data-mm-id=”_ttd2vwlk5″>An interesting trend I've noticed among the dozen or so Patriots fans I know is their unabashed love for Tom Brady even in the face of his departure from New England. Ask any of them what they think of TB12 today and they'll give you as flattering an answer as they would have after he led them to their sixth Super Bowl. This isn't the norm for every fan base and their former hero. When Brett Favre left for the Vikings, Packers fans were ready to crucify the man who brought them their first Super Bowl since 1967. Of course, it's apples and oranges, not only because Brady accomplished more than Favre, but also because he didn't leave for a rival. Still, I don't think we've ever seen a fan base stay so in love with a player who ju…
data-mm-id=”_qi80k61fm”>The Pac-12 is planning a loan program that would allow each of the conference's member schools to receive up to $83 million. The loans, which could total nearly a billion dollars, would be available in the event that the college football season is canceled. Here's what an anonymous source told the Mercury News: ““The conference is trying to be nimble and give schools some options’’”If you can get approval on a 10-year loan for $83 million, that means the bank is supposed to believe you can pay them back like $10 million a year every year for the next decade. I don't know what the exact payments would look like, but they would be massive and are great proof of what big business college football is. With that kind of money you could buy a jet …
data-mm-id=”_iyrn4g88v”>As a head coach, Adam Gase is little better than a walking corpse at this point. No one expects him to remain with the New York Jets after this season. Chief among the reasons for his impending firing has been his inability to develop young quarterback Sam Darnold. Gase admitted as much on Thursday, as the entire sports world nodded in agreement. Gase said part of the reason he went to New York was to help develop Darnold and said he's failed to do so:Revealing quote from Gase on Darnold: “I came here to help him, help him develop his career, and we haven’t been able to do that. That’s why every game is so important. Keep trying to help him grow …” #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) December 3, 2020More Gase on Darnold: “We need to do things wel…
data-mm-id=”_4kef4fhx4″>The Boston Celtics currently trail the Philadelphia 76ers 3-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals and haven't looked great in the series. Elimination short of the NBA Finals would qualify as a disappointment after Boston lost the title series last season. Colin Cowherd thinks it's time for the Celtics to shake up the roster and trade Jaylen Brown. Bill Simmons absolutely hates the proposed deal.On Wednesday's episode of The Herd, Cowherd claimed the Celtics needed to make major changes and get rid of Brown to do so. His idea was to trade the two-time All-Star to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole. That would give star Jayson Tatum some help defensively on the wing with Wiggins, and scoring punch with Poole. …
