In an extraordinary tournament, the legend scored ten goals in seven matches and hoisted his first trophy in the United States thanks to the help of a veteran coach like Gerardo Martino and brilliant players such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Lionel Messi’s impact has been massive in a span of four weeks at Inter Miami and the soccer world is watching another tremendous chapter with him in the US and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>&nbsp;at&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>.

<h2>Sports stars and celebrities react to Lionel Messi’s victory at the Leagues Cup</h2>



After the&nbsp;2023 Leagues Cup&nbsp;final, many stars were dazzled by Lionel Messi and another epic night to conquer his first title in the United States. One of them was the minority owner of Inter Miami, David Beckham. 


 

 


The former player was just moved by what he saw at Nashville with a mixed message of English and Spanish. “We’re so happy. Tonight, it was a very special night for our club, for our fans, the players and our families. I’m so proud tonight of what we have achieved as La Familia (the family). Gracias (thanks) for everything Miami. Gracias (thanks) Leo.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo took the field at Nashville making a Cristiano Ronaldo celebration. In the end, as the owner of the losing team, he just acknowledged Messi’s greatness. 



The NBA star of the Milwaukee Bucks wrote a very special message on social media. “Messi. Respect. Didn’t get the results we wanted, but what a great atmosphere. Nashville SC we will be back stronger and better than ever.”

Rob Gronkowski&nbsp;was definitely one of the best tight ends in NFL history. He won four Super Bowls and became the most trusted man on the field for&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a>&nbsp;with the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>.



However, especially because of injuries, the star had to announce a final and second retirement in 2022.&nbsp;“I will now be going back into my retirement home, walking away from football again with my head held high knowing I gave it everything I had, good or bad, every time I stepped out on the field.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230201#CMS#0019"></div>


Now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rob-gronkowski" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rob Gronkowski</a>&nbsp;just made a very bold projection in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. When asked about how many wins the Patriots could get this season, the answer was just shocking.



<h2>Rob Gronkowski picks surprising number of wins for the Patriots</h2>



Rob Gronkowski&nbsp;was asked about how many wins the New England Patriots will get in the 2023 NFL season during an interview with&nbsp;Kay Adams. Even in a very complicated AFC East, the former tight end was optimistic.


 

 


“I’m gonna go with the New England Patriots over 7.5 games won. The AFC is tough, but this is a no brainer. I’ll just put it this way. They had a losing record last year and they still won eight games.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230330#CMS#0006"></div>


The big question is why Gronk believes the&nbsp;Patriots&nbsp;could get to that number in a tough division. “They got a great coach in there. They’re gonna be coached no matter what. They’re gonna win games. They’re gonna win the tough games and they’re gonna win over 7.5 for sure. It doesn’t matter (the division). Their coaching is just too superb. Don’t forget the offensive coordinator (Bill O’Brien).”

Tthe&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a>&nbsp;are trying to become, once again, a contender in the&nbsp;AFC&nbsp;alongside teams such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, the Cincinnati Bengals or the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buffalo Bills</a>.



It was a very complicated offseason for the&nbsp;Ravens&nbsp;trying to solve Lamar Jackson’s contract situation. They took a risk by using a&nbsp;non-exclusive franchise tag, but, when no team showed any interest, the quarterback got rewarded and became the best paid player in the league.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230201#CMS#0019"></div>


Now, the first step for the&nbsp;Ravens&nbsp;is to win back the&nbsp;AFC North&nbsp;and then start the hunt toward the&nbsp;Super Bowl. That’s why, after signing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/odell-beckham-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Odell Beckham Jr</a>, they’ve just another massive splash in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.



<h2>Jadeveon Clowney is new player of the Baltimore Ravens</h2>



The Baltimore Ravens officialy announced Jadeveon Clowney signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract. The veteran outside linebacker will provide much needed depth at the position behind David Ojabo and Odafe Oweh.


 

 


In 2014, Clowney was selected with the No.1 overall pick by the Texans and then played for teams like the Seahawks, Titans and Browns. By the way, head coach John Harbaugh was asked if the defensive player will be ready for the opener against Houston on September 10.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230415#CMS#0012"></div>


“Absolutely. We expect him to help us, you know, preseason play him a little bit and get him ready. We’ll see and then right away in Week 1 he should be out there playing hard and doing a god job for us.”

The&nbsp;Cincinnati Bengals&nbsp;have been one of the best teams in the AFC during the last years. They’re the biggest threat to&nbsp;dethrone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.



