firing

https://ift.tt/2ZDHq5p Jarvis Landry had a lot to say the morning after the Cleveland Browns put themselves back on the decades-long coaching carousel by firing Freddie Kitchens after one season. The Browns (6-10) were supposed to finally be good this season with a cast of superstars, but 2019 was one issue after another. Landry answered questions with the media Monday morning and was either taking shots at the former coach, or simply telling the truth depending on how you look at it. from Yahoo!

Tom Brady on loss to Dolphins: 'We had plays that I should make. And I didn't make them'

https://ift.tt/2u9Vsjp The New England Patriots stunned many when they lost to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the first time since the 2006 regular season that the Patriots lost at home to the Dolphins. It also knocked the Patriots from the No. 2 seed in the AFC, meaning they'll play on wild-card weekend for the first time since 2009. On Monday, Tom Brady laid a lot of the blame on himself for the Patriots' struggles. from Yahoo! Sports - News, Scores, Standings, Rumors, Fantasy Games https://ift.tt/2ZC83HB

Eli Manning deserved better than the Giants

https://ift.tt/39tR7rh Eli Manning stood in front of his New York Giants locker for perhaps the final time Monday morning, sporting — of course — a conservative quarter-zip and the same laconic Southern accent that he brought to town 15 years ago. His contract is up, and he was asked if he'd consider returning to the Giants as a backup. What he should have said: “A backup? from Yahoo!

Inarguable predictions of the 2020 NBA All-Star Game selections

https://ift.tt/2tlWgBa Pascal Siakam, Toronto Raptors 27 Games: 25.1 PPG (46 FG%, 39 3P%, 81 FT%), 8.0 RPG, 3.6 APG, 2.0 SPG/BPG Siakam is effectively filling the role Kawhi Leonard left behind in Toronto, which was unthinkable two years ago and still improbable last season, when he was among the final cuts for an All-Star roster spot. Kawhi's numbers for Toronto at this point last season: 26.7 points (on 49/38/86 shooting splits), 8.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.4 combined blocks and steals per game. The Raptors were 19-9 with the Finals MVP in the lineup nearing the midway point of their title campaign, and they are 19-8 with Siakam this season. from Yahoo!

After Pace and Nagy finished trying to convince everyone that an offense that finished 25th in DVOA was only a few minor tweaks away, the Bears ushered media members into another part of Halas Hall so that Chairman George McCaskey and President Ted Phillips could properly explain to everyone how to feel after an 8-8 season.

49ers prevented Russell Wilson from passing Tom Brady for new NFL record in Week 17

https://ift.tt/355Vplu Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had a chance to set a new NFL record in his team's Week 17 game against the San Francisco 49ers, but he came up about an inch short. Wilson entered Sunday night's matchup with 86 career wins, which was tied with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for the most by a QB in his first eight seasons. In fairness to Brady, he didn't start a game in his rookie season, so his 86 wins actually came over seven years (2001 through 2007). from Yahoo!

Delay of game, missed PI thwart potential Marshawn Lynch goal-line moment amid 49ers-Seahawks chaos

Brutal delay of game Seattle thought it secured that moment when Wilson connected with John Ursua on fourth down to set up first-and goal at the one-yard line with 23 seconds remaining. But the Seahawks didn't set their offense in time and drew a costly five-yard delay-of-game penalty after Wilson spiked the ball to stop the clock on first down. from Yahoo!
