Is Antonio Brown’s NFL career over? Likely for 2019 at least
Barry Wilner, Ap Pro Football Writer Updated 4:40 pm PDT, Friday, September 20, 2019 So many factors went into Antonio Brown's release by the Patriots on Friday. It would be stunning if he draws interest from any other teams as the league's investigation continues. His time in the NFL might be over. As much as Brown's stellar career has been overshadowed and besmirched by his recent behavior as a player and allegations of his actions as a person, the Patriots also have had their image tarnished in a short but ugly marriage. The team probably recognized that when it cut ties after Brown suited up for one game, contributing plenty in a 43-0 demolition of what the Miami Dolphins have turned into. New England would have been on the hook for Brown's entire $9 million salary (and possibly more) for 2019 had he been placed on the NFL's commissioner's exempt list. He couldn't have practiced or played for the team, but as the league's investigation continued, he would have … [Read more...] about Is Antonio Brown’s NFL career over? Likely for 2019 at least

Shea Theodore happy to be back on the ice with Golden Knights
San Jose Sharks left wing Evander Kane (9) skates with the puck under pressure from Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore (27) during the first overtime period of Game 6 of an NHL Western Conference quarterfinal series at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 21, 2019. (Chase Stevens/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @csstevensphotoLas Vegas local Randall Keller watches the Golden Knights practice during an alien costume contest at City National Arena on Friday, Sept. 20, 2019 in Las Vegas. (Elizabeth Page Brumley/Las Vegas Review-Journal @EliPagePhoto) Shea Theodore is almost back to normalcy. The defenseman practiced with the rest of the Golden Knights on Thursday and Friday as he comes back from a “minor tweak” he suffered in pre-training camp testing, according to general manager Kelly McCrimmon. He’s getting back into a typical training camp routine after his summer — and life — was disrupted with a testicular cancer diagnosis. Theodore had surgery … [Read more...] about Shea Theodore happy to be back on the ice with Golden Knights
Oregon could put Stanford’s bowl hopes into jeopardy
Oregon's Jaylon Redd, right, dives into the end zone for a touchdown against Montana during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019, in Eugene, Ore. (AP Photo/Chris Pietsch) Let’s recap Stanford’s 2019 season. The Cardinal gifted backers a miracle cover by scoring on a Northwestern fumble with 20 seconds left in Week 1. The next week, they allowed Southern California true freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis to finish the game on a 42-3 scoring run. Then Central Florida built a 38-7 halftime lead before cruising the rest of the game. Forget Northwestern’s horrible offense and focus on what’s happened the last two games: 90 points and 1,037 yards from teams that could’ve added more. Stanford’s offensive line and running game is in shambles. David Shaw’s play-calling has become extremely predictable. And I don’t think the crowd at The Farm provides much of a home-field advantage. The market has not caught … [Read more...] about Oregon could put Stanford’s bowl hopes into jeopardy