That’s why, just a few days ago, the&nbsp;Bengals&nbsp;finally reached an agreement with&nbsp;Joe Mixon&nbsp;as the running back accepted to restructure his contract. Before the 2023 season, Mixon had a $9.4 million nonguaranteed base salary producing a headache for the Bengals with a possible $12.8 million hit for the salary cap.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230730#BUS#38074"></div>


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-mixon">Joe Mixon</a>&nbsp;has played six years for the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a>&nbsp;and in three of those seasons he surpassed a 1000 yards. However, big legal issues could derail his future in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



<h2>Joe Mixon is found not guilty of aggravated menacing</h2>



In a huge day for Joe Mixon, the running back was found not guilty of aggravated menacing. The Bengals’ player was accused by a woman of pulling a gun in her face following a driving incident between them on January 21st. However, there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that threat.


 

 


If Mixon had been found guilty, the star might have spent up to a year in jail. This was the verdict by judge Gwen Bender in Hamilton County. “After a careful review of all of the evidence presented at trial, including the stipulations and the testimony presented today, I cannot say the city sustained its burden.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230608#BUS#7687"></div>


The Bengals confirmed the information and are focused on the opener against the Browns. “The organization is pleased that this matter is now behind everyone. We look forward to an exciting season with Joe being an important part of the football team.”

In 2022, Gronk announced his second and final retirement.&nbsp;“I will now be going back into my retirement home, walking away from football again with my head held high knowing I gave it everything I had, good or bad, every time I stepped out on the field.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230201#CMS#0019"></div>


Now, in a very special episode,&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rob-gronkowski" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rob Gronkowski</a>&nbsp;remembered an amazing record accomplished with Brady in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. A number which might not be broken even by stars such as Patrick Mahomes. 



<h2>Rob Gronkowski has a special message for Tom Brady</h2>



Rob Gronkowski talked about the 105 touchdowns he had playing with Tom Brady and how that number is amazing compared to other duos like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. This was his reaction during an interview with&nbsp;Kay Adams.


 

 


“It is pretty crazy whenever I see that. The amount of touchdown receptions I had from Tom. It’s actually the most mind blowing stat of mine. That just shows how appreciative I was to be with Tom throughout my whole career. That’s why I wanted to stick with him throughout my whole career.”



Though Gronk admitted it’s nice to think about coming out of retirement, the former tight end acknowledged his body isn’t ready. That’s why he treasures his years with Tom Brady.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230330#CMS#0006"></div>


“We built such a great connection and it just doesn’t happen overnight. It was a connection built through many years. That’s why it was so great and I just loved playing with him as well. He didn’t care about stats. It was at the end of the list. It was more important to win and do what’s best for the team.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Jordan</a> has been the biggest inspiration to most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> players that came after him. Even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a> admittedly dreamed of being as good as the Chicago Bulls legend.



For years, Jordan’s GOAT status was undisputed and not even debated. He was so obviously superior to every single one of his peers that no one dared to even make it a conversation.



That’s why ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith will always have Jordan ranked higher than the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers’ </a>star, who hasn’t been the consensus best player on Earth every year.



<h2>Stephen A. Smith Makes GOAT Case For Michael Jordan</h2>



“During the LeBron James era, there were debates as to whether or not he was the best in the world,” Smith said on his podcast. “When Michael Jordan was playing there was never a debate ever as to who was the best in the world.”



“Even with Larry Bird or Magic Johnson winning the championship, it was clear that Michael Jordan was the best player in the world,” Smith added. “Larry Bird called him God.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230815#BUS#46568"></div>


Of course, everybody’s entitled to their opinion, and there should be no shame in being No. 2 to the great Michael Jordan, but these comments will most likely reignite this never-ending debate.

When asked about which team could be the next champion, the answer was just shocking.



<h2>Rob Gronkowski picks a shocking team to win the Super Bowl</h2>



Rob Gronkowski was asked about which team could win the Super Bowl in the 2023 NFL season during an interview with&nbsp;Kay Adams. It’s definitely not a favorite.


 

 


“I’m going to go with the Dallas Cowboys. You know, you don’t want to always bet the favorites because then you don’t win too much. So, I feel like the Dallas Cowboys have pretty good odds to win some money if they win it all.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230330#CMS#0006"></div>


The big question is why Gronk believes the Cowboys could go all the way. “They added Brandin Cooks at the wide receiver position. A super fast player who could go downfield. He will be a great complement for CeeDee Lamb. They’ve been making the playoffs every year and I think this is the year they get over that edge.”

<h2>Will Rob Gronkowski come out of retirement?</h2>



Rob Gronkowski&nbsp;confirmed there’s only one head coach with the possibility of getting him out of retirement. It all happened during an interview with&nbsp;Kay Adams.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230415#CMS#0012"></div>

 


“Brian Daboll. Oh, my hometown team (New York Giants). I mean, he can’t get me out of retirement, but he would have the best chance of getting me out of retirement. Brian Daboll wants me on his roster. I know it.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230330#CMS#0006"></div>


Gronk just couldn’t hide his excitement with the idea of coming back.&nbsp;“I would love to do it though. I love to pretend that I can still play. Just makes me feel good.”&nbsp;Nevertheless, he admitted the body is just not ready anymore.&nbsp;“No. I can’t. I’m washed up. I just like to pretend.”

