Steelers' Antonio Brown Reportedly Has A Six-figure Deal With Facebook

... in the high six-figures.". So perhaps it's fitting that Brown, whose catchphrase is "Business is boomin'," took to social media - including Facebook - to apologize for using. Facebook.

"It was wrong of me to do, against team and NFL policy, and I have apologized to Coach Tomlin and my teammates for my actions. I'm sorry to them for letting it become a distraction and something that they've had to answer questions about while we're preparing for a big game on Sunday.".

Northwestern Win A First In 40 Years; Next Task Is Something It's Never Done

... Big Ten is no exception. Last season, Collins' team was close but not quite ready to closing out some important road games - a factor that may have cost it an NCAA Tournament appearance last season. That team was still relatively young and inexperienced. This is basically the same team, just a year older and wiser. And so far they look a whole lot more prepared to win those games they might have lost last season. Northwestern is 5-2 in league play - and four of those wins have come on the road by fewer than 10 points. Last season, Northwestern won just three conference road games and went 2-4 in road games decided by 10 points or fewer. Its biggest weakness last season has turned into a strength. Which leads me to this. 3. This could be the year Northwestern makes its appearance in the tournament. While the Wildcats have been close, they have never appeared in the ...

Patriots Heading To Super Bowl To Face Their Biggest Rival, And It's Not The Falcons

... In bars and restaurants across Boston, Patriots fans talked openly about wanting Goodell to have to show up and deal with the Patriots in person, an unavoidable collision now that they're on their way to Super Bowl LI. Outside the stadium before Sunday's game, Boston accents made extra rich with a beer or two turned tailgating into the art of badmouthing the commissioner. One man's shirt, which got a rowdy applause, summed up the tenor and tone of this town and its beloved football team: "Goodell is a Douche.". Classy, no. But it spoke to the zeitgeist, and to a Patriots organization that those close to it will tell you is gleefully ready to take their reprisals on the road to Houston and the man who will be forced onto the podium with them if they can beat the Atlanta Falcons in two weeks' time. There's more at play, of course. No quarterback has ever led a team to five Super Bowl wins, and Brady accomplishing that ...

Colts Reportedly Hired Psychologists To Help Ex-gm Grigson, Coach Pagano Get Along

... CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported last season - before the Colts surprisingly decided to retain both men. This time around, owner Jim Irsay kept Pagano and parted ways with Grigson. But before he did that, Irsay apparently tried to save the Pagano-Grigson relationship, according to a report ESPN's Adam Schefter dropped Sunday morning. According to Schefter, the Colts hired psychologists to improve communication between the two. I'll let Schefter explain. According to sources, one person compared the meetings to a couple going to marriage counseling, hoping they could work out their issues with the help of a third party. Apparently, it didn't work. For what it's worth, the Grigson-Pagano relationship seemingly wasn't the only bad relationship in Indianapolis. Grigson didn't have the best relationship with the players, too. — Pat Mc Afee (@Pat Mc Afee Show) January 21, 2017. Of course, ...

Saints And Colts Discuss Possible Trade For Sean Payton, But Talks Break Down

... offseason and the shoulder surgery Luck required, and to work on minor logistical matters like offseason scouting travel, but neither had an explicit mandate from Irsay that he would return for 2017, despite reports asserting both men were "safe.". Sources said Grigson was surprised to get the call over the weekend that he would not be back, though he was obviously aware of the recent reports about Irsay's pursuit of former head coach Jon Gruden and the owner's interest in bringing in Peyton Manning as a team president to head up football operations. During his press conference announcing Grigson's departure, Irsay sought to downplay his interest in Gruden or Manning - couching his discussions as gathering information about his organization - but league sources said the owner was in fact using the last few weeks as an attempt to upgrade from his ...

Nfl Explains Why The Packers Didn't Get A Safety On The Falcons' Fumble Recovery

... (c) Offensive team commits a foul and spot of enforcement is behind its own goal line. (d) Player on receiving team muffs punt and, trying to get ball, forces or illegally kicks (creating new impetus) it into end zone where it goes out of the end zone or is recovered by a member of the receiving team in the end zone. Examples of Non-Safety. (a) Player intercepts a pass with both feet in-bounds in the field of play and his momentum carries him into his own end zone. Ball is put in play at spot of interception. (b) Player intercepts a pass in his own end zone and is downed in the end zone, even after recovering in the end zone. Impetus came from passing team, not from defense. (Touchback). (c) Player passes from behind his own goal line. Opponent bats down ball in end zone. (Incomplete pass). Those bolded sections are the important parts, because they explain why the Packers should've been awarded a safety if Collins rolled into the end zone on his own. They also explain why the Falcons should've been awarded possession at the spot of recovery (the 1-yard line) if Collins' own momentum carried ...

Falcons Blast Packers, Cruise To 2017 Super Bowl

... off a somersault while snagging a catch. There aren't many human beings who can do that. Great catch by Julio Jones __link__/w Qv VLBbw Ff. — Steve Noah (@Steve_OS) January 22, 2017. With all due respect to Antonio Brown , Jones is just playing out of his mind right now. It's fascinating too, because the Falcons offense isn't dependent on him having a monster day to succeed. Ryan is dealing the ball over the place. But because there are so many dangerous weapons on Atlanta's roster, it stretches a defense and presents Jones with opportunities. He certainly took advantage of them on Sunday. 2. Missed opportunities. The Packers didn't score a single point in the first half against Atlanta, which is not a good thing. But they certainly had multiple opportunities to keep Atlanta from piling up a 24-0 lead. That lead, by the way, was the largest of the ...
