New England Patriots starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing plateau last year in his sophomore NFL season. He’s looking to do that again. But as of now, Stevenson isn’t yet fully practicing with the team. And apparently, only head coach Bill Belichick knows why.

Matthew Slater, Ed Lee and Brad Hawkins also left the main field after warmups.
Ty Montgomery appears to be making progress, but not ready yet.

Then, on Monday, Jackson and the network parted ways after 17 years. Breen recently told the New York Post that he was completely shocked by the network’s decision to lay off his broadcast partners.

The Pac-12’s long saga to find a media partner for next year is reportedly nearing a possible conclusion after commissioner George Kliavkoff proposed a subscription-based deal with streaming giant Apple to the league’s presidents and chancellors on Tuesday.
While Apple could represent the end of the lengthy road for the conference, there were apparently many other networks considered before reaching this point—including one that the Pac-12 approached three times over the last year to try and work out a deal, to no avail.

Aspen Vaughn, the woman Jackson Mahomes allegedly forced himself onto, has had to shut down her restaurant where the alleged sexual assault took place due to the negative publicity leading to significant losses.
According to the Kansas City Star, Vaugh’s restaurant called ‘Aspens’ has seen profit drop by 75% and also be subject to vandalism since the alleged incident was first made public earlier this year.