Anthony Richardson is supposed to be the heir of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/peyton-manning">Peyton Manning</a> and Andrew Luck with the Indianapolis Colts. After the Matt Ryan’s experiment failed, the franchise went all-in taking him with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 Draft. One of the biggest prospects in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



Last season, head coach Frank Reich was fired in the middle of the season, Jeff Saturday took over as interim and now Shane Steichen is the new leader of the team. He was sensational as offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230810#BUS#44108"></div>


In his first big decision, Steichen has already named <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-richardson">Anthony Richardson</a> as the starting quarterback of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a>. The reactions of the young player from the university of Florida was just incredible.



<h2>Will Anthony Richardson be the Colts’ starting QB?</h2>



After Shane Steichen chose Anthony Richardson over Gardner Minshew, the Indianapolis Colts have taken a huge risk. However, they believe there’s margin to compete in the AFC South against the Jaguars, Texans and Titans.



This was Richardson’s reaction. “Honestly, I was shocked. I’ve still got to work for it despite being granted the opportunity. Still got to work for it because nothing’s handed to you. Got to earn everything.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230730#BUS#38080"></div>


Anthony Richardson couldn’t hide the decision took him by surprise so early in the preseason. “I was just looking forward to Week 1 and just being ready for the opportunity and getting thrown in the fire hopefully. But then he (Shane Steichen) told me, and I’m like, ‘Wow, it really happened.’ I’m thankful and I’m blessed. Now, you’ve got to keep building on this opportunity.”

For years, people have talked about who’s the greatest player in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history. And while most people will agree that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Jordan</a> should lead the voting, everybody’s entitled to their own opinion.



That includes ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith, who has addressed this subject multiple times. Per him, Jordan is the undisputed GOAT, but LeBron is a close second.



That’s why superagent Rich Paul claimed he was disrespecting the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers </a>star, to which Smith didn’t mince his words when firing back at the Klutch Sports CEO.



<h2>Stephen A. Smith Puts Rich Paul On Blast</h2>



“I got him as the second-best player in the history of basketball,” Smith said. “I got him, ahead of Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar). I got him behind no one but (Michael) Jordan and I said to Mr. Chirper himself, Rich Paul – my boy – and I said, you act like that’s an insult. This dude [said] ‘It is an insult.’ I said ‘Get the f*** out of my face.&apos;”



“Exactly what I said to him,” Smith added. “I don’t want to talk to you no more. When you gonna treat me like I’m disrespecting a man by calling him, in the history of the game that started in 1947, you gonna tell me that I’m disrespecting a man by having him No. 2 all-time, you’ve lost your damn mind. I’m not talking to you.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230814#BUS#46177"></div>


Simply put, you’re not going to intimidate Stephen A. Smith. He’s gonna tell it as it is, and having James as a close second, considering how many legends have played this game, is far from disrespectful.

Last January, Damar Hamlin&nbsp;suffered a cardiac arrest during a Monday Night game against the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a>&nbsp;at Cincinnati. However, in a remarkable story, the safety is fully recovered with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a>. 



The 24-year old was hospitalized after he collapsed on the field at&nbsp;Paycor Stadium&nbsp;following a tackle to&nbsp;wide receiver,&nbsp;Tee Higgins. His heartbeat had to be restored on site before he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230106#CMS#0032"></div>


Those first days were critical as he was treated at the&nbsp;University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The big question was if Hamlin would return to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. Now, the safety just played his first game with the Bills against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a>.



<h2>Damar Hamlin is back with the Bills after cardiac arrest</h2>



Damar Hamlin played his first game with the Buffalo Bills after suffering a cardiac arrest eight months ago. The safety took the field at Orchard Park in Week 1 of the preseason against the Indianapolis Colts.


 

 


“When I’m feeling those nerves and I’m feeling those emotions, it just means I really love this. I love this, like, I want to be here. I want to play. I want to do good. I want to be one of the greats. I want to be remembered as somebody who stood for something and who made a difference when I was out there on the field.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230726#BUS#35792"></div>


Head coach Sean McDermott couldn’t hide his emotions. “It’s a true sign of a young man’s courage and obviously everyone who helped him get to this point. I know there was a football game going on out there today, but I mean truly remarkable display of courage and strength and faith. I think that shows a lot about who he is.”

