Stop it! Cam is best option for Patriots this season
Apparently nobody has any idea what’s going on with the quarterback position in New England, as different reporters at the same practices are saying different things.

Stop the Bubble slander
The Denver Nuggets are down 3-0, meaning no team who reached the NBA’s Final Four in The Bubble has won a game past Round 1, and one of them didn’t even do that.

Remember to touch every base
Yes, if you hit a home run you still need to step on all the bases and, of course, home plate. It’s not a crazy, or even a controversial, rule. But sometimes, even the pros forget....
