Tom Brady politely declines to weigh in on Donald Trump’s comments

The other new guy, Martellus Bennett, had all three of Brady’s touchdown passes. Offseason acquisition Chris Hogan also made an impact with the return of Brady, hauling in four passes for 114 yards. Dalton had the ball down by three with the game on the line and 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

“It’s a violent game, things are going to happen, but it sucks when you’re not out there”, he said.

Athletes are very protective of their locker rooms, and even reporters who have covered sports for years are seldom told what they say behind closed doors. Both times, he answered in generalities, saying that he’s always excited to play and that the crowd should be supportive and that the Bengals are a good football team. Cincinnati hasn’t won at New England since 1986, dropping their past six there. There is room for growth and a continued learning curve.

Before leaving the press conference, Brady said: “It feels like I am still getting into it”. “That’s why things play out over a long season”.

Tom Brady, you acted like a real pussy on Wednesday.

Let’s pretend your fantasy football roster is a horse: Are you primping that stallion for the prize show or are you ready to drag that underperforming pony to the glue factory? I mean we’re playing a great team. He’s always invited me to play golf. The goal now is to make one or more when they really matter. Brady is at the center of that all each and every fall. “They change the whole field position”, he said.

One has to wonder if Brady is still hanging his Trump hat in his locker.

In Houston, Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney said his teammates don’t speak as Trump described. “Jojo’s a great player”. Again, it’s just distributing the ball. “He can block, he can run, catch. go deep and go short”.

“It’s too early in the season to say that [I’m in a rhythm], but 11 targets last week, I think that’s pretty good, and the catches”, LaFell said.

SERIES HISTORY: 25th all-time meeting.

Patriots lead series, 15-9. Loss Sunday would leave Bengals 2-4 for first time since 2010, when they finished 4-12 – their worst season under Lewis. It’s three different career paths. And whether you’re running it or throwing it or which part of the field you’re throwing at – everybody has to play a role. “There’s players in our locker room with sisters, wives, and daughters”.

“We need to come up with the big plays, the almost-miracle type of plays that turn games around”, offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said.

“The Patriot Way when I was there was do your job”, LaFell said.

When the Bengals and Patriots battle at Foxboro this Sunday will the over cash for bettors or is the under the better bet? FB Glenn Gronkowski, younger brother of Patriots All-Pro TE Rob Gronkowski, was released from the practice squad on Wednesday. The 25-year-old wide receiver was drafted by the New York Jets in 2014.

The homecoming is less about personal memories and more about saving a season. Bolden is expected to miss a few weeks due to a leg injury suffered in the Week 4 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

But scoring touchdowns wasn’t the only reason the Bengals were interested in signing him.

If things had gone a certain way, maybe the Patriots would have waited a year to take a QB, and perhaps rolled the dice on Siemian late in the draft.

A shoulder injury prevented Garoppolo from starting all four games of Brady’s suspension, but his stats in those two starts aren’t shabby.