Ron Rivera sparked a huge controversy with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Washington Commanders</a> by admitting his players had questioned the intensity of Eric Bieniemy’s methods at training camp. It’s the hottest topic in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



“Yes. I mean, they have. I’ve had a number of guys come to me and I said: ‘Hey, just go talk to him. Understand what he’s trying to get across to you.’ I think as they go and talk and listen to him, it’s been enlightening for a lot of these guys.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230721#BUS#33150"></div>


As a consequence, Rivera was criticized for pointing out Eric Bieniemy, one of the most respected offensive coordinators in the league after his work with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>. Now, he had to apologize.



<h2>Ron Rivera blames himself for Eric Bieniemy’s controversy</h2>



One day later, when the story was all over social media, Ron Rivera had to come out again to clarify what he meant by exposing Eric Bieniemy and his players. The head coach confirmed he already talked with the offensive coordinator about the subject.


 

 


“I basically told him I put my foot in my mouth. I think what I said wasn’t as clear as it needed to be. I think the understanding of it is just the fact that I think everybody’s making, in my opinion, a little bit more than needs to be made of this. Because again, the results are what you’re looking for on the field, and so far, the last couple days have been outstanding.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230719#BUS#31709"></div>


Furthermore, the head coach also was under scrutiny because his players were considered ‘soft’. “I think Eric has done a great job of communicating his message now that guys have opened up, talked with him, he’s opened up to them. Since those conversations took place with Eric and the players, I’ve seen the improvements. The last couple practices have probably been the best of training camp.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a> have a serious problem at the running back position. After <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jonathan-taylor">Jonathan Taylor</a> asked for a trade, the star suffered an ankle injury which made him leave training camp. There’s no timetable for his return.



Then, Zack Moss broke an arm and he’s at least six weeks out. As a consequence, the depth chart was absolutely a concern for new head coach Shane Steichen. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230730#BUS#38080"></div>


The first moves made by the Colts’ front office were the signings of Kenyan Drake and Jason Huntley to face the preseason. However, the real target is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kareem-hunt">Kareem Hunt</a>, a proven star in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a>.



<h2>Which will be the new team of Kareem Hunt?</h2>



On Wednesday, Kareem Hunt visited the Indianapolis Colts trying to reach an agreement. It’s important to remember that the New Orleans Saints are also pursuing the star to give Derek Carr another weapon after the suspension of Alvin Kamara.


 

 

 


In fact, the Colts put the money on the table before Hunt even visited the Saints, but, the running back decided to talk with both teams. In that moment, Indianapolis seemed like the clear front-runner. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230804#BUS#41167"></div>


However, according to a report from Tom Pelissero, Kareem Hunt left Indianapolis with no deal. At the moment, the running back will analyze his options as the best free agent available in the NFL. Right now, the race is between Saints and Colts. Nevertheless, no one knows if Hunt is waiting for a surprise team.

NFL News: Colts and Saints 'fight' for star running back - Bolavip US

Not so long ago, the Indianapolis Colts were a contender in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> thanks to extraordinary quarterbacks such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/peyton-manning">Peyton Manning</a> and Andrew Luck. However, during the last years, the results have been terrible.



Matt Ryan wasn’t the franchise player they expected and, as a consequence, Frank Reich was out as head coach. Jeff Saturday worked as interim and now the future leader will be Shane Steichen, who was spectacular as offensive coordinator of the Eagles. All hopes are on rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230809#BUS#43333"></div>


Now, in the middle of preseason, Jonathan Taylor, one of their best players, has sparked a big controversy. The star asked the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a> to be traded, but then he got injured. That’s why Indianapolis’ front office has been looking desperately for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfls-top-running-backs-meet-to-discuss-salary-problems-list-of-attendees-revealed-20230724-BUS-34555.html">running backs</a>.



<h2>Colts sign a shocking replacement for Jonathan Taylor</h2>



In a surprising turn of events, Jonathan Taylor had to leave Colts’ training camp because of an ankle injury. These were the words of head coach&nbsp;Shane Steichen.&nbsp;“He was absent as part of his rehab process. If you don’t see him out here, it’s part of his rehab.”


 

 


Furthermore, the depth chart is thin for Indianapolis as Zack Moss has a broken arm and is out at least all preseason. That’s why, as an immediate measure, the Colts have officially announced they’ve signed free agent Jason Huntley. A few days ago, they also acquired Kenyan Drake. 



Kareem Hunt visited the team yesterday, but, as he left with no deal, Huntley was signed to get snaps in the start of preseason. They had no other options as Taylor, Moss and even Deon Jackson are dealing with injuries. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230730#BUS#38080"></div>


In the case of Huntley, the running back was drafted in 2020 by the Detroit Lions, but he was waived a few months later and signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. In the 2022 season, the player was in the Steelers’ practice squad.

After <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> left, the Patriots haven’t been the same.
