After Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reported Bill Belichick has been shopping quarterback Mac Jones in trade conversations this offseason, former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said he doesn’t buy it.
Gronkowski joined Kay Adams of the Up & Adams show to discuss the speculation around the third-year Patriots quarterback.
“I think that was fake news,” Gronkowski said. “There’s just too much turnover this year. I mean [Belichick] already got a new offensive coordinator that he brought into place.

Phillies star Bryce Harper took batting practice on Tuesday evening ahead of the team’s game against the Yankees and plans to do so again on Thursday prior to the team’s home opener at Citizens Bank Park.
Harper underwent offseason Tommy John surgery, and continues to progress in his recovery. It is unlikely that Harper plays right field this season for Philadelphia, but will be in position to be the team’s full-time designated hitter while his tendon continues to heal.
Witnessing a hole-in-one during the Masters Par 3 contest isn’t rare, in fact, it’s essentially a yearly occurrence. What is rare is making back-to-back aces, but lightning struck twice for Seamus Power on Wednesday afternoon.
While the first couple of hours of the Masters Par 3 contest didn’t produce a hole-in-one, Power got the party started on the 8th hole.
The Irishman hit a wedge just past the flagstick allowing the backstop to do the work for him as his ball perfectly trickled into the hole.

Verdugo, not exactly known for being the most subtle of baseball players, appeared on a baseball podcast and had some harsh words for Manoah’s style on the mound.

“If it’s a genuine reaction and it’s for the boys, not directed towards somebody, then yeah (it’s fine),” he told the “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast.

Archie Manning is very proud of Arch, and his father Cooper, for how they approached the most highly-scrutinized recruitment in recent college football history. In an era where NIL exists and social media reins king, the first grandson of football mostly kept to himself.
Only he and his immediate family knew what was going on throughout the process. Not Eli, not Peyton, not Archie. Just Arch, Cooper, Ellen, and his brother and sister. Well, and the coaches.
