Former Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins announced his retirement from the NFL at age 33 after 10 seasons in the league Friday.
“It hasn’t hit me yet, but I’m officially retired,” Collins said, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “It was wonderful and something I never thought I’d be a part of. Made a lot of great relationships. Had a ton of fun. Now it’s time to relax and be with my family.”
New England drafted Collins out of Southern Miss in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft, and the linebacker was an immediate contributor.

It was a rough day at the office for Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll who saw his fourth straight Q1 elimination and will start Sunday’s Qatar Grand Prix in P18.
While his teammate Fernando Alonso has been racking up some podiums (and will start on the second row in P4 on Sunday), Stroll has failed to get on the podium once this season in a car that is certainly capable on a lot of weekends.
He is no doubt aware of this, and the frustration is mounting.
After being sent to the showers by being one of the five slowest drivers in the first session of qualifying, Stroll was clearly agitated.
Hockey fans, mark your calendars. We’re about a week away from the puck dropping to open the 2023-24 NHL season, and ESPN has announced plans for a very special night of hockey coverage hosted by John Buccigross and Kevin Weekes.
On a conference call earlier this week, ESPN coordinating producer Linda Schulz revealed that the network has plans for a special night of puck programming on October 24.
“I have not mentioned Frozen Frenzy,” Schulz said. “Frozen Frenzy is something that is going to happen October 24th.
The dedication of Barbara Kingsolver’s searing 2022 novel, Demon Copperhead, is three simple words: “To the survivors.”
Kingsolver expounds more on that in the final words of her acknowledgments at the end of a Pulitzer Prize–winning work that is a modern adaptation of the Dickens classic about marginalized and exploited children, David Copperfield: “For the kids who wake up hungry in those dark places every day, who’ve lost their families to poverty and pain pills, whose caseworkers keep losing their files, who feel invisible, or wish they were: this book is for you.
Year one of the Deion Sanders experience at Colorado has been a spectacle. The Buffaloes surprised the college football world by starting the season 3-2, play an incredibly exciting brand of football, and have even gotten big-name celebrities to travel to Boulder to catch a glimpse.
One thing that has become clear through the first five weeks of Colorado’s season is that Deion Sanders has some friends, and not just any friends.

A big night for Mercedes and more struggles for Sergio Pérez
Qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix is in the books.
Who were the big winners, and who still has some work to do in Sunday’s Grand Prix?
Let’s dive in straight away.
Winner: Max Verstappen
Another qualifying session, another pole position. Ho hum.
However, this gives Verstappen quite the safety net. He needs just three points to clinch his third-straight title, and he can likely pick those up in the F1 Sprint race on Saturday.
They’re seemingly dissimilar players, former Oklahoma and current Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and former Colts punter Pat McAfee. They played different positions in different (at the time) college conferences, achieving vastly different levels of notoriety while on campus.
However, they have one thing in common: both were, during their playing careers, arrested for public intoxication.
Former Las Vegas Raider Chandler Jones was arrested after stealing things from his ex’s house and then burning them.
However, for some reason, he burned these things while he was completely nude.
According to KTNV, Jones sent Snapchat messages to a woman who said she was the mother of his child, and who had a temporary protection order against him. Later that same day, the woman said she spotted Jones on her security cameras. The defensive end is alleged to have taken items — including a recycling bin, pool net, and dog toys (the necessities) — from the backyard.
